| B&K AVR307 used or other new AVR? Well, I just received an AVR307 in the mail; an impressive looking thing. I won't get a chance to test all it's functions and features for quite some time since my HT won't go up until the room is finished. So I welcome any suggestions as to what ... | |
| 2/3 of the way there. HT crash course help wanted Thanks for the great responses; very helpful. Any thoughts on the B&K 307. At today's used prices ($500 or so) it seems like an extraordinary value. I have owned B&K two channel gear and can't believe that this receiver would not beat the ... | |
| VPI 300 RPM vs 600 RPM Better? Be careful about putting the motor pod on a compliant material such as sorbothane. As with most things in audio there is always a compromise involved; pluses/minuses. For best sound, the motor should be as mechanically grounded as possible; IOW, n... | |
| need a new processor Hi Kal, sorry to be so forward (wasn't able to contact you privately, and apologies to Goulsonc), but if you have a couple of minutes, I would really appreciate your thoughts on the subject of this (mine) thread:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/f... | |
| First home theater. HELP Aha! In-line attenuators. Brilliant! These, in conduction with I just discovered (remembered?) about the Meitner should do the trick. From the owner's manual:****Input Gain Adjustment- There are three trim pots to adjust the gain of phono, tuner a... | |
| First home theater. HELP Minkwelder, out of curiosity, what receiver did you use, and how do you like it? | |
| First home theater. HELP Thank you Al for the great info and resources, and thank you Minkwelder for your contribution. Al, you initially interpreted my description of the Meitner's volume control correctly. The PA6 was available with either a wired remote (which I suspec... | |
| First home theater. HELP Minkwelder, just read your post, thanks for confirming what I had in mind. | |
| First home theater. HELP Thank you for chiming in, Al. I confess to being confused myself as to how connecting the line level front L/R outputs of the receiver to the extra output of the Meitner preamp would work; seems improbable. Nonetheless, the idea seems to be that t... | |
| First home theater. HELP Actually, I just corresponded with John Wright, and he tells me that, as Islandmandan suggested, I could use the extra set of outputs on the PA6i as a passthrough as long as the preamp is turned on and is not playing any other source. Curious, as ... | |
| First home theater. HELP Thanks for the suggestions guys. OK, let me see if I am understanding this. I could use a HT receiver to do the processing and power the center and rears? So, the receiver would have the capability of sending a line level, processed signal to the ... | |
| When Bi-amping is there change in sensitivity Thank you for clarifying. It all makes sense. | |
| When Bi-amping is there change in sensitivity Issues about wether it's actually beneficial or not aside, I am intrigued by a couple of the technical matters discussed so far. Great info from Al (as always) and Drew, BTW. Is it not true that of great importance is each amp's input sensitivity?... | |
| what are your favorite movie soundtracks. "The Pawnbroker", great Quincy Jones jazz score."On The Waterfront", Leonard Bernstein score. What else need be said? | |
| Dynaco MK III Monobloc That's right; thanks. That's how my cousin used them; wired in triode. He drove a pair of Quad 57'S. I still remember that beautiful midrange. |
