Just recieved my ASL Waves, they are amazing
Hey Petey,Sounds like a bit of system synergy going on at the Whitley house. I used the only pre-amp I had in the house at the time and that was the front end section of an Arcam Alpha 10 integrated. Could be that the Arcam was not a good match. B... 
Just recieved my ASL Waves, they are amazing
Hey Pete,Glad you like them. What speakers did you get after selling the EFE's(too bad, I should have bought those)? I bought a pair of the Wave's very shortly after they were introduced and I was disappointed in them. Even though I had the easy t...

GRASS ANYONE?
Well, technically not bluegrass, but very interesting stuff. Blueground Undergrass is a really cool band. They are actually kinda like an electric bluegrass jam band. They are interesting as they have a following like a small band of Deadheads. Pe... 
McCormack/Plinius/Krell with B&W N803
The Plinius's sound great. I currently have an 8200 integrated and it is really a great piece. There are often great deals on used Plinius's at this site. Can't imagine anything much better for the $1600-$1700 I've seen them go for lately. This am... 
Pioneer 440 or 444 DVD
I bought a Pioneer DV-440 and found it to be a poor performer. I wanted to like it because of its low price and slim design. However, I found the video quality the worst of the 5 DVD players I've owned and sonically, it wasn't much better. I promp... 
Songs & Artists NEVER HEARD on the RADIO?
Well, I listen almost exclusively to "Listener Supported" radio stations. Some are college stations, some not. I hear a lot of great music. I've heard ALL of the artist you mentioned on WNKU (Northern Kentucky University). We have 3 good public ra... 
Triangle speaker- comments
I have owned the Triangle Titus xs ($495 list) and it was an excellent speaker. It was incredible at the $400 I paid. It can be bright with the wrong associated equipment, but with the right stuff it is very good. Triangle sells several speakers i... 
2ch Preamp w / processor loop/ surround processor
I bought a cheap used Denon AVR-3300 to use via the processor loop of a long line of integrated amps (Anthem Int.2, Arcam Alpha 9&10, Plinius 8200). I use it for digital processing, bass management and to power the center and rear surrounds. I... 
Help with budget DVD/CD player
I've owned the following: Sony DVP-S7700, RCA 5223P, Technics DVD-A10 and Pioneer DV-440. I've had a difficult time settling on the features I've wanted. I had found the video quality to be nearly identical in most of them, with the Technics being...

Does component video switching hurt picture?
Quality component video cables are expensive. If you use switching, you must buy 2 cables. Most people with mid-high level HT systems already have a universal remote with macros. Just hook the DVD player directly to the TV with a good component vi... 
Looking for a gadget

Small balanced monoblocks
Look into the Monarchy Audios. There are 3 or 4 models that are all pysically very small. I had a pair of SM-70's running in fully balanced mode and I couldn't believe how good they were. I paid $700 for the pair used in perfect condition. For mor... 
What self powered speakers of my PC?
The only $100 speaker I've seen that interest me is possibly the Monsoon flat panels. I haven't heard them, but I've heard ABOUT them. Here's a link:http://www.monsoonpower.com/index_mmedia.htmThree different models from $99-$199 each with a sub i...
