Processor/AVR help and suggestions
I have used the precursor to the Marantz (?8800), the Meridian G61, and the Anthem 2DV. The video for the Marantz and Anthem were excellent, especially the Anthem. I was not pleased with the audio for any of the three, particularly 2 channel sound...

Building a house with dedicated stereo room-advice
Five years ago, I was fortunate enough to build and design both a stereo room and a home theater room as part of a new house construction. It was expensive, but well worth it. I used Rives Audio to design the room (interestingly there was conflict...

I recently put in a pair of the Polk RTS 100 ceiling in a fourth system in my house (living room). The electronics are tubed SET, DAC, and sonos, all hidden in a cabinet. I absolutely love the sound of this system and the Polk speakers( I have not... 
Lessloss DFPC Signature VS Sablon Gran Carona
David12,I did not hear the Robusto. I demo'ed the GC at my home and compared to my existing array of pcs (Elrod sig and statements, LL signatures, various Shunyatas,etc.). I really like the GC, and it was re-statement of the audiophile axiom, "the... 
Lessloss DFPC Signature VS Sablon Gran Carona
I have both the LL signatures and the Sablon Gran Coronas. IMS/IMO the difference between the two is not even close. I have tried both in several of my systems and consistently the GCs out- perform the LL sigs (audio and video). The GCs have repla... 
DAC or Upgrade To MX150 From D2V??

A 'First' System for my Son
Interesting thread and great advice. I echo the concept of getting the child involved in the decision process and financial investment. Couple of thoughts:1. Peachtree decco 2 with era speakers is very good system.2. Pair of Sonos S5 with music co...

I have not heard the squeezebox touch. I have the sonos in the exact manner you propose, in my high end systems (2) and throughout the house and porch in various forms ( as an amplifier to ceiling speakers, as a source to a family room system, as ... 
How to open a Peachtree Nova?
I have a Nova and changed the tube. I removed all the external screws and gently pushed from the rear, not the front. Hope this helps, 
Adding a source to my Meridian system
I use a Sonos zp90 connected with a coax digital cable to a Meridian 861 in my HT system. My music is ripped losslessly and stored on a hard drive elsewhere in the house. I listen to this hd and use Rhapsody and I am constantly amazed about the su... 
Horns for HT?
In an earlier iteration of my HT, I had B&W 802 speakers and Mcintosh amps. I it sounded great but I got a taste of horns in my main music setup (which is separate.) So when I moved into my new house, which has separate music and HT rooms, I p...
