| How different between B&W 804s & B&W 805s???? several years ago, when I first got bit by this hi-end bug, I got some BW 602's. naturally, the quest for better set in and soon I was auditioning older series BW matrix, the 805's and 804's. I settled on the n804s' and loved them for quite a whil... | |
| Martin Logan Summit Hey Tdacquisto, what pre-amp are you using with your Pass Labs x250? I have a matching x-1 pre and x250 driving BW N802's, which are power hungry and they do the job. I have been thinking about trying the Pass combo with the ML Summits. I've only ... | |
| Old Classe pre-amps vs. new? Go for the newer for sure, if you can find the CP50 or CP60 even better. You don't see them for sale much because they are "keepers"! That's a great amp too, I had one, matched up with Classe CDP .5 and the CP 50 wish I'd kept the whole system! go... | |
| Pass Labs X250 or X350? GAbriel, I'm curious as to what amp you chose? I bought the X-250 about a year ago and just got a matching X-1 pre and the synergy is fantastic. I was also told the X250 was actually more refined than the X350 despite a little less power. than aga... | |
| What is the best tube pre for $350 used? HF detail well, you're budget is really pinching, but, if you could it stretch it a bit, you might find an older ARC Ls2b, a hyprid tube/solid state. VERY high quality.good luckjb | |
| is too large a room no good? Hey emalist, this is a site that can give you a little technical edge.http://www.hunecke.de/en/calculators/room-acoustics.htmljb | |
| is too large a room no good? Room size is a componenet of your system, no less important that any other piece of equipment. Even the best stereo will sound awful in the wrong room. this topic is almost always ignored in discussion threads on "what is better, this speaker or t... | |
| Cable TV digital music Bruce, the Motorola does hae something labeled: optical SPDIF, it is an orange rca jack but it next to the "audio in" jacks. in a row underneath the SPDIF jack are 3 rca jacks; a green one labeled "y", a blue one labeled "Pb" and a red one labeled... | |
| Cable TV digital music Hi Zen, the unit is just a Motorola cable box. It's labeled "dual tuner: dvr/hdtv" It just has rca jacks.jb | |
| Cable TV digital music Hey Avrij, I don't follow you, what do you mean by "pre/pro". I just assumed the rca jack output on the cable box was a digital out and my pre amp converted it to analogue. Are you saying I need a separate DAC?jb | |
| Anyone try decoupling speakers from the room? well, yea, my ex got the house and I got the speakers.worked out great!!!jb | |
| Tube/SS synergy? well this info fits in with my sense that the music sounds and feels a bit too "compressed" if that's the right word. Although there is good bass, and pretty good clarity etc. the overall quality sounds a bit...well less dynamic than I've heard th... | |
| Tube/SS synergy? did I forget to say I have a Pass Labs x250 amp? | |
| To "tube" or not to "tube" Nsgarch, You (and the rest of you guys) have been a big help, given me lots to think about, I like the idea of 275Mcs mono blocs for either speaker set ups, so will be on the lookout. the next question of course, is pre-amps... And to Beheme, coul... | |
| To "tube" or not to "tube" Nsgarch,duly noted! Thanks,jb |
