| Has LED caught up to Plasma? Fplanner, That's an amazing system! Not much wiggle room for improvement there. Enjoy. | |
| Best Cartridge for Well Tempered Reference Taking advantage of the Benz replacement program I recently replaced my Ruby with the new Ruby Z. This is a substantially different sounding cartridge. | |
| Has LED caught up to Plasma? I spent some time viewing the Sharp Elite 60X5FD in a Best Buy Magnolia room which was said to have been calibrated. Using the stores 75 ohm / cable feed and a Pioneer BDP-53FD Blueray playing the familiar Master and Commander.Indeed, this is the ... | |
| Purpose of using same speakers for surround? Some room correction software will give you a visual of the performance of your individual speakers and their locations. Some programs will match to the weakest speaker. Given some work in their placement a matched set will need much less correcti... | |
| Uverse quality questions Much of their quality might be depend on their systems quality in your area.As a Comcast user I shopped for Uverse and they touted superior service via fiber optical system. When the installers arrived they confirmed that the fiber optic ended abo... | |
| Center channel sound suddenly coming out of left During the speaker test the speaker being tested is the only one that's on. If your speaker wire termination is simple bare wire a strand could be touching the wrong speaker terminal on the rear of the receiver. Use a flashlight and look closely.T... | |
| How do we remember 1970s amplifiers? We bought a Cerwin-Vega A-1800 to power a small PA in 1977. As with some of the amps on your list this was the first generation of higher powered solid state amplification so there was little to compare. When the band split I got the amplifier. I ... | |
| Anyone heard Nuforce Reference 18's As an v3 SE owner it's unusual to hear from more than just one other who not only enjoys the NuForce presentation thru a reveling speaker system but who has also experienced the improvements that the attention to setup possibilities has on their p... | |
| world's best preamp closest to real sound stage Not me! So, what's up Rx8man? | |
| world's best preamp closest to real sound stage "Best" I've heard (and that's relatively few compared to all models ever made) is the MFA Luminescence non octal tube version. The unit itself was extremely microphonic to the touch yet it did not translate into the overall sound. Stunningly if no... | |
| Two JL F212s verses two Velodyne 18 plus? For what it's worth, I followed Mitchell going from the DD 15's to the JL Audio F113's in previous discussions. I consider him true to actual performance over brand loyalty and I trust his evaluation.I EQ'd my sub before running my Pioneer SC-07 r... | |
| Two JL F212s verses two Velodyne 18 plus? Exactly what is your sonic goal? Home theater with massive bass effect impact, music only with seamless low frequency integration, or both?If you have the room and don't mind a large enclosure the ultimate and possibly most economical is a 400w Se... | |
| Nuforce & HiFi Two things significantly improved the performance of my SE V3's. Upgrading the AC supply with a dedicated 20A breaker with BX 12G to Iso ground receptacles, and double shielded DIY power cable. Switching to a battery powered solid state preamp. | |
| Using Professional Amps On Home Theater Speakers I have an original QSC PLX 2402 that's used to power a Bag End 2-10" and an ELF 18". I did use it my two channel system for a few weeks. The PLX series has a switching power supply (not to be confused with class D) that is mechanically noisy for h... | |
| Best new 70" to 80" display Tpreaves, if your like me, whenever you see that word it provokes that-hey wait a minute-in the back of the head. Subjectivity is a wonderful thing and I can't agree with you more. Still, the people at the AVS forums are very comfortable using bet... |
