| Plasma speakers anyone with info? While i've never heard a Plasma tweeter, i've been told by others that i trust that there are NO other options once you've experienced them first-hand. Their speed is unmatched by any type of driver based on a physical material. In specific, the H... | |
| 2 channel home theatre? Just going to larger full range speakers with REAL amplification makes for a WORLD of a difference. You will not regret taking this simple step forward. Sean> | |
| ....expanding from car audio into home...need help If you want something "decent" without going bonkers on price, i would look into either a Denon or Yamaha DTS capable receiver. As to what features, how much power, etc... that you want, that will dictate the price that you end up having to pay. I... | |
| Has anyone else ever reached an audio impasse? One more thing: Your "better" preamp might simply present a load that most digital components feel "comfortable" with. As such, they can all perform at peak or near peak performance, making the differences less noticeable. Some would say that this... | |
| Has anyone else ever reached an audio impasse? Mike aka Awdeeofyle brings up some interesting points along with all of the others. To further extend Mike's comments, i will say that there is a LOT more to building a "killer" system than just having "killer components" regardless of price. I ( ... | |
| Lowering the Brad, some components tie chassis ground and board ground together and others don't. I have always thought that they should be seperate and isolated, as this provides some type of shielding to the circuitry courtesy of the metal case. Obviously, t... | |
| would it be a huge mistake? Thanks for posting the info that you did RCampbell. It is info like this derived from first hand experience that makes these sites SO worthwhile. This is not to say that the info that others with first hand experience posted is less important, but... | |
| Large room making me apprehensive.... You can get "good sound" in just about any room if you match components with a LOT of elbow grease and well thought out room treatments. It looks like you have your work cut out for you in either place that you attempt to build a system though. Ke... | |
| Tweaks just mental? I can typically hear a noticeable improvement at sometime around 1 AM to 2 AM every night ( or is it morning ??? ). Since i live on a relatively quiet block next to a field, i don't think it is the ambient reduction in noise level that i'm noticin... | |
| Has anyone else ever reached an audio impasse? This is part of the reason why you see some folks preaching "the preamp is most important". Since ALL source signals must pass through it, it is the gatekeeper to system resolution and sound. Whether or not it is the source of the bottleneck in th... | |
| What's wrong with tailoring the sound? There are several factors involved here. As Swampwalker mentions, tone controls affect a wide range of frequencies. Not only that, they cause phase shifts, etc... If someone is willing deal with that, i have no problems with it. That is why most o... | |
| How much money do you want to waste? What something is worth is set by market value and what people are willing to pay. In other words, even though someone might think that a mint condition 1967 Shelby Daytona Coupe with full documentation is worth $5,000, there are collectors that w... | |
| Pre-amp for sunfire signature 2 channel amp It is kind of funny that Hotrod mentions the TG 2 for use in a 2 channel system. I just spoke to a gentleman was doing the exact thing that Hotrod mentions. As it turns out, he had the TG 2 driving a standard Sunfire ( 300 / 600 ) hitting some ML'... | |
| Interconect recommendation Chander, when you get the Opal's installed in your system, drop me a line. We can make arrangements so that you can send me your PBJ's for "burning". Once they are done, i'll send them back and you can throw them back into the system. I would be c... | |
| Directionality While i am not an expert on anything, i play one in my mind : )Having gotten that out of the way, some cables use what is called a "telescoping ground" scheme. This means that you have the normal + & - wire to complete the circuit but you also... |
