bubbles, how do you like your CAL Alpha DAC? I love mine

here is my small system. always upgrading or replacing something in it.

http://community.webshots.com/user/svsdangerboy

Polk Speakers.

Mostly Marantz electronics

My setup is pretty simple but it sounds good...I acquired roughly half of it on eBay :)

One day I'd like to replace the Marantz with something a little more 'updated', but I have yet to find something that sounds as good without spending more than I want to spend...But anyway, for a non-professional listener, it sounds really good!

how do you like the tube amps?

Quite obviously the same unscrupulous salesman that sold Major Matt Mason his Kenner Close 'n Play with the Gouge-A-Matic 2000 cartridge!

Not true. Some of the pictures on this very thread (including mine) were uploaded on this site. Look at the bottom of the page when you're posting a message. You'll see an "Attach Files" section that has a "Upload/Manage Photos" button in it. If you post one picture, it'll automatically display in your post (inline). If you post more than one, the pictures will appear as a list and viewers will have to click on each file name to display them. You are limited to 5 pictures per post.

Perhaps you are just used to the old way of uploading pictures. The software transferred the picture from your computer to the AR server and gave you a URL to address the picture with. That won't work anymore. You'll note that the addresses look like this: http://forums.audioreview.com/attach...entid=45&stc=1 , which is gonefishin's picture, the first in this thread. This method was implemented I suppose to keep people from using someone's server to post their space-intensive pictures to the internet, although the pictures may have had nothing to do with the forum they posted them in. Note that you can click on the URL to see the picture, but you can't use it within image tags like [ img]http://forums.audioreview.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=45&stc=1[ /img] So, it's either get your own webspace to upload what you want, or use the forum the way it is now, limiting you to posting pictures that better have relevance to the discussion! :D

The worst thing is, it's so clear no matter what volume it is on when I am about 20 feet from the house with all the doors and windows closed.

OK,
I have an old Sony reciever STS-DE305 (175w) It has 2 channels with 2 outputs per channel.

I recently bought 2 Klipsch Synergy 1 speakers- (300watt max) i was told my reciever had no chance of blowing them out.

I hooked them both up to the A channel and had the B channel off. Then I proceeded to pump them up very loud.They lasted about 5 hours before they almost completley died. I returned them at no cost to myself, thank you best buy, but I was wondering why that happened.

When I explained it to the guy at Best Buy, he was so perplexed, "that shouldn't have happened." I am aware that the employees there are not audiophiles, but I am simply trying to get some speakers that will be VERY loud (not nessesarily great quality)- without blowing out- and can be put facing out my window at parties with 200-300 college students getting rowdy and drunk.

i own a very simple audio/visual system

Sony MCH RV6 vcd player component
LG 68cm Conventional TV CT-29M30RX

it's worth entertaining.

But I'm planning to acquire more sophisticated equipment soon. I'm just saving money right now.


:cool:

OK, here we go - (First post)

I've been lurking/reading for a couple of weeks; many high quality & interesting threads. Cheers

regards, billb....

Might as well post it here:

Main system:

SVS 20-39CS w ISD driver
VMPS Large Subwoofer (older version of New Original Subwoofer)
nOrh wood 5.1 mains (upgrading to Rocket RS550s come Tuesday)
nOrh ceramic 4.0 (center - eventually will get Rocket RSC200, surrounds - enventually will upgrade to RS150s)
Outlaw 1050
nOrh Le Amps (mains)
Samson S700 (subs)
Panasonic DVD RV-31K
Panasonic 27" TV

Bedroom system:

nOrh ceramic 4.0 (will be going to nOrh wood 5.1s)
Yamaha RXV-496

Oops - Forgot the Infinity sub in the den (10",100W, servo driven). Too many toys, I guess; hard to count them all. I also have the problem of insufficient space in the profile for the system list; mine ends about a third of the way through the HT description.

regards, billb....

OK, I'll admit it. My audio/HT rigs are not exactly 'audiphile' quality.
At one end of my family room, my HT is a downright joke:
Sony 33" TV
Norcent DP1800 DVD/HTIB (less than $130!)
JVC S-VHS
Philips DishNetwork Receiver

As bad as the Norcent is, it sounds better than the Sony audio. I use the Sony for center channel. All other audio is thru the Norcent amp/speakers.

My stereo is (only slightly) better:
Sony RCDW 500 CD player/recorder
HK3475 Receiver, driving speaker mids/tweeters
Carver CM1090 power amp section driving speaker woofers
B&W DM640 Speakers, bi-amp setup
RatShack gold interconnects, Romex 10-guage for speaker wire

Nope, no turntable. All my vinyl was destroyed in a flood 6 years ago.

The problem here is not so much the equipment as the room. The electronics reside under my bar, and the speakers are stuck 'way deep in corners 25 feet away, in a billiard room - 16 X 30, glass on 3 sides and open to a large family room on the 4th. No comfy chair in the 'sweet spot' (assuming there is one!) because it would intrude on the billiard space. Someday, I'll have a properly set-up media room.

My system:

Parasound AVC-1800 AV preamp
Parasound HCA-1205A 5-channel power amp
Sony CDP-CX240 200 Disc CD Changer
Panasonic RP-56 DVD Player
Aiwa AW-808 Dual Cassette Tape Deck
Yamaha PF-50 Turntable
Parasound PPH-100 phono preamp
Pioneer LD-909 Laserdisc player
Main Speakers- Eminent Technology LFT-IV
Center Speaker- Eminent Technology LFT-XII
Surround Speakers- Martin Logan Scenario
Subwoofer- Velodyne HGS-12 Series II
Mitsubishi 45" RPTV

Just joined the group. After looking through this thread, I feel rather humbled, but then again, I hope to learn a lot ... already have ! And to boot, I have just recently upgraded from Pro-Logic and so this A/V receiver sounds simply amazing ... to me anyways.

Upgrade included the A/V receiver, Athena speakers and the Sub.

-A/V Receiver: Pioneer VSX-41 Elite
-FRONTS: Athena S.5
-CENTER: Athena C.5
-SUB: Klipsch RW-8
-SURROUNDS: Bose
-DVD: Panasonic S35
-CD: Pioneer
-VCR: Toshiba

Ray

Sherwood 5.1 digital receiver
Denon DCM-370 CD changer
Sony DVD/SACD player
Optimus LX-5 speakers (4)
Optimus CS-5 Center
Zenith single DVD player

speakers: ADS 1230s (1983); power amp: Quad 405 (1978); pre-amp: Nakamichi 410 (1978); table: Thorens 166 mk2 (1985); cartridge: Sumiko Pearl (1997); tuner: Yamaha T-1 (1978 or 79); cd: NAD (1987); cassette: Denon (1985, it's broken).

If there's better sounding speakers than the 1230s in that price range (retailed for $1500 in 1983), I haven't heard them.Which is the reason I've never been compelled to "trade up." The weak link here is the Sumiko Pearl. Perhaps I should have spent the extra $150 it would have cost to get the Sumiko MC high output Blue Point Special. But with CD and dwindling vinyl recordings, I didn't see the need. In my view CDs sound better, though I realize there's a fringe element of the audiophile tribe that profoundly disagrees.
