| Optimal volume range on CJ preamp? No, on the contrary, some say pre amps sound their best when "opened up" (i.e. higher in the volume range). And I have to admit that has been my experience, for whatever its worth. | |
| unison intergrated what speakers? I am using Triangle Antals with great results, very dynamic, transparent, and great bass. However, the Antals may be too bass heavy for your room. The six moon audio review of the Unico did indeed recommend this combination, you might try smaller ... | |
| Ideas for short interconnects. Those are called jumpers and some cable manufacturers make them, Audioquest I think. This may make a significant improvement, there are threads here and/or on Audio Asylum that discuss the immense improvements jumpers like this make for the highly... | |
| Best preamp is no preamp: always true? Not at all always true. It really depends on the driver stage of the source, which is often a cheap OP amp. Furthermore, volume controls on CDP are often in the digital spectrum, which means that when you lower the volume from full, you are affect... | |
| Happy New Year fellow Audiophiles How about more MUSICALITY and enhanced musical experiences!!Happy new year everyone!! Dont forget that we are a unique rare breed with obsessions that most people don´t understand! And this coming from a Shrink!Best,Árni | |
| Creek OBH-12 vs Creek OBH-22 passive preamp I would think that creek would have put its pride into improvements between models... and the OBH-12 has some shortcomings... how about the OBH-22 being "quite BETTER" ?? | |
| Help choose a power amp It sounds odd that movies are OK... but no bass with music. It is often the other way arround. Is there a sub in your setup?? more info would be helpful. | |
| Sony 777ES digital or analog best for audio? It is definitively worth your effort to test it out. Yes, you could pick up some Signal Cable interconnects to connect it analog, just make sure that you give it some time to solidify or "burn in" before comparison. You should also check out Aural... | |
| Integrated Advice vs. Present Adcom Combo I second the Audio Refinement Complete (used). It has received very good reviews, and based on my personal experience of the Adcom GFP 565 (was a big bottle neck- killed by Creek passive), I think there would be a significant improvement. | |
| PAL Format Video vs. VHS NTSC Also check this siteDVDoverseas.com | |
| Volume Control Conrad Johnson DR-1 I would assume that the DR-1 would reset its digital volume control to max whenever it would be turned on and off. If you happen to have another transport/player arround that you could also plug into the DAC, or just another source, switch between... | |
| Toshiba 4960 as a DVD-A transport Ray, these players modded will smoke your MSB! No kidding, no comparison. There are threads on Audio Asylum where these players, modded by RAM (about $500) are reported to sound as good as the Linn Unidisk. | |
| Philips 963 SA -transport Is it modded by Ric Schultz at EVS? You might be better of looking at his current projects, which take the sound far beyond the modded 963 SA for less money. tweakaudio.comArni | |
| Affordable HT setup $800-$1400 HELP Most of the theater low frequency is above 30Hz. Given that two subs generally integrate much better than one, I think two subzeros might be a better option. The 6i will probably play louder and move more air.. but given your mother... the advanta... | |
| Toshiba 4960 as a DVD-A transport Look for Samsung HD 841 on Ebay. it is essentially the same player as the Toshiba 4960, which is a rebadged cheaper version of the Samsung. The Samsung looks nicer, and has a simpler interface with DVD'As and SACDs. It should be available for less... |
