Odyssey Lorelei vs Von Scheikert Vr4jr
Let us know what you think after listening to both. 
Muralmans' amps reviewed Ultra Audio.
I guess Whimby had no rebuttal as this was and still is his only post on the forum. I'm glad to hear Henry is ramping up the preamps. Hopefully I'll be ready to purchase/audition when he's ready.

The silence is deafening. 
REL Subs with H2O Amplifiers
Barrelchief,It was a month in between blowing the sub up and getting it fixed and hooked back up through the preamp. There was not enough of a difference that I felt like I lost something going the other route. My system has been boxed up for a mo... 
REL Subs with H2O Amplifiers
I had problems with my H20 and Storm III going directly to the amp in the "usual" fashion. I would highly recommend NOT even attempting to hook it up to the amp. I blew my REL up immediately after hooking up my new H20 and immediatly smelled fried... 
Do I need better center ch speaker-dialog unclear?
+1 for Drew's comments regarding SPL equalization. You may have to bump up the output level on the center channel as I'm assuming you adjust the volume like most of us based on all the loud sound effects coming out your larger mains. Even if you d... 
Best All time 5.1 Pre/Pro
Mr. Kennyt, I was browsing your previous threads and thought this amusing as it sounds eerily familiar. Thought you might enjoy it as well. Oh the good old single days :) Sooner or later we all fall. BEFORE:07-12-01: KennytOK, I'vve already got cl... 
preamp tube hiss from my SF Line 1
My problem turned out to be two seperate tubes were making noise. It took a while to troubleshoot, luckily I had a nice stash of extra tubes to mix and match while trying to isolate it. I'd just replace the problem tube unless they are inexpensive... 
Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
Kal, I'm still a bit confused. When you talk about the recording engineer deciding what goes to each individual channel, are you strictly talking about multi-channel recordings like DVD-A and SACD? I was thinking more along the lines of regular ol... 
Von scheikert VR4jr what are you using ?
I'm using a SF Line 1 tube pre and H20 S250 Sig. ICE amp. I've been content with the sound ever since I bought them over a year ago. I'm also constrained to a short distance from the back wall. I've decided to hold off on dropping a bunch of $$ in... 
Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
Cinematic_Systems: Could you clarify the following statement for me please? "There is no real decoding, except for system adjustment like distance your seated from the speakers." It's the decoding that is what I'm trying to grasp. Are you using de... 
Not wasting my time on new Digital
D_Edwards: My center channel is a hold over from my previous mains. It's a Vienna Acoustics Maestro or Theatro. I don't recall. It's a good sized center channel, but will be replaced at some point to match my mains. My LFE went out on my receiver ... 
Not wasting my time on new Digital
D Edwards,thanks for the details thats the type of info I was looking for. Like quite a few people on this forum, I have a combo 2 ch. / HT setup. If I could pare down the equipment to one set AND improve the music experience that would be great. ... 
Not wasting my time on new Digital
D, If you read my post and assumed that I was a disbeliever, than you misinterpreted me. I'm curious and you have piqued my interest. I'm intrigued by your statements and would like to hear more about your setup. How many speakers, what the variou... 
Not wasting my time on new Digital
I'd like to hear more from D_Edwards on the specifics of his setup and how we can learn to take advantage of what digital offers. His comments were refreshing, whether right or wrong. I can live with my cd's being crunched and massaged through the...
