| TV to Receiver cables Check out this thread. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?bhome&1222723975Don't spend big bucks on HDMI. I went for Blue Jean cable, quick delivery. | |
| "D" amps, general discussion who's 1 and why? "11-28-08: DobHello Dave: Never make assumptions. I own a pair of Spectrons with all upgrades ($21k retail). Good amps. I heard a lot about your Jeff Rowland ($9k) and I am well familiar with Rowland 312 ($14k) - you probably can add new Bel Canto... | |
| Which is the most tubelike solid state amp around Is there really such an animal? I simply don't understand some of the suggestions given so far. Lot's of nice amplifiers but tube like? Audio Research designs tube gear that sounds closer to solid state than most. With the exception of a hybrid I ... | |
| "D" amps, general discussion who's 1 and why? This hobby is so subjective and system dependent that individual opinion, whether it be from a casual user or even professional reviewers, is almost useless. The handling of The Absolute Sound's reviews of the NuForce 9SE "Amplifier Of The Year", ... | |
| Pioneer Elite vs. Pioneer "Standard" Kuro Plasmas As a Californian I saved almost 2K on a 151FD, great pricing, no tax, and free shipping from here.http://www.axxisdurango.com/Welcome.htmlNo buyers remorse here. | |
| avr receiver help Evolving your two channel over the long haul sounds like the smart way to go. You might think about another amplifier and a two channel pre with pass through. These don't need to cost a great deal to achieve that delicate two channel sound. If you... | |
| avr receiver help At $1500 you should be comparing the receivers processors, room correction, transformer capacity or class D operation. Even a high quality FM tuner needs a good antenna in a good location to sound good. While modern receivers are terrific for HT p... | |
| Walmart pushing blu-ray Wow, what a lot of pre qualifying. The price of admission is under $200 for incredible picture and sound. Add another $800 and you might be able to see a marginal difference between players but who cares it's just HT. If there's a cost hike it wou... | |
| Next Step Advice I would tend to agree with Saki70. While Paradigm speakers are a good value I was never satisfied with there Studio 100 (versions 1, 2, 3, and S8) presentation or personality. Switching to a PS Audio HCA-2 and later to NuForce SE's helped a great ... | |
| Being given 2 custom systems but what to ask for? In a sense your like Little Red Riding Hood (and I mean this in a very positive way) walking through the dangerous forrest. That said, if you can find a professional who doesn't market equipment you'll probably end up with a fine system that compl... | |
| Class D and High Efficiency Speakers? The subject of class D always seems to bring on the detractor who's class D experience can be limited to varying degrees. My red flags pop up when I hear the general reference to class D and not a specific model. While I still own a fine tube and ... | |
| Denon or Pioneer for HT Both have room correction. As I understand it, the Audyssey uses a parametric style EQ and the Pioneer has their own in house developed parametric/graphic EQ. I just upgraded my Integra 5.3 to the Elite SC-07 and the difference is very nice. I thi... | |
| Home Theatre Question No, just two Eidolons but they are simply outstanding. Hearing them in stores and shows they always seemed sleepy to me and they never changed or upgraded the design all that much over the years. After just a few weeks their presentation became cl... | |
| Home Theatre Question The Arcam seems like a fine receiver (class D?) but if the list of features on their website is accurate I strongly suggest looking elsewhere. Does the Arcam have HDMI in's and out's, True HD audio, room correction? IMO these are must haves. I hav... | |
| Home Theatre Question I wouldn't give up on HT so quickly. Film and music video are starting to come into there own with HD and Blue Ray. I'm guessing your nice two channel system is providing you with sound staging, you have a working knowledge of your room, and this ... |
