| Klipsch Cornwall III with Bryston 4B SST2 / BP17 ? Class A rated amps always mated well with my Corwalls & Heresey's. The Bryston has more power than you could ever use but it is not a "bright" sounding amp. I'd try it. | |
| Sound card or not? I prefer digital out into an external dac. My computer speakers are 5' tall and run off of tubes... | |

| Looking for DAC to improve sound quality from iPod Are you using lossless files on your ipod? Compressed/mp3 can only get so good with any DAC. | |
| What are the best headphones for hearing aid users My AKG 701's are very large over the ears.Is this for music only or for TV as well? Is you loss even on both sides? Mono can be a huge benefit if your loss is very uneven.Also, for non-music listening "TV Ears" actually work much better than high ... | |
| oppo 105 vs 103 Neither. Both are great Blueray players. However, a lot of effort has been put into the video section, especially in the 105. If you want 2 channel only, you could pick up a used Denon for a lot less money and get really nice sound (2200, 2900 or ... | |
| Dedicated Power Lines Add a 40 amp sub box next to your service. Add in a whole house surge protector (you still need smaller units at each recepticle). Run a bunch of lines to the gear, all home-run with no junction boxes.Finally, when you run these lines make sure th... | |
| phono stage with two inputs Many have dual inputs for mc/mm. Cambridge 640 has both with a little switch in the rear. | |
| Transport for MHDT Havana Ok, I'm a little confused? This is a nice DAC but why spend more on a transport than you probably did on the unit itself? The MHDT is the real brains and can run off your pc or even an xbox. If you want a top loader, buy an old Rega. | |
| Which OPPO? You won't need the apple if you have the 103. Streaming is great. Netflix is ok but I honestly don't mind paying for vudu with high def and amazing video/audio quality. My 103 is amazing! | |
| DAC versus CD? The DAC in the Mac won't be anywhere near the Jolida. Find a nice DAC with USB and run all of your sources through it. The cd in your Mac will run to the DAC to the amp. Wait until you burn all of your cd's to the mac and only have a hard drive... | |
| Need recommendation The problem sounds to be with your sacd player, not the integra. Replace your player and enjoy the fact that your pre isn't adding any color. Try an Oppo 103 for $499. | |
| Speakers that can be placed close to the back wall Nothing rear ported. | |
| Using two sets of speakers at once? I'll bet your imaging is much better when only listening to the Ays?Most of us use a sub to augment bass. The extra tweeters can actually degrade the sound...let an engineer explain this to you. | |
| Square waves or 1's and 0's? Paul McGowan ran a huge post on these issues with DACs. Go to www.psaudio.com and read "Paul's Posts". It is a ton of reading... |
