| Are Def techs 7000 series real competitors? Thought I would chime in here as well...I had Def Techs about 6 years ago before I went to predominantly 2-channel. In my experience, they were very good speakers for home theater and just OK for 2 channel. The bi-polar design seemed to lend itsel... | |
| To Plug Power Amps Direct in to Wall or Not ?? I have a Balanced Power 3.5+ "conditioner" and my DNA-500 sounds BETTER plugged into it than directly into one of my dedicated lines. Win/win............. peace of mind and better sound! | |
| Virtual Dynamics There are other VD threads here on Agon, but I concur with both the quality of the service (Rick is great) as well as the outstanding characteristics of the cabling. I have Revelation bi-wire speaker cables and several sets of Revelation and Revel... | |
| Preamp impedance mismatch with McCormack DNA2 I have a DNA-500 that works amazingly well with VAC preamps. I used to use a Standard LE and now have a Phi 2.0. The synergism is excellent and both Steve and Kevin (at VAC) were very helpful in explaining the impedence situation to me and assurin... | |
| Amati homage with NO334 My 2 cents would be to consider the McCormack DNA-500 - warm,detailed and fast with the control of solid state. I was very surprised and you might be as well. I know of 3 people who switched to this amp instead of the newer Levinson amps. | |
| Powercords for Krell 400xi ? You can get a used Elrod Statement here on Agon for less than the $1650 mentioned for the much lower quality Elrod EPS-3 Sig. You will probably be very impressed and never sell it. Overall sonics are just amazing, as is blackness of the background... | |
| Electraglide Epiphany -X VS Shunyata I'm also using the Epiphany X on my APL 3910 with excellent results(replaced an Epiphany). Also replaced an Anaconda Alpha on my amp with an Elrod Statement - bulky but better sound to my ears in my system(more authority and control on bass, more ... | |
| Power Cord for my McCormack DNA-500 On the other end of the spectrum, if you really want to hear what your DNA-500 can do, try an Elrod Signature 3 or Statement. You will be startled and amazed(depending upon the rest of your system) and may spend the following several months trying... | |
| Which player has all this???? You don't HAVE to keep H/T and 2-channel seperate at all(unless you just want to) I have successfully integrated both, as have many others, without compromises being necessary. You can also actually connect an APL-modded Denon 3910 directly to you... | |
| Speaker cables which bring out more bass? The best speaker cables for bass I've heard are made by Virtual Dynamics. They come in a wide variety of price points and are not inexpensive, but they sure let the sound through, comparable to a live performance.Hope this helps. | |
| Shunyata Anaconda Alpha or Elrod Statement? I totally agree with Albertporter. Using Statement on McCormack DNA-500 with wonderful results. The Shunyata wasn't bad, but the Elrod just lets more of the music through, especially the mids. | |
| Which High-End preamps have these 2 features? VAC is also an excellent choice. | |
| Tube Home Theater PreAmp? I agree with Sugarbrie and that is what I have done quite successfully. Why compromise if you don't have to? | |
| Velodyne ULD 15 repair I had a Foundation series sub for 5 years that I sent to Velodyne for repair about a year ago. All I sent was the board and they also upgraded the chips to their latest iteration. It was relatively inexpensive($150 or so), the repair was done prom... | |
