| Speaker suggestion for McCormack DNA 225 DLX Steve McCormack uses Vandys in his system. I think he has 3A's. | |
| Upgrade recommendation. Richard Gray or Mcintosh. I agree with the pre-amp recommendations but I would also recommend considering the RGPC 400. At a considerably lower price you can buy them one at a time and see what you need to fix your power problems. I personally don't care for the Monster pr... | |
| Have you gone hi-rez? Which format and why? It appears that the equipment designers are going to solve this issue for us. The comming trend is multi-format. I was asking my local dealer about Theta's DVD-A format release and was told that Theta is waiting for the multi-format chips to matur... | |
| Mobile Fidelity Sound labs Question I'm with Tim on this one. I have found that the care that MFSL and DCC put into their work is unmatched in even the recient remastered versions of the same recordings. The area where I consistently see large differences is the dynamic range differ... | |
| Have any experience with Richard Gray power stuff? I have two of them and they make a nice improvement in my system. As has been stated above, I think that their effect will be system dependent but more on the house AC side of the equation. My townhouse only has one 15 amp circuit that services my... | |
| Cable directionality BigTee,Please don't confuse voltage with current. In order to drive your amplifiers to drive your speakers current must flow. The same thing happens in your AC line analogy. The cable shield issue that you are raising is real. Current will flow th... | |
| What will become of my beloved CDs? I'm not so sure about the hard disc thing. A DVD holds between 4 and 20 Gigabytes of information ... so if your collection was all in high resolution, than you might have 8,000 Gbytes, a substantial hard disk. Now as technology marches forward the... | |
| How do I start? Hey Nrchy,Congratulations on having such a mature and insightful son. He must know the frustration of having a single terrific component that cannot be enjoyed because of the limitations of the rest of the system. I'm not sure how your 10 year old... | |
| How do I start? I guess I disagree with the one at a time approach and I also think that life is too short to keep looking for nirvana. I would take my budget and allocate it as best as possible and bring up the whole system to its next level. That way you can en... | |
| Torn between JPS and Black Mamba for cd player Hi Daryl,I have a JPS Digital AC on both my transport and Casablanca pre/pro. The JPS made a very nice improvement in overall noise floor reduction. I also felt that there was an overall improvement in the sense of musicality to the system. With m... | |
| 2000 or less : best choices for mains? Hi Weed,I had a Sunfire True Sub and upgraded to the HGS-15. It was a great move. I use it with a Gallo Nucleus setup and find it a great sub on both movies and music. If your mains go down to a respectible level (30Hz) than you won't need too muc... | |
| Active crossovers KP,Think first about what active crossovers are all about. There are a couple of benifits; 1) crossing over before amplification means the amps (and speaker cables) don't have to see the whole audio spectrum and can put their power into a more lim... | |
| Difference bewteen McCormack DNA-2 & DNA-1 ?? Both of the McCormack Amps are of excellent quality. You won't be unhappy with either of them. As the birdman stated the DNA-2 is rated at 300 W into 8 ohms and the DNA-1 is rated at 185 W into 8 ohms. A more significant difference is that the DNA... | |
