| What's the best 5 channel for less then 1K? Used Parasound hca-1206 for 700 to 800 used. Built like a tank, six channels (135w > 8 ohms, 200 > 4), four channels are bridgeable (making 350 watts) and that leaves a pair of channels for a set of stereo speakers in that configuration. And... | |
| Musical Speakers that can provide dynamics for HT Used Linn speakers are an excellent value. The Kabers are very nice sounding and have good bass. The keilidh are also excellent at less than half the price used. Both benefit from a quality sub. I use Keilidh and find them an excellent value for 6... | |
| Ditch the internal xover and use the sub.... A friend uses two subs. The first comes out of the sub output from his denon home theatre receiver (avr 3801); this is a McIntosh HT-2 passive sub (dual 12" woofers) powered by two channels of a Parasound hca 1206 (bridged for 350 watts). This pro... | |
| Speaker suggestions wanted a pair of used Linn Kabers would work well...Linns sound wonderful....spendor sp 1/2 would work well, too but might be a bit bass shy. A sub is required in any event with this budget | |
| MUSIC THAT CHANGED YOUR LIFE grateful dead...they were absolutely dedicated to getting the best sound possible at their shows..they succeeded most of the timethe live recordings I made with vintage microphones (tubes, of course) sound spectacular on the tube gear we are using... | |

| Which AV processors have an analog pass-thru? the sony es dolby digital processor from the mid 90's has an analogue pass through. But, I use a DB Audio passive switch box (five rca ins, one out); the parasond psp1500 AV preamp and the McIntosh C22 preamps to into the DB Audio box. The output ... | |
| Best 12k Home Theater Audio Setup As a basis for a home theatre system a used parasound hca1206 amp (120x6/8ohms, 200x6/4ohnms) is hard to beat at a used price of 7/800 (orig was 2k; sigh..I bought one new). I run a hybrid theatre/two channel system connected with a DB Audio passi... | |
| SPECTRAL 100/DMC 20 preamp comments.... I once owned a dmc6 preamp; sold it to finance a home theatre system. I still suspect that were I to acquire a spectral preamp/amp (balanced models) that I would not much miss my audio note tube gear on a day to day basis. I would miss looking at ... | |
| Are you Guys Rich or What!? I am glad a friend of mine, divorced who gave up his expensive car hobby, has a reference Audio Note system built around the DAC 5 and the Ongaku; only non audio note item is the Levinson reference CD transport. This system is 150 grand of pure he... | |
| Cables that make no sense... Anybody here a fan of using one makers products for the whole food chain? IE, source to speaker? I am considering acquiring Audio Note interconnects (not the pure silver; too damn expensive) to mate up my other audio note stuff. I've used all Linn... | |
| Which DAC is supposed to be better? If you do not require more than 48khz a used Audio Note DAC 1.1x or DAC 2.1 is a wonderful unit and will delight you. The used ones have been superceded and you can usually pick something for 30 to 40% of original retail. I use a DAC 1.1x that I w... |
