Smoke and DVD
I've taken the top off of the Denon and cant't seem to find a way to get at the optic's of the system. Is it that ha5d to get at or am I looking in the wrong place? Any help in accessing the optics of the Denon and/or the Sony would be greatly app... 
Smoke and DVD
I wasn't able to magnatize ANY of my CD's or DVD's. Do you think I might be buying inferior quality discs? I have access to some very powerful magnets at work, but they just couldn't do the job. Is there a "special" magnet I need to look into? I a... 
Speaker Wire for a non-anal listener
AC power runs from the generating plant through miles of standard High tension" lines to a substation. Once there it is stepped down to usable voltage for the home. It then runs through "cheap" romex cable where it is magically transformed into hi... 
Max signal strength to preamps?
I like the CJ. I can just about guarranty that if I had the same pre/proc as you and asked another audio question, someone would tell me to "dump the pre/proc and get a 2 channel pre". Being new to this hobby can be pretty difficult at times, espe... 
Did you try to buy the damaged Beethovens?
Has anybody tried to email the seller on eBay for some info on them. Looks like same speakers but different seller (or at least seller I.D.) I would love to get a pair of Beethovens but now I'm a bit leary of these with all of the jumping around o... 
Did you try to buy the damaged Beethovens?
My experience exactly....only they would have been my mains.I never did get a response to my emails. 
Help My
I emailed the seller but the email has been delayed for some reason. I notice that the seller has some other CJ equipment for sale here and on eBay and offers the same 90 day warranty on these other units. After taking the CJ out of my system and ... 
My pre-amp overloads my amp
I'm using the Citation to bi-amp my speakers, not bridging it. I've got "Y" cord interconnects coming from the preamp outputs in order to feed all four channels on the Citation. If it was a problem with the interconnects or some other connection t... 
Help My
I don't think it's the interconnects as I use the same ones with my other pre-amps and there is no problem. When you talk about DC on the preamp output, is this a normal condition or a sign that something is wrong with the unit. If the unit is def... 
Help My
Well I don't see any swithes or adjustments of any kind, but other than that I don't know what a DC offset is. 
Best Pre-amp under 2k-USED
Lately I've been leaning towards tube pre's. Looking for something with a full feature remote and some sort of HT pass-through or integration possibility. I would also like to run a powered sub.Any thoughts on Audio Research LS-16 vrs Sonic Fronti... 
Best Pre-amp under 2k-USED
Auditioning gear is unfortunatly not an option for me so I'm trying to put togeather a system based on info gathered at audio sites(mainly this one) and reviews. Also, being a novice, I'm wondering if I have a sophisticated enough "ear" to tell th... 
Advise on used 1k to 1.5k pre-amp
Anybody have an opinion on the Krell KRC-3. I've heard that it sounds very smooth and is quite different from other Krell products. Never having heard anything from Krell I don't know if this is good or bad. 
Advise on used 1k to 1.5k pre-amp
I have been considering the Adcom GFP-750 due to it's high praises, low cost and Stereophile "Class A" rating. I do however have some concerns.1) Is this unit really as good as some make it out to be...The reviewer at Stereophile said he couldn't ... 
What's wrong with tailoring the sound?
I have always thought that the "accuracy" I had heard mentioned in the audio context, refered to the accuracy of not just a musical reproduction, but of a re-enactment of the performance. I honestly thought that that is what high end audio was all...
