| What's the best way to soundproof a room on budget Nsgach - sorry, just providing ideas. If you do it your self, you can do these projects pretty cheaply. But I do agree that double walls and the like can be expensive if you have to pay someone to do it. In fact, I said that a double wall was not ... | |
| B&K AVR 307 Repair or replace?? Last I knew ATI was doing nothing with the B&K line, which is sad. Eastern Elite seems to be the go to place for repairs. I believe the guy there used to run the B&K service division. I doubt that anything in the current $1,500 range sound... | |
| What's the best way to soundproof a room on budget Agreed - if you can do an isolated second wall that is a great solution. That option is discussed on the website I gave above. It is a great solution, although not always the easiest and less expensive.You should also look at the resilient channel... | |
| What's the best way to soundproof a room on budget If you add drywall also consider using Green Glue between the layers. It is not a glue, but rather a sound deadening compound. You can also use mass loaded vinyl.This website has some good information on various methods and their effectiveness.Sou... | |
| seeking Hybrid Integrated Amp recommendations I have done some reading on integrateds and some do have HT bypass that goes to the internal amps. There is a distinction that some companies make between a unity gain circuit, which passes through the pre-amp to the amp section but has a fixed ga... | |
| seeking Hybrid Integrated Amp recommendations Bdgregory - We are in sync. I followed the other thread, although not in great detail. I think it is partially a matter of terminology, but I just wanted to clarify that I do not think he is looking for an integrated with a traditional HT bypass, ... | |
| seeking Hybrid Integrated Amp recommendations Jpg1975 - HT bypass means that the signal comes into the pre-amp and passes through to the amps without any change. In the case of an integrated (preamp plus amp), it seems you are using the amps in the integrated, not separate amps, so do not nee... | |
| seeking Hybrid Integrated Amp recommendations Why do you want an integrated with HT bypass? That sounds like a pre-amp. What is being bypassed?From your other thread it seems like what you really want is a hybrid integrated with a unity gain or fixed gain input. | |
| Has the Oppo carried the AV industry? I think Blu Ray is what really brought Oppo into the limelight. They were very good at DVD, but there were a lot of excellent DVD players out there. But Blu Ray was a game changer for them. When players were booting in minutes, the 83 did it in se... | |
| Remodeling Advice Projectors do not work real well when there is a lot of ambient light in the room. They just do not have the light output to compete with a LED. The people I have known who have put projectors in their main viewing areas have been disappointed, un... | |
| Need multi-channel that's great on 2 channel Sounds like you have a good solution in the works. Even without the pre-amp having a HT bypass you can use it in that mode by connecting the L/R pre-outs of the receiver as a input to the pre-amp and setting the volume levels on the pre at a repro... | |
| Do not buy any Sonus Faber used Distributors can refuse a full paid repair job if they wish. Sumiko used this tactic to try to cut down on gray market product sales back when Tweeter was selling SF. There was one "dealer" in particular who was selling gray market speakers very o... | |
| Do not buy any Sonus Faber used Harris4crna - That is good news. My understanding is Sumiko started their stated repair policy when a large number of black market speakers were coming into the US. They just wanted to warn people that they would not support black market speakers.... | |
| Do not buy any Sonus Faber used Call Sumiko and explain the situation. Call SF and explain the situation. It would be interesting to hear what they both say. You should try to get past the first level of support. | |
