powervar power conditioners
I too have been studying and reading about power conditioners since I feel that could be my next upgrade. Yes the information out there can be confusing and conflicting. I'm looking at the Rotel RLC-1040 which sells for $500.00. That is THE most I... 
Speakers connection
All I could find are speaker selectors made by Parasound and Niles Audio for one amp and multiple speakers. Maybe if you combined a few of these together it may work. Just a guess. Maybe if you visited a high end audio store and ask where they buy... 
Best affordable SACD player that does superb CD's
Marantz SA8001 SACD Player for $899.00 new. Excellent reviews. 
New Beatles HELP on DVD
I know what you mean exactly. When are they going to wake up and smell the coffee? I just purchased a remaster of a Jackson Browne CD (Late for the Sky) from the 1970's and what a difference. Like night and day !! Beatles CD's sell all of the time... 
Speaker recomendations plz?
I hear nothing but great reviews and feedback on the new B&W 685 bookshelf speakers. They sell for around $650.00/pr I believe. They're very much alive. I've heard them myself. They incorporate technologies taken from the far more expensive 80... 
Beatles covers: better than originals?
There's a group out there called "1964 The Tribute". Perhaps some of you may have heard of them. They've been doing this since the early 1980's I believe. I've seen them live twice in the past few years. They have are jaw dropping fantastic. They ... 
Derek Trucks
Derek is I believe the nephew of Butch Trucks from the Allman Bros Band and is married to Susan Tedeschi. So there's music in the blood and family. I haven't purchased any CD's yet by him but I have most of Susan T's CD's. He plays on some of her ... 
Bananna plugs
Many thanks. Makes sense. 
under $500 used which a/v receiver or processor
Good question. First IMO, you're not going to get much in the way of performance, power, and sound fidelity for a brand new a-v receiver under $500.00. That's just the way it is. You get what you pay for as the old saying goes. Second, NAD and Rot... 
How do I spend $5000? A CD player or DAC for my De
Krell Evolution CD players. 
Blues with piano and horn section
Yes, Marcia Ball for sure. We just saw her live in Feb and she and her band were "fantabulous". Her sax player is jaw dropping great. She sits at her keyboard, her long legs crossed in a long gown, and just plays and wails away. I died and went to... 
Possible alternatives. Rotel RCD 991.
The Marantz SA8001 CD player (SACD capable) has rec'd rave reviews. Presently its list price is $899.00 down $100.00 recently. Check out the reviews at audioreview.com and also at the Marantz website, John Atkinson-Stereophile- from 9/07. I think ... 
I need help upgrading my system
Sorry but I'm just not familiar with the Klipsch sound nor could I find any data on the La Scala's at the Klipsch website. I would say that large floor standers for a room 10' x 10' x 8' high could be overpowering. I good pair of bookshelf speaker... 
I need help upgrading my system
Sorry forgot to mention that you would have to connect your PC output to an input on your new receiver in order to play your music files. I'm not sure how this is done but perhaps someone else on the forum can explain this. 
Room size for large speakers?
In a thread I had initiated back in June '06, I had posed a similar question. One informed individual advised that in THX terms, a large room would be anything over 4500 ft3 in size and any room under 3500 ft3 would be considered small. So I guess...
