| Pass Labs X-1000 monoblocks No, but i'm sure I'd love to if I could, and with that power, I likely could, hear the music over the noise of the extra A/C units they would require here in Florida!!!!If you live WAY up north, they would make great heaters, and likely sound amaz... | |
| System upgrade suggestions I have a suggestion.... Yes, it is a small room, but you could easily improve your system, and keep the sound by getting a pair of Linn 5140's. The footprint isn't significantly bigger than the stands you must have the Tukans on, and they will rea... | |
| Best All time 5.1 Pre/Pro I'm never sorry about upgrading! I just seem to skip a vacation......wait a minute, I'm off this week and home! Oh yeah, that's what paid for the DV-50!Guess I'll need to work for a few weeks again....Thanks for all the help! | |
| Best All time 5.1 Pre/Pro Well, after much consideration, I'm heading towards the EAD 8800 Pro, if all goes well, it will be here in a few months...... just can't get away with too many upgrades too fast without the wife getting some furniture or something! | |
| What's good used 5.1pre/pro for $1500 or less If you want something really amazing and cheap, consider the Proceed PAV/PDSD combo, they went for $10K new, and sell now for ~1500 used. They are built like tanks and sound far better than the AVP they came out with later.... I won't say anything... | |
| How do you get to listen to high end speakers? I agree with the rest of the guys, I wouldn't have bought the cable, and wouldn't frequent that dealer anymore. I don't like some of the practices of my local dealer, but they are always happy to show me anything they have! | |
| Perfect Day to just Rock Out Funny, I pretty much did the same. Fianlly got my Esoteric DV-50 (on order for like 8 weeks!) and have been going through all my older CD's while getting acquanted with the player, and burning it in! The wife was out at a friends, so volume wasn't... | |
| Pioneer DVD 563a You're likely to find problems with 'Finding Nemo' and 'Pirates of the Carribean' as well... seems there is some compatability problem with that player and Disney disks, possibly others using whatever it is Disney does to confuse it. | |
| Regarding people selling equipment to U.S.A. only I've sold several things overseas, I'm always upfront with the buyers regarding shipping costs, which can be quite high. I sold an older Mcintosh pre to a guy in Japan who wanted it Express mail, and didn't bat an eye at the $275 US shipping. Cana... | |
| Buying an mp3 player The iPod has something like 2 hours of anti skip. I've used mine for years and never had it miss a beat. As for battery life, the newer model does have slightly less battery life, like 8 hours. If you set up the iPod to have the backlighting on ye... | |
| Philips 963SA normal characteristics? 1) Compared to many higher end CD players, I agree, I understand modifying them really helps, but I have moved mine to another system and bought a better player.2) Sometimes.....FWIW I paid less than $400 NEW, for that, it does quite well. | |
| Best Live Albums? Graham Parker - Live Alone in AmericaTHE BEST LIVE ALBUM EVER!!!! | |
| recommend a good computer and digital camera? I'll add another vote for MAC, I was always a PC guy since the original XT machines, but when XP came out, I needed a new computer and all my friends had compatability issues. I wanted something for digital music, video and photography. Well, two ... | |
| Nakamichi 505 or the Dragon ? FWIW I have always found Nak decks to only sounds best when played back on that deck. That is great if you aren't planning onusing the tapes else where... but otherwise can be a problem.I must also admit, that I still have a Nak C4A in my system, ... | |
| Is it important to match amps for LCR speakers? I've done it every way possible, and I finally ended up with every channel on identical amp systems. Different manufacturers and even different amps in the same line respond to pre outs differently, and cause shifts in balance at various volumes, ... |
