| Von Schweikert VR4JR Set Up Aball, what exactly do you mean, when you say "out of focus"? In my system they image rather well. Often times when listening to 2-ch. recording I have to get up and make sure that center channel is off. The center image is unbelievably stable and... | |
| Are you/or do you want involvement in a audio club Hi, Slipknot1. I'm in Philadelphia area as well (NE). Where exactly are you? One great system you have. I'd be interested in listening to a new music and systems, and of course have people over to hear mine. Regards, Ilia. | |
| Museatex Bitstream vs Bidat Howie, I have Jon Wright modified Bitsream in my system. So far I have only directly compared it with AckDacK- not even close ( Bitstream is better). Would be very interested in your comments on it's performance in your system. Regards. | |
| A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help Tonyptony, the difference between Bryston and Mac was pretty significant, I almost tempted to mention proverbial "blanket taken off of my speakers". More detail, better defined bass, very transparent HF's, very "musical" and "organic sound". Actua... | |
| A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help Hi, I think that you don't need an HT processor at all, since you already have it in your Marantz. All you need is a high quality analog-only preamp. I could give you a few options: McCormack MAP-1; Bel Canto Pre6; McIntosh C-45; Meitner Switchman... | |
| Speakers that work close to the back wall I mean front baffle to the wall. | |
| Speakers that work close to the back wall Thank you, guys. I feel that I need to emphasize- not against the rear wall, just close, 2-3 ft. and about 7-8 ft. apart. actually I read numerous posts suggesting, that Totem speakers can be placed not far from the rear wall. Regards. | |
| Bryston 4bst/5bst vs. dreadnaught I Slightly off- topic. Can somebody include Simaudio Titan in the mix? I'm especially interested in Theta Dreadnaught I/II vs. Simaudio comparison. Regards. | |
| How good is the proccessing in Sony DVP NS 999 ES? Thanks, Treyhoss. My own impression of Sony decoding reflects yours. I didn't do direct A-B comparison vs. Bryston SP-1.7, since it's been sold already, but if the memory serves me well, the difference is reaaly negligable. So, I'm pretty happy wi... | |

| 5 Channel Amp for under $2k? Anthem MCA-50. 225x5 Wt./channel. $2000 list price, and of course less used (if you can find one, I don't see many of them offered on A-gon). Very well built, excellent sounding, very neutral amp. Some reviewers had compared it with Bryston gear i... | |
| Lead shot questions Where can one buy coated lead shot? Being a physician, I'm little worried about using uncoated lead in my house. I have Von Schweikert VR-4JR's and VSA recommends using 50 lbs. of lead shot in each. Speakers do have specifically designed built-in ... | |
| Bryston SP1.7 Bypass or Digital In ???? Thank you, Distortion. Actually, I've asked James this same question ("true analog" preamp), and at best, his answer wasn't explicitly clear, meaning, that I'm still wasn't sure, that there is a completely separate MCH preamp, analogous to BP-25-l... |
