| What can you tell me about Focus Audio? Thanks Cmalak. Been breaking them in since they arrived on Wed. I need to get some sleep.. ;-) | |
| What can you tell me about Focus Audio? To close the loop, I bought the FP80se. | |
| Which amp for Cary SLP 05 I think thehousesound said it best. Get your speakers first, given them time to break in, and then decide what your amp needs are. | |
| PSB Synchrony One or Vienna Acoustic Baby Grands? Thanks Golden_sound. Excellent description and comparison. Regrettably, I was able to demo either first hand. I also was afraid the PSBs would be too large for my room. After demoing some Paradigms, Dynaudios and Phase speakers, I settled on a pai... | |
| Ground loop b/w amp and phono stage Maybe a silly question, but did you try shorter cables? I had a hum between my TT and phono stags, and went from a 3 meter RCA to a 1 meter RCA between my phono stage and preamp. The hum immediately disappeared. | |
| Hovland HP 200 vs. Cary SLP 05 I believe Hovland went out of business. Something to consider if you ever have an issue with the piece down the road.. | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio vs Thiel 2.4 Cmalak - thanks for the link. I noticed it too, but as you and others suggest, I think I'm better off auditioning them first.Bigkidz - Thanks for the suggestion. Doesn't look like there are any dealers near me though. Pity - one of the many reason... | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio vs Thiel 2.4 Cmalak: I'll be using a McIntosh mc-202 200w SS amp. Should be plenty given my room.Digs: Why did you move from the Forests to the Zens? Totem was also on my short list.. I might have a chance to audition them both in my room, or at least side-by-... | |
| PSB Synchrony One or Vienna Acoustic Baby Grands? Thanks for the responses. After discussing this with my local dealer (who, of course, does not have them available for demo), given my room size and sitting position (10 feet from the speakers), he does not think i would get the full enjoymet out ... | |
| PSB Synchrony One or Vienna Acoustic Baby Grands? Shadorne: have you auditioned them both? Just wondering why you rate the PSB higher. | |
| Gallo Strada vs Paradigm Signature S1 I'm looking at getting a pair of Strada myself for my desktop. Please update us when you've made your decision. I can tell you I heard the 3.5 at last year's Apoxna show. Blew the doors off everything I heard except for a $75,000 Legacy system. If... | |
| Canton Reference Any opininion? I have the Canton Reference 9 monitors. I've only had them for a week and haven't fully broken them in yet, but they're already a huge improvement over my B&W 7nts... | |
| Anthem Statement D2V set up concerns Post your issue on the AVS Anthem D2/D2v/AVM50/AVM50v/ARC1 tweaking guide forum and you'll get a better response.http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=678260 | |
| Oppo 83 Agreed on the analog outs. Plus, if you use the Oppo, you'll have to use Oppo's bass management which likely isn't as extensive at your BK.I'd stick with the BK. Unless you own the SE Oppo, it's unlikely the Oppo's DACs are superior to your Ref 70's. | |
| HELP hooking up component and speakers. See my thread entitled "amp switcher." The Niles SPK-1 should do the trick for you. |
