| 2 ch. or 5.1 amp for HT mostly for music This is just my personal opinion. I used to have a complete home theater, now I have a stereo. Think about this for just a minute and maybe you'll seen what I found out, for myself anyway. You have $5K, $10K, $15K, etc. in your hand ready to buy s... | |
| Best Amp. stands Check into one of the Sistrum stands at www.audiopoints.com. You can even audition one on a trial basis at home to see if you like it. | |
| Any DAC better than the MF A324 Upsampler? Are there any MF Tri-Vista 21 DAC's left? It's really nice. I had a Theta Gen III and traded it for a Conrad-Johnson D/A-3 (about $400.00 used) that blew the Theta Gen III away, I think. In fact, before I traded mine in on the Tri-Vista, I had the... | |
| Changing to less expensive gear. I decided to start upgrading after six years of having the same system about this time last year. Being a computer programmer, I figured that the best place to start was on the digital end. I began with the digital cable, replacing my old MIT Digi... | |
| Ageing Krell KSA150 - repair or replace I would consider replacing you KSA-150. I had the KRC-3 Pre-Amp and KSA-50S Amp and thought that it was "IT" until last Christmas when I heard the Musical Fidelity A308cr Amp. I couldn't stand to listen to the Krell after that because the drums an... | |
| Suggestions on a good Stereo HT from $1000-$1500 Thanks, Slappy. I appreciate your time and thoughts. | |
| Power Cables - 15amp or 20amp Yes it matters. Most will be 15 Amp. However, the Shunyata Hydra-8 and 6 power conditioners require 20 Amp. The normal ones that you see are 15 Amp. The 20 Amp connector looks different. | |
| Getting more from my DAC Try the Stereovox HDXV like Photon46 suggested. It's a great digital cable. It's only $100.00 and may be purchased (or just auditioned first) from The Cable Company. Ask for John Pharo, he's a nice and knowledgeable guy who can really help. The Ca... | |
| How good is my amplification? Advice please. I recently traded my Krell KRC-3 and KSA-50S (about $6300.00) in on a Musical Fidelity A308cr pre-amp and amp (about $6300.00).I had the Krell's for ten years and thought they walked on water. I happened to hear the Musical Fidelity pieces and had... | |
| Whats is the the best? The best center channel I've ever used was nothing! Seriously, I had a HT with four Adcom GFP-555 amps (two bridged to mono for the fronts), Definitive Tech. BP-20 and BP-10 full range towers all around, and a Lexicon processor.I sold it all and b... | |
| Question for Dunlavy ScIII users Mike, you asked about the room. My room in the basement is 16' x 23' with a 7' ceiling. I've had the system on both the long and short wall. The short wall worked better because I have the speakers 4'-5' out into the room, and along the short wall... | |
| Question for Dunlavy ScIII users I'm glad Piezo brought up tubes. I bought a pair of B&W Silver Signatures ($8000.00) to use in my main system when I moved it into the basement because they were stand mounted monitors. They didn't have the bass of the Dunlavy's of course, so ... | |
| Question for Dunlavy ScIII users Like Spudco said, the Dunlavy's are easy to drive. I had a pair of SC-III's for a short time, but returned them for the SC-IV's for more bass. I drove both with a Krell KSA-50S, 50 watts into 8 ohms, but the Krell is a powerful amp. The Dunlavy's ... | |
| Need some Suggestions on Best Digital Cable I have two suggestions. First is the Stereovox HDXV at $100.00, it's made by Chris Sommovigo who made the Kimber D-60 ten years ago. It sounds better than the D-60, and it's $200.00 cheaper. The reviewers are praising it. Second is the Sonoran Pla... | |
| Digital Cables Thanks Michael! I'm glad to hear about the Theta against the Musical Fidelity. One thing that I don't understand is the transports, since they should just be reading and sending the data. You know, if you just put the CD on repeat, you can get 168... |
