Las Vegas
You would think in a city built on excess, there would be more high end shop's in Vegas. I've lived here for 13 yrs and am disappointed with what we have here. Premier and Abbott's, if there still around are probably the closest to high end stuff ... 
What were your own blind cable test results?
Now you did it! I barley survived my wife's displeasure with cable testing the last time, now you bring up tape loops and objective methods of testing. This will mean a couple of hours of listening to more music and enjoying a cocktail or two, or ... 
What were your own blind cable test results?
Well my test was with several interconnects instead of speaker cables. My gear was a DBX BX3 power amp,CX3 pre-amp and two DX-5 CD players. The pre was connected to the amp with Straightwire "Choir". The speaker cable was Zu Cable "Wax". The test ... 
DVR's & TV guide
Bob, Your the man, I also have the same Sony model. Could you please give a little detail how the hook up goes? I'm currently running connection "A" from the owner's manual. (I think it's A, my manuals at home, I'm on my laptop)Cable comes from th... 
Flat speaker cable
Thanks for all the quick reply's. They have all started me in the right direction. So far I've looked at Wireworld Horizon, Nordost 2Flat, and Flatwire made by Dewire, since these are the onces I've been able to find in bulk. I'll probably need ab... 
Which Reciver?
I would go OutLaw first because they are seperates, Arcam second, and Nad third. I own a Denon 3805 which I'm very pleased with, if I had to do it all over again I would have started with seperated. Budget at the time and space are the only reason... 
Best Video? Denon 2910, Onkyo SP1000, Sony DVP999
I've had my 2910 for 3 months now and it's performed flawlessly on every format I've given it. Even certain dvd's that people have had problems playing in their 2910, I haven't had problems with. I was able to side by side the denon & Onkyo us... 
Las Vegas
Baxel is correct, there are two stores there on charleston. Audio Experts is owned by Bobby, while Vincent stereo is owned by vincent.They split up a while ago and just split the store in half. Bobby always has some high end tube gear in his store... 
Bi-wire Cable Choices?...
Just out of curiosity, Is the canare star quad rated for inwall use? 
Las Vegas
Hello Gabbea007, Welcome to the Las vegas Audiogon chapeter.:) As you can see we don't post here much, but it's always good to hear from from some one. An audiophile society here in Vegas? I can't even find a really high end audio shop here, :( No... 
Las Vegas
Hi everyone, just checking to see how everyone's doing and to see if anyone's done any upgrades. Over the next couple of month's I'll be upgrading the TV to a Samsung DLP. Not sure what size yet. Speakers will be either the Vandy 2ce sig's or VSA ... 
Two preamps in your system
I have a dbx BX-3 power amp (early 80's) that has a hook-up diagram for a "dual 2 channel system" Two pre-amps, up to eight speakers. I've never done it, but a friend who did, used it basically as you would a modern day second zone. One pre-amp co... 
When your wife...
I'm not a 100% sure but, I don't think any receiver pre 90's, maybe later had hook-ups for DVD-A. I could be wrong. The Yamaha receiver's not that bad. My brother in-law bought one and has been pretty happy with it. You might be able to do better ... 
Las Vegas
Hey everybody, Are there any Vandersteen dealers in Vagas? I thought there was one once, but when I checked the Vandy site there was nothing for NV. :( If not has any one bought them over the internet from an e-tailer?, I'm not really looking at b... 
Decent receiver w/an alarm function?
I use a Bose wave radio with good results. Actually it's not the radio, but the music I wake up to. One of the young guy's at my work burned me a collection of his favorite speed metal song's ( if you can call it that) for me, and thats what I wak...
