| Analogue for Home Theater??? Bacardi, how is the movie soundtrack (which exists on the DVD) converted from its digital form into analogue? | |
| Analogue for Home Theater??? isn't what you're doing just a matter of using the digital processor embedded in the Oppo rather than the one in your Onkyo? If it sound better it's because the Oppo digital processor is better, not because you're using analogue processing. | |
| Audiophiles are older than dirt ok, I score 22 or 25. I am bona fide OTD! | |
| Any TAD-150 Signature Fans Still Out There? I still have mine, and find it perfect in every way for my needs. I find the phono stage to be quite good - at least compared to modestly priced external stages. I use mine in a combined 2 channel and HT room, and the HT passthru is great. I've tr... | |
| has anyone ever listened to a 45lp at 33.3 I did this with a Radiohead EP I bought at a used record store. I assumed it was an LP I had never heard of and played it twice at 33 rpm, all the while thinking it was one of Radiohead's "experiments". Then I read the label and saw it's a 45. Of ... | |
| Cheap but decent preamp ??? agree - B&K Pro 5 or 10. Also B&K CS117 or CS115 - but make sure they include the phono option. | |
| AMC 2100 amps - what's your great bang for the $? I had one a few years ago and they are a real bargain at the prices they sell for (I paid $130 for a new in box unit). I sold it for about what I paid for it (can't recall - maybe $120). | |
| Bellari 129 or phono imput on my onkyo pre/pro I'm not sure what the Bellari is selling for now, but I had one some time ago when the price was $129. At that price it was ok, but there are problems with it. It may be a good choice for you, but realize not everyone had a good experience with it... | |
| Bellari 129 or phono imput on my onkyo pre/pro why is the Belari your only external phono option? IMO there are many other budget phono stages that are better, or at least worth considering. Either way, I'd try/use the Onkyo stage until I decided it wasn't doing the job, then upgrade to an ext... | |
| Totem Forest or Mani-2 signature? I drove my Mani's with a TAD 60 in triode mode - rated at 30 watts. They sounded wonderful, but were capable of only modest volume. This worked great for acoustic music - Jazz, Chamber, etc. Not a rock and roll set up though. | |
| Totem users using Totem cable? thanks Chas, I've tried them in multiple arrangements and they sound best as I have them. The bass is excellent even without the sub - I have the sub crossed over at 31 Hz, and often play without it. The Manis are flat to 30 Hz, so except in music... | |
| Totem users using Totem cable? I have them on a diagonal, and ~4-5ft from the wall. You can see them on my system page. | |
| Totem users using Totem cable? I'm using Totem Bi-wires with my Mani-2s. I've tried others, most notably PS Audio Statement bi-wire. The totems were an improvement, and don't have the bulk of the Statements | |
| Bias on solid state? right you are Grimace . . . I neglected to engage my brain before that post. As for your question - there may be more authoritative responders, but it does affect sound, and also determines class of operation. For example, by B&K M200s are bia... | |
| What are the best small not bookshelf speakers? Totem Sttaf! Compact, small footprint, nice to look at, and sound great in that size room. n You can get them in different color veneer to blend with your other furnishings. |
