| Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83 Macdadtexas,You said at first:"The advenet of internet based movie downloads is already available in HD. Granted, it's only 720 and no HD soundtracks, but does anyone believe that is not coming, and quickly. I love using my AppleTV to rent movies,... | |
| upgrade path from Dynaudio 52SE So Miner42, upgraditis delayed for now? I didn't pile on the Rotel-Basher Bandwagon because I really like the 1082/1092 combination. That kit is definitely not "Lo-Fi". I would think set up properly with decent wires this pair could make the Dyana... | |
| upgrade path from Dynaudio 52SE Stricken and Okocza,I didn't mean for the "house sound" comment to be taken negatively, and maybe I used this term in error - its just that Dynaudios I have listened to - mostly Audience, Focus and Contour lines - have had a similar presentation a... | |
| Well Rounded Speakers $2500-$3000? I would add these great speakers to your shopping list:Dynaudio Focus 220 IIEpos M16iUsher Be-718 (small but great)Acoustic Zen Adagio (used)Devore Gibbon 8 (used)I really like the Totem Forest, Vienna Acoustic Beethoven Baby Grand - both are just... | |
| totem model 1 vs. quad 11L Agree with the 12Ls - that makes it a hat trick. | |
| best cd player for 300-500 bux Tubes.Here is another thing to think about. The DACs in the DACmagic are the same as in the Cambridge Audio 640C version 2 - "dual Differential Virtual Earth balanced filter topology and twin Wolfson WM8740 high quality DACs in dual differential m... | |
| Downsize to Digital Integrated Amplifiers? Hmmmm. Some digital amps sound pretty good to me - others sound overly dynamic or a bit hard edged. I think you should go listen to them. If you like how one of them sounds, then that is probably what YOUR future looks like. And you will have not ... | |
| upgrade path from Dynaudio 52SE Miner42What is it you don't like about/want to improve about the 52SE's? That would help us provide some advice on potential speakers. Dynaudios have a "house sound". Do you want more of that only better, or something completely different? | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers Jrb25,According to Mapleshade website: "You can't get good sound just by placing the speaker's flat bottom on the floor or on a stand. Because of the large area, low-pressure contact, much of the cabinet's vibrational energy is reflected back inst... | |
| Cambridge Audio 840C Foster_9,Was not aware of impedance matching being the source of problems with the lower bass reproduction with that player. But I just read the preamble for the Stereophile review posted on the PrimaLuna website - yes, looks like they acknowledge... | |
| Cambridge Audio 840C The 840C is a great player for the money. The Bryston is fairly neutral if that is your thing. But if you can afford it, I would get the PrimaLuna with the $85 board upgrade - in another class in terms of performance and you can role the tubes to ... | |
| I always do something stupid... Happens to the best and worst of us - probably because none of us are dispassionate about our hobby and we get excited to try the new tweak, cable, position, next album, etc. and forget the logical sequences. I have made most of the same errors yo... | |
| Totem Arro efficient enough for NAD C315BEE? Johnnyb53,I was taking room size into account. The Monitor 7 and RS6 are not big speakers, but they are more efficient, their presentation is a little punchier than the Arros, and they do lower bass a little better. The Paradigm and Monitor Audio ... | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers Maril555,That is the point of large thick maple or other slabs - to drain vibration away from your gear while at the same time keeping vibrations from your gear, particularly speakers, from interacting mechanically with your floor and setting up u... | |
| Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83 Macdadtexas,We will have to agree to disagree - perhaps my old school perspective is clouding my mind. I have not fully warmed to mass digital storage and playback of my music collection because I am so dumb I need/like to have the jewel case / re... |
