| Totem Dreamcatcher vs. Arro I haven't compared the specs of the speakers, but my Dad has the Dreamcatchers and I have the Arros. IMHO the Arros sound substantially better. YMMV | |
| TacT, Lyngdorf, Audyssey Pre/Pro, PARC? You guys have convinced me (also some other professional reviews) -- the idea that you go with a computer's auto-correction and then stop seems a bit antithetical to this hobby. Many/most of us who psot here try lots of things and go to a lot of e... | |
| right angle RCA adapters: will they harm sound? Thanks everyone. very helpful. | |
| TacT, Lyngdorf, Audyssey Pre/Pro, PARC? Okay this is enormously helfupl. Kal and all, thanks for all your time.--dan | |
| TacT, Lyngdorf, Audyssey Pre/Pro, PARC? Kal, this is very helpful, and most appreciated. Just to make sure I am understanding you:- you think that the one box solution -- the built in DACs and pre-amps in a pre/pro (that also happens to have EQ as a very important added benefit) is more... | |
| right angle RCA adapters: will they harm sound? Ozzy --To be sure this is correct theoretically and probably in actuality too.What I'm trying to discover is whether -- in practice -- people have been able to discern a meaningful difference in sound quality when using these adapters. My options ... | |
| Newbie Troubleshooting Question You bet, but note it could be as simple as the interconnect cable. Try replacing the one that seems to be indicated based on your swapping. | |
| TacT, Lyngdorf, Audyssey Pre/Pro, PARC? Okay, fair enough. Let's assume no vinyl (I was too busy buying musical instruments as a musician to spend money on records). So digital sources for music (either redbook CDs, SACDs, or files on a hard drive). I have a high end "universal" disc pl... | |
| TacT, Lyngdorf, Audyssey Pre/Pro, PARC? Thanks all for responses. Kal, I understand your point completely. The problem is that I am planning on replacing an old pre/pro. I more of a two channel guy, but I still need home theater and multi-channel. While I cannot get a second system in a... | |
| right angle RCA adapters: will they harm sound? Eric, thanks for the helpful answer. If you don't know the brand name, what about the dealer? | |
| Newbie Troubleshooting Question Yes, absolutely what Rwwear said. I meant to question you if the hum is really coming out of one speaker (make sure you don't hear it in the other one -- even if a bit softer). If it is only coming out of the one speaker, then the problem could be... | |
| Newbie Troubleshooting Question The hiss sounds perfectly normal. The hum does not. A few suggestions:- plug all equipment into the same outlet (using a decent power strip), assuming this won't overload the circuit.- try plugging interconnects into a different channel on the pre... | |
| do you need to elevate interconnects? Thanks Stanwal. I guess I'm still wondering about the main question -- which is generally in people's experience, do you need to elevate interconnects for the best sound? Opus88's suggestion to try it and see is of course reasonable, but my proble... | |
| do you need to elevate interconnects? Opus88, thanks for your response, very helpful. I wonder why more people don't avoid the whole elevating the speaker cable issue by going with longer interconnect runs and shorter speaker cables. While there is a lot of debate about whether longer... | |
| small ish floor standers WAF 5-8K Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to be looking into all of these! |
