Coax to Optical Converters Anygood?
Hi Ginov,Thank you for the lead on the Behringer SRC 2496. I looked into buying one, but most dealers in the states are sold out. The new shipment should arrive sometime in the next couple of months, so maybe then. I received my Dual Core on July ...

Abbingdon Music Research gold fuses ???
Audiofun hit the nail on the head about the AMR fuses. I put the AMR fuses in my amp and noticed a considerable improvement in sound quality and tonal texture. As "boutique" fuses go the AMR's are a steel at their price point. I think I paid in th... 
DACT stepped vs. TKD continuous attenuator?
I had them both in my Audio Note Kits M3 Pre amp. I felt the Dact was the better choice for sound quality. If you are still looking for a very good attenuator (bested the Dact IMHO) look at the Acoustic Dimension 41 stepped Attenuator. The price w...

I'm using a DSpeaker Antimode 8033s ($500.00) on my two subs and have the best bass I have ever heard. A lot has been written about the Antimode if you do a search you will find all the info you need. A good thing about the Antimode is that sub pl... 
Need Advise for open sounding monitors
Look into Shelby+Kroll monitors and the matching sub. I have had mine for about 10 months and am amazed at how full, deep, and wide the soundstage is. Imaging is spot on and not to sound cliche but the S/K's do deliver the "you are there" sound in...

DNM Stereo speaker cables-experiences?

Will you be upgrading the 2.1 that you have to a 4.1? or will you be selling the 2.1 and buying a whole new unit?

I'm using Shelby + Kroll Nano Monitors. They are designed to be used as sound board monitors and sound awesome in the nearfield. If you do a search and go to the web site scroll down the home page and use the menu at the bottom. I bought these to ... 
And, we keep on searching for speakers, ..
What Newbee said....+1He described it perfectly! The best I ever heard was at a close friends house with electronics that he custom built to fit his horn speakers. I listen to his system on a regular basis and have come pretty close in my own sys...
