| CD/SACD Player. I know there are many threads but I still would like help. Since SACD is not reliant on the newest technology, 100 bit rate, you don't need the newest player. A used high end unit such as sony es, pioneer elite, oppo and more should sound as good as a newer unit by the same company. For 2 channel keep u... | |
| how to connect yamaha rx-a3050 to a mcintosh mc206 amp. I would use the mac for all 3 front speakers, if not for all 5. The front 3 really need to be voiced the same or you will hear it. You've got an amazing amp, use it. | |
| What receiver should I buy? I'll stick with my recommendation of the Outlaw with the Emotiva mentioned above. It's not all about features Paraneer. A cheap receiver will not have the same quality of parts/shielding/switching and more.FYI I'm using the Emotiva UMC-200 and a... | |
| What receiver should I buy? I'm really confused with Paraneer's suggestion? Why get an AVR and an amp? Buy a pre-amp/processor and a power amp. Same theory but you aren't wasting extra money on unused features and will probably get a cleaner sounding unit since an AVR wil... | |
| OPPO BDP 103/105, sound quality??? I had a 103 and compared it to the DACs in my Emotiva UMC200 and Schiit Bifrost. They were both superior. With that said, I ended up selling my 103 and buying a 105. It easily bests the UMC200 or Bifrost. Big difference.BTW: I have 0 problems... | |
| Will Changing my 100 Watt Tube Amp to a 200 Watt SS Amp Solve My Problem? I still really think you need to either borrow gear from a dealer or friend. You have 2 issues: Noise and lack of volume. A pair of 400 watt monoblocks will cure that. Curing the noise issue might be trickier unless excess power solves all. A... | |
| Will Changing my 100 Watt Tube Amp to a 200 Watt SS Amp Solve My Problem? Ok, 6 ohms isn't so bad. However, 85db is pretty paltry. Your AR should be able to drive almost anything sufficiently. Although, if you do the match your max output will be about 104db-105db at 100 watts which is not close to THX or rock concer... | |
| Have a better suggestion for HT audio? Tis49,In an ideal situation, yes matching the rears is a very positive thing. When our budgets allow...In my experience it hasn't made a huge difference while matching the front 3 is critical.And to answer your real question: My theater is match... | |
| Have a better suggestion for HT audio? Personally, I don't think matching the rears is so important. For that matter, you might want to skip rears for now. Once the wife gets used to what she sees/hears then you can add them. Plus, running wires to the rears can be a nightmare. The... | |
| Tidal skips to next track, or restarts when paused iPhone Have you tried putting it into memory (off-line content) before listening? | |
| Tidal skips to next track, or restarts when paused iPhone My problems usually arise when I'm moving my phone around, either walking around or even worse when driving. | |

| Center and Mains Oppo is a DVD player that plays almost every format on disc. It has a nice built in volume control, great quality, nice DAC and tons of features. Go to oppodigital.com | |
| Center and Mains Jsigle, Michaela says it best. If you tell us what city you are in, maybe another member can stop by with a nice pre/pro and let you play?The other option is to buy on-line from a retailer with a money back guarantee. Emotiva & Outlaw do th... | |
