Ask and ye shall receive. When you reply to a thread, look below the text box for "Additional Options". Here one can Upload/manage Photos. You can also imbed pics directly from a website as well using some basic HTML commands.

Note: Replace the "{" character with a "<" and the "}" character with a ">" in the following example. You would not be able to see the format if I did it correctly:

No problemo. Here's another tip. You can easily make your website a clickable link. Here is the usage - again I must use a "wrong" characters so that you can see the structure. Use "<>" instead of "{}".

I'm sure this has been asked many times before, but there's a reason I'm asking.... you now have a field in your profile where you can enter this information (called "equipment list") and never have to type it out again. Imagine being able to just point people to your profile to tell them what you own. Fill in your profile and reply to this thread so we can check it out!

Come on guys, let's see what you got!

hi everyone,

i have an HK AVR 520, infinity !L 50's 10's, and 25c, also a CT-120 from velodyne.

I mainly listen to music, mostly mp3's

what should be my next upgrade?

Dump the mp3's!

[Audioman00]

That is a very nice setup actually, the only thing I can think of is the Interconnect cables, Do you have a good set of cables? and a Power conditioner? I use a UPS for a computer, they are great for power line conditioning and grounding. I really like infinity spkrs, they sound great for less money.

Front=PSB Stratus Bronze. Demo $800
Center=PSB Image 9C. About $200. Would like to upgrade to Stratus center channel one day.
Back=PSB Image 2B. About $225/pr
Sub=Velodyne HT-12. Need to upgrade the sub. Used $200.
Preamp=Lexicon DC-2 w/ DTS (excellent for HT, not so good with movies). Used $1100.
Amp=Chiro C-500 (140 wpc, 80lb monster, used $600). If you are into SERIOUS HT wattage and have the opportunity, pick one of these things up.
TT=Systemdek IIX w/ Ortofon OM-20. Used $250 I think. Excellent TT, servicable cartridge but needs to be upgraded. Sounds like hell through the Lexicon, much better with my old NAD T-770.
phono preamp=NAD
DVD=Pioneer DFD-563 (or something like that). I needed something cheap. Sounds pretty good for the $150 I paid for it..
CD=Sony low end 400 cd jukebox. This think kinda sucks and I need to replace it. OK for low end but as I upgraded preamp and amp, it rapidly became a weak link.

Anyway, I included prices because I think that one can get a pretty good sounding HT system used (like from Audiogon) pretty reasonably. But what I really want are a pair of Vandersteen 2ce's running some tube amplification.

Which speakers do you like better? The Cerwin Vegas or the Realistic Mach 2? I've been looking to pick up some "party" speakers.

Thanks,
Roy

The Mach 2s deliver a somewhat more refined (relatively speaking) presentation than the Vegas. While they will both play plenty loud, the 'Vegas are more efficient than the Mach 2s. The 'Vegas require less power to make your pants flap and your ears bleed...

Which do I like better? They both suck, but the Mach 2s suck less.
Have a great party

Have entered my gear list twice now on the sig page, but it keeps bugging me (and erasing my data) for nonentered fields like name which I don't want to post anyway. Gave up. Here it is. Gotta put in a plug for Bill Dudleston and Bob Carver!

[royphil345]

I thought that might be the case. Alot of people still seem to like their Mach IIs after all these years. Makes it harder to find a pair dirt-cheap though. I'll keep my eyes open.

Thanks again,
Roy

You're welcome.
IMO, the Mach 1s are better than the Mach 2s, FWIW.
