| Budget amp for NHT 2.5i - suggestions? These speakers are indeed revealing... which calls for quality DACs and preamp/amp. The NHT2.5i can be biamped quite easily... and I know of many who used tube amps for highs/midrange and a solid state for the bass. I don't know your budget, but I... | |
| Power cord for MHDT Havana Well, I have strongly agree with Mingles. There is something in your system (or room/setup) that is not allowing it to show its full potential. I recommend doing a little experiment; pick up an inexpensive passive preamp (e.g., creek, CI)-even bet... | |
| Sound Card Recommendations for the iMac I ended up reverting back to the previous version (from 7.0 back to 6.5). My wife later got an iPod that was incompatible with 6.5 so I upgraded again, (7.5), and had the same issues all over again. Went to Songbird, which was the only Windows pla... | |
| Sound Card Recommendations for the iMac Did you upgrade iTunes recently? Have you tried playing music through different players on the iMac? If it is garbled distorted sound it could just be a software issue, I had terrible sound on a Windows XP version of iTunes after upgrading to a ne... | |
| Is it normal for the woofer to move in/out slowly Well, some Tube preamp manufactures recommend them turned on all the time, I've had mine on for over 2 years with original tubes... | |
| Preamp predicament Has2be is right on. The Super Zeros have some nice qualities (I had them in the past, they are not bright), especially how they image and render the human voice. But they have no bass. I too believe your problem is the Yamaha sub, which is not abl... | |
| modest DAC for iMAC+iTunes? Check out Nuforce Udac, USB in only though. Can't be beat for the money ($99), considering it uses the new Sabre dac chip. | |
| How to hook up subwoofer You are correct. As the sub uses internal amplifier, it does not draw any real power from the amp binding posts already connected to the speakers. | |
| How to hook up subwoofer Do a search, this question comes up frequently.If your Arcam has "pre-out," you could connect rca interconnects from there to your sub. Alternatively, if your sub has high-level inputs (speaker in), you could run a second pair of speaker wire from... | |
| Connecting a subwoofer..... Thomas, does your sub have "speaker in" and "speaker out" binding posts? If so, you can just connect speaker cables from the same binding posts you hook your speakers to on the Naim Nait... to the "speaker in" (don't worry about "speaker out") and... | |
| Wadia ITransport PC = Power Cable. The idea that aftermarket Power Cable using Voodoo adapter will improve the sound. Hope this helps clarify things.On the Canare, I read that same review, and unfortunately stuck with Canare for some time. When I tried something d... | |
| PS Audio III Cullen Modified or Wavelength Proton It so funny when you ask a specific question, and get an unrelated answer! I can't comment on the Proton, but I recently got the Cullen modified Datalink III, and I couldn't be happier, very audible improvement over everything I've tried in the past. | |
| advice on Dual Voltage I believe Creek Destiny Integrated is dual voltage. Also check out Linn amps, as these are more often than not dual voltage. | |
| Triangle Titus Xs Well, not sure what you mean by unique sound. To me they are very transparent, fast, revealing, clean. That may, however, not necessarily be a good thing if your other component are not up to the task; When I introduced Triangles into my system se... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers? Second the Triangles. You could also explore some floor standers like Triangle Antal and Celius... 92 db sensitivity and easier to drive than the Cometes. |
