| PRE/PRO 2 channel analog bypass and SUB I believe that some of the current EAD stuff incorporates bass management for analog use. Not sure if it includes their pre/pro's or just the players themselves.The players also have a very nice analog volume control for direct connection to an am... | |
| Help with Philips 963sa upsampling? You wouldn't happen to be using the 2 separate L/R RCA analog outputs, would you?They are only intended to be connected to a TV, not a quality audio system. You MUST use the 6-channel outputs to get good sound quality and some of this player's adv... | |
| remote control volume solution for Jolida 502B? If I am interpretting your question correctly, your Jolida does NOT have it's own remote control to adjust volume and that's all you need - Yes?In that case, you should consider a Placette Audio RVC that comes standard with a remote control, is ve... | |
| Arcam DV88 Picture Problems As you asked for other experiences, I can tell you that my DV-88P has NEVER given me any problems at all in 2 years of use - picture or otherwise.Perhaps the PAL/NTSC or even the DVD region setting is wrong?? Sounds like it would be worth contacti... | |
| Aspect Ratio Control/DVD Player? I agree that most 'hi-end' players do not offer DVI/HDMI connections or ratio control like some of the cheepies out there. Pretty pitiful if you ask me.They probably focused so much effort on the newer, hi-res audio formats that being state-of-the... | |
| Sim Audio Moon W5 vs. Bryston 4bsst I too have a Sim Titan 5x200 amp. I used to have 4B-ST and 5B-ST Brystons, as well as Pass Labs x-series. The Sim is easily the better amp as described by the other posters.It also runs with almost NO heat output, whether idling or in full-blast H... | |
| I've lost my bass.... You do not mention how far into the room the speakers are placed.As mentioned above, positioning the speakers closer to the wall they back up to will allow the room itself to reinforce the bass response. But too close and things start to get muddy... | |
| Pioneer DV-59 AVi Universal Player I recommend you do some research on avsforum.com. There is alot of info about the comparisons you ask about.When a dealer gave me a brochure about the 59, I got excited and started checking it out. Unfortunately, as soon as I started investigating... | |
| Simaudio titan owners HI Armando-I have a Titan-5 and use the Salamander Synergy racks with excellent results. Your T-7 will stick out the back a few inches due to the 23-inch depth, preventing you from installing the included rear panel on that section of the rack, bu... | |
| About the EMM Labs DAC There is no question that Meitner is at the top of this game. The problem is, the game itself sucks. Even if I could justify the cost of his products and buy them today, I still can't play DVD-Audio or DVD-Video discs without buying some other pla... | |
| About the EMM Labs DAC Irishdog - THANK YOU!! That is the most sane statement I have ever heard concerning the status of digital disc technology.Is it asking too much for a player that is NOT discontinued (SACD-1000), that Meitner does NOT refuse to convert anymore, tha... | |
| TEAC Esoteric DV-50 vs EMC, AUDIOMECA MEPHISTO I suggest you contact Stewart at Sanctuary of Sound in WA state. He is an A'goN featured dealer and authorized dealer for all three of these products.I asked this exact same question of him a few months ago, and had to decide if I wanted to put th... | |
| Will tube amp give more of an analog sound to CD's I am seriously considering a tube preamp to go with my SS amp & CDP. I have always used SS exclusively, but these discussion threads are making me adjust my thinking.What I DON'T understand is : Why are New-Old-Stock (NOS) tubes the only ones ... | |
| Subwoofer Amp Recommendations Both the Talon ROC AK and Thunderbird models (the t'Bird is about $12,000 delivered with the amp) come with the new Crown CTs-600 amp with IQ-PIP interface card. This amp is digital, and has a parametric EQ built-in that you connect to and program... | |
| Audiomeca vs. Audio Aero .Rayhall-I now have a Mephisto II.X player, and can confirm that the new CDM 2.0 transport AND new Anagram II DAC significantly improve dynamics, detail & bass response over the previous models. It seems that "killer dynamics or killer deep ba... |
