| 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... | |
| Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83 Macdatexas,It may not matter if BluRay is much better than DVD or not - it won the format war at a time of transition from "low" def to "High" def, and it is the product sales people will be telling there customers to buy when they come in to upgr... | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers Chashas1,Thanks for the prompt reply to our inquiring minds. Interesting to me that the thick Maple slabs are that much better for your application than the birch plywood. This is what Mapleshade and other purveyors of solid Maple platforms claim ... | |
| What the most musical power amp for under $1K? In addition to my previous recommendations, I second the Odyssey Audio suggestion - either a new khartago or a used Stratos. | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers I use bamboo under my speakers over a new oak floor, and it works great. tighter bass, better imaging, etc. | |
| Totem Arro efficient enough for NAD C315BEE? Clo,I love the Arros - but not for this amp and not for mixed HT/music use. In addition to the Revel F12 listed above, I suggest you look at these:Paradigm Monitor 7Monitor Audio RS6 | |
| Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83 I think BluRay will make a bigger difference on screen sizes above 50" - FWIW. | |
| Best bookshelf speakers under $1,000 for NAD amps? Look at the Rega R1 and the B&W CM1. | |
| Pre-Power or Int Amp for Totem Wind I like the Sim Audio and Ayre separates ideas. Also suggest looking at Musical Fidelity Superchargers combined with a more modest Ayre or other integrated. The higher end Krells could also do the trick. | |
| set up question cambridge This is probably a good thing if you think it sounds good when turned up to the desired listening level as it will give you much greater ability to control the volume at lower levels. Cheap volume pots often have problems with channel matching at ... |
