Cable TV digital music
Jb, Yes, I would go from the Motorola spdif out to the Cary coax in with a moderately priced digital coax cable. If you have one on hand, if not grab one from a big box retailer that you can return.Bruce 
Cable TV digital music
Hi Joeb,If it is a Comcast Motorola HD/DVR then it has spdif (usually an orange colored rca type) digital output as well as toslink (fiber optic) digital output. I looked at your Cary 306/200 online via manufacturers pdf and it appears that you ha... 
recommend speaker for Krell KRC and KSA-200S
After owning several pieces of classic Krell equipment from the KRC and KSA era (pre digital camera days but my early feedback shows the gear sold) I can honestly say that I enjoyed a pair of Thiel CS 3.6's for many, many years. At one point, in a... 
Where's the best spot to put my audio stand
Viiu,that's exactly what I ended up doing with my rack. It was 5 shelves tall in the middle and set back pretty far. Split it into 2 units to lower overall height and found it to sound much better than before. From a WAF it needed to stay on that ... 
REGA APOLLO
I bought mine new from dealer....stone cold out of box was the normal let down, but I've been down this road before. What I did was hook it up to a low power, cool running integrated amp for a 2 week period and put the Apollo on repeat with a Shef... 
Company or Solitude?
Company is fine for me when in the company of musicians or fellow audiophiles......unspoken rules apply......no chatter while music is playing.That being said, solitude is the most commonly experienced session. My wife, love her dearly, can almost... 
Integrated amp for B&W 805S under $1200?
"I mostly listen to classical music, and also some opera and jazz. So I want an amplifier that does justice to the grand symphony sound (think Mahler's Fifth or Tchaiokovsky's Sixth). Sounding musical is very important also: in particular, in viol... 
Classe DR-6 or Adcom GFP-750
Agree with Classe DR-6, one of the most missed preamps I've ever had........smoooooth and easy to listen to for hours. 
How LONG have you been an AUDIOGONER'?
April 2000 is when I finally signed up but had been viewing for a year or so before that. 
NAD 7600... any good?
I agree with Jmcgrogan2. I owned one back in the day when I sold hifi and loved it. If you get it and don't think it betters your current setup you can surely sell it here to recover your money. (Depending on how much your friend wants for it.) He... 
does temperature affect speaker performance?
From my experiences living in Pa., where temps run from 90+ summers to 30 and lower winters, I will have to agree with you. My first house did not have AC and can attest to the dramatic sound changes with temperature that I experienced. A typical ... 
When did you know that music was your passion?
1972, we moved out of Philly to a near by suburb that had a very strong music program. It was my first day of second grade at our new school when I walked into the "bandroom" by accident. I now believe that it was not a mistake but a subliminal ac... 
Drivers for Paragon Acounstic JEM
Did both drivers get damaged or just one?If you get a chance to pull one out and get the model number off it let me know, I may be able to help you out if it is one driver and if it's a 24W100. I have 1 24W100 brand new in box never used from Sole... 
Opinion on Sonic Frontiers SFM-160 monoblocks
Great amps! Thorman is correct about retubing it, unless the seller is honest and has newer tubes in it. If it needs tubes plan on something in the $300+ price range for a good octet of power tubes. Sound like a very good deal even with a new set ... 
What is flat impedance?
Thanks Tvad, I just caught your thread 2 seconds after posting this question...............Looks like it will take a while to sift through but I appreciate the link-up.
