| how to connect yamaha rx-a3050 to a mcintosh mc206 amp. elevick is right. Send the Fronts and the Center speaker to the Mac. This would be an easy setup to get you going right now.Then learn more about the Mac, because it can drive all your speakers. | |
| how to connect yamaha rx-a3050 to a mcintosh mc206 amp. I looked at the back of the 3050,Pre Out Front goes to your Mac. Then hook up front speakers to Mac.On 3050, rear speakers hook up to Surround Back.Center speaker hooks up to Center.You will need to use the menus to adjust the gain and type of sou... | |
| Changed amps - center image moved Are you using any acoustic treatments on the front wall between your speakers? And how far away from the wall are your speakers?Some absorbtion between the speakers can help with a more focused image, along with distance between the speaker and wa... | |
| What happened to class H amp technology???? Thanks for a great explanation, bombaywalla. The Carver SS amps were a Class G design; high power and they ran cool. | |
| WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX bassdude, I agree that the FedEx policy sounds ridiculous, but with Hifi gear, it's always safer to double-box. As a former UPS employee who worked on the line sorting and unloading trucks, knowing how those packages are handled behind the scenes,... | |
| up to $2,500 to spend............ What is your current CDP?I'll second the Schiit Yggdrasil. It's a multibit ladder DAC, and although I've only read about it, multibit would present a more natural sound from digital.Plus a 15 day return policy. | |
| To Power Condition or Not to Power Condition? Power conditioners often, being filters, limit maximum current reducing dynamics. Most of power supplies consisting of transformer, rectifier and capacitors draw current in short peaks of high amplitude. Any filters' impedance will affect it.... | |
| CD player or CD transport ?? Totally agree with mattmiller. There are many variables in a transport to DAC setup. A dedicated CDP in the $2000 range would be designed with a high quality DAC, transport, isolation, and master clock. The clock plays such an important role, sinc... | |
| To Power Condition or Not to Power Condition? What components are in your system?If you're using the Pangea AC9, a move to the 9SE MKII Signature will be a dramatic improvement, most noticeably in a blacker background. Very good cable for an amp.The 14SE MKII Signature PC's are excellent for ... | |
| To Power Condition or Not to Power Condition? I have no first hand experience with the PS Audio Dectet, but I like that it provides isolated filtering for both analogue and digital. | |
| Vibration Control for Lightweight Tube Components I found some scrap wood today in the house and pulled out a board which had been cut in half. It's a soft wood and lightweight.Using 5 Moogels underneath, I swapped it with the bamboo and take a guess...my system sounds terrific. It's got a warm t... | |
| To Power Condition or Not to Power Condition? The problem that I see regarding the Shunyata VENOM bundle is that it includes a high-current PC. Power cords are specific to components, IOW, this PC may be great for your amp, but not for a preamp. Plus, it comes with the Defender, which you may... | |
| Vibration Control for Lightweight Tube Components Tomorrow I'll play with placement of the Moongels, and I do have various pieces of wood to try.adg101... what are the dimensions of the Daedalus DiD's, specifically the height?I have a height issue with the large tubes now that I've added the bamb... | |
| Vibration Control for Lightweight Tube Components @bpoletti, no I haven't. @r_f_sayles, the Isonodes are adhered to the bottom of the chassis. Let me clarify this issue; my system has always had lush, warm sonics using a preamp on the pine shelf. With the new lightweight preamp, it still had the ... |
