| Digital Preamp NO video switching Better is OK, superior even. See one of my previous post. I suppose It all boils down to how one defines "much better" or "significantly better."I defend ALL products when they are being unfairly smeared. Bryston happens to be a regular target tho... | |
| Digital Preamp NO video switching Its just that your opinion sounds very uninformed. Especially the "much better" part. But I digress, who am I to disagree, the "experienced audiophile friend" hath spoken.Its no big deal, its just wrong. Whether that be by design or ignorance, it ... | |
| Digital Preamp NO video switching Hbrandt."This guy was asking for opinions. I've had the Bryston, a Meridian 568, and the EADs in my setup."I thought he was asking about which Processor did not have video switching and later specifically which EAD didnt have video switching. Soni... | |
| Digital Preamp NO video switching HBrandt, very true. But would not AGW have been served better had you said that in the first place?! | |
| Digital Preamp NO video switching I wouldnt go so far as to say the EAD is "much better" than the Bryston or Meridian. Different? Yes. Better? Maybe. All are worthy of audition.Having said that, I should also add that I do not care for artificially colored sound, unless it offers ... | |
| CDP-Tube Suggestions I am currently trying the Sovtek WA's (12ax7). The LPS's stayed in for a while. I really liked them.The WA's sound just a little bit more rolled back in the highs. Not much though. Its somewhat hard to put into words, but.....sounds/notes seem to ... | |
| 85/15 Music/movies, Best HT Processor for Music?? Umm, the 507 is a Receiver, and a good one at that. As far as Processors, I auditioned many specifically for 2 channel. I preferred the Bryston SP1.7 over most by a wide margin. But I didnt hear them all and budgeting limitations kept me from a fe... | |
| First pre/pro and hopefully last My third and last is Bryston SP1.7. It wasnt bestable in 2 channel bypass (I auditioned quite a few) and its DD/DTS has really opened up with some burn in time. Having said that, I think you can find similar 2 channel performance in the Classe 75 ... | |
| Vibration control, hardwood floor, subwoofer. Tell the wife that you have decided on speakers. Show her a pair of Klipsch K-horns. When the yelling has subsided, place your sub, equipment, and speakers wherever you want.Seriously though, the proximity of the sub will make it difficult to damp... | |
| Jolida JD-100 New unit with bad HUM.....hum The Chili came out great. Needless to say I ate to much. I doubt they will boot us for Chili recipes, although if it gives the powers that be indigestion.....Hehe.If you're like me, I have neat and tidy little boxes with all my leftover goodies. S... | |
| Bryston 7 BSST or Sim Audio Moon W 10 for PMC MB1 Hmm, W10's are 50% more expensive than the Brystons. I think both are fine amps. However, the Brystons may offer a greater level of synergy with the PMC speakers (which I really want to hear, I have no local dealers). Ultimately Sim and Bryston ha... | |
| Jolida JD-100 New unit with bad HUM.....hum If its humming when its plugged in but not powered up. It is reasonable to conclude that its an AC issue (ground loop). That doesnt rule out defective internals of course.Do you have cable (video) running into or through this system? If so, unplug... | |
| Does unequal speaker wire length matter? Apparently upgrading ones cable is very popular these days. I get three or four emails about upgrading mine every day. Heh. I guess word got out. Seriously, I prefer same length for like speakers. i.e. Front L/R are the same, the surrounds are the... | |
| Jolida JD-100 New unit with bad HUM.....hum Mine is dead quiet. Except for a slight tube hiss when I have the volume very exaggerated. e.g. to hear the tube hiss!If you power down the CDP (with the switch on the front panel) do you still get a hum? Try unplugging the power from the back of ... | |
| Rotel 1067 vs. Denon 3805? If I were to buy an AV Receiver my choices would be, Sunfire, B & K, Rotel, Onkyo Integra (if you can find one), and Denon. In that order.In my opinion the Sunfire, B & K, and Rotel have the better amplifier sections of those listed. As fa... |
