| Thoughts on Placette Preamps? I am using a Placette balanced volume control between my Theta Gen Va and my Music Reference RM-200. It blew away my CJ Premier 14 and a Audio Researce LS-15. | |
| DVD player as a CD transport? I bought a used Panasonic A-120 for $75, I was going to use it as a DVD player but I decided , just for fun, to hook it up to my Theta Gen Va in place of my Sony 777sacd that I use as a transport. I am shocked at how good the Panasonic is. It is t... | |
| Theta DS Pro Gen V or newer? I've never tried an upsampler between my transport and DAC. Thanks for the offer but I think I will hang on to my Theta. It is the one piece of equipment that has stood the test of time. I'll probably get the 24/96 upgrade or just wait for the ful... | |
| Theta DS Pro Gen V or newer? I've had my Gen Va for 5 yrs. and decided to try one of the new upsamplers just to see if I was missing anything {It was the Bel Canto 1.1 } While very good for the money the BC just wasn't in the same class as the Theta. | |
| Good speaker match for Sim Audio W5 Try the Magnaplaner 3.6r, the Sim amps love Maggies. | |
| What DAC for Theta Carmen Look for a Theta Gen Va. You can pick one up used for $1500 to $1800. | |
| Bow ZZ-8/Theta Gen V(a) and Sony SCD-777 I am running a Gen Va with my 777 and find it to be a great combo. It has a huge soundstage, great detail and is also warm and musical. | |
| Question for SCD-1 and 777es owners. Pick up a used Theta Gen Va for around $1600 to $1900. I'm using one with my 777 and it is a great combo. | |
| Maggies and subwoofers I'm using a REL Strara 2 with my 1.6's. Every now and then I turn it off and I shake my head and wonder how I ever listened to these speakers without it. It was the best addition I have ever made. My system consists of: Sony 777 sacd, Theta Gen Va... | |
| Placette Audio Volume Control I'm using the remote volume control between my Theta Gen Va and a Music Reference RM-200. It really doesn't seem to have a sound of it's own I had a CJ Premier 14 for awhile and I liked the sound ( or should I say lack of sound} of the Placette be... | |
| REL Storm Setting for Maggie 1.6 I use a Strata 2 set at 30hz or 33hz | |
| Magneplanar 1.6 break in period my 1.6's took 200hrs to sound good and then evey month for about 6 months they just kept getting better. Be patient and you shall be rewarded. I also added a REL Strata 2 subwoofer , it was the best upgrade I've ever made. With the sub I think the... | |
| THETA GEN 5A OUTPUT GAIN CHANGE MOD I agree wholeheartedly with 1953 but would maybe substitute a Placette remote volume control for the Ref. Line. | |
| 24/96 Theta Pro Gen Va I would wait for the Gen 6 mod, probably available this year. | |
| DAC at us$1000 Ken, I have a Bel Canto Dac-1 that is less than a year old I could sell you for $850. Let me know if you are interested. |
