| My CD Player is Obsolete I am, as are many others, interested in this idea, though I use a PC. I'm curious what type of hard drive space you require-per disc (uncompressed!) or per hour, as a ballpark idea. I'm in the market for a new computer and digital camera, so seems... | |
| best preamp under 500 for cheap, poor student Subdoofus,Looking at your system.....I want your dad!!My dad's system was a coffin sized TV/Radio/Phono... It got loud (amazingly I didn't blow it on Led Zep's Trampled underfoot..) but it was nothing like what you've gotten from your dad!!! | |
| Krell AVS future ? I agree with all the above.Don't feel so bad, everyone who bought Proceed's PAV/PDSD is thinking the same thing now!!! | |
| What Would you Trade your System FOR? BrianW, The Diablo is a Lamborghini!I've actually given this some thought, given the current situation, I've been upgrading as much as I can. Money may be worth less, or worthless in the future (I know it's an apocalyptic view but...) I really don... | |
| Amp protection circuitry? all that its cracked up to be? Argent,Living in the lightning capital of the word (Clearwater, FL) I worry about this quite a bit. Don't. If lightning hits your house,your equipment will fry! A very good friend of mine suffered a 'near strike' and lost many components in his HT... | |
| Avoid UPS Shipping To/From Canada I've also had my issues with UPS, like dropping my subwoofer on some metal I beam! Nice job on the veneer their guys! Forget about collecting. I too have switched, I use Fed Ex or USPS priority mail. USPS is the cheapest of all and gets it there f... | |

| B&W 802 s 3 midrange replacement or repair? I'd go to another dealer or go through B&W directly. My brother got a replacement 15" woofer for his B&W sub directly for less than $300. I'll bet they'll send you the manuals you want as well!! | |
| NE1 know where to find out if a source is discrete on/off? Remote control central does a great job in this area.http://www.remotecentral.com/They even include the codes for many things the companies themselves deny having discreet codes for (ie Replay TV's)Good luck!As an aside, you can get away without d... | |
| How come no one talks about the BEST REMOTES?? The Pronto is a very good remote, I've had one for almost two years and it works well for me, but you're right Bazmataz, you cannot hook it up to 'current sense'. If all of your components have discreet power codes, (or any way to get to a 'known ... | |
| CD Recorders Unless you'll be recording from analog sources, you'll do much better to put a CD-R in your computer and do your CD copying/mixing there. It's faster and far cheaper, and as the source is digital, is unchanged....That said, if you're looking to ar... | |
| Best Remote?? I second the Pronto (or the Marantz-they're the same) I've had mine for over a year and have never had any problems with it, and it took my eight remotes and made them into one with every feature represented. P.S. The macros even allow my girfrien... | |
| Opinions on Monster Cable 2.4s biwire cable? I used the 2.4s Bi-wires in my bedroom system (Aragon 24K pre, Aragon 4004 MkII amp, Proceed PCD 2). I liked the wires, but ended up replacing the fuses in the 4004 because the wire where so heavy and cumbersome they shorted out while showing them... | |
| Down firing sub I use a Linn AV 5150 which is downfiring but the manual clearly shows how to pull off the stand and mount it to be front firing (i.e. in and enclosure/stand/or the 'little niche' your wife will allow.)It's an interesting question, given that you c... | |
| CD Burners: Which one to buy? I've also been considering buying one, and everywhere I check, people keep telling me to just buy one for my computer and use it, in the words of a very good friend and serious audiophile (as well as computer geek) .."you can do it all for $125 in... |
