SACDmods.com comments re mods on denon 2910
I have used SACDmods.com and am pleased with their work. I had a Sony DVP-NC555ES modded, and ended up a satisfied customer. even my brother, who higher end stuff than me (not true high end like Levinson, and ATC. but More in the line of Roksan an... 
Audioart cables....... What do you guys think??
That is great to hear Kehut. I am interested in trying the interconnects myself, as I feel that its what my system needs at present. I just placed the order for some IC-1 interconnects and SC-5 speaker cables, so I will see for myself when the tim... 
Good Advice
I think most of you have good points, but this statement I dont agree with;'i think itms is true--it's the music stupid.a two part study in stereophile showed that sound quality was not a guarantee of satisfaction.you can get just as much satisfac... 
The DACs on my reciever good enough??
Thanks Elevick,I understand totally what you are saying about the remotes. I wish that I had a common cable box, but the cable company here has this stupid noname brand box, something like Dalvi, that doesnt even have a stereo output, so you know ... 
The DACs on my reciever good enough??
Hi Elevick,I agree with you as to not expect too much oput of the dac in the Marantz, but I have two caveats to your suggestions;1: I can't borrow such a high end player because noone around me but me has one and its on a different island(I live i... 
decent universal player on beer budget??
What kind of beer? Preferably the one the guys buy for you... so pretty much free ;-))I think I have decided to go iwth just a dvd player and forget the multichannel audio. Its impossible to find where I am and I dont see myself ordering much of t... 
decent universal player on beer budget??
Thanks guys for the repliesSo I guess the pioneer is out of the question then?? I have good things about this pioneer range dating back to the 563, 578 and so i just assumed that this would also fit that bill. Is it that they only sound good modde... 
Is This Sub Powerful Enough For This Room?
My exclamation was not meant in a bad way mind you, its just that where I live, that many twelves can work for an out door setup/small show no probs. So to see this in a home for me is mind boggling. Also the bass I get from the two (one each) 8" ... 
Is This Sub Powerful Enough For This Room?
You need more than 8 12" speakers for bass?!?!? My goodness. I believe your front speakers can sustain a club easily. To add bass to this may be a humongous task in itself.But good luck. I have never experienced the bass of a setup in a home envir... 
Looking for budget reciever for second system.
Hey Rar1,I set a limit of US$300 for the price before duties and shipping. Locally, a US$300 unit would prbably sell for EC$2000 - $3000, so it is still cheaper for me to import. Also, the local stores will bring in the cheapest recievers of the S...

Looking for budget reciever for second system.
thanks for the replies guys.The Sony sale looks like it may have fallen through so thats out of the question.Thanks for the recs for the Onkyo. It was second on the list for the new/refurb ones behind the Teac. I still have a lot to consider. I wi... 
Paradigm X30 crossover problem??
Thanks for the response. Yes it will be for the Missions. I would have preferred the 80Hz mark so to use less output from the sub and probably slightly better integration, but you have a good point. The cut off points are sharp enough though. I ex... 
Review: NHT ST4 full range towers
I have replaced the CD player with an SACDmods.com modded DVP-NC555ES. The sound has improved, but I havent done a full comparison of this unit and my previous setup as yet. The sound is quite close, but I do realise that there are differences ind...
