| Impressions Channel Islands Audio D-100 monoblocks This seems like as good a time as any to throw in my quick impressions of the D-100s, which I purchased some time ago now. I'm using the amps in a less-than-high-end set up, using a Marantz SR9300 receiver as a preamp and a modified (Audiocom Supe... | |
| Nakamichi dvd 10s- what to replace it with? The Nakamichi is pretty old now (it pre-dated progressive scan, for example) and you'll have plenty of options within your budget that will definitely improve the picture and sound quality, and will also play any sort of disc you throw at it.Model... | |
| Channel Islands D-100 Amplifier My D-100s are due to arrive on Tuesday. Can't wait to check them out! | |
| Channel Islands D-100 Amplifier I thought the idea with a HT pass-through is that when the HT input is selected the AV receiver's volume control is used - the preamp's volume dial would not need to move. Once you switched from the HT input to a different input, such as CD, the p... | |
| Channel Islands D-100 Amplifier That previous comment should have been directed to Gunbei - sorry about that. | |
| Channel Islands D-100 Amplifier Rx8man - it's an interesting thought. The problem is that I would like to keep my stereo and home theater kit combined, if possible. A VPC-1 with ir control would make certainly make it more attractive. I'm not sure whether the passive preamp woul... | |
| Channel Islands D-100 Amplifier I'm planning on using my Marantz SR9300 receiver as a pre for the time being, though will upgrade to a stand-alone unit once the budget allows. I guess the Marantz is probably on the warm side of neutral, so it will be interesting to see what sort... | |
| Channel Islands D-100 Amplifier Well, I bit the bullet and ordered the amps. What's the worst that can happen? They'll presumably take a little bit of time to get here (Australia) but I'll post my findings after I've listened to them.Thanks for the helpful comments which convinc... | |
| Channel Islands D-100 Amplifier I'm looking at using the amps with Elac 207.2 speakers, which I'd describe as open, detailed and neutral in my system, with sacd playback via a modified SA8400 (a two-channel version of the SA8260) and cd playback through the Marantz and a Bel Can... | |
| Channel Islands D-100 Amplifier I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on these. My only concern, sparked by terms such as 'revealing' and 'specific' is that the amps may sound a bit bright to my ears (though 'tubelike' wouldn't necessarily fit that bill). I prefer a slightly ... | |
| Moving to New Zealand from USA Now What????? Forgot to mention NZ's own Plinius gear - www.plinius.com - now there's some industrial-strength electronics! | |
| Moving to New Zealand from USA Now What????? One site you may wish to check is www.audioenz.co.nzIt claims to be NZ's most read hifi magazine and gives some indication of the types/brands of available equipment. Of course, New Zealand does produce some of its own high-end gear - Perreaux (ww... | |
| Channel Islands D-100 Amplifier That's certainly some high recommendations! I guess there's no doubt then that the D-100 would be a significant improvment over the Marantz SR9300's internal amps.I'm located in Australia and have contacted Dusty, who's told me there's no problem ... | |
| Pre-amp with Marantz receiver? Thanks very much for the help. I've got my eye on a Musical Fidelity amp that looks like it would fit the bill quite nicely. |
