Pass Labs X-600's vs. XA-160's
Percon, Tpsonic, any thoughts on the Nemo's? Thanks again! 
Pass Labs X-600's vs. XA-160's
Percon, can you please elaborate on why you think I'd be happier with the 600's over the 160's. Is there anything specific that makes you feel this way? Being a dealer, you have the opportunity to listen to and evaluate both of these amps. Is ther... 
Pioneer PD65 needs a DAC
Thanks again Rex for your input. I will look into some of the brands you've suggested. Audioengr, I have a Sony DVP7000 sitting around, is it worth having any mods done to that? And then what DAC to use with it? 
Pioneer PD65 needs a DAC
Ligi, Rex, Imin2u, thanks for the great information. A quick question for you. Am I better off just spending a little more and replacing the Pioneer and getting a better CD player or go the route you've suggested? Imin2u, thanks for the offer. Unl...

ThemadmilkmanWell good luck and congrats four times. Sounds like your going to need all the music you can get. 
Rogue Zues with Vandersteen 5A's at 2004 HE Show
Thanks everyone for all your input. I appreciate it. Swampwalker, I've heard great things of those amps. Maybe in another system, some day!Themadmilkman, I apologize in advance if I offend you, but you had time to respond. If you should come acros... 
Rogue Zues with Vandersteen 5A's at 2004 HE Show
Themadmilkman,I certainly hope the article said more then they "sounded like crap", that's not much to go on. Some backround information. I have a pair of Aerial 10T's that I power in the follow way. I am using two BAT VK1000 monoblocks for the bo... 
Rogue Zues with Vandersteen 5A's at 2004 HE Show
SwampwalkerWhen you run an amplifier like that, (vertical) is there any harm being done to the amp as both channels are being driven differently. Obviously, if one channel is driving the woofer and the other channel is driving the mid's and hi's, ... 
two dedicated lines into one duplex outlet
Psychicanimal - You really should try just listening to the music for a while...and enjoy it. The rest of this stuff is just fantasy! 
two dedicated lines into one duplex outlet
Glen - Why should it matter (isolation noise) if in the end all the power is still coming from one place. Whether you use one circuit or two, it all goes back to the breaker box where all the power is coming from? Also, if like you say, most owner... 
two dedicated lines into one duplex outlet
I don't think there is any real benefit to doing this, except wasting a little money. Basically, your running two independant circiuts back to the breaker panel just to have two 15 amp breakers. I don't think plugging any two peices of equipment i... 
Good DAC to go with a Pioneer PD-65 as a transport
Glide3Good question on the budget. How much should one spend on a DAC for a machine that only cost $400 used? Certainly not more that a grand, I suppose. The rest of the system is as follows:Aerial 10T's powered by BAT VK60 monoblocks and a BAT VK... 
Need speaker cables for Aerial 10T's
Thank you to all who responded. You've giving me a few options to think about. I now have a starting point for my search for cables.Kennyb, so far the 10T's and the BAT are cooperating. I haven't had to break up any fights. The BATS are fantastic ... 
Aerial 7B vs Silverline Sonata
Hi,I can't comment on the Sonata's but I own the 7B's in my HT set-up. It doesn't get much better then this, except now I just purchased a Talon Roc sub. It's as good as you'll ever need for HT. This sub might just be the best peice of equipment I... 
Best home theater subwoofer to mate w/Aerial 7B's
Sugarbrie, I take it your not an HSU fan. Are these not good subs for HT?Mahandave, It is after all a dedicated HT room, so natually I would like the "overblown explosions". My friend just bought the Sunfire sub, it's hard to keep that sub from da...
