| Integrated Amp Jumpers Knownothing, thanks for your insight. I favor the sound of the Diamondback also when used as jumpers. I first used a 1.5m Diamondback as an amp/pre-amp jumper, which I replaced with a .5m King Cobra. The Diamondback was much more enjoyable as it w... | |
| Integrated Amp Jumpers I appreciate all of your insight. Thanks! | |
| NAD 2200 vs NAD 272 for 2 channel music I have the NAD 2200, which I have owned going on 23 years. I also purchased the NAD C372 int-amp, which is the same amp as the 272 for a second system. I see no advantage in paying more for the 272 over the 2200 when it comes to sound quality. The... | |
| How good is the Onkyo DX-7555? I have one (Onkyo DX-7555) and I am very happy with it. The sound is very natural and lifelike in my system. It is built like a tank and looks great too. No complaints here at all. I also use the NAD C372, NAD C162 and an old NAD 2200. I replaced ... | |
| Subwoofer or Bi-Amp? Hello again and thanks for all the replies. I also thought it might be of some help to inform everyone that my application would be a two channel music only system. Thanks again. All of the responses have been enlightening. | |
| Subwoofer or Bi-Amp? I appreciate all of the responses so far. I had another subwoofer question as well. The sub I heard playing alone, with no other sat/full range speaker online sounded very muted and more resonant sounding as opposed to a very clear distinct sound ... | |
| What makes up an I feel that the musicians/artist make the song pleasant to the ear. Not necessarily the equipment. As stated above in various ways in the various post, a great song on a lousy system still sounds good because of the song itself. A lousy song on gr... | |
| What makes up an Wait. They actually used the term "High end" budget systems. hmmm | |
| What makes up an After reading all the post I walk away with the following about hifi: Hifi is not based on cost but rather more of an experience and can be achieved at low to moderate expence. The goal to achieve is to obtain equipment that achieves high resoluti... | |
| What makes up an Getting off the subject a bit. Does some of the audio systems we own sound better than some live performances we hear in terms of sound quality? I know an audio hi fi system can not normally reproduce the emotion of a live performance (at least no... | |
| Power Cord Question Knownothing, I agree that the power cord directly to the wall sounds better. No compression effect and more resolution especially notable in the treble ranges. Guitar riffs sound clean along with cymbals and other sibilant sounds. I suppose one of... | |
| Best Speakers match for NAD C372 I have a C372 that I use with a demo pair of Polk Lsi15's that I purchased for $700 that sound very good. I also have a pair of Polk RT 2000i purchased for $600 at a house/moving sale that sound awesome (a lot better than the Lsi15's) with the NAD... | |
| Power Cord Question Knownothing, your recommendations are noted. Thanks.1. My speakers are set up within space constraints but they sound very good anyway. Especially my living room system. It is on a rare occasion that I hear any sound coming from them. They are ver... | |
| Power Cord Question This is the response I got from NAD Electronics concerning power cord upgrades: ****Thank you for your recent request via the NAD Electronics web-site.No, do not use a new power cord. The one supplied with the C372 is the proper cord for the unit,... | |
| Burn in question What about a power cord connected to a component in the standby mode, is that considered burn in too? |
