| What do I do with a FedEx claim denial? Maybe, as some of you have pointed out, this is entirely my fault and I should have done something more to protect the remote from damage, but I am still having some difficulty understanding just how the remote came loose without the box being sig... | |
| What do I do with a FedEx claim denial? Thanks for all of the followups. I will look into small claims this week and give it a try. Theta offered to give me a remote for $150 instead of the $200 retail value. Doesn't seem like much of a discount but since Theta has to get the remote fro... | |
| Help with a Theta Data III Here is an update on my travels. Theta has had it for two weeks. It needs a new laser which will cost $325 and a new remote (damaged during shippment) which will cost $200. I bought the unit as a demo. Apparently the dealer used it alot because I ... | |
| Hotrod your Hermes Just had my Kora Hermes modified by Jerry Ramsey at Audio Magic. Very much worth the $800. Every aspect of the DAC's performance has improved. The soundstage has more depth, the top end and midrange are smoother, and the bottom end is better defin... | |
| Help with a Theta Data III Thanks for the info avguygeorge. I hope that your repair cost estimate is correct. I tried unplugging the unit but it did nothing to help the problem. I think that I am going to still second day it to Theta. Ground transportation is certainly less... | |
| suggestions for DVD player as transport The Theta DaViD is a very good transport. You can find them used for around $2000. | |
| Question about break-in method for interconnects I recently bought some Cardas cables and the package information stated that the component at the terminal end of a cable that you are breaking in does not need to be turned on. You can burn in a digital cable for example with the transport runnin... | |
| Theta DS Pro Gen VI - update Who knows when it comes to Theta. I sold my Gen Va months ago. I gave up on waiting for the Gen VI. Every time I emailed them about it I was told that the Gen VI was going to be out in the next 6 months. They announced the thing in January 1998! I... | |
| Input Level for analog signals on Proceed AVP? I own the Proceed AVP. I may be wrong on this because I only use the digital inputs but the input level has to be adjusted to not overload the analog to digital converters. These converters convert the signal to the digital domain for all of the s... | |
| Adding Tub Preamp to HT setup I presently have a setup like you are describing. I use a Conrad Johnson LS17 as my two channel preamp. This preamp has a HT pass-through that provides unity gain. For HT use I am using a Proceed AVP and I run the front two channels from the AVP i... | |
| Theta Gen 5a Bal Vs Mark Levinson 36S I owned the Theta Gen Va balanced for about five years and added a Proceed AVP to my two channel system for surround sound by running the front right and left output channels from the Proceed AVP into a bypass input on my two channel preamp. The D... | |
| Audio Reseach ref 1 tubes. Yes there is. I am using Sovtek 6922s made in the 1970s from Kevin at Upscale Audio WITHOUT the ARC damping rings. | |
| ARC LS 25 MK II vs. BAT VK30SE I have a Ref One and am using the 6H23s from Upscale with very good results. The were $25 per tube. The results are just as described earlier in this thread. | |
| Theta GenVa Upgrade I have not had the the 96k mod done to my Gen Va but it is my understanding that it upgrades the unit to 20 bit/96k and not 24 bit/96k. The upgrade allows for the decoding of 24/96 DVDs(not the new DVD-audio discs). It does not do any upsampling. ... | |
