| Rel Stadium ll vs Rel Strata lll The strata will be tighter/fast, but the stadium will give you more output and extension. | |
| My dunlavy scV sound harsh We also know nothing about his room... the room acoustics can make or break a stereo. Even the best stereo in an average room will sound no better than so-so.Can you share pictures of how your room is setup? My guess would be that is the main issu... | |
| Room size Your room is medium sized. A monitor will work well in that sized room. Small floorstanders will also work well. Large speakers will probably have an issue with the 14ft dimension, this is on the small end for biggish speakers.Totem will work well... | |
| Not sure if I get the point of the Wadia iPod dock "Is this for people who just don't want to mix computers and their systems?"Yes.I run a spdif cable from the digital out on my PC soundcard over to my DAC.This way, I have access to my whole library, instead of only what fits in my ipod. I can use... | |
| VPI Scout "tweaks" Do the Mapleshade feed thread into the table? Or does the table just kind of sit on the feet? | |
| What cables recommended to connect D2v2 to P5 ? Hi Shug,I run RCA cables between my D2 and MCA50, but you might as well run balanced.As with all audio cable choices, there is no silver bullet, it just comes down to using cables that you are comfortable with and that you like. A lot of people se... | |
| Home theater pass-through unnecessary? I've done this as well. You've just gotta set the volume on your preamp to a calibrated level every time. Works OK.Then I got an HT passthrough added to my preamp. It's pretty nice to not have to worry about the volume on the 2ch pre if you have t... | |
| Coldplay on Quad 988 "So you are recommending that he change speakers because his Coldplay discs sound bad? Great advice."I think he's just saying that a more forgiving speaker will make the coldplay recording quality more palatable... | |
| anthem D2 "what do you guys have with your D2's"I run an MCA 50 with mine, which is the older version of the A5. I think it's basically an A5 without the "statement" faceplate. I've got it hooked up on the 12v trigger, so when I power on the D2, it fires up... | |
| Been wondering about this for years.... As nice as I'm sure that TV looks, for me, it would be pretty tough to invest in something that isn't widescreen, as pretty much all movies are in widescreen. | |
| Wyred4S or Belles for Usher Be718? Honestly, as long as the impedances work as Rotarius mentions, I'll bet all three of these amps would sound pretty decent on your Ushers. In a controlled A/B would you prefer one or the other? Maybe... but without a side by side comparison it's go... | |
| anthem D2 I'm a D2 owner here.It is a fantastic piece. I have no complaints, and would not even consider parting with it. ARC is awesome.It works great with the new high def formats. Have your player output them in PCM, and you get the lossless formats deli... | |
| Denon DL-103 -- Was it a mistake? Hi,"What was your setup like other than the Rega when using the 103?"I'm not sure exactly what you mean... I was using a Rega P25 with the RB600 arm, and used both a Phonomena phono, and then switched to the built in phono in my Supratek Syrah pre... | |
| Wyred4S or Belles for Usher Be718? I would stay away from stereotypes about any "class" of amplifier. Generalizations such as "class A/B has more emotion than class D" make no sense whatsoever. For what it's worth, I have a Wyred ST500, which has considerably more control, and shee... | |
| Scout vs. P5 Both good choices.Personally, I want to be able to adjust azimuth (ie. tilt of the cartridge and arm) and VTA. You can't do this with a Rega. |
