    KEF Model 104's

    They are the 103.2. I purchased mine with stands. They have been absolutely bullet proof. They are out in my shop now, but I still enjoy getting out there and running them. I much prefer them over my Sonus Faber's and 12" Veledyne Sub. On the other hand, my wife likes the size of the Sonus much...

    Cable TV and your own DVR

    I tried the search function figuring this topic has come up before but I must be using the wrong search words. I have satelite TV, (Direct TV), a phone company that gives me phone and internet (DSL). An all in one package from our cable compny (Wave Cable) is almost half the price fro comparable...

    Made in America Amps, Receivers, Processors?

    What about Adcom? I own 3 of their amps, out of New Jersey as I recall if they are still kicking. I am using their 5 channel and their 2 channel 555II. Both are alive and doing well. Got them in 1992.

    Do they make a power strip with a 12 volt trigger...

    I did manage to find a power strip locally for $39 that had what T2T mentions above and it works very well. I figured I could easily build one via a 12V pull on a relay, that could then turn on a outlet that turned on a line conditioner/power strip etc, but I wanted it right now. I use it to...

    Flac in your theater?

    Sort of yeah. I have two Sonus Faber fronts and a Velodyne sub, a 2.1 system, that's my home theater and my home music system. It works well.

    Flac in your theater?

    So FLAC is the way to go over the other loseless methods. After researching it, I am now aware that there are many ways to do FLAC. Is there a post here that explains how someone such as myself would start doing this? I currently use Windows Media over Apples iTunes because it seems problem free...

    HTPC Help

    Do you like the interface? Do you have a external USB drive and how large? What about something like Apple TV with a built in hard drive if I understand it correctly? Thanks..

    Do they make a power strip with a 12 volt trigger...

    Do they make a power strip that would accept a 12 volt trigger... that a receiver could turn on via its 12 volt trigger? I just purchased a Yamaha receiver with the 12 volt trigger but found out my old Soundstream power strip triggers with a RJ11 type connection and I am not even sure of its...

    This could be the HTPC killer... maybe...

    I just can't easily see the screen or get my fingers to hit the small icons very well. Now if they made the screen bigger and larger icons...... that would be :cool:

    This could be the HTPC killer... maybe...

    You and I could not be more on the same page. I was thinking I might be the only one thinking like this. I keep seeing things like WD live TV or Apple TV but I want the touch screen interface for me and also for those like my wife who will also utilize the convenience it offers. GLad you brought...

    This could be the HTPC killer... maybe...

    The Slate may well be exactly what I want, I'm still trying to figure this stuff out. I don't want movies BD or DVD on my hard drive, just music and pictures. Perhaps after reading from all the various posts here and figuring out FLAC's from MP3's to bitstream's versus analog type stuff, the...

    Emotiva UMC-1 VS. Denon 591 etc. I have a question

    Thanks, I anxiously awaited the Emotiva pre-processor hoping it would be what I wanted. After some research it looks like there are still some bugs that I certainly hope they work out. I am leaning towards something like the Yamaha 665 that has pre outs. The price is right and it should work OK...

    Emotiva UMC-1 VS. Denon 591 etc. I have a question

    I have been pondering buying a new receiver to replace my old Yamaha R9 from the early 80's. I would like HDMI switching as well as 5.1 for eventual use in my family room. My question is, what would the Emotiva UMC-1 do that the Denon 591 etc type receivers won't do. I know the use of my...

    Denon AVR-391 Receiver First Look

    This is exactly what I would get IF Denon like Yamaha like everyone that I am aware of would simply install front LF & RF preouts on the receiver. Without that one thing, I am simply not interested. I am still considering the UMC-1 once Loser reports back on his upgrades.

    Am I being siLlY?

    I put my name on the list (maybe) via an email for a the Emotiva UMC-1. I did a search here and read quite a bit about it from a post by Mr Major Loser (is that pronounced Lew sair or is it loose her?) I have a Adcom 6000 5 channel amp that I think might work with it. As a relative new person...
