    which dac to use?

    My only complaint listening thru the dvd's decoder is I can't get the sub balanced without turning the gain way up. One of these days I will upgrade to a better pre pro

    which dac to use?

    I believe it is less harsh listening thru the dvd's dac. The sound is more discrete.

    Will DVD-Audio Survive

    I'm recently interested in dvd-audio/sacd format wars,as I purchased a dvd with dvd-a capabilities. What do you guys think about a c.d. with dts encoding? I believe a well done c.d recording with dts mixing can sound very close to dvd-audio/sacd. This format is nice because it will play on...

    which dac to use?

    I'm using a YAMAHA DVD-C920 with a Yamaha rxv-995. When I'm playing 2-channel music which component should be used to handle dac? Should I select external decoder and let the dvd player do it or should I use digital outs on the dvd player and let the receiver do it? Thanks, Miles

    1 mo old hsu vtf-3 died this morning??

    Here is the response I got back from HSU. I will be mailing it back. HSU's response.... If you can, take it back to Jeff for it to be fixed. If you bought it via mail order, then take the amplifier module out and ship that back. In order to do this, you need to remove the woofer first. Pop...

    1 mo old hsu vtf-3 died this morning??

    I was thinking it is the amp too. It was fine last night while watching at normal volumes, and then poof...gone this a.m. I hope HSU resolves this in a timely fashion. I will update once it is resolved. Thanks for your responses. Miles

    1 mo old hsu vtf-3 died this morning??

    Oh my gosh!! What happened?... I noticed a crackling sound this morning coming from the sub. It is noticeable even at very low volumes. I also noticed a humming sound coming from the sub. I also noted it makes a loud popping sound when I turn it off. It has worked flawlessly up to this point...

    Box or Cylinder Sub (which is more musical??)

    If two sub enclosures contained identical components (amp/driver), which would sound more musical? Assuming they have the same air volume and use the same diameter port? Also assuming they both are exactly the same in structural integrity?

    Boston Acoustics

    Love my Boston VR-M90's. They are outstanding. I haven't compared them to much in the same price range. I bought them based on my previous satisfaction with other boston products. vr940's.

    vtf-3 review (upgraded my pv-800)

    I recently upgraded my subwoofer from a Boston Acoustics PV-800 to HSU VFT-3. After prolonged consideration between SVS PC-plus and HSU VTF-3 I decided on the VFT-3 mainly because of immediate availability and due to size constraints. My reason for upgrading the pv-800 was due to my...

    HSU-VTF3 vs Velo CHT-15 - Results!

    James, I'm assumming you tested the vtf-3 in max extension mode? I think the vtf-3 sounds even better for music in max output mode. I think the difference in sound quality would have been greater if tested in max output mode.

    hsu vtf-3 calibration question

    UPS is scheduled todeliver my vtf-3 today! I have a few questions regarding calibration. I'm going to use a radio shack digital spl meter and test tones from toy story thx menu (I know, avia is better). My reciever (yamaha rx-v995) has a subwoofer level adjustment from -12 db to 0db. Also, there...

    How does the Hsu VTF-3 compare to a SVS??

    I can't wait to see objective data of both pc-plus and vrt-3. vrt-3 has an unfair advantage over PCi. Perhaps pci has slightly unfair advantage over vrt-2. Apples to Apples... Oranges to Oranges.. Not Aples to Oranges.

    Can some one compare and contrast hsu vrt-3 and velodyne hgs 12

    My father-in-law owns a velodyne HGS-12. I just ordered a HSU VRT-3. I think he may be a little sceptical about the HSU. I know both are good, but I would appreciate it if an expert could compare and contrast these two subs so I can help explain to my fater-in-law. I would like to know the...

    SVS PC PLUS or HSU-VTF-3

    Should I wait for the pc-plus or get instant gratification with an HSU vrf-3?? The SVS has 500-watt amp and the HSU vrf-3 has a 250-watt amp. It looks like the SVS should be superior to the HSU from the standpoint of power. Has anyone heard both the CS plus and the HSU vrf-3? It looks like the...

    SVS PC Plus preorders

    Does anyone have any updates as to the status of the pc plus preorders? Are they going to ship in 3 weeks (last week of August) or will it be in September. I'm pretty anxious about this sub!!

    svs pc-plus 20-39 vs velodyne h.g.s. 12

    You would have to speculate since the pc-plus hasn't been released. How about the svs cs plus compared to the velodyne hgs 12. Does anyone have experience in comparing these two? I'm ready to buy the velodyne, but would consider the svs if I thought they were in the same ballpark. Would I have...

    SVS PC+ orders anyone?

    4572 I can't wait. I want to be prepared for when it arrives. Does anyone know where I can buy a calibration disc that plays low frequencies?

    Does anyone know how to contact svs via telephone? I have too many questions to correspond via email. Thanks, Miles

    I got rid of my sub....GOOD RIDDANCE!!

    I agree that music can sound better with a sub. I already sold my sub, but I may someday get the bug to replace it. Next time I will seek professional advice when setting it up. I didn't realize it could be so complicated. Also, I was running the mains as small with the sub so no cancellations...

    I got rid of my sub....GOOD RIDDANCE!!

    I recently upgraded my boston acoustics vr940 to vrm-90's. I continued to use a boston pv800 with my vrm-90s. Last night, for fun, I unhooked my sub and ran my mains as large. All I can say is the vrm-90s sound so much richer and more musical!! Perhaps I didn't have my sub calibrated correctly...

    What do you guys think about Boston Acoustic speakers?

    Hello fellow boston acoustics fans. I recently upgraded my center and sub to a VRMC center PV800 respectively. I'm going to sell my old center (vr12) and old sub (pv800) on ebay. If you know someone who might be interested drop me an email. Thanks, Miles

    Wasted Money on New Amp?

    Wow, I can't get to my receiver fast enough to change every thing to small!! I was playing with this yesterday and found when everything was set to small the sub sounded a little boomy. I have Boston Acoustics vrm90's as fronts, boston vrmc as center, and boston dx pros as rears, and boston...

    What do you guys think about Boston Acoustic speakers?

    How much are the psb image 1b speakers? I'm sure it would be ok. Another idea would be to get some junk speakers for surrounds (very inexpensive) and save for another set of future vrm50's. Also, you could save for a set of vrm60s and use the vrm50's as surrounds. My home theater system is...
