Any comments on upsampling? I ordered and received a MSB Link DAC III on Thursday and installed it in my system. I used a decent coax digital cable (Tributaries Silver)to go from the digital out on my Rotel RCD 1070 to the dac. This dac upsamples to 24/96. I adjusted the ana... | |
Preamps: Rogue v. VTL v. Blue Circle Kck,My recently purchased Blue Circle Audio 21.1 preamp (w/Shallco attenuator)has all the attributes you require.I've paired it with an Anthem MCA 20 amp with outstanding results IMHO. | |
Studio 100's need preamp/amp . Sunfire or NAD? Go with Anthem MCA 20 (200 wpc X 2). Great bang for the buck amp. Also, it should be a great match with your Paradigms IMHO. I have MCA 20 and MCA 30 matched to my Monitor Audio Silver Series speakers. Sounds awesome. | |
Speaker Upgrade Suggestion Tvad: I will try to audition the Von Schweikert's in my area (Northwest Indiana/Chicagoland).Rtn1: I don't know about he 2.4's break-in. The electronics were Rotel RSP-1066 pre/pro and Rotel RMB 1075 amp. These speakers seemed to throw a very low ... | |
A question about Anthem amps? I concur with Cosmic. I have the MCA 20 for my mains and the MCA 30 for my center and surrounds. My speakers are Monitor Audio Silver Series. The Anthem amps are a great match with these speakers. | |
Real "Bookshelf" speaker 4 bookshelf or wall-mount Monitor Audio GR 10's are great sounding "bookshelf" speakers! Also, heard Revel M20's that sound great. IMHO of course. Listen for yourself. Both of these are in the $1500-$2000 range new. | |
Outlaw, Rotel, or??? Definately listen to Anthem MCA 50. I have the MCA 20 and MCA 30 (i'm trying to keep two channel somewhat seperate). I have Monitor Audio silver series speakers (Canadian) and they are a great match! | |
Underestimated, song, artist or group '' gems'' ? Sonicbeauty, I don't know how old you are (I'm 38) but give Steve Forbert a listen. His cd "American In Me" (1998)is one of my all-time favorites. It's strong and great songwriting on it. I second The Tragically Hip recommendation. Beth Orton has ... | |
Your ONE all time favorite love song? "Have I Told You Lately That I love You" - Van Morrison | |
Blue Circle BC 21.1 vs. Cary SLP 308 Monk and Esoxhntr, thanks for comments!My amplification is Anthem MCA-20 (200 wpc). I love this amp's presentation and dead quiet operation. My speakers are Monitor Audio Silver S10's (which I may be upgrading to Gold Ref 60's or Proac in the near... | |
CD Player modifications- Improved Sound? Can any of you provide with approximate costs of these upgrades and exactly what was modified? I feel the Rotel RCD 1070 has a "warm" or "thickish" type sound. I very much like the sound but was just wonderin' if the mods would open the player up ... | |
Additional amplification? Point taken! So now it looks like Rotel RB 1080, Parasound 1500a or Anthem MCA-2. Any other thoughts and/or suggestions?Tim | |
Additional amplification? Anyone out there with thoughts on Crown or Crest pro-audio amps in lieu of the Rotel or Parasound products?Crown CE-1000 seems like a great value!Thanks in advance,Tim | |
Additional amplification? Thanks Kemp! |
