| two channel DVD playback with stereo DAC I recently bought a used Sony 9000ES DVD player and am very pleased. The digital out does 2 channel PCM including 96/24. I can listen to virtually all media formats including CD, SACD, DAD and DVD-audio. What? DVD-audio? Yes, it plays the 2 ch DVD... | |
| Help with Theta Gen Va? Thanks for the help.I just sent an e-mail to Theta for advice. Will try to work out an arrangement to send this to them.Happy listening. | |
| Who uses long interconnect like in dealers? My source equipment is on a side wall and my amps are between the speakers. My IC's to the amps are 4m and my speaker cables are 1m and 1.25m (system is bi-amped).I have also noticed that there are very few long IC's on the used market. Maybe peop... | |
| Mono block suggestions I use Pass Aleph 2's on my Martin Logan Quest's and they sound great. Highly recommended if you find a pair in your budget.Good listening. | |
| What to use as a subwoofer amp I use an old Acoustat Transnova amp on my subs and it works great. Hafler makes more current versions of this amp that can be found fairly cheap. A 350W/Ch version went unsold on Ebay this week for $750.Good luck. | |
| Hubbell 8300 Dill,This is a little off the subject, but I also have a Pass Aleph P. I use orange hospital grade recepticles from Home Depot with an isolated ground. I've never had any problems.I plan to upgrade these receptacles and welcome your experience so ... | |
| SACD- my intial thoughts.... I do not have a SACD player, but have bought several hybrid discs for comparison at a local store. They have a Sony 999ES in a room with Krell/B&W equipment. The sales person was intrigued by SACD and had been trying to hear a difference. All ... | |
| Center image on left side and don't know why I noticed a similar problem with image when I first started getting into high end audio 20 years ago. I tried many things until I noticed the problem occured on all systems, including those in dealer showrooms. I tried moving the speaker to compen... | |
| Review: Audience & Shunyata AU24 Speaker cable You have me curious to know what DIY cable you are using. There are several available, but I can find very little comparison to the high dollar cables.I am also interested in your results with the AZ cable.Regards,gofaststang | |
| speaker cables recommendations I agree with the comment by Thsalmon, particularly since you have Linn equipment. I use K400 and have been happy. I know there is better cable and am considering an upgrade, but unless you are ready to spend much more money, this cable is hard to ... | |
| SACD Player w/Tube output & Bal out I am also interested in user feedback regarding this player, but would like to know about CD and SACD playback quality. My goal is to eliminate the DAC and have a standalone player for CD and SACD.Regards | |
| Help with Martin Logan Quests. I would like to thank everyone for their comments.It has been a week since the problem occured, and the speakers are working fine. I think it was a humidity problem as described in an earlier post. I still think I need to begin considering new pan... | |
| Help with Martin Logan Quests. Rives, you are probably correct to encourage me to replace the panels. I'm not ready to spend the money for a new pair. New panels would sound better anyway, but what about circuit upgrades. Should I have someone replace circuit components with im... | |
| Help with Martin Logan Quests. Shahens, since I am bi-amped and use the speakers passive crossover, the amps are still seeing full bandwidth. An active crossover takes some load off each amp but I can't do that with these speakers. You mentioned installing an inline resistor an... | |
| Help with Martin Logan Quests. Thanks for the suggestions. The problem seems intermittent. They are working fine today. These were purchased around 93, so they may need new panels. I'll vacuum first. The Audio Control equalizer has done the trick for the bass. It is an inexpens... |
