| Does good DAC improve sonics of low end transport No question about it, a good DAC will improve the sound of a "crappy" transport. But its also true that a good CDP will sound better, too. What I'm trying to say is don't get carried away with a DAC to the exclusion of a good CDP. The "features &a... | |
| what the THX ? It stands for Thomas Holman's Xperiment.This guy made a great amp & preamp in late 70's. Later, he went to work for George Lucas's Skywalker Ranch & developed the THX standards. | |
| Done and did it again Wait until you see used pair on eBay, etc. Price is likely to be less than you could send in & repair speakers for. | |
| bright up "warm sound" speakers Above responses good!You also might want to keep eyes open for used parametric equalizer. I know it's not audiophile correct, but am pretty sure it won't break bank & it just might make sound a little brighter. Just exercise "sound" judgement. | |

| 8 Time Grammy Award Winner? For Real? Unforetunately, I think most Grammy Award "Winners" are based more on CD sales than recording merit. What do you expect? | |
| Does anyone have similar problem with Pass Amp? It doesn't sound normal. Try reversing pre-outs. Does the left speaker make the low hum. I think you might be blaming wrong component. See an "audio troubleshooting guide." | |
