| 4.1 analog vs. digital I'd love to find a BD player that is worthy enough to allow me to sell my Audio Aero Capitol CDP, particularly since I'm more into vinyl than digital. However, every time I think that something else is adequate, I listen to my Capitol and the thou... | |
| 4.1 analog vs. digital Thanks Audiojan, that's what I was wondering. I'm using an Oppo DVD player now and I'm very happy with it, particularly considering the price to performance ratio. I've considered the BPD-83 but the Panasonic players are very well rated and consid... | |
| 4.1 analog vs. digital Thanks Kal. I understand that the only way to get HD audio codecs in my case is through tbe analog outs. I guess my question is will Blu-ray discs sound better through analog outs rather than digital outs considering that I only have a 4.1 system? | |
| Conrad Johnson Premium 12 - Noise when turned on Sounds like a tube may be ready to go bad. If the tube was already bad the amp should have blown the plate fuse which is indicated by the red light on the top of the amp chassis as mentioned above. You should try to isolate the problem quickly bef... | |
| Which 12AX7 tubes for EAR 834P phono stage? Another approach might be to try a livelier turntable. I use the 834P with a suspended sub chassis turntable and find the sound to be very dynamic. | |
| ground loop with new interconnects? I had a similar problem when I recently switched to "better" interconnects. Try repositioning the cables (may have something to do with the cable shielding) and/or turning/spinning the RCA plugs slightly. Solved my problem. | |
| Monos for Quad 989 I use Conrad Johnson Premier 12's with my 63's. They do get warm, but IMO really not an issue. Factory service and support is excellent and with proper care they will probably live longer than you. Also a very nice match with Quads, very musical. | |
| Looking to get into tubes? I have to disagree with some of the above posts. I too had been listening to SS since the 60's. A couple of years ago I switched to tubes and couldn't be happier. Go for it!!! | |
| CDP for Plinius/Totem Combo I found Audio Aero to be a nice match with my 9100 and Model 1's. I used the Prima and Capitol (still have the Capitol). In today's used market, you could try a Capitol player in the low $3K range. The Prima is also a nice match which you could tr... | |
| Upgrade power cable for Quads??? No question that everyone's experience will be different and everyone hears differently. Stik checking your system page I think you would probably benefit from some room treatments. Base traps in the room corners and in addition treatment of the w... | |
| Plinius 9100 vs 9200 I probably shouldnt butt-in however since I owned (and enjoyed) a 9100 and have listened quite a few times to the 9200 Ill offer my 2 cents. IMO Plinius beats hands down 1-4 above. I havent heard 5 & 6 so I cant comment. It is however, no ... | |
| Upgrade power cable for Quads??? Sometimes it's not WHAT we hear but what we WANT to hear. Although I will not dispute the fact that my 63's seem to sound better with an aftermarket PC because of reduced noise. Did I just contradict myself ?(!* | |
| Upgrade power cable for Quads??? Interesting to note that the speakers are fully charged (at least the 63's are and I assume the newer models as well) only a few moments after they are turned on so why would the PC make a difference in the tonal extremes? Seem to be different sch... | |
| Buy tubes from Audio Research or not just remember what goes around comes around...I for one have bought tubes once from mr. d...after continuing to read these forums, never again. | |
| Tube Amp recommendation for Quad 988 Just did a little homework on the SE. It's really a matter of taste, but I think the MV60 with the EL 34's is the better match for Quads. I have the Premier 12 xs with the EL34's. Matched with the Quads, the mid-range is to die for. |
