| 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. | |

| EAD Theatermaster Encore Opinions Look at it this way. You can upgradethe Encore to the latest Ovation-8 Theatermaster for $1650. Add a $200 for display and latest remote for roughly $1850. Yuortotal cost would be just over $3000 for what is bascially a brand new Theatermaster Ova... |
