| Which warm sounding cd player for under $400? Highend,Do as I say, not as I do (as my stepfather used to say)! I've spent the last couple of years trying to extract my modded CD player from Stan Warren, who seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth. That was to have been my replace... | |
| Which warm sounding cd player for under $400? I also liked the Music Hall the best of those mentioned here. Warm and musical. New it's $500 I think. I've listened to most of these, but unfortunately none in the same system. The Music Hall was paired with a Red Rose system, the others with les... | |
| Reverse Speaker Selector You don't have pre-outs on the HT receiver, eh? russound.com or nilesaudio.com (I forget which) has a small device that takes speaker output and turns it into line level input -- for exactly that situation. I have never used this device, so I can'... | |
| Need advise to help make quality bal cables I recently made balanced cables using Canare "star-quad" cable with Neutrik connectors. This is inexpensive cable (about $.15/foot) with a good reputation.I ordered from Markertek (cables and connectors both). I have ordered several times from the... | |
| Reverse Speaker Selector Check this out:http://www.nilesaudio.com/products/source_switching.htmlThe DPS-1 is rated for 350WPC.Here's another idea:Setup your DQ-10s attached directly to your new and better amp/pre-amp combo (no speaker selector or switch). Then setup your ... | |
| Whole house volume controls? Jimmy,I'd suggest a call to Niles tech support. I got right through when I called, and they were very helpful.Russound offers the choice of either screw-down or "snap connect" -- you order a different SKU if you want the snap connect.- Eric | |
| Whole house volume controls? Thanks for the advice guys! Based on this info, I'm looking at impedance-matching volume controls from Niles Audio, Russound, and Sylvania. I like Niles and Sylvania because they have higher power-handling capability -- 100w RMS, 200W peak. Russou... | |
| Whole house volume controls? Interesting. I have Cat5 and a single 16-ga. speaker wire running to each room, so I could choose either. Are these little amps for each room actually decent quality? Can they drive bookshelf (as opposed to in-wall) speakers well?I have an amp I c... | |
| best long connection? No response. This usually means I've been too wordy! The question boils down to: is it better to do a long interconnect between pre-amp and amp, or longer speaker cables?In general, it seems the long interconnect is recommended here, but I wanted ... | |
| Cry me a river Great thread!On Aretha's gospel album (the one after she was famous), the first song or two are by a very good choir. Before Aretha comes out. They sound good. Then Aretha comes out, and just blows me away with her range and power. I cried the fir... | |
| Does your favorite band suck? Scientific proof I love this. It really appeals to the geek in me, and maybe even makes us think about *why* we like our favorite music.Of course, there's no shame in liking bands that don't score high. It just helps us realize that our favorite music may not be t... | |
| Eazy 101 giveaway tabletop radio circa 1986 Sorry, no info, but you may want to look at the resurrected KLH-1 mono table radio that sells for $100. Good selectivity in high-interference areas. | |
| Another AudiogoNer in the NY Times Hi guys,You might want to register the variations on your domain names, so you can redirect people to the right place no matter how they misspell your name! At $10/year/spelling, it's pretty cheap (www.godaddy.com).- Eric | |
| Have you owned Sound Labs Electrostatics? Albert and Duke,How do you think the SoundLabs would sound with a pair of bridged Classe CA-201 amps? I believe they bridge to 350 or so watts apiece.Have you heard these driven by any Classe gear? How did that compare to your higher-end amps?I re... | |
| New system coming together Stands/Sub for 805s? A normal discount in this area runs about 10%. You can do better than that on demos or last year's models. Don't beat the dealer unmercifully, ask respectfully.Particuarly since you are buying a complete system, this is quite reasonable. Once they... |
