| amp to pair with decco for under $1000 "amplifier with phono" means integrated amplifier, yes? An integrated amplifier has it's own preamp so you would be using the Decco as a DAC in that case, no? Or, you get a power amplifier and a separate phono preamp to go with the Decco running a... | |
| Maple platform question I notice Mapleshade sells what look like solid Maple platforms. Anyone notice difference between solid wood and laminated blocks? Between vertical grain butcher block and horizontal grain laminated blocks? | |
| Best Speakers match for NAD C372 Agree sound quality better per dollar for monitor speakers all things being equal. Problem is, if just starting out, usually need good stands too - which run between $200 and $400. That's why I suggested floor standers at first.Also, good monitors... | |
| Dynaudio Focus 140 vs Totem Model 1 Signature Lush,If I worked for George Lucas, I would probably have a better stereo...In fact, I used 2.1 sound in my HT system - I am more into audio right now.I simply suggest THX as a simple way to assure you are getting a used mass marketed AVR that has ... | |
| Maple platform question Points well taken. I just lucked out and bought a very large (21x15x2) European Beechwood board at Home Depot on clearance for $18.95. If you have HD in your area, you may want to see if they are clearing them out. I have a maple board in my syste... | |

| Dynaudio Focus 140 vs Totem Model 1 Signature Hieule5,OK. It depends on the size of your "midget". A Denon 280X or higher model should definitely be able to drive the Audience 72/72SE just fine. A Denon 230X "midget" might sound passable. Any smaller Denon "midgets" definitely not recommended... | |
| Best Integrated Amp? Help... Great choice! Enjoy. | |
