Agree 1000% The real Genelecs would fit your requirements perfectly, but are out of your price range. Maybe try to find a pair of used Genelecs since there project studios are always getting shut down these days. I do have to point out that I am basing this opinion on many many hours of...

Yes. You can always use power supplies with extra amperage. It is the same idea as using a 100w amp with speakers that have a max rating of 70w. The overhead is there to keep things clean and avoid voltage drops due to the component maxing out the amperage that the power supply can provide. You...

Make sure to listen to a lot of different amps with those Zu speakers. They are very picky about their power source.

My mistake. I was picturing one of these with the pickups swapped out: Nice guitar either way.

I really like the PAF enabled Jag in the background.

I am really tempted by this Soundesign TX 4372 for $40, but I really don't need it at all. I blame this thread for that. [img]http://images.craigslist.org/5La5Kf5M53M33Ne3Hbc3g80efa94143da1cd1.jpg[img] On another note (sorry for the slight hijack) I would love to hear your guys' thoughts on...

My Martin Logans are on consignment because my room does not allow for anything close to proper speaker placement, and the ML are VERY room sensitive. This means they sounded like junk in my basement. I also missed the sound of moving cones and being able to feel the music rather than just hear...

Mpls is keeping up with the same old routine - disappointing professional sports franchises and all. The big deal around here lately is the Viking stadium debacle, and me trying to figure out where all the good local music is hiding these days. I looked around to find a place to purchase the...

Genelec, Adam, Dyn are the three brands I would recommend for the above sound signature. The Genelec and Adam will be a bit more analytical than the Dyns since they are purpose built for critical listening applications. The Dyn and Genelec are the most forgiving of the 3. All excellent active...

A used Pioneer Elite universal disc player is what I would try to find. Something like a DV45a, DV59avi, DV79AVi or the like. The next level, in my opinion, would be a Lexicon player.

Pioneer Elite N50 with USB Wifi Adapter? There are a lot of options. What is your budget?

I use a Weller WES-51ND and have never had an issue with it. I also use these butane irons for portable irons. Also, pick up a a wire spnge for cleaning the tip. Wet sponges will do nothing other than ruin your soldering tips. The wire sponges are definitely worth the $10.

These are the smallest that I know of: This whole "BOX" concept looks really cool: http://box-designs.com/main.php?prod=cdboxse&cat=digital&lang=en http://box-designs.com/main.php?prod=cdbox&cat=digital&lang=en http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=550837&Q=&is=REG&A=details...

Check out a used Squeezebox classic. It still needs to stream the collection but it does a great job of it.

Are you interested in used equipment or only new? I have a Lexicon RT-20 that would fit your requirements perfectly and would be half your budget. I was using the Lexicon as my main source for awhile, but recently turned back to using an Arcam player because it is a little more musical and...
