| Classe preamps I have a Classe CA-200 and a CAV-75 amp for surround. I think they sound awesome. The 'Classe Sound' is rich smooth midrange with clean smooth highs. The bass is full and deep, although I've had other amps that were tighter in the bass and more de... | |
| Top Ten Interconnects of all time... Magnan Vi is the best I've heard. I don't have the most extensive experience with cables, I tend not to change monthly like alot of people. But these are by far the best I've lived with. | |
| Speaker Fetish He sounds legit to me gentlemen. Jayboard, will you accept some Krell and Mark Levinson equipment even if its over 4 years old with no OBM? I think it would help me feel better. What do you say guys, let's send Jayboard our stuff. | |
| Speaker Fetish The fetish never leaves either. I thought I was over it. HA. I was hardcore from about 1987-1994. About '94 I realized I was so busy working and coaching youth sports (3 boys) I had no time. So I downgraded (GASP). I bought nothing until 2001. I d... | |
| Multi channel much better than stereo? Multichannel has its' place, I admit it makes movie watching more enjoyable. But it is not for serious listening. I recently purchased a used Proceed PAV because I thought it handled stereo much better then even the top current preamp/processors. ... | |
| Best and Worst customer service? I would like to commend Sumiko. I recently bought a demo Sonus Faber Solo center channel. The dealer had thrown away original boxes and manual. He explained that's why it was 40% off MSRP. I thought I'd e-mail Sumiko and see what happens. Well Joh... | |
| Amp suggestion for Legacy Focus I own a pair of Legacy Classics and I'm driving them with a Classe CA-200. I find the match a good one, the Classics are high definition with the ribbon supertweeter and can sound harsh with some electronics. The Classe with its rich full sound ma... | |
| USED D/A - worth the effort? I am currently in the same bind. I just wrote the thread on digital or analog d/a convertors. Basically the price on high end processors is dropping like a Led Zepplin. I saw a Proceed PDP-3 which is a $2495 processor 6 years ago selling for >$... | |
| Future proof DVDA/DVD/CD/CDR player. NO! Nice concept though. | |
| Cable TV / Subwoofer HUMMMMMMM If you have a powered subwoofer, you could try floating the ground. Mondial sells what is called a MAGIC box, which is a ground isolating unit for video systems. The costs is around $100 if I remember correctly. This might be worth a try. Good luck | |
| Parasound HCA2200II , Yeah or No-Way! The Parsound HCA2200II is a very good amp, I'm using it now with a Audio Research LS-1 preamp. I've also owned an Aragon 4004, it is a little smoother but lacking the bass slam and detail of the Parasound. It depends on how much power you need, th... |
