| Turntable upgraded power supply vs. PS Power Plant So keep in mind that the PS Audio Powerplant 300 can really only suppport about 210-230 watts output. The 500 doesn't exactly do 500watts, so check that spec.Read this review...http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_9_4/simaudio-i-5-amplifier-10-20... | |
| Wireless for the Keyboard, Not the Computer? I'll throw another mix on how I use my Squeezebox 3 in my system. I have a 3.5TB Thecus N5200pro NAS with my music ripped in loseless FLAC and my media center pc by my video system is running slimserver (Squeezebox Client software) because I'm too... | |
| Turntable upgraded power supply vs. PS Power Plant The earlier PS Audio Powerplant 300,500,1000,1200 had a selectable SIN setting and you could adjust the voltage in increments of 1. This LOCKED the AC output to a FIXED Voltage aka you could set it for 120volts and that's what you got.The newer PS... | |
| Got a New CD Player and Now I'm Bummed The ARC LS25 doesn't have a phonostage 'LS= Line Stage Only' and requires an external phonostage. I was just saying that the higher end LS26,LS26,Ref2 all provide superior soundstaging to the SP16 and LS16.. so both the CD player and phonostage wo... | |
| What's Toshiba replacing the Toshiba HD XA2 with? Leedistad: Yeah, I read that Wall Street Journal interview http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120450428955606405.html?mod=moj_todays_paper from the CEO of Toshiba yesterday stating they would continue to make upscaling DVD players and invest more in ... | |
| What do you think of Vandersteen 5a's? Bofh: When I said the Vandy's sound similar that was a compliment not a dig, I meant like magnepan's sound similar in flavor in which bigger versions definitely sound more dynamic and more detailed... So people don't like magnepans... Just like so... | |
| Got a New CD Player and Now I'm Bummed Sorry to go the other direction but upgrade your preamp, my friend upgraded to an ARC LS25 from your SP16 and it was a huge upgrade in soundstaging depth and width; and, then get a good phonostage. If you change tables, your phonostage will still ... | |
| Sherbourn or Sunfire? I've owned the Sunfire Cinema Grand 225 by 5 channels amp and magnepan 1.6's front and back and it is really boring definitely not bright or harsh... I would stick with your Outlaw amps as they are a SOLID 4ohm design which is perfect for Magnepan... | |
| What do you think of Vandersteen 5a's? Mmike84: what speakers have you owned in the past and what did you not like and what did you like about each... This would help people to understand your tastes...If you get the 5a's make sure you buy the external crossover tails, otherwise you wi... | |
| Upgraded power cord for Vandertseen 5A's? If you haven't dropped in Dedicated 20amp AC circuits for your system; that will provide the best bang for the buck in improvements. I would do this first before spending on powercords for the bass amps. | |
| What's Toshiba replacing the Toshiba HD XA2 with? Rwwear: I know Toshiba Paid Paramount $120 million to go HD-DVD only.... my point was that Sony was more successful by buying both Fox and Warner alliance and that finished off HD-DVD. | |
| Best Speakers to match Ayre V-1xe and K-1xe If you didn't like focus of the Wilsons then you will like the more diffuse soundstage the Vandersteen 5a's throw.(remember you have to add the $1k for the xcrossover otherwise you will fry drivers..), I found the Dynaudio split the difference but... | |
| Dynavector P-75 mods? Islandmandan: thank for the compliments it's been 20 years in the making and lots of mistakes... I have Maxx 1's currently and I look forward to getting them upgraded to Maxx 2's this summer hopefully (Depending on how much vinyl I buy)Are you sur... | |
| Dynavector P-75 mods? The Dynavector is basically all IC's inside and the powersupply external doesn't make a difference inside... You system is pretty decked out (nice work), but I would get a speed controller for your Turntable a VPI SDS or something similar for a be... |
