| good CD player with variable output? I guess when I meant "high-value", I meant more along the lines of "value for money", or "bang for the buck" Can't see myself putting $6k or more for an Audio Aero Capitole for the garage!How about something under $1k new or used? | |
| Which high end DVD-A would you recommend. Mig007 siad, "The beset dvd-audio player to buy is the Pioneer D-47 and have it modified by Modwright". How does this modified player do as an SACD player? Once modified, is it comparable to the Sony XA777ES? Better? | |
| Subwoofer upgrade? If you're not willing to put your sub off the floor by 6 inches, regardless of the direction in which the sub fires, you should put the sub up on cones or spikes. This will certainly help some of the boominess you have. Another cause of your boomi... | |
| Sonic Frontiers SFD-2 MKIII I've been wondering about the unit as well. I've hav eheard that it is superior in many ways to the SFD-2 MkII. I currently have an SFD-2 MkII and have been considering an upgrade. I've recently compared my SFD-2 MkII to a new Camelot Arthur 24/19... | |
| Problem with EAD Powermaster PM1000 My Powermaster 1000 was perfect out of the box. Sounds great too. I have owned 4 EAD products overthe years (the PM1000 being the most recent) and have never had a problem with any of them. | |
| Best 5 or 7 channel amp under 2K You really can't beat an EAD Powermaster1000, (200w x 5 channels). Can be had in mint/likenew or demos for around $2000 or just under (they were recently discontinued by EAD). Fabulous sounding amp, smooth and musical with great basss extension. W... | |
| Wadia, Audio Aero, Meridian, BAT and BOW I'll take one at $2800 as well! | |
| Looking for a new DAC -- Tube or not tube? Yes, I had noticed that a used Muse 296 might be a good option. Used units in the $1000 - $1500 range will also be considered, as long as the technology is reasonably current. | |
| Best used 5 channels amp. for both music and movies EAD Powermasters make fine 2 channel or 5 channel amps. The Powermaster 2000 if you need 400watts x 5 channels and balanced inputs, the Powermaster 1000, if you can live with 200watts x 5 channels (really amounts to alot more into 2 channels) and ... | |
| Need recomendations on Pre-Amp / processor The EAD Theatermaster also has advanced bass management, and as was said before outstanding 2-channel sound (and great multi-channel sound as well). It also has all the analog bass throughs you could ever need. | |
| EAD new Singature-8 Has anyone upgraded? Rcarlsen- How would you characterize the sound? How is it different than the old Ovation? How is the Digital to analog conversion? I rarely use it for HT, and probably wouldn't use the 8 channel analog pass through. I'm kind of hesitant to upgrade... | |
| the who Is the MCA GOld CD of Who's Next any good? I've heard that these are also fairly rare. How does is compare to the MFSL version? | |
| AMPS: PM2000 or Pass X5 or ? How old is your PM1000? The older units, I understand had this problem, and EAD has a modification to correct it. (I belive it was partially to do with input sensitivity and gain) All of the "later" PM1000's have it. I would call EAD and ask them ... | |
| Hubbell hospital grade outlets w/ surge protection Yes. I am well aware that surge protection and power conditioning are not the same thing. Most power conditioners have surge protection built in. I was wondering since it is thought that power conditioners limit power and do other potentially nega... | |
| Best Male Singers of the 20th Century On the rock side of things, I would say David Sylvian, David Bowie, and Bryan Ferry (all of whom were missed by those above).On Jazz and standards, the above posts got all the greats. |
