| Power Conditioner for your amplifier? Antonio, somehow I was thinking of the newer Hydra( probably because it's what I have), which uses a regular 20amp plug. My bad. Sorry. I can tell you that the latest biggest difference on the amp was when I switched from VH Audio Flavor 4 cord fr... | |
| Musical Fidelity A5 CDP -bass problem Are you driving the 1080 directly from A5(I doubt it) if not what is the preamp? From what I can tell, 1080 amp is pretty efficient with 1.5v 32kOhm input.A5 specs:2.15VRMS o-put 47 Ohms impedanceSomething is wrong here, in your set up. Please spe... | |
| Musical Fidelity A5 CDP -bass problem Could be the way the player integrates with the rest of your system. I heard the A5 at the store and thought it had very good bass. Compared it with Arcam CD33 and Cary 303/300 and the A5 virtually had the similar bass to 303/300. It was definitel... | |
| Power Conditioner for your amplifier? Antoniomachado, let me ask you to please list the power cord you had from the Hydra to the wall and power cord from you DNA-225 into Hydra. Because I had only positive experience with Hydra and DNA-225. I'm just curious what you've been using for ... | |
| Mccormack DNA125 or Belles 150A Hot Rod Hoopster, I have a friend who had his DNA-125 upgraded to Silver and also added a Plitron as an option due to the speakers he has. Silver upgrade should be a very nice step up from the stock amp. You don't know it until you hear one. | |
| When showing your system to others, what do you do 07-06-06: Jaybopeople are always far more interested in my music collection than the equipment.do they attempt to re-arrange it as well? lol | |
| Mccormack DNA125 or Belles 150A Hot Rod Hoopster, you should hear what the DNA-125 Silver with Plitron transformer sounds like. It's a totally different amp, even after just the Silver SMc revision. I think it is more than 3% improvement over the stock amp, which is an achievement all b... | |
| When showing your system to others, what do you do I am never an initiator when it comes to this. I usually let the guest inquire first and show some interest. And if they do, then fine. Other than that, you'll be waisting electricity. To someone who doesn't care about music too much it will make ... | |
| Music out there with good bass Jazz:Patricia Barber - "Modern Cool", "Night Club"Classical:Mahler Symphony no.5 conducted by Riccardo ChailyShostakovich Symphony no.5 conducted by Rostrapovich with National OrchestraRock:Metallica - "Load"Pink Floyd - "The Wall"just to name a f... | |
| ARC LS1, LS2, LS3 , or LS7, which to buy? LS-7 wasn't bad as I remember I listened to it before I bought the LS-15. I believe the LS-7 has no remote control though. If that's not an issue, what John recommended with the Dynamicaps upgrade makes a lot of sense. I upgraded the caps in my LS... | |
| Eliminate system hum I had the same problem. Caused by cable tv coax cable. Try taking the coax cable out of the cable box. Then turn on your system and see if the hum is still there. But don't unplug the cable box from the wall. This will not do. You need to take out... | |
| Mccormack DNA125 or Belles 150A Hot Rod Zaikesman, right on. I've owned the 125 and completely agree with you. A very accurate description of the amp. It is a very neutral amp for the price. I recently sold my DNA-125 and upgraded to DNA-225 due to the fact that the 225 is a better driv... | |
| B&W 803D vs N802 I appreciate what you're saying. I've owned a pair of the N803s for a long enough time to know exactly what these sounds like and what they react to best and worst. So, my opinion, B&Ws Nautilus series of speakers are great speakers and I real... | |
| B&W 803D vs N802 courtvision, I'd have to disagree with you on something here. I think the new 803D sounds more relaxed. I think it's due to the new D tweeter, which is smoother. I audiioned 803Ds in 2 different stores and both times they impressed me as a much sm... | |
| Speakers for Dk design VS-1 Reference mk2 always made me curious how and why someone gets an amp first and then shops for speakers. I think it should be other way around - speakers first, then amp.Having said that, I am pretty certain that 150w/ch into 8ohms should be enough to drive the ... |
