My A/V Solo is going to end up front with the video gear (DVD, VCR, Proton 600T Preamp/Video Tuner, 27" Sony WEGA). I definitely plan to plug it into something to take care of primary filtration. Whether it turns out to be a Richard Gray, a balanc... 
Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
My 2-channel HT is starting to sound *really* good. The Swans have finally broken in and dynamics have increased tremendously...I've had a couple people listen to movies on my JVC XV-45 DVD player and they don't feel any need for surround speakers...

Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
"Certainly not audiophile class."What are you talking about, man? Proper component selection and matching is what makes a system "audiophile class". If you know what you're doing, get your electricity properly filtered and your speakers and room a...

Is their any way to keep voltage steady?
Sean, I am going to forward you an e-mail about a pretty beefy transformer...I would like you to look into it. I have already forwarded the e-mail to Dejan Veselinovic of Yugoslavia and Hans-Martin of Germany and am awaiting their feedback. We hav...
