| My Bad T 748 has power but will not send sound to the speakers . Please help . Or else the HDMI board failure or HDMI switching issue. very common issues with NAD av receivers & HT processors. NAD home theater gears (AV receivers & processors) are well known for that. they are buggy, so are Rotel's & Cary Cinema... | |
| Naim Audio system owners - What speakers are you using with Naim? That's what I like about Naim electronics they sounded very natural musical smooth with a touch of warmth (intoxicated warmth) punchy full rhythmic sound. They excel really well in PRAT yet maintain its relaxed quality without sounding strain or a... | |
| Anthem AVM 60 vs Classe SSP 800 @dmk_hifi You could convert DSD to PCM in your Oppo and output multimately-channel PCM via HDMI to the Sigma SSP but I wouldn't recommend doing that as it would degrade the sound quality of your SACD. SACD (DSD) should be outputted in native DSD. ... | |
| Anthem AVM 60 vs Classe SSP 800 @dmk_hifi The Marantz AV8805 or 8802 are great choices when used for surround sound movies (home theater) but would not sound as good or as musical sounding as the Classe SSP 800 or Sigma SSP for music (both stereo & mc music). I suggest you ... | |
| Where do I start!?! In that small listening room (12×13) I assume you are only doing 2ch (stereo) for listening to music only. If you’re only doing stereo why in the world did you end up with a Denon AV receiver in the first place? Just get a very good quality stereo... | |
| Anthem AVM 60 vs Classe SSP 800 Classe SSP 800 will be superior sounding and lot more refined sounding than the Anthem AVM60. If you don't care about 4K video, Dolby Atmos, DTS-X setup, go with a used SSP 800. However, the Anthem has a phenomenal ARC2 (Anthem Room Correction). I... | |
| Naim Audio system owners - What speakers are you using with Naim? @gavman1 I've heard the Naim Statement preamp & monoblock amps paired with the Focal Utopia Grande Evo iii at last year RMAF (Rocky Mountain Audio Fest) with Naim ND 555 streamer/DAC + 555 PS DR power supply unit served as digital front end so... | |
| Recommendations for a new integrated amp for Vandersteen 3a speakers A used Musical Fidelity M6si will be perfect for your Vandy speakers. | |
| Naim Audio system owners - What speakers are you using with Naim? Dynaudio too. | |
| Naim Audio system owners - What speakers are you using with Naim? @joeinid PMC & Focal speakers will have best synergy with Naim electronics. Ever since Focal acquired Naim, Focal has been voicing and tuning their speakers using Naim electronics. B&W will pair well with Naim too. Naim also makes awesome... | |
| Naim Audio system owners - What speakers are you using with Naim? In my main reference setup I’m using the Magico M6 paired with the Naim Statement NAP S1 monoblock amps & Naim Statement NAC S1 linestage analog preamp. They sounded fabulous together. In my bedroom setup I have the Naim Uniti Nova paired with... | |
| AudioQuest Niagara 1000 and Bose Lifestyle? Yes, Niagara 7000 or 1000 would make significant difference in high end hifi setup/system but not on Bose. What is your main system? Yes, B&W 685 S2 surround sound speaker system with either Marantz or Pioneer Elite receiver would definitely a... | |
| AudioQuest Niagara 1000 and Bose Lifestyle? Not worth getting an Audioquest Niagara 1000 or any power line conditioners / distributors designed and built for hifi or high end audio or high end HT if it's for Bose lifestyle. Just stick with what you currently have. Not worth getting Audioque... | |
| can someone answer me this..... A combination of bad tubes and a source component (Oppo 203). Replace the bad tubes and upgrade from the Oppo 203. I think the Oppo 203 is your weakest link in the chain. Front end source component(s) are the most important element in hifi chain. | |
| Recommendations for modest budget For your budget, you should look for all used gears, used AV receiver & used speakers and used cablings, etc. Another advantage of buying used gears is most likely they are already fully broken in in the case of electronics & speakers, and... |
