| Bored with my B&W Zepplin Air Thanks for the valuable insights.To be fair to the zepplin its not a bad speaker at all, just wrong application. I thought I needed room-filling sound but realized what I really needed was near-field listening and good imaging. So yesterday, I wen... | |
| Looking for recommendations for a decent AVR Thanks for the cable advice. I can try a new hdmi cable but since the problem is persistent in both the blu-ray and apple tv which use different hdmi cables I doubt that the underlying issue is the cable, unless both cables went bad at the same ti... | |
| Integrated Amplifier Choices for LSA-1 Signature jwglista, that has been my issue. I cannot find any dealer in my city who can demo that specific model of Yamaha. I did find a dealer who can demo the Peachtree next weekend. Like I said earlier, the Yammie looks much better than the Peachtree (at... | |
| Integrated Amplifier Choices for LSA-1 Signature After seriously looking at the Yamaha, I have decide to give Peachtree a try. Just like telescope_trade, the dealer who sold me the LSA's also advised that they are a particulary good match for my speakers because they extend the top end considera... | |
| Integrated Amplifier Choices for LSA-1 Signature dave, jazzfan: the yamaha looks really good. is anyone of you using it with a DAC, if so which one? i'm trying to understand how the overall sound quality would differ between the Yamaha (+ decent dac) and Peachtree Nova 125.Yamaha looks really ni... | |
| Integrated Amplifier Choices for LSA-1 Signature telescope_trade: thanks for the info. very helpful! if i'm not mistaken you were also driving your ushers with a HK 990 at some point. how would you compare it to the peachtree? i'm thinking if i wait out for a few weeks you'll get bored with your... | |
| Amplifier recommendations for LSA-1 Signature After thinking this through I feel my situation is more similar to manoterror. I am also streaming music from my ATV to a mid-level AVR. Since almost all my music is CD quality (apple lossless), hopefully jitter won't be an issue if I keep ATV in ... | |
| Amplifier recommendations for LSA-1 Signature I remember reading in another forum that ATV has terrible jitter issues. Is either the HK or Oppo capable of addressing this problem when connected to Apple TV? Based on Manoterror's account though it seems that its really a non-issue with his set... | |
| Amplifier recommendations for LSA-1 Signature Manoterror, thanks for the suggestion. So from what I understand, you are feeding the HK directly from your Apple TV, letting the HK take care of DAC functionality. Right?So now, thanks to you, I'm facing another dilemma (just kidding). Is the HK'... | |
| Amplifier recommendations for LSA-1 Signature Brownsfan, once again your advice and insight is greatly appreciated.For clarification, I am using the Apple TV to stream music from iTunes via wifi, and other stuff like Netflix or Youtube etc. For DVDs and Blu-Rays, I use a fairly inexpensive Sa... | |
| Amplifier recommendations for LSA-1 Signature Brownsfan and Everest, thanks for all the advice.From the beginning I had an inkling that eventually I'd have to update the pre-pro and amplifier. I thought that adding an external amp will give the best bang for the buck so that's where I should ... | |
| Amplifier recommendations for LSA-1 Signature Sorry for not being clear on the source component. Currently, that setup is not optimal - apple lossless files in iTunes --> Apple TV --> Onkyo. I understand that this setup is lacking in many ways, but I love the convenience of creating pla... | |
| Amplifier recommendations for LSA-1 Signature Looks like not too many people own LSAs :( |
