I'm originally from Raleigh and if you've never been to AudioAdvice then I suggest you go NOW. Their new location will make you go crazy (on Glenwood Ave, which is essentially 70 East). Ask for Phil Melton (he's my old rep, tell him Troy McHenry sent you) and have him show you around. Until...

Linn is a great company. Their LP12 turntable is legendary. I've used a pair of bookshelf Linn Kan's for awhile and have always enjoyed them (MSRP: $550). They have started breaking out into some new territory like the "Classik Movie System" which is now a DVD player, amp, and preamp all in...

B&W has a line which is fair, if you want the best look no futher than Thiel (http://www.thielaudio.com). Their powerpoint and powerplane speaker are the best in-wall speakers. Thiel actually sells more of them then they do their regular floorstanding models. my 2 cents... -Troy

Myke, EXACTLY! what I meant. Electrical component interaction plays a key role. Using the APC unit effectively does that for everything else in your house from affecting your audio stuff (since it regenerates the power) but still you'll have interactions from everything plugged into the APC...

Myke, I've used in the past a APC SmartUPS 700 (still have it) and it does work well as a UPS. It doesn't however do a good job filtering between the outlets. When I connected a "audio power conditoner (power massagers is really what they should be called) to the APC that seemed to yield the...

Ron, Thanks for the personal update. My Fiancee and I actually had a discussion as to what "end of the month" meant. I thought anything past the 15th would constitute "end of the month". She believes you break the month into 3-10 day periods for begining, middle, and end of the month...

Got the confirmation e-mail about my reservation Feb 1. It seems I made the list before a lot of people did due to people waiting for the beta reports to come out. If I had known the reservation wasn't binding I would of done it middle of January. Can't wait to kiss my tax refund goodbye...

I also got three notices in my inbox. I guess SVS really wanted to let me know! That's what I call customer service! -Troy ***I just know this is the home stretch but I can't stand the waiting. It must be because I know 100% that I'm getting one and that its soon. I reserved my Outlaw 950...

I'm getting ansy and I'm ready for my first SVS sub (20-39 PCi) to come to my door. Any idea/rumors as to when they will ship? Thanks! -Troy

I agree I normally have an adversion to anything Monster, but remember the person who actually got hired by Monster Cable to design the whole Monster Power line is Richard Marsh who runs Marsh Sound Design. He also was the one behind MIT's entire power line products (Z-series), which were...

I've heard the entire LM line from B&W and it's not bad. The sub sucks however, and the speakers don't sound "great" but much better then what any TV built-in speakers will sound like. Have you tried the blueroom minipods? Check them out at: Link Removed They sounds pretty good and look...

My SVS PCi 20-39 subwoofer is on its way. I have a fair amount of DVD's to test with, but keep hearing about Pipe Organ music as good test/demo music. I'm into classical music (my tastes have always run towards violin and piano) but am looking for some good pipe organ music recomendations -...

Tom, Since we're on this thread can you answer the same question for me. I just pre-ordered a 20-39 PCi and I'm hoping it will be enough for my room. My room is 12 ft wide, 12ft high and 26 ft long (3,744 cu ft), it doesn't open up to anything (1914 carriage house). Will the bass be...

I ordered my model SV20-39PCi during lunch today at 12:30pm. I'm number #2401 so are you guys that are in 2300's don't feel so bad. I'm new to the hometheater world (long time two-channel guy). Now I guess I have two things to wait for and drive me crazy! My SV Subwoofer and my Outlaw 950...

I read a great little piece about Eastech and the products coming out from AT and Sherbourn. Both companies did already have prototype models at CES 2002. The article on this one site had this to say: Confidential sources confirm that all three are the same unit, manufactured in Malaysia...
