| Amp ventilation question Paraneer,The amp would be driving a pair of B&W 805 Nautilus speakers, using Kimber 8TC speaker cable.I am thinking of getting two PM152SB's, and running them in bi-amp mode.That's what I do with my current amps, a pair of older Arcams.Jeff | |

| Music server install: internet over electric lines Sammy, and group....What I decided to do here was buy an Audioengine D2 wireless DAC; I'm using a Kimber Kable USB from my computer; at the receiver end, I'm using an Audioquest Big Sur interconnect to run into my Arcam integrated. I've been very ... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? I drive a 1997 Lexus ES300; paid off a long time ago; I keep it in pristine condition, because I don't want a car payment. This allows me to save up for my audio addiction...which is currently saving up for new amps. Jeff | |
| Shunyata Venom 3 question Folks,Thanks for your responses; Tbromgard....yes, I do know about the Venom "S"; I'm considering buying two for my CD players; the other Venoms will work with my amps.Thanks for the heads-up about Anti Cables; checking out their site now.Jeff | |
| Music server install: internet over electric lines Everyone....thanks for your input; my solution will be to use the NA7004 with my second system, which is my HT set-up with the Marantz SR7005.I can get internet to that location.Thanks,Jeff | |
| Advice on AV Receiver versus Separates Aman4kr4,I think you have two great amps at a great price;Two years ago I bought a Marantz SR7005 - the top-of-the-line av receiver at the time; I bi-amped the two front main channels (you can configure the SR7005 to do that if you're not running ... | |
| The Marantz Pipeline Nonoise....Pivoting my own thread to something else; can one hijack his own thread...?At any rate, I'm a DAC newbie; you seem, like me, to have an affinity for Marantz.Music Direct has a Marantz NA7004 at half-price. I'd like to buy it but would b... | |
| Rack for System and CD player recommendations I would second Nonoises' recommendations; I recently purchased three maple audio racks from Timbernation, stained dark cherry. They're gorgeous, incredibly stable and weigh a ton. Vibration will not be an issue; can't recommend them highly enough.... | |
| B&W 805 distortion question Group,Thanks for the input; I will switch speakers to see if this follows the speaker, or if remains in the right channel.It was more of a static-type-sound that came out of the tweeter...during a stretch of high-pitched vocals at an elevated, but... | |
| The Marantz Pipeline Hello Nonoise,I read your review on that amp and enjoyed it; I found it very informative.You wrote the best line I ever read about an amp, and I'm paraphrasing: " this amp excavates music; it needs a permit." Outstanding.The plan right now is savi... | |
| Marantz PM-15S2b first thoughts Nonoise, Charles1dad,Thanks for the answers.Jeff | |
| Marantz PM-15S2b first thoughts Please excuse my ignorance: I'm fairly new here. What is "set sound?" Is that the sound recorded, and intended, by the musician? | |
| Marantz PM-15S2b first thoughts Nonoise,Thanks for the insight; I've been looking at that integrated amp for several months now; I'm most intrigued about how it would sound in a bi-amp operation, which is how I would use it with my B&W805's. I'm saving up, and will hopefully... | |
| Old Flagship Vs New Mid-Level Receiver I'm looking on the Accessories4less site right now....and there's a Marantz SR7005 receiver for $890. I own one, and for the past two years it's been wonderful.....very musical; this would be quite the buy. Can't recommend it enough...and second t... |
