| How to connect video input from projector In this case, it might help if we knew what gear you are referring to.If you have a reasonably decent 5-6 year old AV receiver, chances are you would have HDMI inputs and outputs. If your DVD/BD player is of similar vintage, it would HDMI outputs ... | |
| Gallo 3.1s The second terminal on the 3.1 is designed to be driven with a Gallo designed amp to deliver only low frequencies. You need a stereo amp to drive the two low frequency drivers on each speaker.So the amp needs to be able to cut off the higher frequ... | |
| Which USB Cable do you like using We tested Wireworld Platinum against the Acoustic Revive 1.0SP and the Revelations Audio Labs dual headed one today. IMHO the Revelations was my pick (and I own the other 2! Dammit :) )And it's not too expensive either. | |
| Benchmark Dac1 HDR vs Bel Canto 2.5???? FWIW I don't use the Bel Canto these days and prefer the EMM Labs/Playback.One thing I do miss from the Bel Canto is the ability to play DSD which you can get from the new Benchmark 2. Not sure how it sounds tho.Another option I'd consider is the ... | |
| Benchmark Dac1 HDR vs Bel Canto 2.5???? The HDR is fundamentally the same as the DAC1 Pre, just with a remote controlled volume pot.I preferred the DAC3.5 via the Pre3 but with the 3.5MkII, I preferred that direct.3.5 with LNS has a higher noise floor vs 3.5 with VBS. | |
| Benchmark Dac1 HDR vs Bel Canto 2.5???? I had the DAC1Pre and moved from that to a DAC3.5. I found that move to be an upgrade. I think the DAC2.5 is similar to the basic DAC3.5 with the LNS power supply. The Benchmark was clinical sounding and sterile compared to the Benchmark which sou... | |
| NCore vs. Ice -- single or separate cases TimrhuNot to be pedantic but I don't believe it is a clone of the REF1000M but rather the 1000. The REF1000 was pretty much the ASP1000 with Bel Canto chassis, wiring and connectors.The REF1000M included Bel Canto's own input buffer and power supp... | |
| NCore vs. Ice -- single or separate cases TimrhuThe REF1000s were much older than the REF500S and have been upgraded to REF1000M specs.I still find the REF500M to be the best choice in the Bel Canto line up. The newer 3rd gen modules are better than the ASP1000 modules in the REF1000/1000... | |
| Hugh Masekela – Hope / Should I get the CD or SACD Then the SACD :) | |
| Hugh Masekela – Hope / Should I get the CD or SACD What player are you using? | |
| The right amplifier for Quad 12L Classic No idea how the Exposure would match but quality watts matter more than "higher numbers" per se. | |
| Hugh Masekela – Hope / Should I get the CD or SACD Ditto on the SACD | |
| The right amplifier for Quad 12L Classic Contrary to "conventional wisdom", you are MORE likely to destroy speaker drives when you have INSUFFICIENT power rather than when you have too much.Having a higher rated power rating just means you have more reserves in handling transients/spikes... | |
| Music Server now bane of my existence 15 minutes!??How big is your library? My 1.5TB takes me a fair bit of time and that's using Thunderbolt!!I back up to a RAID 5 NAS and 2 Thunderbolt drives :) | |
| CD vs CD/SACD Player – Tube-based or Not The external DAC doesn't benefit the Oppo 105 much. BD audio is limited to 48kHz over SPDIF and SACD doesn't output over SPDIF. |
