| Is the Eichmann Bayonet Plug the best banana plug? They are easy to use for DIY projects since you can get by with crimping. Also, they have great "bite" in the speaker binding posts. | |
| Review: Von Schweikert Audio VR-5 HSE Speaker I have VS VR4 Gen III HSE loudspeakers and used a Bryston 14B SST with them for a while, and I know what you're talking about. Great synergy. At one point, I added a First Sound Presence Deluxe II preamp instead of the Bryston BP-25, and the chang... | |
| TV talk - Reliable TV - Tube, LCD, plasma... Brian, have you done any "web shopping" for the Sony? I haven't priced TVs in several years, but I bought my 32" Sony XBR seven years ago for around $1900, so I tend to think the price you found might be high...?Also, if you can wait a couple mont... | |
| TV talk - Reliable TV - Tube, LCD, plasma... I'd suggest a tube. CRT still has the best picture of the bunch, hands down. CRTs are an exellent value right now, and it will be a few years before flat screens...LCD, Plasma...shake all the bugs out and settle in price-wise. | |
| Recommendations discs for SACD/DVD-A trial Only if there's a sale on, Eldartford. | |
| VenHaus Pulsar™ interconnects George, thanks for the info about the various Pulsar iterations! Very valuable. I'd add that the Pulsars with Silver NextGen WBTs at $350/ 1 meter pair puts them in a price league with Wolff/Huffman Empress, Ridge Street MSE II, and many excellent... | |

| Recommendations discs for SACD/DVD-A trial Thanks Eldartford for your suggestions. I have a separate mid-fi HT set-up in another room. The reference two channel will remain as such. Perhaps my question should be revised. Are the benefits of DVD-A appreciable in two channel, or is DVD-A onl... | |
| What are your favorite monitors? What do you all think of the Tyler House Demo Program? This seems like a terrific idea to me, and one of those "Why didn't I think of that" ideas. | |
| Recommendations discs for SACD/DVD-A trial The link Albert provided has peaked my interest in DVD-A discs. My Denon 2900 is in a two-channel-only system. Would anyone care to recommend a DVD-A title or two that would be worth checking out? I listen to primarily rock and classical with a sm... | |
| Exemplar Denon 2900. WOW Need owner advice. TBG, send me your Audiotop to try. I'll pay for shipping. Then, we'll know. | |
| Spades/Bananas/bare wire? Bare wire. | |
| sistrum vs neuance Ken Lyon claims upturned points under the Neuance shelf can work well, but he cautions against using points under the component. | |
| Exemplar Denon 2900. WOW Need owner advice. Wow! Cleaned all the contacts today...tube pins, IC terminations, speaker terminations with CAIG DeOxit and then used CAIG ProGold. It's like new unobtanium interconnects were put in the system. Just the best tweak ever imaginable, and all for les... |
