In that price range, you need to go used to get something that's a step up from the receiver internal amp.
Check out the ROTEL RB-985 or the Parasound HCA-1205A. I've had the Parasound before...

I ran the CSi25 with a set of R50s and it sounded great. The CSi25 is timbre matched to the R30s, R50s, and R15s.

Perfect! Thank you very much. I'm going to see if I can hunt one down around my area.

I have a digital one but always preferred the analog version. Anyone got a Radio Shack P/N for this one on clearance?

If you truly mean this, I would recommend a used Bryston 9B-ST THX. This amp can be had in the $1500-1800 range. You'll likely get a warranty that last longer than buying new of other brands.

If your primary goal is to do video, then ATV gen2 or any of the other streaming devices will work fine. However, if you want it to play music the original ATV gen1 with 160GB storage is the way to...

For you bay area guys, I've been watching this pair of Focus 220s for nearly 2weeks now. Price has dropped from $1800 to now $1500. I suspect it can be had for under $1400 with a little...

It wasn't that long ago I wanted a music server for similar reasons. I wanted something 17" wide that I could stack next to my other players. After much research, I found nothing affordable (under...

While at BB last week looking at audio, this TV had the most stunning picture I've ever seen. Just incredible! They were showing Dark Knight on Bluray.

Let me try.

I wanted a device where I can store ALL my CDs so I don't have to dig through my CD collection any more. And I wanted to do this without having a computer running all the time. Some...

I was looking at Amazon.com. In stock right now. Free shipping and no tax where I live.

I just noticed Apple has lowered the price of its 160GB Apple TV to just $150! I remember them selling for $329. Any cheaper, I'd consider getting another as a backup.

For those of you...

Good solid amp. Good price if the amp is is great condition.

Same sound quality and build quality as with most of the vintage HCA series from Parasound.
I ran a 1205A using a Denon AVR3806...

Very exciting news! I've strayed from Polk products over the years because they didn't offer any subless floor standers in the LSI line. I will certainly give these a close look and listen once...

Not sure if this was already posted on the Polk board but Amazon has this sub on promotion at $379 shipped. Seems like a pretty good deal on a solid sub.

This is what a cheater plug looks like.

Another common cause of ground loop involve the cable tv or satellite feed. You...

After flopping between the Wadia and a few other devices, I've decided to go with the 160GB AppleTV to keep things simple. I already have iTunes and just spent the Thanksgiving break reripping all...

That's the exact cable I'm ready to get from Part Express. The place you referenced has it for even less! Thanks.

Look to try out a glass toslink for under $40. If you have one laying around, please let me know.

Thanks,

Count me as one who feels spades provide a better connection. When screwed down at the terminals, the spades provide a very solid connection. I think this connection is better than the typical...

Yep, Bryston sent two chips, a chip puller, and new screws. Both chips sit on that daughter board behind the face panel. One is the square chip in the brown socket and the other bigger IC with the...

I had to pull apart this Bryston SP1.7 to upgrade the firmware.

The talk of WD TV got me looking around for similar devices.

Anybody have an Apple TV? There's a 160GB version and it and that thing has a TOSLINK port.

Thanks GV. Then the WD is off the list.
Reripping my CDs now from 320K/bps to the Apple Lossless. Hope it all will fit on my 80GB iPOD. If not looks like the new 160GB version for sale is...

Funny you mention the Bryston DAC because that's the exact piece I had my sights on. I just didn't know what to feed it. Now you've all given me a lot of ideas. That Naim is exactly what I want...
