| Anyone in Cincinnati, OH? I have lived here over 50 years. Let me know if you find an audio shop downtown, period. There are probably some good places to eat, but no reason to go downtown except the Reds, so I'm not much help on the food either once you get past Cincinnati... | |
| AV Receiver that deals with 6ohm speakers Check Pioneer Elite. Could be wrong about that. | |
| Wyred 4 sound vs Bel Canto dac 3 Let me know if you ever get a good answer. I would add Wavelength or Ayre to the list. I was very interested in the results, and surprised that no one had an opinion. | |
| The right amp for my system I have a 130w Pioneer Elite. I drive the center and rears with the Pioneer, thus preserving all the functionality of the receiver, including driving ceiling speakers in other rooms with channels 6 & 7. I inserted a Wyred for sound STI 500 inte... | |
| Emotiva UMC-1... Still a science-lab affair? I'd get a decent 2 channel integrated now with a home theater bypass and add the receiver (which will depreciate faster than a banana) later if you really want good 2 channel sound. I started with a receiver based system, and now I hardly ever tur... | |
| Cheap transport vs computer HD I can't answer your question, but add Pure Music to the Mac/DAC/Itunes combo and you will have another leap forward for a modest investment. | |
| Power cord replacement where first? Upgrade all cords with Pangea and call it a day, for less money. I was very impressed. Glad to hear things might get even better with a dedicated 20 amp line. | |
| Who is using their receiver as a preamp only? I use the Pioneer Elite 94 as a pre. It allows me to have HT, and drive a zone 2 with channels 6 & 7. Feeds a Rotel 1095 and sounds pretty good. My next purchase will be a preamp with a HT bypass to improve the 2 channel sound, and keep all th... | |
| Connect Pioneer Elite AVR to Simaudio Integrated I have been looking to do the same thing with my Pioneer Elite 94TXH. I have lost interest in home theater, but I hate to give up the functionality. I would be interested in how this works out for you, including your assessment of the sound qualit... | |
| Macbook to USB to which one? After a lot of research, I hooked up my MacBook Pro to a Wavelength Proton DAC and never looked back - sound is excellent. Main reason for selecting was the performance with a USB connection. | |
| Need opinion on Marantz processor I'll be very interested in the input you receive as I am looking at the the Marantz. I'm having trouble coming up with plan B, except the Integra DHC 80.2. Have you considered that one? | |
| New to DACs: Please Help I using a Mac Pro to a Wavelength Proton DAC with a USB connection for my first DAC. Sounds great. | |
| Preamp for Thiel 1.6's Both of you are on target with your thoughts and questions. Budget is flexible, but let's say 2k. Jazz and piano sound good now, but rock can be a little harsh. I do have a second zone hooked up very conveniently with the Pioneer, but I do not wan... | |
| What pre amp to use in my system? Unless your local guy is incredible, I would agree with the advice to wait and save. I have a Rotel 1095 that I think is a little harsh sometimes, but great on the stuff you like. I was advised to make my next move a tube preamp, but the advice wa... |
