| What HDMI Cable ? +1 for RadioShack Pipeline. Decent cable, sounds and video performance better than generic wires to my ears. For long run I use Blue Jeans to cut cost. Pretty decent too, for video at least. | |
| DIGITAL OUT: Optical Cable vs. Coaxial Cable Fwiw, I have found that the HDMI connection from my decidedly consumer level Panasonic BDP provides better sound than the Toslink for two channel redbook playback, using roughly equal priced ($50) cables. The Toslink is plactic fiber I believe. I ... | |
| Seeking alternatives to Oppo Thanks for the suggestion. | |
| Has anyone tried Arcam BDP300? That is very helpful. One last idea would be to get the Arcam BDP and use as transport with quality two channel DAC for redbook playback. That way get BD performance of BDP300 with more versatility and higher performance in two channel, although a... | |
| Has anyone tried Arcam BDP300? Thanks for your insight. Does your audio evaluation between Arcam and other two include redbook playback? Your Rega is outside my budget, but have considered just replacing my CDP with Arcam CD37 or Naim CD5XS or similar since I listen to more mus... | |
| Seeking alternatives to Oppo I don't want to hijack this thread, but I am looking for a one box solution for CD/BD to improve on and replace existing boxes in my HT/music system. I generally listen to more CDs and vinyl than watch movies. The Receiver is Arcam AVR400 which I ... | |
| Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83 You said streaming is the future. I never really disagreed with this, I tried to support your point above by saying that my kids generally get their entertainment from streaming/downloads/cloud supplemented with disks. My son is a budding audiophi... | |
| Recommendations for CL rated speaker cable Thanks all for the input.Internetmin, I am currently using AQ Flex 14/4 and AQ Type 4 (see link to original post on Agon "cables" forum for info on the HT/music system in question.) I really like the 14/4 cables too and have used them in several o... | |
| Recommendations for CL rated speaker cable Well, this is helpful actually. My house is new and I had to have the low voltage wires inspected as well as the AC lines before closing the walls. I think it has to do with fumes or flammability in a fire rather than electrical fire hazard of low... | |
| Best cartridge to reduce hum under $400 USD Thanks Viridian. | |
| subwoofer suggestions Do JL have high level inputs? I know they are great, sub that has made my pants legs flap. | |
| Best cartridge to reduce hum under $400 USD Thanks | |
| Best cartridge to reduce hum under $400 USD That seems like a cheap solution, will try shielding and grounding motor. Even 50% reduction in noise would be a big deal. Thanks.Yogiboy, assuming more weight is what's needed, your thoughts on adding weight to tone arm without changing character... | |
| Best cartridge to reduce hum under $400 USD Thanks for the input. If I understand this correctly, I don't think I am having ground fault problems, because when the cartridge is swung away from the table (past it's rest), the hum essentially disappears. Thanks all for the cartridge suggestio... | |
| subwoofer suggestions Update, I really liked the SB 1000s, but they did not go deep enough for movies in my room. Terrific on music and I liked the high level inputs for analog sources. Build quality was better than expected for the money. SVS took them back and refund... |
