| ADCOM vs Rotel amps & preamps for sound quality I started out with Adcom gear and then went to Rotel and Parasound gear. I think that the rotels sound more refined than the Adcom stuff but I definately recommend listening yourself to see what you like. Some of the older Adcoms are going pretty ... | |
| Universal player with HDCD You can also get the latest Oppo. It plays DVD-A, SACD and HDCD. | |
| Adcom 5503 or two 555 IIs? I would say that if you want to stick to Adcom, go with the 5503. If you listen to a lot of two channel and decide you like the 555 II better, you can always set it up to use the 5503 for the center and rears. I don't know much about your speakers... | |
| NHT ST4,is this a warmer sounding speaker? I don't think the new NHT's are as warm as the older Supertwo's which the ST4 replaced. NHT switched to a metal dome tweeter that makes for a brighter sound. I have compared the Superzeroes, Superones and Supertwo's to the newer SB-1s. All the spe... | |
| Inexpensive HT Receiver - NAD vs Marantz I friend of mine bought two Marantz refurbs (I can't remember the model number, both sounded great but had a problem reproducing the correct color when using it to switch between s-video sources. After sending them both back, he bought an Integra.... | |
| Additional amplification? I have both the Parasound 1500a and the Rotel 991 which is the predecessor to the 1080. In the store I auditioned both of these amps on Monitors and liked the Rotel better but when I brought them home and put them on my NHTs, the Parsound went on ... | |
| B&W vs Martin Logan I wouldn't use George Lucas as a guide for speaker buying, we all know he can't write/direct, so why would you think he can hear?-Kevin | |
| Where are you? Do you know what your FM is doing? I live in Lafayette Indiana and I hate our radio stations. I swear they downloaded everything from Napster. Anyway, I sold my Mac MR71 knowing that it would never achieve it's full potential. -Kevin | |
| Which Amp for my NHT 1.5's I run the 1500a on my mains and love them. I have NHT Supertwos. -Kevin | |
| AV receiver for 4 ohm speakers? Integra, (the beefed up Onkyo) has a setup menu where you can select 4 or 8 ohms. I run the DTR 7.2 and love it. All the features of Onkyo with better performance. I highly recommend this receiver. I run all NHT and a friend of mine has the DTR 5.... | |
| Any ideas on Amp selector boxes? I looked into doing this a couple of months ago. the only thing I could find was made by Niles Audio but it only had spring clips. I gave up. If you find one, let me know.-Kevin | |
| I wanna hear some "audio" jokes...and Oh man, maybe that wasn't such a good idea. | |
| Have You Ever Put Your Golden Ears to the Test?? I guess all I can say is that I have been the test subject in a blind test for cables. I was sure I could hear a difference until I couldn't identify my expensive stuff from my inexpensive stuff. The three other audiophiles I was with couldn't tel... | |
| Weird Bass Reponse on my Speakers. you also need to consider your test equipment, a radioshack SPL meter is by no means flat in it's response. I use one all the time while EQing a room for my PA but always end up fine tuning afterward. My advice is to use your ears and decide what ... | |
| Suggestion for Amp to 2 ohm loads? It would help to know what you are trying to do with the amp and your budget. For a budget audiophile like myself, McIntosh and Krell, even used are way out of my price range. I do know that the good old Adcom GFA-555II is rated at 325 watts at 4 ... |
