| Any system ever moved you emotionally like this? I can't remember what I was litening to, but when I heard a pop, the music stopped, and smoke came out of my amp - that brought a tear to my eye.On a serious note, these songs always strike a chordLeann Rimes - Probably Wouldn't Be This WayAllison... | |
| Balanced power compatabilty census I am running a BPT fed by a dedicated circuit. I found that the video peformance on my old CRT based TV was phenomenally improved. I don't run my integrated out of the conditioner since I found that it definetely chokes off the sound. | |

| Hearing loss and center image Mitch you are using the Valsalva technique, commonly used by pilots to equalize on descents. It is too bad that your doctor didn't suggest it sooner. | |
| Musical Fidelity Kw500 & Bryston A/V: Set up HELP It's kind of amazing that the KW 500 doesn't have the home theater pass thru like it does on its other integrated amps. What Michael suggested will work fine, just be careful to watch the volume when switching sources. | |
| Complete Makeover Yes, in my system I have an integrated amp with a pass through and a receiver. When in HT pass through, the receiver is controling the amp volume to the fronts while the receiver amp is driving the rest of the speakers. When two channel, the integ... | |
| Complete Makeover Wow, this is no easy question. IMO, the best way to optimize a combined system is to use a HT pass thru set-up on either an integrated amp or preamp so that you can essentially isolate the 2 channel from the HT. You could use your ROTEL in such a ... | |
| Modding the Denon 2900? This might not answer your question, but I had a similar experience with a 2900 and MF tri-vista DAC. That combo was only slightly more detailed then the stand alone 2900. I ended up going with a dedicated CDP for redbook, the MF-A5 which is much ... | |
| Do I want a sub with VR-4jr's? I have the 4JRS and a VRS-1 Sub that I only use in HT (works great). In 2 channel, I believe that bass reproduction is a function of amplification, placement, and the source material. I have a tube amp and the 4JRs kick very nice bass out with a l... | |
| Too good to be true? I thought the broken windows theory was based on the benefits of repairing and keeping up neighborhoods as a crime deterrent. Oh yeah, that would be bad for the economy. | |
| Too good to be true? Eldartford, did this thesis factor in the increased insurance premiums, the cost of police investigating the crime, the cost of the homeowner repairing damage to a residence, the time value of finding a replacement TV, the cost of maintaining secu... | |
| WAF Tricks to Display Exotic Audio Always an issue and I don't have a good answer for you. My wife hates it. It is interesting how many audio ads seem to leave out the cables when showing the speakers and gear though. | |
| Wilson Watt Puppies 5.0 + 7.0 Tweeters Value? Make sure to look at the core cast of characters in that price range, vandersteen, von schweikert, sonus faber, ....You should be able to get something really nice given your budget. | |
| Who woulda thought? A tube virgin no more huh Warren! I was about to ping you to see where you were in the process. Glad to hear that it is all coming together nicely for you. Of course tubes can be a curse, always wondering if there is a better tube to be had! I jus... | |
| Wilson Watt Puppies 5.0 + 7.0 Tweeters Value? Why not contact wilson and see how much it would be to upgrade to the 7.0 tweeter (and what it means), add that amount to the 5.0 used bluebook price and you have a decent ballpark to use as a guide. I wouldn't put too much faith in that, consider... |
