| Help with Balnced for Pre and Amp Only Speaker cable change?...not necessarily...unless it just doesn't sound so good in the first place, then you can change of course. As for Balanced making an improvement, yes it probably might, even though your sources are not balanced. All you have... | |
| looking for a better DVD player Actually, I think ALL the players you mentioned will give you fine picture really. however, you may want to look into players, such as the Pioneers newer units and Theta's pieces, which will pass a pure, untruncated, 24/96 digital signal for the a... | |
| Martin Logan, thinking of upgrading HT speakers?? Actually normally I don't do this...but I would recommend, especially if you are mostly into movies, that you stay with your otherwise excellent Merldian and Aragon gear for your uses...home theater! You could shuffle pre/pro's and amps around, an... | |
| Change needed at Audiogon Personally, I don't understand why you would get offended or upset at someone sending you a simple email, pressenting some other options or asking some questions that you may or may not have considered originally!..it's all communication and negot... | |
| Differences between BW N804 and BW N805? Yes, without a doubt(and I've sold Nautilus/matrix myself) the 804N's are better than the 805N's, yes!!! Better bass, better top to bottom sound, everything! Also, you can biamp the 804's for supber results if done right..yielding an evem much muc... | |
| What would you upgrade next? biggest improvement for you you right off the bat, given my experiences with hearing the vast majority of audio enthusiest's and even audiophile's systems I've come across out there, IS DEFINITELY THE SET UP/ACOUSTICS!!! 50-60%+ of the overall sou... | |
| Sony SCD-1 vs Krell for CD playback For straight CD 16/44 playback?...it's a wash. I've dealt with the Krell and Sony SACD both, and they are pretty close when it comes to playing back standard bit CD's. Super?...another story. The SACD stuff is obviously supperior in general. But t... | |
| Is there a preamp w/ a built in 24/192 upsampling? You might check into Meridian,Wadia, Theta, Ayre, or Boulders stuff. Otherwise, the only pre's out there that do this from a digital input, are pre/pro's designed for multichannel movie appllications and 2 channel music combined(i.e, AV pre/pro's)... | |
| Two channel home theater set up yeah my recommendation, and vast experience/knowledge, tells me you can forget the "no subwoofer" approach, if you expect good sound from you're movies. No speaker you're considering will sound anything less than strained, compressed, and/or disto... | |
| What is the minmimum room size for Magnepan? First, let me say I have extensive exprience with most models of Maggies in the last 5 years. I can say without a doubt, that there's no hard and fast placement measurement/distance rule(as with ANY speaker!) for the maggie!...it depends on the ro... | |
| VTL ST-85 Amp, any Preamp recommendations.... well my thinking is that, if you're going with virgos, you're probably not a dynmics junky, and don't do heavy percussion, rock, regae, new world, etc,...right? if you're more into vocals, instrumentals, quartet, jazz, light classical, etc, you co... | |
| What Power amp SS would you recommend........ parasound HCA2200, 3500, or similar, yes...volume control for easy volume match with top amp, and very very good solid bass for cheap!!(a parasound trademark really)...In my oppinion, if you're spending more on higher end amps for your purpose, yo... | |
| Does anyone have any impressions of Montana Spkrs? Sure..as an unbiased observer/listener, and owner of much high end over the years, I think they sound fantastic! They sound like a Thiel and a Dunlavy combined really. They're clear, dynamic, detailed, coherent, etc. I actually had the pleasure of... | |
| Safely combining 2ch. and HT. Yeah, the fact that you are going out of your CD players analog output, and into your HK's analog inputs(rerouted from through your 2 channel preamp between them), which might be changing your analog signal back to digital, then back to analog(?..... | |
| Tubes or SS for B&W Matrix 805 I've sold the 805's on a retail level over the years, and my experience with them is that they need more power than 80w/ch tubes can dish out usually! To push the soundstage and dynamics, higher power seems to work better on em, even tough they ha... |
