| What is it about the Cary SLI-80? Mjcmt, good for you . The bong and the Columbian Gold were left behind along with the Woodstock era. We are clean audiophile people. "Lucy and the Sky with Diamond" is a just a part of the history . Now, let's converse some more. | |
| which budget integrated amp Rotel, NAD or other Temporary solution ? go for the Rotel Ra1062 if you can live with a bit forwarding sound but good bass and clean hi/ warm mid. I tried some NAD stuff back in the 80s and never could live with them. Do not like cheesy plastic knobs and less than de... | |
| What is it about the Cary SLI-80? Any time I stop by a local dealer, I always have to pause and listento the Cary SLI-80 driving the booksheld JM labs and always have an urge to order one. Clean, clear and musical..yes, the Cary SLI-80 could be very addictive as Azaud said, indeed... | |
| An honest opinion about upgrading? Philjolet or PhiloJolet, you get me right on the spot, brother. This is a never end vicious cycle. I took a break from 2 channel audio and try something difference ( H/T application). After finishing my Pio Elite system with an old 32" LCD and aft... | |
| An honest opinion about upgrading? Please do not get me wrong, Rogue makes some very good products for the money, it's a matter of personal preference here. It is subjective and bias when come to 2 channel audio. John Crossett recommended the Bryston 4 Bsst and the Audio Reseach SP... | |
| An honest opinion about upgrading? I had the Rogue 99 magnum pre and a pair of mono block 120 for a few months and while the 99 pre is pretty popular by demand, I found it was not very detail and transparent. Couple of buyers listened to it with my ML SL3 and they came with the sam... | |
| Describe the ideal high end audio dealership 1. I prefer a brick and motar audio hi-end dealer to big audio chains, even though they may have limited inventory on display. 2. Attitude : (A )I would never tolerate the snobby attitude of the owner/salesman who would implicitly or explicitly pu... | |
| How to unleash the optimum power of a receiver? I am listenning to my budget Pio A35r intergrated right at this moment. At 45WPC, at the same set up ( speakers, source, cables...), the Pio A35r intergrated at between 10 and 11 o'clock position sound much louder and more musical than my 130 WPC ... | |
| How much weight can an upstair room can hold? Leatherneck 1812, thank you for the assurance . Now I have something to show to ther other half that the crack on the garage ceiling does not come from my heavy gear located in the bedroom above. It's bad enough to be confined " out of sight" thes... | |
| How to unleash the optimum power of a receiver? Btarianto, I believe the -25/-20 dial on the master volume that you refer to really does not mean much about the quality of the sound. If this is your concern, the best thing to do is to get a RadioShack SPl meter to set your SPL level at optimum ... | |
| How much weight can an upstair room can hold? Thank you, guys and thanks to a friend who warned me. Yes, I just now notice a crack about 6 " on the ceiling of the garage where I have put my main rack on the carpet floor in the room above . I wonder what kind of house Kimball Hills built but t... | |
| Do the Audio gods shine upon you? I do not knows it's the audio God or not but my system sounds much better in PM time. I live in a surburban area and the neighbourhood is pretty quite and secluded from heavy traffic but during the AM time, my votage fluctuates constantly from 119... | |
| What is consensus on Pioneer Elite sound quality? If you need a blueray player that can deliver excellent 2 channel analog, you need to grab the PE bdp51fd. Run, not walk to a BB nearby if they have any left. Retail $499.00, it can be had NIB for $149.00. I 've two DBP51fd units which I use as a ... | |
| Definitive Technology Monitor 450 Yeah,the SM 450 and Elite RC07 2 channel direct audio is a bit bright and little bit thin on Diana Krall vocal. This combination is for H/T application. Neither harsh and nor sibilant as I recall as the BP6/BP8 I once had in the 80s. The bp10 is a... | |
| Definitive Technology Monitor 450 I have the same exeprience at the BB/ Magnolia with their Denon ARV however after I bought a SM450 on line ,I am very happy with it. My modest bedroom system is nothing fancy but the Pioneer Elite BDP 95 ( anolog out) and the Rotel Ra 1062 with a ... |
