| Surround Processor Choice Check out the Parasound halo c2 for sonics at least equal, if not better for ht, and one of the best non digitised analog 2channel and multi outs available.Widescreen reviews september issue reviews the c1[same as c2 with added monitor] as a barga... | |
| Best SACD/CD player I can get for $5k new or used One of the pro modders likes the Phillips 963sa better than the Marantz sa14 when both are modded.Now that is saying something imho. | |
| Is my dealer lying to me? Gunbunny, even if you had 3k to spend on digital, I would reccomend a Phillips 963sa cd/sacd/dvd player fully modified over any 2-3k cd only player bar none.I know of one modder www.asi-audio.com that will do mods to the 963sa as you can afford it... | |
| Add DAC to Philips 963sa or Arcam DV-88P ??? I don't believe your going to be buying any of those particular players, except for the Arcam for anywhere near 1000.00-1100.00 used, which is about what you would have in the 963sa including purchase price after pro mods.If you look on various bo... | |
| Add DAC to Philips 963sa or Arcam DV-88P ??? I second modding the 963sa as a great choice.As the first to try the Blackgate vk150/350v ps cap upgrade and post the info on 4 audio boards,I have had dozens of people email me and tell me that they can't believe the difference this one 23.00 cap... | |
| Dylan - The Greatest Remasters Ever I already own Blood on the tracks and Desire on cd and vinyl and but it looks like a trip to Best Buy is in order for a few more SACD'S. | |
| audioquest vs acoustic zen/kimber digital cable AQ d2 is what i had before a 500.00 Wireworld digital which was an improvement.I then tried an AZ mc=2 and could not believe how much difference a digital cable could make.Soundstaging and a detailed yet sweet sound are the mc-2 signature.Get the ... | |
| What the best S/PDIF coaxial digital cable? Acoustic Zen mc=2 is a great cable for the money imo. | |
| DVD/CD/SACD player advice needed The dautch, there are no reliability problems on the 963...maybe you are thinking of the infamous 2k Phillips sacd 1000 as it has serious problems.There was a group shootout of the 963sa and Denon 2900 on www.avsforum.com a few months back and the... | |
| DVD/CD/SACD player advice needed Buy the 963sa it sounds just as good as the Denon 2900 for half the money.You will lose out on dvd-a, but that is no huge loss anyway imho. | |
| Which basic amps can drive 1 ohm loads ? The only amp I have ever owned that was rated for 1/2 ohm was an Electrocompaniet awb120 which powered Thiel 3.6's with ease.Perhaps the bigger Electrocompaniet monos would work on your Scintillas. | |
| Did you know that Audiogon... I ran into that site from a link on the avs forums while researching the latest pre/pros about 3 weeks or so ago.The Videogon site seemed new then.The transfer of feedback from A-gon to V-gon ...or lack of, doesn't seem right imho.You would think ... | |
| Which Pre/Pro regardless of $$$ This could be the best pre/pro regardless of price.If you are charitable and have a big budget, check this out.Ebay auction 304 2895 736I don't gennerally use e bay but this is special. | |
| Which Pre/Pro regardless of $$$ I just wanted to clear up the re-digitizing of the pass thru.The trim controls and analog volume only, are in the chain.The 2 and multi channel sacd are run through the 7.1 inputs so there taken care of.A stand alone cd player could be plugged int... |
