Any "tiny" DVD players ???
No computer in the bedroom, Sugar. I think my girlfriend would walk out the door if i tried to put one in there. She is not happy with how much time i "waste" on MY version of the "one eyed monster". Her "one eyed monster" is the TV. I had forgott... 
Mix match 4/8 Ohm speakers on one amp?
This should not create a problem so long as:1) you can set the volume levels for the fronts independent of the center and rears via your processor.2) your amp is PLENTY sturdy enough to do the job that you want it to. In other words, the amp NEVER... 
Help to find an inexpencive active Xover
The Marchand design is quite flexible, reasonably priced and built pretty well. It also offers a "Q" adjustment, which controls overlap between the drivers at the point of crossover. As such, you can "fine tune" the system to a much greater extent... 
Shouldn't you always go nude?
Just as our skin protects our "innards", so does the body of a cartridge. I am primarily speaking about dust, dirt, airborne particles, moisture, etc... working their way into the motor structure. So long as the design and construction of the body... 
Does anyone know much about AGI preamps?
Without getting into more expensive TT's, the one that comes the most highly recommended for the cash seems to be the Well Tempered system. Since i don't have first hand experience with this piece, i'm simply repeating what i've been told by peopl... 
Anyone ever heard/try Maggies hooked up to Pass amp?
While i've not heard it, i would have suspected something to what Acuujim stated in terms of the lean bottom end. Maggies are typically "quick and clean" on the bottom end and so are Pass amps. As such, i think the combo would lack "weight" or "au... 
Does anyone know much about AGI preamps?
Jay, i also forgot to ask if you are taking advantage of the phono section in this preamp ??? If not, i would HIGHLY suggest investing in a GOOD yet basic TT and giving it a try. You might be AMAZED at how good vinyl sounds via a well set-up syste... 
Does anyone know much about AGI preamps?
Jay, i've seen Bruce's reviews before and emailed him quite a while ago. From what i can gather, his AGI is NOT highly modified. It simply has some common upgrades done to it. If i remember correctly, i think that he had all of the RCA's replaced ... 
What is the best DVD player? No price limit.....
I think that Camelot unit came out best in a couple of different surveys. Never saw / used one, so i'm just passing on what i've read / heard. Sean> 
Does anyone know much about AGI preamps?
Frank, I agree that it was a WAY overdesigned / underpriced unit in its' day. I've talked to David a few times in the last two years or so. I have his current phone / address and he's probably not too far from you. He currently designs and markets... 
Does anyone know much about AGI preamps?
What would you like to know ? While not an expert on the unit, I own a half dozen of these units in various forms. I also have quite a bit of the factory literature and have spoken to the designer / builder on several occasions. My Brother also ru... 
Flat spkr cables: Nordost Red Dawn or Alpha-Core Goertz AG2
The Goertz MI ( copper series ) tends to work better with SS gear whereas their AG ( silver series ) works better with tube gear. Never tried Nordost but i do like the Goertz stuff quite a bit. Just don't forget to use a Zobel network ( impedance ... 
Does anyone know of a site for Threshold information?
Try the link listed below. Jon Soderberg used to be a factory service tech for Threshold / Forte'. He does repairs, upgrades, mods, etc... on these pieces along with offering a brief background on some of the products and the company. If you try c... 
Thanks to Audiogon and Audio Asylum

Best used 5 channels amp. for both music and movies
Subdoofus ( gotta luv it), what do you mean "why is everyone so pseudo-price conscience" ??? Sean>
