| Current NAD integrated amps, what are your impressions? Recently I upgraded my NAD C326BEE. I'm not sure why I wanted to, perhaps too much reading on sites like this, but I became curious about the C356BEE and found one here with the DAC installed for a pretty good deal. And of course I had to compare... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Ah yes. Another thread where a cable hater tricks somebody and then goes online to brag about it. Threads like this are a waste of time. Nobody on either side is going to change their minds.The actual test conducted is unclear, but it seems tha... | |
| Schiit taking orders (as of Dec 23) on Freya preamp I've got to say that I am increasingly impressed with Schiit and what they are doing. However, I bought the first cd player and DAC that Emotiva put out, and they both had issues.When a smaller company is putting out new products, I'd take a wait... | |
| Best Cheap Amps for Magneplanar Speakers No, it wasn't a gen 1 problem only. Thinking that since you haven't experienced it means it doesn't exist is neither here nor there. I've read where owners tried to fix the ticking by dismantling the amp and installing rubber washers on the heat... | |
| Best Cheap Amps for Magneplanar Speakers Problems I've read with the XPA -1 make it risky. Owners complain of the heat sinks ticking as they heat up and cool down. How Emotiva could engineer an amp and miss this is beyond me, but there you are. | |
| Entry Level Interconnect Reccomendations Most cable companies believe that, not just Blue Jeans. | |
| Entry Level Interconnect Reccomendations Doesn't Blue Jean teach that cables do not make a difference in sound? | |
| Entry Level Interconnect Reccomendations For anyone reading this thread who also is considering entry level interconnects, it really isn't this complicated! | |
| Request advice-need "brighter" speakers than Totem Hawks I don’t think Totem’s specifications for break in have been mentioned, though I only scanned this thread. It doesn’t appear as if the salesperson mentioned this, but the Hawks needed 60-80 hours at moderate volumes.I did a little searching, but ca... | |
| Paradigm Upgrades Please Help Whoa patsuh, this thread is actually 11 years old! S2's are nice, however. | |
| Great integrated amps with narrow depth under 12 inches? Carlings, you've found the Nad lacks with detail? Have you ever experimented with replacing the preamp jumpers? When I did this on my C326BEE, added highs gave more resolution. I've also owned the C372 and found it laid back, but I never replac... | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? soundsreal, I love Bellingham! We go down a couple of times a year just to hang out. Bellis fair, Fairhaven, that windy 'highway' that goes down to the flats. Also, Whidbey Island and the outlet mall down by Marysville. | |
| Upgrade from Emotiva XPA1 to Bryston 28bsst2 or Pass X350.8 I would also suggest the Parasound Halo line, and for mono blocks, the JC1. I went from an Emotiva XPA amp to a Halo A21, and everything got better. The imaging, the bass, the vocals, the highs, it showed how entry level the Emotiva amps are. | |
| Starting from scratch, passion for "steals" The problem with those Magnepans are the lack of bass. Couple that with a sensitivity rating of 86 and the impedance of 4 ohms, and you get a difficult load as well as little bass response. | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? Drugs are a crutch. If you need one, I guess you need one. |
