| Marantz AV7706 vs Yamaha CX-A5200 - Stereo DACs quality I seriously doubt the DACs in either AV preamp is even in the same league as the Oppo. I haven't heard them, but the Oppo BD105 is pretty good, have one. | |
| Rare Vintage Find : "Norman Laboratories electronic crossover - amplifier System 12" I'm sure it can be used for a passive sub crossover, but don't have a schematic. Also no clue what those power transistors are doing in a crossover. Looks to me from the photos that there is a power amp in each crossover box? Open it up and take m... | |
| Krell DUO 300 XD vs Krell Solo 575 XD I'm sure the upgrade would be noticeable. By increased fidelity, exactly what do you mean? What are you looking for, clarity, detail, noise floor, some kind of different sound? | |
| CYRUS X300 signature- Reset I could not find anything about a reset. Maybe you should contact Cyrus? The amp may need service anyway... | |
| HTB preamp and AVR turning on the same amp. Just use a switch. You could also add a power conditioner with a separated 12v trigger. What about a wi-fi outlet? | |
| Your thoughts on active loudspeakers So many here on AG have no clue about active crossovers and the benefits. Actives can improve the entire spectrum, midrange is so much clearer and detailed. It sure does remove distortion like IM, the most irritating, just plain gone. I've mostly ... | |
| Binding Post Loose tweeter connection. File a claim for damage, if you can. Never except anything that shows signs of damage as that could mean there are other potential failures waiting to happen. If you're going to fix it, expect other problems down the line. Good luck! | |

| Nakamichi DR-10 Cassette Deck Repair That's true about youtube, but the REALLY good Nak guys don't post on youtube. The super Nak's like Willie are too busy with their grandkids. | |
| Nakamichi DR-10 Cassette Deck Repair Yes, Naktalk@lists.naks.com, still somewhat active. The knowledgable ones do respond. | |
| Zappa Recommendations ? Electric Aunt Jemima. | |
| Why does a dent to a tweeter not affect sound quality? My ears are not good enough to tell, but it can be measured. Are you talking about whizzer cones, oldhvy? | |
| Quality outlets for non-audio I second the Hubbell recommendation, put a few in my folks place. Leviton has been find for me so far, but the ones I replaced were Leviton. Just installed some Acme Audio outlets for audio, TV and computer rooms. Now those suckers are TIGHT. | |
| Center channel I tried for almost 20 years and about $100k in various electronics and speaker arrangements, finally gave up last year and sold all my surround sound stuff. The sound coming from different locations was cool during movies, but the clarity and deta... | |
| jbl speakers The first time I heard the Paragon I was very impressed. They still sound good, but just too big. I personally prefer a pair of modified Hartsfield with 2405 tweeters. JBL still makes some excellent studio monitors that are much smaller and maybe ... |
