I friend has a Counterpoint SA-7 tube preamp that has lost the right phono channel. The company that originally manufactured the preamp is out of business and the only way he can get it repaired is to go back to the original designer's company. This has my friend looking at some upgrade options...
I need a little networking help with something that is going to drive me insane: I have had a wired network running for about a year and a half now. My network consists of 3 PCs and an Audiotron. My main PC is the one I use for everything (internet, gaming, music, etc.), it has my printer...
I intend to pull the trigger today on a Denon 3805 receiver and Denon Universal DVD player. At this point based on reviews and the lower price, I'm looking hard at the 2200. Any opinions? Also, the 2200 is said to have a blue display and the 2900 is said to have a white display. Has anyone...
I am running a Sony 2ES receiver with a Sony 685V DVD/CD/SACD player. I am wondering if I should buy a 999ES before they become unavailable since I believe they are no longer manufacturing them. I realize that I most likely won't see or hear a major improvement, but as it turns out I'm...
I posted a few days ago that I wanted to upgrade my receiver/amp/DVD player to Rotel. Some suggestions from forum members were to just upgrade the amp to Rotel and keep my current setup. Current setup: Sony STR-DA2ES Receiver Sony DVP-NC685V CD/SACD/DVD Player B&W 602s3 Mains, LCR600s3...
I can purchase a Rotel RB-970BX amp from a guy I work with for $50.00. I have not seen it yet, but the guy seems very picky about his stuff. He says its a 40wpc 2-channel amp. Is this correct? Is anyone familiar with this unit? Should I consider it a steal and take it from him? Thanks.
I have wanted to purchase Rotel components for a long time now. I haven't had an opportunity to listen to any as of yet. However, I'm very curious. I'm interested in the RSX-1056 receiver and a RDV-1050 DVD player. My current system: Sony STR-DA2ES receiver Sony DVP-NC685V DVD player B&W...
I recently put my 6 year old Mits 55" rptv in my basement. It will be used primarily for my kids to watch movies with friends and on occasion I would like to possibly use it to listen to CD/MP3/FM. I have some pretty nice stuff in my home theater(Pioneer Elite TV, Sony ES, B&W Speakers, SVS...
First I have only owned Mitsubishi TVs. I currently have a ~5 year old Mits 55" 4:3. The picture is great and the TV has been flawless. The unfortunate thing is that the upgrade bug has bitten me good. Over the last year I have been looking at all the different technologies (LCD, DLP, Plasma...
I'm going to purchase a new Sony DVD player this next week. My search has led me to two models: DVP-NC685V (5 disc DVD/CD/SACD) DVP-CX985V (400 disc DVD/CD/SACD) I'm looking for anyone's opinion on the 5 vs. 400 disc player. I have a DVD collection of about 150 DVD's. I like the idea of...
I just picked up some B&W 602 S3's yesterday. And while they sound incredible for the money, they sound somewhat muffled in the upper frequency compared to my old DM600's (from ~8 years ago). In anyone's experience, will the upper frequencies open up a bit over time? Thanks.
I am a long time B&W speaker owner/fan. However, I've got the itch for something new. I just got my SVS 20-39 PC+ last Wednesday and now am planning on a speaker purchase. Here's what I'm looking at: (1st choice) Front: Paradigm Studio 20 Center: Paradigm Studio CC (2nd choice) Front...
I've been looking at the Axiom website for some time and have had my eyes on the M22ti's with the VP150 center. I really like the idea of the M22ti's bookshelf design for use with speaker stands. The only issue is that by the time I get a nice set of speaker stands for around $100.00, I could...
I'm planning to audition some B&W speakers this weekend. I'm looking at the DM602 S3 and an LCR60 S3. Can anyone who owns these tell me what I should expect to pay? Thanks in advance.
