| Home Theater or Two Chanel sound Quality ? Zroland, Sorry I didnt respond to your email directly yesterday, I had a ton to do, the vines needed netting bad!!! That email is at home but I believe you wanted to know a few 2 channel Preamps that have a theatre/cinema bypass.I have been eyeing... | |
| CDP-Tube Suggestions Hello Djbnh, Blue light on, straight up power on. Though after giving a little thought to the cost of replacement telefunkens. I have decided to put the unit on standby (red light - with remote) when listening is unlikely. Nice looking system. I s... | |
| Home Theater or Two Chanel sound Quality ? #1 Yes. A separate CDP and a cheaper DVD.... unless you intend to do a lot of SACD/DVD-A. If the 5900 is $1600.00 then I would say split the bidget....$1000.00 to the CDP and $600.00 to the DVD. But clearly the SACD/DVD-A question is the hangup. T... | |
| Gather around JoLida 100a owners Awww man I am so jealous. I have been wanting to audition the OB1's for a while. Sounds like a really fun day, checking out new stuff. I need one of those days!Compared to the B & Ws, what was the bass like with the OB1s? was midrange as prono... | |
| Gather around JoLida 100a owners FreakyGreek, I use the 2 channel feature often. Its performance in that area was the reason I chose it(SP1.7). Comparatively, its 2 channel performance is at or very near the top of the heap (when it comes to Processors anyway). The truth is, its ... | |
| Gather around JoLida 100a owners Freaky, Hehe, I know it, audio gear really knows how to exponentially increase in price.Honestly I am fairly new to DACs myself. I havent heard that many. I do know that there are many competent makes and models to choose from, with widely varying... | |
| Gather around JoLida 100a owners Sure you can use an outboard DAC. I use a Theta DAC from time to time and also the DACs in my Processor. From what I have read, the AA Prima DAC is a fantastic performer, I havent heard it yet. At 3x the cost, I would certainly expect it to be an ... | |
| CD Player or New Format? DVD-A definately does NOT sound best. Both formats are excellent. Since you like classical, clearly more titles are available on SACD.I think it is sound advice to place Redbook at the top of your criteria list. That is, unless your budget allows ... | |
| EAD 8000 & 8800 Both are near the top of the heap, but, I preferred the Bryston SP1.7 in a head-to-head shootout for 2-channel. Though, that was just my preference, yours may vary.Those two preamps you mentioned are outstanding. I have never had them in home for ... | |
| Bryston SP1.7 Bypass or Digital In ???? Maril, I'll do my best. Do you mean my 11-29-03 post which says....."I am pretty sure the PCM D/A conversion is handled by the Motorola 56367 chip in this unit. It is SOTA for Multi-channel decoding but I think other dedicated DACs may be better a... | |
| Distortion with Jolida JD100 If you had some B & W speakers you probably wouldnt have this problem. Just kiddin' with ya.Since you mention it happens during the dynamic or loud passages, It could be an overdrive problem with the Syrah. Since it was in the chain in both se... | |
| CDP-Tube Suggestions I thought I might update this thread. I have been running Telefunken smooth plate 12ax7s for a little while now. These are the best synergistic match for me and my system yet. I love them. Very smooth. Vocals bloom from way back and seeming higher... | |
| bryston sp 7.1 or ead 8800 pro????? Sutts, thanks so much. Even though I am opinionated I try to be fair.Flemke, I am using 2 of the eight analog inputs on the EAD for the two channel. (I really dont need to try the other 6 because my Jolida CDP resolves better than my Sony SACD). T... | |
| bryston sp 7.1 or ead 8800 pro????? I have the EAD 8800pro in the system right this minute comparing it to a Bryston.Lately I am 70% 2-channel, 25% Movie (Dolby Digital), and 5% DTS:neo6 music.So far the Bryston/Jolida CDP bypass combo is the superior 2 channel sound (Soundstage, dy... | |
| Ayone know the wattage used at a Rock concert? I believe "Manowar" holds the current world record for the loudest concert. 129 Decibels, I think. I would guess tens of thousands of watts, or maybe even hundreds of thousands.I got very up close to Pink Floyds setup several years back. The amps ... |
