| Rega P5 W/RB700 Cartridge Match / Mate ? Martykl, I don't dispute or doubt for a moment that you heard what you heard. I wrote what I wrote to indicate that although the Exact might be detailed and analytical to some, and in many situations, I heard it in a setup where it sounded detaile... | |
| Rega Elys II cartridge: Is it worth the money?? I haven't heard the Elys II, but I've heard the Exact on a P7 and was very impressed with its ease of presentation, air, detail, and musicality. It had detail but didn't beat you over the head with it. That said, I think (based on my experience li... | |
| Why does the Sunfire TGA 5200 Amp Sound So Good? I take it you use 4 of the Sunfire's 5 channels to bi-amp your Emerald Physics CS2's?I've been trying to figure out what amp to use with my new Mirage OMD-15s, which are also bi-wirable/ampable. I may have to look into the Sunfire. | |
| class d 08-08-08: DcstepDespite what one may read, Onkyo and PS-A are not in the elite class of ICEPower or Class D. They're good value for the money, but not really top contenders. PS and Onkyo have significant marketing budgets that garner them many rev... | |
| class d 08-03-08: Coffeey... I've listened to two different class d amps,and they didnt sound to bad,but just didnt pull me enough to pursue further so i sold them,it does seem they are quite promising.With the disclaimer that I've not auditioned class D ... | |
| Does Sony Blue-ray BDP-S350 output HD audio from ? My question is this does the de-coded HD audio signal come out from the coaxial / optical or analog outputs or only hdmi ?Just to set this straight, the new lossless surround codecs CAN'T be transmitted via coax or Toslink, ever, period. The SP/DI... | |
| What other brands do mbl fans like Mirage OMD-28. I have its little brother, the OMD-15 and couldn't be happier. Fills the room with no suckouts, bright spots, venitian blinding, or boominess.Mirage has painstakingly engineered these to throw a dispersion pattern and interact with ... | |
| Blu Ray or Oppo? 08-05-08: BobcelWait and be patient. Oppo is woking on a Blue Ray player. Sounds like a good idea. After reading from someone who's owned both, now I'm a little more inclined to go with a standalone player than a PS3. And I realized, I don't want ... | |
| Technics SL-1950 Get some official motor bearing oil (about $5.95 from kabusa.com) and lube up that old--probably dry--bearing. You'll be surprised how quiet and smooth it becomes. | |
| Budget AV Receiver with Magnepan 08-04-08: Bfrank1972Hah well I was actually looking at the option of my Denon with the Parasound 1205 (a couple on Audiogon for sale), but then I stumbled across a Rotel RSX-1065 ... at a price I couldn't turn down (Dude! Score!I hadn't thought ab... | |
| Best reasonable Phono preamp for Marantz TT15SI I have a Cambridge 640P, and I know it *can't* be the best you can buy, but all the tradeoffs must be very astutely balanced: It's so musically resolving with no glaring errors or noticeable compromises, and it tied a $450 Slee Gram Amp 2 SE in on... | |
| Blu Ray or Oppo? Once I saw movies on my HD-D2, I decided I'd never buy another std def DVD again. After watching several HD cable movies followed by another HD DVD from Netflix (KIng of California), I'm going to get a PS3 and start ordering Blu-ray rentals from N... | |
| IMAX Theater: Batman / The Dark Knight 08-05-08: Mitch4tThe Joker had me squirming in my seat.Oh yeah. I'm really sorry that Heath has left us, but he left us with the mother of all swan songs. I have never seen The Joker played with the malevolent, amoral menace that Heath brought to ... | |
| IMAX Theater: Batman / The Dark Knight For the most part, my HT rig has been the sonic equal or better of any theatrical film presentation I've ever seen ... that is ... until I saw The Dark Knight at the Boeing IMAX Theater in Seattle. I'm not even going to THINK about the money it wo... | |
| Musical Subwoofer for 2-channel system Based on my experience with three different subwoofers from them, I recommend you listen to Mirage before you buy anything. Their subs are musical first and foremost, and are easy to blend. Furthermore, with the room size you have, you want a smal... |
