| How do you ship heavy oversized speakers I agree with perfectimage, if you can send these for only $200 each, consider yourself lucky. If you take them to Mailboxes etc, they'll need to be crated, that alone will cost you $200+, then they also charge an increased shipping fee...... I had... | |
| Linn av5140 feedback? I love my AV 5140's!!!! I've also got the AV 5120 as my center, a perfect match! I've used these speakers with Aragon and Acurus amps, but now I've got them running on Linn AV 5105's and it's much smoother, especially the highs and vocals. I had a... | |
| Salamander Synergy Rack Experiences? Quadraspire makes similar, I feel slightly better looking racks than the Salamander, I don't have them yet though... | |
| Stainless Steel audio racks? The coolest steel racks I've ever seen are by Scroer & Schroer www.shroer.de/. They do distribute to the US, they are somewhat limited in the number of components they handle, but you'll find none better looking! | |
| Cable TV / Subwoofer HUMMMMMMM Something all of you may have missed, and an easier fix than any listed. The exact same thing happened to me in my HT when I added seperate power amps to a receiver, what the problem was was having a dimmer swich on a lamp (or wall) in the same li... | |
| Best HT speaker system All those are nice, but if you want great dynamics and incredible smoothness, go with the Linn AV system, it's amazing. If you've got more money than you know what to do with, the Revel Ultima series if impossible to beat, but the #38,000 price ki... | |
| Adcom, Acurus or McCormack Artemus, I havent't listened to and Adcom amp in my system, but I have had an Aragon 4004 mkII, Acurus A250 and 200x3 and both a McCormack DNA 1 and 2 in both my HT and reference system, the Acurus and Aragon have far better punch and bass than th... | |
| Attention Deficit Disorder Audiophilia Wife thinks you crazy huh? I had that before, but I always seemed to outlive 'em. First wife died eating poison mushrooms, beleive that s**t! Second wife died of a broken neck, wouldn't eat the mushrooms! Sorry, had to share this one that one of m... | |
| Can DVDs be copied to Videotapes? Actually their is a way, albeit illegal, like software piracy. A low end Chinese DVD player, the Apex AD600A (sold @ Cicuit City-newer ones don't have this though!) has a 'secret' loophole menu on it that was intended only for service techs etc bu... | |
| All-time best recordings for romance Cornfedboy, although a great album (I saw Zappa on this tour Halloween night @ the Felt Forum in NYC!) I wouldn't dream of listening to that for sex! Try just about any Tori Amos or Portishead, you'll do much better with the girlies! | |
| Acurus versus Bryston, Classe, Etc. I must agree with all of you, owning both an Acurus A250 and 200x3 for the home theater, and an Aragon 4004 Mk II in the bedroom, the Acurus is good, though slightly brighter, which to me is a plus in HT. Musically it does lack some. They will sta... | |
| Biggest Sonic Improvement Living in a condo, with horrible power, I've found a Chang Lightspeed 9600 ISO was a HUGE upgrade for a little investment. The noise was completely gone, bass was tighter and more abundant, soundstage opened up, hell I love it so much I bought a 9... | |
| best THREE channel amp for about $1,000 I must agree with the above, I use and Acurus 200x3 and an A250 on the front for stereo, I picked both of them up on Audiogon for just over a grand and am very happy with them in my home theater. They aren't quite as powerful as my Aragon in the b... | |
| Why has Netflix gotten greedy? Yo carl_eber. THERE IS a site competing with Netflix, it's called cafe DVD, I think the URL is similar, I haven't joined them yet, but they have like 6000 DVD titles, and offer a package like Netflix used to. I unfortunately am stuck with netflix ... | |
| Guilty pleasure music? Michael, I disagree, I find it mazingly interesting that people who are well informed and knowledgeable in the field of High end audio listen to all kinds of music! Sure I'd never bring old New York Dolls to a store to test speakers or CD players,... |
