Anyone else running XM thru a decent 2 ch system?
Grahamndodder, you're right... and I agree with your assessment in terms of flexibility. What I like about the PC version is its ability to rapidly view the entire line up, and that it can notify me of pending air play of favorite bands, etc. Yes,... 
How do I clean CDs with isopropyl alcohol?
** I don't use soap. It can clog the groovesI believe what 7671 was referring to are the pits on the CDs, not the grooves. Now, I don't know if soap can necessarily clog these pits per se, but it can probably leave residue that could diminish the ... 
Anyone else running XM thru a decent 2 ch system?
I have it in my new car, and must say I'm really happy with it. Your thread is interesting because I'm looking into getting the PC receiver offered by XM. It allows the user to look up the entire line-up of all the stations at once on the screen: ... 
Cheap Strobe Light??
I'm confused...but, what's new? If I'm not mistaken, and correct me if I'm wrong, I believe Spindrifter's inquiry had more to do with using the strobe light to time the spin of the TT by making the TT appear as though it were spinning in slow moti... 
Why so few pictures posted in Virtual systems?
I guess it goes both ways. There's no denying that pictures can go a long way to sell an item. However, if what you have to sell isn't in the best of shape, etc... then it can compromise a sale. But one thing's for sure: Don't bother posting pictu... 
CD upgrade
Sorry Axendo, but I must definitely disagree with you. It sounds as though something - either your cables/interconnects, your room, or any other common element - is a weak link. If you can't hear a noticeable difference between your audiophile lev... 
MSB Link III DAC - The Right Way to Go?
Hi SlhijbI've had a few DACs in the past, and still have a couple now: an EAD and an MSB DAC III Full Nelson w/Power Base. I somewhat agree and disagree with Socrates. I wouldn't characterize the technology as being dated. As far as the performanc... 
sub connection-Pre-out vs Second spkr binding post
Simonleemd, does your sub have an internal X-over with inputs and outputs? Though not ideal, unless you have a pre out, it's probably better to run your fronts through the sub. The output signal from the sub should have the lower end freq that the... 
Powering System On - Switched Outlets vs Triggers
Interesting thought, Timo... but wouldn't the amp get too hot. Granted, it wouldn't be active. But I'm just concerned about having a decent size amp always on. Anything that occurs in the system (electrical or other) could be worsened with the amp... 
Digital vs. Analog Volume Control
I think I must agree with you Drrdiamond, it's what I've heard as well. But do you, or anyone, know how the digital volume control of the Meridian stacks up against the analog volume control of the MSB?I guess it all boils down to whether the volu... 
Power Conditioners vs. Power Cables
This is great! You've all given me more options to pursue to improve my system. And from what it sounds like, I'm not wasting my time, or money, in upgrading my power cables. Personally, I find the tweaking and tinkering to be half the fun of audi... 
Can't get Meridian 565 to detect digital input
Thanks, HackmasterI appreciate your response and advise! It's something I'll keep in mind for when I purchase my main DVD player.As far as the problem I had above, I did a bit more tinkering and discovered that the DVD player's digital output was ...
