| Advice on Family Room Music/Movie System Our family is moving into a new home in about a month. I'm thinking about a second system because the new house will have a basement room that could be a dedicated listening room so I've been thinking about the second system for the main level fam... | |
| Advice on Family Room Music/Movie System Thanks everybody for the suggestions so far.I definitely would consider a used receiver, especially since they lose value so quickly. The space in the room is the big issue. There are no shortage of quality monitors that can be paired with a subwo... | |
| Advice on Family Room Music/Movie System Thanks for the ideas so far.I will probably lean away from active monitors because there is so much less to choose from than traditional speakers.How good does a phantom center channel sound on movies? It would certainly simplify things. I'm favor... | |
| Housing Floorstanders in Cabinets Thanks for the responses. Shadorne, I'll looked at the pictures of your virtual system, it's very nice! My goal is to achieve something like you have...a cabinet that hides the system and looks like it could be part of a library. I'll keep in mind... | |
| Any vets among the Audiophiles here? USAF 1987-2008. I bought a pair of Linn speakers during flight school in 1989 but ever had the front end to do them justice. Lately I'm putting together an all Linn system with Ninkas, a Trikan and the old Helixes.I flew airplanes most of the time... | |
| What's the best Sony CD/SACD player? OK, so what is an example of a proper decoding processor? And how many would perform better than the analog out of the 5400ES?Also, if I have it right, the XA9000ES and XA777ES offer multi channel analog out, while the SCD777ES and 5400ES do not. ... | |
| What's the best Sony CD/SACD player? So is there any reason to look at older Sony units like the SCD-1 or XA9000ES vs. the new 5400ES? Seems like used XA9000ES players are around $1000. | |
| What's the best Sony CD/SACD player? I forgot to mention in the last post, I also have a Trikan center and old Helix speakers for rears so I would like to stick with a multi channel preamp. I will use the system for movies and 2 channel music. The 9100ES will stay for movies unless I... | |
| What's the best Sony CD/SACD player? Jylee,Nice system you have there. It looks like you use the the Unidisk SC as a disk player only. Have you ever used it as a preamp? If so, how would you rate it?To be more specific, I have Linn Ninka speakers and C5100 amp, the 9100ES player and ... | |
| Linn Advice Please If you choose to upgrade to 109s, another possibility for expanding to 6 channels would be keeping the 4200 and adding a used 2100. All Linn amps have the same gain so you can mix and match.Linn suggest running the best amps into the tweeter/mid r... | |
| New Linn Majik-i or Naim Nait 5i with Linn Ninkas Well, I'm definitely leaning toward the Naim. The local Linn and Naim dealers are different. I have a good relationship with the Linn dealer since I've purchased several things from him. I'm sure I could work out a good demo with him. The Naim dea... | |
| New Linn Majik-i or Naim Nait 5i with Linn Ninkas Thanks for the inputs. Knownothing...your observations on the Nait are consistant with what you hear everywhere, that it has a great musicality about it. And it's pretty reasonably priced and holds it's value on the used market. As far as the Linn... | |
| best small room 2 channel set up for under $2ooo My young son's name is McKennan, nicknamed "Mackie". Stupid reason to buy Mackie monitors for an office? I guess I can think of dumber reasons. | |
| Ayre CX-7e vs. Bryston BCD-1 While this post is not helpful regarding this question, I wanted to second how good Gifted Listener is! It is owned and operated by an individual and he is great to work with. I have purchased several items from him long distance and he has cheerf... | |
| pro logic unit instead of 2 channel preamp? One additional benefit of a pre/pro vs a 2 channel preamp is that the internal DAC would almost certainly improve the sound quality of your wireless music player. You mention wireless iTunes which leads me to believe that you are using an Airport ... |
