| Exposure Super XV 15 I'm not familiar with that model, but I had an Exposure preamp a few years ago and for the money it was great (I had to spend 2x to get a marginal improvement/upgrade). My expectaion is it would be a cut above the NAD. Exposure has a solid reputat... | |
| Bi-amping Snell Speakers Anyone? My experience is that passive biamping does produce an improvement, but it is not huge relative to the cost of buying another amp. I've had similar experience. I've tried many amp combinations on 2 separate systems and found one case where biampi... | |
| Bi-amping Snell Speakers Anyone? it sounds to me that while your amps are the same, they may not be matched for some reason. Did you connect in vertical or horizontal config? If Horizontal (ie one amp driving mid/tweet, the other driving bass), try vertical. If one side is louder... | |
| Parasound vs B&K vs Acurus I've owned many Parasound and B&K amps. The only Acurus component I ever owned was an ActI which I liked a lot, except for the fact you needed it to be connected to a monitor in order to tell what mode it was in.As for amps, I've owned many of... | |
| will adding a subwoofer improve overall audio Unless your main speakers are capable of faithful ~20hz reproduction, yes a sub will help. In my experience imaging, and overall accuracy improves no matter the size of the room. A good sub can be tuned to fit, though selecting the sub with the ro... | |
| Klaus Schulze and Lisa Gerrard - I agree it's not much like DCD . . . I would add this release is pure, unmistakable Klaus Schulze - with Lisa Gerrard vocals on the side (or vice-versa?) so if you like either on of those you're likely to appreciate this. | |
| Need help picking a preamp. There's a TAD 150 signature posted here for $700 - which is a good price on a great tube preamp. I don't know the seller, but own one myself. | |
| Most resolving solid state amp you've ever heard? I agree - Eagle 4, or Eagle 2C' (same amp, different face plate) I have both. | |

| channel cutting in and out a "pot" is a potentiometer - which is what controls your volume (ie it's the thing behind the volume knob that actually changes the volume level). It does this by having a "wiper" rub against a variable resistor. If the surface between the wiper a... | |
| channel cutting in and out I agree with Shadorne - it's likely a dirty pot. | |
| budget lcd or plasma: 720p good enough? I have a 50" 720p DLP display as a main TV, and a HT with 720p front projector on a 10 ft screen (see my system page). It's more than just "decent" IMO and I'm very happy with the resolution (even with the 10 ft dedicated theater), though maybe if... | |
| Speaker Packing? I don't think Fedex or UPS will offer that service but may be wrong. There may be local packaging service companies that will do this. That said, building packages for speakers isn't rocket science. Depending on the speaker size it will be labor i... | |
| Caravan - does anyone listen anymore? Caravan is a group whose original classic albums are the best way to experience them IMHO.. I agree. This goes for many groups. I find often compilations/best of are inferior to original releases |
