| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? As a former owner of VK1000 mono's and many other Pass 600 sized monster blocks I for one don't miss having to place amps of that size any more. 95dB and above speakers driven by an 8 watt 300B SET is as good as it gets for truly refined sound. Bu... | |
| Best Stevie Wonder Album? A 3rd for Innervisions. "Golden Lady" has one of the hottest intro's to any R/B song ever written. Very sly intro transforming from a rubato ballad to a dance rhythm. Nicely done album all around and easily competes with EWF's "the way of the worl... | |
| What Product Did You Overspend On? Maybe I'm just EZ to plz but I can't ever recall buying any product I didn't like because each UPS or FedEx arrival rekindles the anticipation of a 'lil boy at Xmas time. | |
| best class a amp for a grand? For $1k and under amps I've owned the Aleph 3, Coda 10.5, Forte 4a, Aleph5. Hands down the Forte 4a was heads above the rest in musicality, operation. It was a giant killer then and it's still the best amp available anywhere for under $1500 IMHO. ... | |
| Sunfire Ultimate receiver or Anthem Avm 30 Well I wouldn't be so hasty to call it a no brainer, for I've owned several of the Sunfire Ultimate's and the truth is most aren't aware the Ultimate delivers a superb performance that's equal to listening to separates. I defy anyone to distinguis... | |
| Recommendations for a used Receiver I heartily recommend the Pioneer Elite VSX-32. $800 retail and can be had for $525 delivered. 110watts, 7.1, 6hdmi. Great performance at a very modest price. Plug 'n play iPod integration. Too many options to mention. This replaces a $5k former HT... | |
| Separates or Receiver to modernize home theater? Heaven, you're in good company. To assume is simple human nature. I'm like most folks on these forums sharing their own experience with chosen gear. Personally I don't make recommendations. I only share what my experience has been. Period. I'm not... | |
| Separates or Receiver to modernize home theater? Hifihvn, you've a habit of derailing threads w/ your diatribe. But since you've dug up a dead reference I made to Pioneer, I was specifically commenting on Pioneer I'd previously heard. I didn't bash Pioneer or anyone's gear. I'm too polite to deg... | |
| Separates or Receiver to modernize home theater? I was in your position with two former 7 year old equipment components used for HT. I finally decided to blow them out in order to upgrade to HDMI integration in addition to Dolby True HD and DTS Master Audio. I chose to invest a modest amount int... | |
| What to do in my situation... He said he has "NO" line outs, therefore what's he connecting a Y adaptor to? Ahendler obviously misread your post. | |
| Is Kind of Blue the Best Jazz Album Ever Well any thread with the phrase KOB in the title is worth a looksee! ;^) | |
| BAT REX power consumption Cut to the chase. Call the designer builder. Victor will answer any question you have. No one here built the pre. Take your questions to the source. Simple right. | |
| Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect? Frogman, brave post. I applaud you for going there.It's no secret that blacks excel at most anything rhythmically. That's obvious on the dance floor, the basketball court, or when it comes to creating jazz.Wynton Marsalis holds a minority position... | |
| "What's Your Best Price?" Lowballer's typically use that phrase as a water tester. "obo" encourages them and they smell blood in the water. As a result I rarely even use "obo" any longer. 13 years ago AG once had a certain decorum and dignity among buyers and sellers. That... | |
| Component racks If you're looking to save cash VTI is about as inexpensive as it gets. They're kind of a design spin on the Lovan stands, which allow one to pyramid in various tier sizes. They're regularly advertised here by a seller.Lovan stands are great, heavy... |
