    Outlaw's new pre/pro, the 990.

    aaron, I believe that you said Disappointing that Outlaw is always behind on connectivity, DVI is dead. I'm sure it's a solid product, just a shame they are late to the plate not having HDMI. That was your first post on the topic. Sounds like a complaint to me

    Outlaw's new pre/pro, the 990.

    chris, Oh I understand the reasons well enough, it just amazes me is all. I mean how many receivers or pre/pros out there switch HDMI? What do they cost? How many people actually own a TV with HDMI inputs? DVI is far more common. Geez, at $1100 it is cheaper to upgrade the pre-pro down the...

    Outlaw's new pre/pro, the 990.

    Let me say, I do not own Outlaw gear. Nor am I contemplating this as an upgrade. However, I am constantly amazed at how much people bitch and moan about how something isnt perfect for almost no money. You get DVI switching for two components, component video switching for 3 pieces, and...

    Speaker suggestions $1500/pair

    Brian, How are you doing? Is life treating you well? I hope so. Long time no talk. I have been off the boards for awhile with a lot of work. I picked up a pair of the AV-3 in unfinished MDF, with the caps upgrade for $350. Couldnt beat the price. Michael, I said for most music, it would...

    Speaker suggestions $1500/pair

    Mike, The graph is the frequency response plot, which is essentially flat, and what you want for that type of plot. It tells you nothing about how low and loud it will play, as that is affected by a host of other factors, such as cabinet design. In this case the design is a transmission...

    GR-Research A/V-2s as starters?

    You may want to hold off. Danny is about to introduce the AV-4, which is a 3 way design. Think AV-1 with sidefiring 12" woofer and 12" passive radiator. You can see pics of the prototype at http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/v...ic.php?t=16933 Just food for thought.

    Upcoming Elton John SACD's What to get?

    well, I picked up tumbleweed, honky, madman and claptons slowhand. I have only had a chance to listen to tumbleweed (2 channel only) I must say, the album has never sounded better, and there are details in there, i have never heard before. I just hope the rest sound as good.

    Please advise a DIY sub newbie!

    Kincade and Wade, Search my name in this forum, as I posted a picture of my HT with the new sub. It really isnt anything to look at. It was my first DIY project (although I built the speakers, the cabinets were made by Brian Bunge, and the speakers were built from Dannys AV-1 kit). It is...

    Please advise a DIY sub newbie!

    Kincade, I'll give you my side. I just finished a 54L (2 cubic feet) sealed sub. The driver is a PE Titanic MKII 12" driver, and the PE 250 watt plate amp. It kills for music. The bass is sharp, defined, and fast. I listen to a lot of jazz with upright bass, and it is clean and clear. I...

    5 Steely Dan SACDs on 6/22

    I am a huge Steely Dan fan, and have memories of college listening to the Dan and being entranced. I may be the odd man here, but I like Katy Lied better than Aja. Oh well, to each his own.

    Please rate the Adire Audio 281

    Randolph, You wont find any professional reviews of the AV-3, as it is a new design, and has not been out that long, Nov. or Dec. I think. So you will have to rely on people's opinion. I know Hank built a pair (do a search) and he loves his. He said they are one of the best music/HT combo...

    If you owned a store what speakers would you have?

    John, Marvins electronics here is Fort Worth sells both the paradigm (and associated Anthem lines) and the B&W (and associated Rotel lines). It does happen.
