| need opinions on getting out of HT into 2 channel If you still have a use for HT, I would keep the receiver. I downgraded my HT and upgraded my stereo about 10 months ago. I'm happy, and I haven't looked back. I sold my Proceed pre/pro and Classe multi-channel amps, bought a Denon AVR-1802 receiv... | |
| How many things do you have plugged in? 14 if you're counting record cleaning machine and power conditioners. That is for 2 channel and HT. | |
| MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em I don't think it's sour grapes or anything, it's just sales. I own some Classe equipment, and when I visit a store that doesn't carry the Classe line, they are sure to tell me what junk it is. MIT was one of the first underground cables (not Monst... | |
| money getting tight? It appears that your idea of 'steal' prices, and the potential buyer's idea of 'steal' prices, are not the same. The prices I saw are not what I would call a steal, in fact, they seem a little high to me. Not that I'm interested in any of those it... | |
| What do you currently own that was bought on 'Gon? Actually, at this time, I am surprised that the list is so short. It's been longer, but active now is only:Classe CP-60 w/ phonoVienna Acoustic BeethovensTara Labs AD/6Tara Labs Decade (XLR) 2 pairThat's it, for now. | |
| What's your favorite speaker finish? The Tiger's eye finish on the B&W Signature 800 is my favorite to look at. Second is the Santos Rosewood finish on my Vienna Acoustic Beethoven's. | |
| Why Put Up With "Wife Approval Factor"? Congrats my friend Tok20000, if you live in the USA, you have found the needle in the haystack. Cwlondon, they don't have to be rich to henpeck, my wife makes less than $30K a year, and she can peck with the best of 'em. Girls will be girls, if yo... | |
| Does your BAT? You don't have any ties to a cable line, do you? Meaning, you don't have a vcr/tv/Tivo or any component that may touch an incoming cable line connected to the BAT, do you? If so, unplug the inputs into the back of the BAT. Tube preamps are notoriu... | |
| What component have you changed out the most? Actually I've stopped changing digital gear as well, not because my Classe CDP-1 is THE ONE though. It's very nice for digital playback, but I've realized that analogue is THE ONE. Neither my Classe or my Sony SACD sound as good as my inexpensive ... | |
| Why Put Up With "Wife Approval Factor"? Tok2000, in what country or state are these women that you speak of? These women that make more than they spend. I would agree that these women would not cost money, but I've never met any of them. I would like to though. Please tell me where they... | |
| What component have you changed out the most? If cables are ruled out as a component, then my most changed component is the digital source as well. Amplifier would be my second choice, but not a close secondJohn | |
| Why Put Up With "Wife Approval Factor"? Be careful Sean, 6+ years is sneaking up on common law marraige. Maybe time for a new one.John | |
| Why Put Up With "Wife Approval Factor"? My wife is always complaining that I don't listen to her. She's right. She always complains about everything I buy. "It's ugly, that's hideous...". I always offer to go upline, buy something else I may have wanted but didn't have the money for. I ... | |
| What's the funniest or dumbest thing you did? I'd been experimenting with homemade p/c's made by a friend of mine who swears by them. I put one on my Classe CDP-1, it worked well at first, then I went on a 2 week vacation. When I returned, the cd player kept shutting off. I would turn it on, ... | |
