| Subwoofer info I don't own any of those subs, but I have a Rythmik F15, not the F15HP (and also a pair of F25s) and two SVS SB13 Ultras. The F15 is not that big or heavy. I have mine in my office system.No experience with the Paradigm subs, I've never heard on... | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification Funny, I haven't read anyone comment about having owned both class d and a-a/b. I'm very interested in what they think. This thread, as well as the entire audiogon forum, is populated with either/or, one or the other, with very strong advocate... | |
| Sub recommendation to augment Klipsch La Scala's ??? There are a lot of great options for "musical" subwoofers.What size is your room? What's your budget? Do you have a preference in terms of connections (speaker/RCA/XLR)? Music only or music + movies? Any placement / WAF issues?Ported subs can ... | |
| Help me decide on phono preamp The Manley Chinook is what I use in my main system. I haven't done an A/B comparison of the Chinook and the Nova Phonomena, so can't speak to a direct comparison between the two, but the best way I can describe the Chinook is that it is more "mus... | |
| Subwoofer HUMMMMM Sorry, I missed the part about even when "nothing is connected". I've had my subs hum because of a bad cable or poor connection, but if you don't have a cable connected... | |
| Subwoofer HUMMMMM It could be as simple as a bad cable or connection. How loud is the hum? Does the sub still function? | |
| Music streamer with no DAC and no storage? @thyname I’ve streamed from my Oppo BDP-105 and 103 and a Marantz NA6005 and listen to a lot of digital music from my network using a number of different DACs. Have you streamed from a Node 2? There’s always something "better", but the Node 2 is v... | |
| Music streamer with no DAC and no storage? @thyname Your phono pre / turntable analogy is pretty much what I have done with my Bluesound Node 2. It's going into a $3500 DAC and coming out some $6500 speakers. I think it sounds wonderful. Things don't always have to cost thousands of do... | |
| Sunfire Standard or Signature Edition I owned a Sunfire Cinema Grand Signature 405 X 5 amp for a while and it was signed on the front. I don't know if that is the case with all the Sunfire amps. | |
| Help me decide on phono preamp According to reviews the phono stage in the Marantz is very nice. It's hard to to say whether you could improve on it at your budget. What you will probably get with a separate phono stage is more options for loading and gain settings.The Nova pho... | |

| Can A Network Player/Streamer Be Hooked Up to Old School Receivers Yes, most have analog outs. | |
| Rythmik subwoofer @jetter I think the SB12-NSD is a really nice sub. I'm listening to mine right now and for the small room it's in, it's perfect. The room is maybe 12' X 15'. It does a nice job of filling in the bass for my Canton monitors. I have the gain se... | |

| Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result? @stuff_jones kahlenz provided a good explanation. Suffice it to say that in any of my systems if there is a bass line coming from a particular spot in the soundstage it images correctly and I have no problem picking it out. Most of the frequen... |
