    Hi Joe, I bought the toshiba about 5 months ago and am very pleased with it. Excellent audio and video performance. It can be had for around $500 which makes it a great choice. Be wary though, some users have a 'buzzing' problem with the transport. I have not had this problem though, so I...

    Thanks for the replies guys. Kelly: I do not plan on building the pc, I'll probably buy a Dell. I bought one for my wife and really like it, to bad I don't get to use it much. I guess I'll spend the money on the vid card. Thanks again Josh

    new believer

    Hi Matt I too use a pair of Kimber PBJs. They are on the 2 channel analog outputs of my Toshiba 9200 and I feel they sound great. I have spent as much as $200 on interconnects, Catcables silvercats w/wbt rcas and feel they are much more transparent and fuller sounding than the Kimbers...

    Need "bang for the buck" speakers for a 2nd system

    Patrick, I think the space issue has to do with the bigger vandies. Now I do have mine out into the room about 4ft, I think, but I've also had them within 2 ft of the wall and they still sound great. I have them where they are now because of the way the system is set up: a big screen in the...

    Toe-ing in speakers? Do you or don't you? Why or Why not?

    hey everyone, I don't toe in my speakers and the image and soundstage are fantastic. I have Vandersteen model 1c's and the owners manual says not to toe them in. With the bases they use they're tilted back and fire straight forward, I have tried to toe them in to see if the sound would...

    Audio Interconnects, Locking Connectors, and Frequent Swapping

    Hey Doug, Check out Catcables website and take a look at the connectors. I personally don't have their reg connectors but I don't think they are and bigger than the WBTs, which do not get in each others way. Good luck, Josh

    New Bettercables Speaker Cables

    Hey guys, Speaking of new cables, this isn't about Bettercables but since they are in the same price range i figured I'd chime in. Catcables has a sister company called Quantun, now I've been a Catcable user for a while so this new company has intriqued me. They have a set of speaker...

    Audio Interconnects, Locking Connectors, and Frequent Swapping

    Hey Doug, I use Catcables throughout my system. All of them have the WBT locking rcas which I feel are very easy and simple to use. They don't put any pressure on the rca input when taking off and on, which I feel is the best way to go If you're going to be switching. That way nothing will...

    SD9200 owners with the buzzing problem: Satisfied with Toshiba customer support?

    Hi guys, I have had this player for about 2 months now without any problems. But my friend bought one shortly after I did and has experienced the buzzing sound. I went over to check it out and there it was. He contacted Toshiba and they said never heard of that problem before!! They sent...

    sony '333es vs '555es

    Thanks Keith, I'm still not sure what to do. I'd probably sell the 333 first, I have no need for 2 sacd changers. From what I've heard, J and R is selling the 555 for $500, when I see that low of a price it's hard to pass up. Although I have had my eye on the Classe 1.5, someone on audiogons...

    Is Classe better than Proceed and on par with Mark Levinson?

    Hi there, I have a Classe 151 integrated amp. The dealer where I bought it said the power will double into 4 ohms. I use it with Vandersteen 1c speakers and the dealer said it would run the 3a sigs with no problem(4 ohm full range). I love the amp, I've only had it for a couple of months...

    sony '333es vs '555es

    Hi everyone, I have a sony '333es sacd changer and was wondering if upgrading to the '555es would make any diffence. I am only interested in two channel. With the prices dropping on the 555 the upgrade wouldn't be too expensive. I'll be using it with a classe integrade amp and...

    Tosh SD9200 making noise. Should I even bother taking it in?

    I bought this player about two weeks ago and have had no problems(again, knock on wood). I would think because of all the internet uproar that Toshiba would step up and take care of the problem. I hope your players get fixed, I feel they are great sounding units. Good luck, Josh
