| Cambridge Audio DAC Magic Plus (+ NAD C372) vs Cambridge Audio CXA81 - opinions please Ugh my reply didn't post. Let me try again but be shorter. I had the cxa81 and cxnv2 for less than a year. The amp itself is powerful and it's presentation was muscular and forward. You either will like this or not. Personally I did not. The bass ... | |
| Cambridge Audio DAC Magic Plus (+ NAD C372) vs Cambridge Audio CXA81 - opinions please I had the cxa81 for a year or less. I paired it with the cxn v2. It is a very powerful amp and sound which I would describe and muscular and forward. However I found the combi to be a bit fatiguing and the bass was muddy not tight. The attack wasn... | |
| SR8015 + 2ch amp VS separates Soix thank you. I didn't even think your suggestion was an option. It's yet another consideration to the whole problem. When you say the marantz has a garbage preamp vs a stereo integrated, what are you basing that off of? I know measurements are ... | |
| Best 9 channels power amp? Thanks for suggestions everyone especially since I'm learning a 1 box multi amp doesn't seem possible for what I want. Millercarbon maybe I misinterpreted your comment and this is what you mean as well. | |
| Best 9 channels power amp? 213running thank you for your answer. It's exactly what I've been thinking. Doing all these hours of research and ultimately I don't think any one company really has an amazing multichannel amp ie more than 5 channels. Like the yamaha mxa5200 for ... | |
| Best 9 channels power amp? Millercarbon. Previously I had a Cambridge audio cxa81 and now I am running the naim uniti atom for stereo sound in my living room. I completely agree with you the sound is much better than on a multichannel avr. However running my home theater I ... | |
| Acoustic panel for room treatment Agree this is a huge topic. Would at minimum recc considering treating 1st reflections on side walls (both same side and opposite side speakers) treating corners with bass traps... treating front wall with 4 inch panels behind your monitors. Abso... | |
| Yamaha MX-A5200 or CWA-1 Knowing the mxa5200 seems like a huge waste of channels if you're just planning on running two speakers? It's an 11 channel amp. Why not get something like a 2 channel for $900? | |
| QRD diffusor as sound sidewall? Size? If you mean that one side is a wall and the other side opens into your kitchen you should absorb on the side wall not diffuse. The open space into the kitchen acts like an absorber since sound get in there and gets "lost" and doesn't return to the... | |
| Treat SBIR behind your flat screen? Auxinput thank you for your post. My understanding of SBIR is that the front speakers produce modal frequencies that are not directional ie the the direction the speaker drivers are facing. What occurs is that the modal frequencies being omnidirec... | |
| Treat SBIR behind your flat screen? Two left ears. Should I repost a new topic there? I have no clear option to change it otherwise. | |
| Atmos null at 1270 khz on audyssey editor app Russ. I'm not sure. I have a drop ceiling and the speakers are installed in the grids that way. I measure using the auddesey app and the included mic on a tripod. I just find it strange all 4 have the same type of reading. My other speakers do no... | |
| Naim Uniti Atom vinyl playback? Mezzanine thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for. I also had the same concern about the digitizing (for multi room originally). I currently am running the naim atom as an audition. It is much better than the cxa81 in my opinion. The att... | |
| Path of signal from turn table to speaker thank you optimize. I do try to simplify what comes down to a very complex topic especially when you inject opinions into it aside from the science and facts. This is why I'm glad to be learning still about Hifi audio. Its incredible how much deta... | |
| Path of signal from turn table to speaker Lewm it would seem then that the phonostage is likely more of what contributes to the sonic output and all its qualities rather than the amp (assuming the pathway is a separate phonostage connected to the amp analog in)? This would also suggest th... |
