| Preamps w/HT BYPASS that works when preamp is OFF. Cary SLP98 has HT bypass when the unit is off. It must be specified that it has this feature. | |
| I need help with my Equipment addiction thx for the suggestion, but it's in our main great room area, and aesthics (the wife) won't allow any room treatments. I am just happy she lets me have the gear in here. | |
| Marchand Excellent idea! I love those speakers too. | |
| HDMI cable made a difference in picture quality?? Once again, I have seen no noticable difference in HDMI cable output with the different cables I have tried. It could be those seeing a difference are using some of those "Magic" power cables too, that "open up the soundstage, and reveal the inner... | |
| Marchand Stanwal, I would call Marchand if I was you. The owner has forgotten more about crossing over speakers than the collective brain trust here has ever known.If he has made a crossover for your speakers before, he has a set of parameters worked up al... | |
| Power Cables which take the soundstage back HiFiTime that great, and the best part is that between the 110 MW/h turbine genarator, and the new blast deflection soundproofing you have so kindly suggested, I'm probably only going to be in about $22 million. That's still less than a lot of the... | |
| New To Vinyl... Seeking Recomendations All the new Chet Baker pressings I have gotten have been great, as are all of the Miles Davis (sounds like you like jazz).Also, I have found the many new pressings get very noisey quickly, whereas older records in good condition, are quieter. I am... | |
| Crossover Tutorial You can use one of several models from Bryston, Marchand or Berhinger. If you talk with Paul Marchand he can probably design one of 4 different set ups they have available for your specific speaker. Certain models like Magnepan's he can tell you n... | |
| Speaker Recommendation for Nuforce Cary Blend Try to Paradigm Signature S2 or the small Harbeth's, those would both sound stellar. Either of those would allow you to upgrade you preamp to a Cary SLP98P or ARC LS26, and get a vinyl rig.Love the NuForce, very nice, the Paradigm Sig's are a sick... | |
| HDMI cable made a difference in picture quality?? HDMI looks much better to me than component video. But, I have not been able to tell the difference between HDMI cables. The inexpensive ones I bought from Fry's look/sound as good as the Audioquest one the I bought to test. | |
| Please recommend a budget tube dac MHDT is great. I loved the Havana, and have heard great things about the Pardesia as well. | |
| Sub for Quad ELS-989 Vandersteen 2wq, JL Audio Fathom (F112 I think depending on the room size), Rel B1, B2, or B3, once again depending on the room. | |
| Power Cables which take the soundstage back I've had my whole house rewired with pure 10 awg copper, but the power from the grid just doesn't do it for me, so I've gone green and added a wind mill and enough Solar Cells to generate my own, clean, green power. But since it rains a lot in Hou... | |
| Sub Recommendation to handle both music and movies with your budget I would definitely look at SVS. In that price range you should be able to find a great used SVS. | |
| Best Amp with Magnepan 3.6's Ajackson1, I have decided to part with my Cary monoblocks. When they are pried from my cold dead fingers!!!!I do love these things, they are much warmer on the top end than the 7Bsst Brystons where.The Innersounds (now Sanders Sound) are really su... |
