| Is CES worth the trip? let me put it simply: you've no idea what's goin' on in the world of audio-- high, mid and in between-- if you don't attend ces. interesting article in latest tas about t.h.e. show v. ces. worth a read. | |
| Best Solid State Amp For 10k Or Less there are any number of accuphase and jeff rowland design group amps (new or used) at the $10k pricepoint that will better any of your current selection of alternatives. they may not mate well with you krell pre, but then what does? well worth hea... | |
| Wrong direction? garfish: according to a post on aa, the "sound & vision equipment guide 2001" was on the newstands as of 10/18/00. haven't looked for it myself. cheers! | |
| Acceptable hiss ? with a high quality pre and amp, you should hear virtually no hiss, even with your ear pressed close to the tweeter with volumn set at your "normal" listening point. this is particularly true of line stages but equally so for the very best phono s... | |
| Do Dealers think it is sinful.......... kthomas is right. we all need to use the same math. to clarify my prior post: (1) the lion's share of highend harware (speakers, amps, etc.) is sold on a "40 point" margin to dealers, i.e., if the "retail" on an amp is $10,000, the "dealer cost" i... | |
| Wrong direction? FWIW, the audio mag annual equipment list has been picked up, to an extent, by sound & vision a/k/a "deaf & blind." there are some interesting pissed-off posts re: the new list at aa, since deaf & blind has reportedly refused to incude... | |
| BNC Info Please south43: bnc is the pro standard for digital connections. for an interesting overview of all the combos of inteconnect one might use in the digital domain, check out the review of the dcs purcell d/d "converter" in the jan, 01 stereophile. it's ge... | |
| Krell, Classe or Bryston? the classe' s are the smoothest, most musical of the group, IMO. they'd be my choice if i couldn't afford accuphase or boulder. a big problem with the krell gear, among many, is how quickly it becomes obsolete through the intro. of ever more model... | |
| CableTVboxes: info??on Voyager/Explorer? swampwalker: i've not tried the s-video enabled dss sysem, tho i've seen it demoed. i have also seen a number of demos of other products, such as real highend overhead projectors, at ces. i have never seen real world results measure up to the high... | |
| "Krell" is a buzzword sedond: i can certainly understand a bmw site going down in flames. i, too, find many other bimmer owners insufferable. as for me: i bought my first, a '69 2002, the day our first son was born. cost $3800. i've owned 7 since then and have loved ea... | |
| "Krell" is a buzzword do you find it as interesting as i that posts re: automobiles on an audio site draw none of the wrath manifested by threads on krell/mit, etc.? perhaps all of us (excluding david99 and carl_eber) should join the alfa group, where we could discuss ... | |
| CableTVboxes: info??on Voyager/Explorer? if you are able to receive digital cable, do subscribe. it's a HUGE improvement over analog. i had 6 or 7 different analog boxes called all sorts of different names. none was very good, even those labeled "pioneer." the digital boxes (i have 2 mod... | |
| Pre-amp or Pre-pro,, which one to get ? sorry about the spelling error. that should chennals. i think. | |
| Pre-amp or Pre-pro,, which one to get ? you've come to the wrong place. there's a whole section on audiogon devoted to HT. that's where you're thread belongs. please leave us po' folk with only 2 cahnnels to worry about to our own concerns. thank you. bye! | |
| Do Dealers think it is sinful.......... awdeeofylle: what planet did you drop in from? have you ever bought highend gear? fact is, the margin is from 40-70%. thus, the great majority of highend gear has plenty of space for discounts. products like cables and wire, which is frequently ma... |
