| Receiver for pre/pro? I'm currently using a Rotel 1055 receiver as a pre/pro with Parasound Halo outboard amps. This is a stop-gap set-up while I finalize my pre/pro options. For HT, I noticed more dynamic and focused sound. Tighter bass and an overall more enveloping ... | |
| Gallo reference /TAS vs Me The added amping of the second voice coil adds a nice tight depth to the sound. Surprisingly subtle at times, it obviously shows in bass-heavy material like hip/hop or dance. The ICBM unit works perfectly with an outboard amp to drive the second c... | |
| CES Rumors Q Man:I've been holding off about a new pre/pro as well... same choices: AVM 30 vs. C2. If I had the money, I think the Anthem D1 would be in the running.Ted | |
| TV Picture diffenences between HD and non HD Given the dearth of HDTV offerings, I opted for a EDTV Plasma. I find DVD and HDVT signals look simply amazing. At a normal (greater than 8 foot) viewing distance, I couldn't tell the difference between a true HDTV and EDTV from a digital cable so... | |
| Gallo reference /TAS vs Me I have my pair for only about 3 weeks, and I can say the sound opens up dramatically even with partial break-in. Of the several stores I visited trying to find them in stock, none on display were broken-in to the extent recommended by Gallo (100-3... | |
| Need Inexpensive Crossover There is also Outlaw Audio's ICBM. While primarily designed for bass management for multi-channel audio (SACD, DVD-A), it can also be used as a 2-channel crossover. It has continuously-variable crossovers from 40HZ-up, and either maintains stereo ... | |
| Anthony Gallo Reference 3 without sub My Reference 3s were very harsh right out of the box. After a week of moderate use, the trebble calmed down, the mids smoothed out and the bass became fuller and tighter. In fact I had to adjust the tweeter level from -2db out of the box to +/-0 a... | |
| DVR's and High Definition TV Time-Warner cable of NYC will be offering HD-Cable box with DVR as well. TIVO is supposed to have some HD-compatible hardware coming as well. It may already be available in the new Humax DVR. | |
| Stand-alone Sony Tivos Try using the Serial connection (if the DirecTV has a serial in) instead of the IR-Blaster | |
| Anthony Gallo Ref 3 - Bass Solutions with Tube Amp I received an email from Gallo speaker's customer service and she confirmed that their subwoofer amp and center channel speaker are slated for a January launch. | |
| New York City,,,,hello Wolf Paper & Twine, now on West 20th Street of 6th Ave is the cheapest, best place for packing materials. Period.Ted | |
| Upgrading from Receiver to Separates Thanks for the response... Actually, I haven't been so happy with the Rotel Receiver when it comes to 2-channel audio. Maybe their preamp/processor + amplifier sounds better. | |
| iPod help needed... I agree with Artmaltman... consider your needs. If lossless is really important, than I'd suggest creating playlists, and managing your CD collection manually. Do you really need access to all 110 CDs at once? Put on as much as you can, and change... |
