| mcintosh preamp for 5.1 @stereo5 As per your claim above in regards to your friend’s all Mac 7.1 HT setup that’s simply your opinion or perhaps you haven’t heard true high end HT setup of system. The same applies to your earlier claim that your Mac C2500 tube preamp best... | |
| Looking for a high end integrated to suit Dynaudio contour 5.4's Melbourne, Australia or Melbourne, FL? Also add to your list the following integrateds :Boulder, Esoteric, Luxman, Soulution, CH Precision, Tidal, Ayre, Simaudio Evolution series, Dan D'Agostino Momentum integrated. | |
| mcintosh preamp for 5.1 There isn’t a single Mac preamp that I like and it also applies to their av multi-channel preamp processors (av pre pro). There are much better sounding preamps or av pre pros out there than McIntosh, some of them are cheaper than McIntosh but pro... | |
| Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor @rshad0000 Hhmmm....yeah...that’s odd. Only the video drops out but the audio stays. Wondering what hdmi cable are you using to connect your SSP 800 to your display? Are you using a very long hdmi cable from the SSP 800 to your display? And you sa... | |
| Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor @rshad0000 Weird. Mine is fine. There's been hiccups here and there on occasion it may be related to HDMI handshake issues. I only have the Oppo 205 player. that's the only AV source I have connected to the SSP 800 via HDMI. I split the HDMI outs ... | |
| Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor @rshad0000Thanks. When the video on your SSP 800 was dropping out, what source was it playing from? Was it from your cable tv box or your bluray / 4K UHD bluray player or other AV sources such as gaming consoles, etc? Are you using Oppo UDP-205/20... | |
| Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor @rshad0000So, are you also going to add overhead speakers for Dolby Atmos & DTS-X setup? Yes, while I love the SSP 800 as far as audio performance as it is a superb sounding pre pro but it's time to move on and get something more current in te... | |
| Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor @soix Thanks for the advise.Yes I read great stuff about the MP-50. It is in my short list and it decodes Dolby Atmos & DTS-X that's the most important thing. That's the major reason I want to get rid of my Classe SSP 800 processor cause it do... | |
| Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor @rshad0000 I am also considering the Lyngdorf MP-50 as well as the Datasat RS20i, Trinnov Altitude 16 or 18, Theta Casablanca lVa, and possibly the Meridian Reference 861 v8. But not sure if the Meridian Ref 861 v8 has been updated to accommodate ... | |
| Upgrade from Classe SSP 800 processor @pattemf132I am also considering the Anthem AVM60. Heard great things about its ARC2. Great room correction calibration is paramount in home theater (surround / multi-channels) setup environment. This will be used strictly for home theater in my d... | |
| Opinions on best integrated under 10k? Highly consider the Naim Uniti Nova. It is a digital streamer, DAC, integrated amp all in a single chassis. It retails for $7500 brand new. It will drive your speakers with ease and sounded highly musical. Has superb streamer and DAC. Has built-in... | |
| Recommendations for HT processor with HT bypass @lorenc1You will need an analog stereo preamp that has HT bypass not the other way around. So this HT bypass input on the stereo analog preamp simply would bypass volume control and internal audio circuitry in the stereo preamp and use the volume ... | |
| krell foundation 4k vs. classe sigma ssp mkii @ht4meI still own the Classe SSP 800 paired with all Classe Delta series class AB amps with all new B&W 800 D3 series speaker sysyem in my dedicated HT room. I love the SSP 800 sounded phenomenal for both surrounds (home theater) and stereo. B... | |
| Integrating an Oppo 205 into system and need pre-amp and connection advice I forgot to add the Anthem AVM60 pre pro ($3k). This is an absolute steal. Its ARC2 (Anthem Room Correction) is regarded one of the best and it really works very well and way outperforms the Audyssey Advance Pro used in the Marantz AV8802/8805. Th... | |
| Integrating an Oppo 205 into system and need pre-amp and connection advice What is your budget for a new pre pro (preamp processor)? Besides the Krell Foundation and the Marantz AV8802/8805, I would highly recommend getting the following pre pros :* Bryston SP3 ($9500 brand new). It lacks room EQ but excellent sounding p... |
