| Upgrade advice needed This thread was intense, fast... and over, but I offer one other simple suggestion that came to mind in reading about the OPs situation and the suggestions received. When the NAD preamp section was returned to the loop, I would insert one of your ... | |
| Suggest budget CDP to use as transport Thanks for your feedback. CEC and EAD both gone already. Will keep eyes open. Do I take it that Pioneer made good transport mechanisms with well implemented SPDIF output? The Pioneer unit currently for sale lacks remote and seems expensive for wha... | |
| AV Receiver recommends OK, how do you like the Marantz? | |
| AV Receiver recommends Other posts have answered your questions pretty thoroughly. I would add just a few comments. The Marantz web site claims the SR5010 can handle low impedance loads, so if the CM1s dip much below 8ohms, that may not be a problem. At under 23 lbs and... | |
| Transport signal thru mult cables simultaneously? Interesting, as usual Al. Thankskn | |
| AV Receiver recommends Thx-333, the CM1s are nice speakers, but not very efficient. I would go for more power to drive them. I doubt 100 watts is produced with 5 channels driven.kn | |
| Transport signal thru mult cables simultaneously? Thanks, helpful. Do you have any thoughts on the relative importance of break-in for digital vs analog cables, based on theory, experience or other reference? I have read in several threads here about people breaking-in their digital cables, and I... | |
| Audio Sensibility Statement Digital Cable Ozzy and Devilboy, so you both have experience with break-in being important for digital cables as well? Trying to figure out how dielectric interacts with high frequency digital signals versus analog signals. Maybe it is even more critical for di... | |
| Transport signal thru mult cables simultaneously? Al, is this because you do not have an opinion regarding breaki-in of cables in general, or only for digital cables? | |
| HDMI Cables Thx-333. I'd say the consensus here is split down the middle. I think different digital cables definitely sound different based on my limited experience, including HDMI cables. May I suggest you buy a couple of cables, the Monoprice that seems to ... | |
| Best HDMI cable for sound - your experience Thanks for all of your replies. I bought the Audioquest Vodka cable yesterday. 10% silver wires with silver plated solid copper connectors. I don't know of a WireWorld dealer here, so would have had to order, but your recommendations got me to try... | |
| AV Receiver recommends I ended up with Arcam AVR400. Using with Monitor Audio speakers, but demo 'd it with B&W M1 and PM1 mini monitors and it just killed comparably priced NAD or Marantz IMHO. Sounded absolutely terrific with the revealing PM1's. I have longer ter... | |
| Most enjoyable speaker you heard under $800?? If you need to operate close to the back wall, consider a used pair of Totem Arros. | |
| Arcam A49 Integrated Fair enough, thanks. | |
| Arcam A49 Integrated What is your take on the A49 now? |
