| Which HT reveiver to replace Nak av-10? Thanks for all the replies. I'm much more concerned with timbral accuracy and warmth than raw power or a ton of connectivity options. My setup is pretty simple and likely to remain that way- just a DVD as source and a single video monitor.I listen... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? 1. '97 Chevy Camaro Z28 w/ 6spd manual.2. Some sort of old beater pickup w/ 4 wheel drive (moving to Vermont shortly and will need a winter vehicle :).3. Tough choice- guess I'll have to go with a Calloway Sledgehammer Corvette. Second choice woul... | |
| Personal speaker evolution This is a little off-topic, but with all of the *ahem* comments on Bose, I though it might give everyone a chuckle. This week I had a real estate agent over to look at my townhouse in order to put it on the market; she sees my spare pair of Audios... | |

| Hum a problem with Planar 25/ Grado cartridge? FWIW, I'm currently running a P25 with a Dynavector 17d2 MkII cart and have had no problems with hum (very low output mc). | |
| Question for Paradigm Owners, what speaker cable?? I've had good results with both Audioquest Crystal II and Aplha Core Goertz MI2. I'd biwire them if you can- it seems to improve the sound noticably. I am using a pair of Esprit bipolars as the mains in my HT with the reference CC and love the sou... | |
| Best speaker for medium to low power tube amps?? You might want to consider Revel Performa F30s; I am running them in a 12.5x19.5x8 room with a Jolida SJ502a which puts out ~60Watts/ch (I am using Ei KT90 power tubes; I'm not sure if that increases the power at all, but the amp is rated to deliv... | |
| Home theater system only plays Pro logic, no digital or DTS CAUTION- *DON'T* select DTS on the disc unless your receiver can decode DTS. From what I hear that can be a very loud and unpleasant experience (for both you and your speakers! :); evidently it comes through as *extremely* loud noise.Glen makes a ... | |
| Anybody dealt with HigherFi.com? He sounds like a pretty good guy to do business with- thanks for all the info! I look forward to hearing your results Mateored :). | |
| Revel F30, Dyn 1.8/3.0, V.A. Beethoven? Thanks everyone for all of the input- I think more auditioning is definitely in order; you've all given me some excellent food for thought. | |
| Revel F30, Dyn 1.8/3.0, V.A. Beethoven? Thanks for the excellent input Kirk. I do have one further question inspired by your post- could you give me some idea of the tradeoffs (in terms of sonic quality) in x-over choice? I understand from a frequency response perspective that the highe... | |
| Anybody dealt with HigherFi.com? I think they actually use the name Moon Audio on the site (at least I am pretty sure I saw it). | |
| Revel F30, Dyn 1.8/3.0, V.A. Beethoven? Whoa, just re-read my post and I think I should clarify the 'hassles' that I was talking about- mostly concerns about shipping damage and having a dealer or very experienced AGon'er to aid with any problems/damage during shipping (I have had the u... | |
| Best Log in name?? I think I'd have to say Cornfedboy- A fellow Coloradan if I am not mistaken (though from Iowa originaly? Of course, Ilive in Massachusetts now... :). Garfish and Tubegroover are also quite creative. | |
| For You: THE most imprortant element... Actually, I think your's is the first comment I've received on my A'Gon alias Paulwp :). I thought it doubly appropriate given the forum topic here and the fact that I tend to lurk more than post (though I am *not* the phantom -2, -2 lurker-rater ... |
