| Yamaha or Denon ? I had Denon, bought a yamaha for 3 days and went back to Denon! | |
| Removal of Optimus/Lineaum dipole tweeters There are plugs under the grill that need pulled out to get to the screws. The woofers then remove easily. Madisound has lots of threads on upgrading the crossovers and woofers. I replaced my woofers with Vifa 4" and it made a very nice difference... | |
| system for a 12 year old Playstation for a source? Get him headphones too. Otherwise you will be sorry you bought him klipsch. I know where you can get Sennheisers really cheap. | |
| Integrated Amp DAC Naim Supernait? Bryston B100? Check out music hall. The Mambo and Maven both have nice DAC's. | |
| Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc Ok, I went home to prove to myself that I wasn't full of it. My PSE is worth about $375, QSC worth about $300.I did a side by side test. It was like night and day. My dog could tell the difference...Needless to say, the QSC is for sale. Besides ra... | |
| Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc I owned clubs. I've had Crown, Crest, QSC and more. I still have a qsc running my whole house audio (quality is marginal with in ceilings anyway). However, I really don't like the quality of sound compared to most mid-fi amps. I have a PSE Studio ... | |
| speaker or amp distorting Probably the amp. I don't see how they get 25 watts out of EL84's. You'd be lucky to get 18. If the stock tubes are still in, that's another source of poor sound. Tube rolling may help a little but a bigger amp will help more. | |
| Which ARC Linestage? I've got a SP-6B with unbelievable phono stage. This will keep up with anything new. | |
| XLR cable with RCA output Cheap adaptors will kill you. You have to spend decent money on the Cardas. Otherwise you will get humm due to the impedance imbalances and other issues. | |
| Surround Sound Pre-Amp Anthem, Sunfire or Sherbourne. You won't miss 2 channel at all. | |
| What's a good beginner turntable at $2500+- range? 2500 is a very healthy budget.Get a Sota with factory installed arm (less tweaking) and spend a nice buck on a cartridge. My Jewel is now running a Clearaudio Aurum Beta S and is quite happy. You can do better for $2500.Need a VPI 19 mkiii? | |
| Time to move on, Quad, Coincident or Ref 3a The amp you have makes a big difference. 3 watt SET for the Coincidents or 200 watts for the Quads? We need to know more... | |
| amp recommendation for subwoofer Rodman, chill out dude.Maybe I'm a little optimistic with pricing. You can find lots of 200 wpc qsc amps for $350 to $400. Go fishing on ebay. If you look hard, you will find even better. Who said you need a 3200 watt powerlight for a sub?Again, I... | |
| Headphone Output for Preamp Out..... Converting to XLR can be a problem. Different impedance. I've tried adaptors but they all produce a lot of noise and reduce the volume. | |
| Marantz 5001 vs. NAD 515BEE Vs. Cambridge 340? Check out spearitsound.com for great NAD deals. Awesome dealer. |
