| Integrated amp under $ 500. I tho't I'd revive this thread as it appears that those sub $500 deals on Onkyo A-9555 integrateds are disappearing. Back when I ordered mine last August I had a number of choices--Amazon at $474 w/free shipping, factory refurb from accessories4le... | |

| Best Tonearm for Dynavector XV1s 02-09-09: FosseI get a better result with my XV-1s and DV507MKII after changing to a lighter headshell (Yamamoto wood). The standard Technics headsell is also a very light 7.5g. You can upgrade it easily by replacing the standard cartridge leads w... | |
| how should i move forward...blu-ray etc...? Richard: In response to your most recent post, here's my take on the subject:You have the state of the art for the previous generation of home theater surround. What surprises me a bit is that Theta didn't include a 5.1 or 7.1 channel analog pass ... | |
| how should i move forward...blu-ray etc...? 02-09-09: John_z...Unless I read their website incorrectly, it looked to me like the Casanova has analog ins, "two pair analog L/R, plus one pair rear L/R, a center and sub..." Of course this may have been an optional card which your particular un... | |
| What medium priced amplifier is best with vinyl? Name your price range. I have a Cambridge 640P feeding an Onkyo A-9555 integrated and like it a lot. I prefer its balls and bass extension over the sub $1K British integrateds. It sounds like a much bigger amp while retaining the speed and transpa... | |
| how should i move forward...blu-ray etc...? 02-09-09: ChadnlizWhy cant it pass the signal from an internal Blu Ray decoder?Because it doesn't have an analog 5.1 or 7.1 channel input. You can only connect a coax or Toslink digital link, or an analog stereo pair from a new Blu-ray player with... | |

| how should i move forward...blu-ray etc...? 02-09-09: Richard_stacythe analog input card is 6 stereo rca inputs for line level analog output devices,Right. That's what I thought when I went to the Theta website to read up on the Casablanca. Multichannel input is limited to SP/DIF, AES/EBU, ... | |
| how should i move forward...blu-ray etc...? I was all set to recommend a Blu-ray player with internal TrueHD and DTS-HD MA decoders, but there's just one thing, and correct me if I'm wrong:The Theta Casanova does not have line level analog 5.1 or 7.1 inputs.If it does, then by all means con... | |
| More convinced of analog than ever 02-06-09: TketchamSo how were the presentations? Anything new and interesting? In addition to the things I already mentioned, the front end in the desktop Magnepan room was very interesting. They had an Apple Mac iTunes server and a NanoPod docked... | |
| Oppo 981 vs 983 Which Has Better Picture Quality? 02-07-09: RyderI think I'll skip the 981 as it does not have component outputs, and I need that for my projector. So it's either the discontinued 983 or the upcoming blu-ray player, which I suspect would cost quite a bit. Don't assume that. The 98... | |
| Ortofon 2M Black vs, Clearaudio Maestro 02-07-09: OnetwothreegoThe Maestro has better specs than the 2M Black. Channel Separation on the 2M is 26db and > 35db for the Maestro. Channel Balance on the 2M is 1db and .3db for the Maestro. An interesting thing is that the much less expens... |
