| Hybrid system with separates vs. receiver I have the VAC Avatar Super. I have auditioned the MF-A5, which is very good. | |
| New Cowboy Junkies- Wow Thanks for the excellent reco, it is getting a lot of airtime at my house! Finds like these is what makes A-gon so great. | |
| Hybrid system with separates vs. receiver I have a similar set-up with an integrated amp with a HT pass through and a receiver driving everything else. Works extremely well - no hassle and great sound for either application. | |
| Tube CDP to match my DK VS1MK2 I don't own the DK, but would recommend an audition of a Jolida 100. | |
| TV VIEWING DISTANCE QUESTION I have a 50" Plasma at just over 10 ft. and at first it seemed huge but now we are all used to it and it seems just right. I think 56 would be great at 11'6". | |
| How good is the Musical Fidelity A5? I have this CDP and really like that it is not sterile at all. It throws a great soundstage and all around is a very nice sounding player. I couldn't audition the Audio Aero Prima or Lector players that I was also considering but the A5 put an end... | |
| What can I do to upgrade If music is the priority I would recommend an upgrade to the source first. I am not sure of your budget, but maybe a used Jolida 100. I have gone through a similar process of going from a system originally designed for HT to one more for music. | |

I have seen excellent feedback as far as both sound and build quality. I believe it has MM phono standard with an option for a MC. I think it loo... | |
| Receivers with Video Switching What we need is something that will convert everything to HDMI! | |
| Can HI FI components really make music? You should at least try to audition some different speakers, especially given the honest feedback you have received from many in this thread. You are going to sell them anyway, so sell them. Seek out a few suggestions, make a short-list, do some a... | |
| Grand Pianos paired with Classe/Theta electronics? That's a great deal! I would be interested to know if SF is phasing them out for a new model. | |
| DK Design VS- Reference vs Signature I corresponded with DK early last week and they indicated that the vIII was shipping very soon but it is still not listed on their web-site as of today. | |
| Best way to go HT with focus on 2 channel I have a Sunfire receiver with Von Schweikerts all around in a HT system. I have tentatively made the decision to go with an integrated amp and use a bypass type set-up just like longhornav. I thought about the sim audio but I thought it was shy o... | |
| Panasonic 50" Plasma Lots of panny discussion on avsforum. I preferred Philips for my 50" plasma but lots of folks seem to really enjoy the panasonic. | |
| Von Schweikert 4jr cables? Check out Analysis Plus Shotgun bi-wire, if you shop around you should be able to be close to your budget target. |
