| Anyone have the Answer? Try this: find a dealer who will let you audition one of those really pricy power cords. If the cord makes a noticeable improvement, your power is dirty and a "machine" will help. Good Luck! | |
| Kef Blades (1), being auditioned...please share your experience. Hi jay53! I heard them at CES when they were introduced and liked them very much. Play around with placement and try angling them in so the "beams" cross over a foot or so in front of your listening position. Good luck! | |
| Sub cable length? Hi Colindshots! All the responses so far are fine. but not specific enough for a newbie. Length is not a problem; just use 14 gauge, or heavier (lower numbers). I have used 14 gauge solid core wire in 70+ foot runs in auditorium installations wit... | |
| DAC/w Volume control + Power amp or DAC + Integrated? Hello czar 2000. I'm using choice 1, keep it simple. SMSL M500 hs volume control and headphone amp, not pricey, sounds good. | |
| CD or Streaming... am I missing out? Hi mglik1 I never heard streaming that was as good as a CD. Compare Nina Simone's "Baltimore" with the streaming versions - doesn't sound like the same session. Why bother? New music, I know. Good Luck! | |
| Would This Amp Be Worth The Cost? Hi Greywolf. At least check out the Starke A4-320 amp. Priced right, a USA company, sounds as good as the Purifi modules in the NAD M33 and the LKV power amp. Super value! 4 (bridgeable) channels for the price of 2. Linear power supply, no switc... | |
| Is my anti-skating too strong. Hello UDOG. As you may have guessed by now, there is some controversy about anti-skate force! I did not read all the responses, but they quickly deteriorated into petty squabbling and personal put downs. I am sorry for that nonsense. The term "an... | |
| Why do you need so much power? The same reason people drive 250+ horsepower cars - effortless performance. The Emotiva has WAY more power than you will need, so it will never strain. Another BIG factor is that Emotiva's are reasonably priced. I have an 8 wpc amp that costs more... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options Hello lcherepkai! I recently replaced my 300B, 8 wpc, Elekit 8600-RS with a Starke Sound A4-320. Four channels (can be bridged), Class D, absolutely glorious sound - a rival of the Purifi Audio module in the NAD M33 and the LKV power amp. It beat... | |
| Help! Receiver or preamp? Im overwhelmed... Hello jsbranham7! I'm in just your situation, HT and surround sound music, hooray! I recommend the Emotiva MC-700 preamp/control center. It offers first class sound, but fewer decoding choices than a surround sound receiver. A used near top or to... | |
| Living in Japan. Any opinions on amplifiers? Try to find an amp with switchable line voltage. When I was there, most amps could take 100,110,120, 220 volts. That way you can bring it home when you come back to the USA. | |
| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? Don't be silly! Find a nice rug you like and hang it on the wall from a one inch spacer. Maybe a couple of rugs on different walls (on the floor if it's not already carpeted. | |
| Shunyata interconnect cables experience Hello jmphotography. The usb cable does make an amazing difference. They carry very high frequency information. Audio interconnects do not. There will not be the stunning difference, but better cables will improve things. Try used ones from Used C... | |
| Any way to listen to wav or high bit files with anything approaching audiophile sound? Hello Soulgoober. Someone has prejudiced you against digital sound. How sad. Do you have access to a computer? You will need one. "Youtube" has recordings of an enormous number of albums recorded by fans on their own equipment. Most of them are b... | |
| A question to the Sound Engineers out there Most albums are mixed for listening in cars or radio or earbuds these days. The artists must hear the playback and it must be loud and punchy. Serious music may be recorded with critical listeners in mind, if we're lucky. Listen to the Lori Lieber... |
