    Post your Speaker setup PICS!!!!!!

    I'll post pictures after an upgrade that I have coming in a few weeks. Naim SuperNAIT, CD5i, and Flat-Cap 2 Power Supply should make for a healthy increase in SQ.

    Post your Speaker setup PICS!!!!!!

    Did you just say too much power? Blasphemy! My PL100's are rated at 50-120W which are in turn being fed by couple of 250W ICEpower amps.

    Post your Speaker setup PICS!!!!!!

    The Bel Canto S300 is actually a very good amp for around $1500. Very tight sound although a bit on the lean side but it should go well with the Harbeth's. For around $800 the Parasound A23 is also a great piece. Good luck in your search.

    Post your Speaker setup PICS!!!!!!

    It's been a while since I've brushed up on pricing but is that a $2500 DAC with a $200 amp and $80 speakers? I know you're upgrading to Harbeths but talk about disproportionate spending.

    Paradigm Comparison

    Paradigm is a great company with great products and so is B&W but the difference IMO is every Paradigm line is good value for the money IMO except maybe the Cinema line. B&W makes very good speakers in the CM series, the Diamond tweeter 800's, and everything higher up. The 600 series is very...

    Connecting a pair of bookshelves to my PC

    I recently came across a pair of Dali Concept 1's that I have no use for so I figured I would use them on my PC to replace my Klipsch Promedia 2.1's. However, I am a bit new to this so I need some advice. I have an X-Fi XtremeMusic in my PC and the Dali's are rated at 87dB sensitivity. I...

    Deal: DFI X38 Dark Motherboard

    DFI did go through a rough spot for a while during the P965/RD600 phase and a little before that. However, they have been having great success with the P35/X38 boards and I would highly recommend them. This is a great deal for an X38 board.

    Goodbye Crucial... Hello Corsair.

    The thing with Crucial RAM and especially Ballistix is they have a tendency to die rather quickly at their rated 2.2V which is a bit silly. Take for instance, my Ballistix are solid at their rated 800MHz at 4-4-4-12 with 1.8V which of course makes a huge difference in terms of heat and lifespan...

    Fry's - Assassin's Creed - 39$ both versions on Thursday

    I was at the San Diego store earlier in the day and asked about it and they said they would be getting it later in the day around 5 PM. I went back at around 5:30 with no games in sight. So I went up to the Software counter and asked. All sold out of the PS3 version but they still had 360...

    Crysis, the best FPS to date

    I've played through the first 3 levels or so and while it is a marvel to look at, I haven't been that impressed. Of the recent games I've played, IMO, CoD4 is superior in terms of storytelling and presentation, Bioshock in terms of atmosphere and art, and HL2 as an overall package.

    Xbox 360 HD-DVD Player + Heroes and more

    Just a little update. Went to the Mission Valley store in San Diego. I brought the 2 DVD's and my receipt to the CS desk and explained the situation to the lady there and she got on the phone. I heard her say: "Hey, its one of those HD-DVD guys again" and she proceeded to ring up my 2 DVD's at...

    Graphical problems with Call of Duty 4 demo

    I'm playing with the specs in my sig and everything works great at 1280x768. However, only when I look down the sights of my gun, I get this sort of light bloom everywhere and kaleidoscope effect which pretty much makes it impossible to play like that. I just updated my video drivers and all my...
