| How large is your music collection? The way to determine if it large enough is to calculate 'time to death', which is assumed to be when you are 76 years old. So, if you started now to listen to each item in your collection would you die before completing the task? Yes, the older yo... | |
| Foam Plugs ProAC provides plugs with some of their speakers, for the reason rodman99999 mentioned. Try is the best way to hear the difference. | |
| CD Player Under $1.5k With Vinyl Sound No such thing. Don't waste you time and money looking. Be happy, enjoy. Also, try to listen to some good pre-recorded reel tapes. Since they are analog, it might make you aware of what you are hearing, cd vs vinyl but in reality analog vs. digital... | |
| Transfer of Library to a back-up External HD I think DRM is at work in not letting you do the copy. Check the iTunes blogs for details. | |
| Buy new TV now or wait for 3D technology? I think the Sony organic displays will show up first. If you have seen the twelve inch model you will want to wait. 3D is almost a decade way, at least at price points you can afford. I have a Samsung CRT HD set and a Sony front projector for movi... | |
| I need help with my Equipment addiction Only a twelve step program will work, for you. Search google and I am sure you will find a group near you. | |
| Dorm Room Amp/Preamp used Cayin, tubes. Will drive anything you fit in a dorm room. Of course, the tubes will be cool, cool, cool. Enjoy | |

| KEF 107 - opening them? + other questions Dump them, repair is not cost effective and the sound will not please you. | |
| What do I buy? Klipsch vs. Definitive Technology You may want to consider using a pair of subs, rather then a single unit. A lot of good subs out there. For a discussion and analysis of why two, check out Floyd Toole's new book 'Sound Reproduction' Long before I read Toole's stuff, I started usi... | |
| To mod or not to mod, dac is the question Mod's are never cost effective given the small if any improvement in sound they produce. Couple that with the fact they void the warranty, makes a no mod approach best. Used equipment is another story. | |
| I would like some feedback on a int. amp Please reconsider 100 wpc given the room size. At least 200wpc power is a must, otherwise you will be very disappointed. Of course tubes are out, solid state is the only way to go, especially with your budget. | |
| Current Inexpensive CD Vs High Priced 90's Buy a refurb Sony 595 cd/sacd changer from Sonystyle for $60 and let your ears be the judge. If you don't like it, Sony will pick it up and refund all your money. Scary, you may never look back. | |
| Lacking Soundstage - Vandersteen 2C Try a screen on the wall less side. As others have mentioned, your room maybe too small. | |
| Opinions re Thorens tables Thorens are excellent tables, when like all tables they are properly set up. If buying used, a must is to pick it up. No shipping, or 'you will be sorry.' Have it demo'd before you finalize the sale. |
