| sony dvp-ns500v- how's the sound on redbook cd's? As the owner of one, the SACD is good, marginally good, but good for the price. Redbook - not so hot. HOWEVER: invest in the mods available, and everything improves. For 335.00 dollars, SACDmods.com can turn this player into a very good Redbook pe... | |
| Surge protection for Bryston amp If you want to persue something like this, you might consider whole house surge protection right at the electrical panel. I had whole house surge/spike done when I had the dedicated lines for my amp installed. It was about an additional 200.00 to ... | |
| Senior Audiophiles - Audiophile since the 60-70's? I'll check in at being really into it beginning in 1972.I wouldn't trade my exisiting setup for an earlier one, but I must say the music was just as much fun then as it is now.My favorite decade was the 70's in undergraduate school. I had a Sansui... | |

| How do I merge home theater into my 2 chan setup? Scotty910-if you are passing digital signal to HT processor, and analog signal to preamp from same unit, just keep the HT processor off and feed the analog signal through your pre and straight to the amp? Vice versa for DVD digi signals.If I under... | |
| How do I merge home theater into my 2 chan setup? Edesilva-I can't speak for other mfrs., but Sunfire doesn't use shorting plugs or switches between the Bal/SE inputs on the CGS. Both are "hot". You are correct re: the chance that both processor and pre could be sending signal to the amp at the s... | |

I use the Sunfire Theater Grand... | |

| Maggie Fans, what will u miss if you give them up? Nothin' cuz I ain't never gonna give them up! Been through a lot of box speakers over the years and never had anything come close to Magnepan for the quality of sound. I currently have a pair of MGIIIa's, a pair of MMG's doing rear channel duty, a... | |
