| Rock and roll speakers? Some classic JBL Century 100's would fit the bill. Or some vintage Cerwin Vegas!! LOL | |
| Will my Rega Apollo be a good transport? Yes the Apollo is a good transport. I would look into any DAC that uses either a Burr Brown or ESS Saber DAC chipset. This will give you a warmer and more analog like sound. | |
| Best sounding MC phono box at $250 or less?? The Nagaoka MP200 is a very good cartridge for Jazz and vocals. It has a lush presentation and is one of the more detailed MM's I have heard. I would not call it a rugged all around great tracker (like a 103R) it is a more delicate cartridge. I bo... | |
| Best sounding MC phono box at $250 or less?? The Denon 103R is NOT a good match with the RB301 tonearm. I would recommend staying away from this combo as it is not going to sound good. A medium compliance cartridge would work much better like a Nagaoka MP200 or a Dynavector 10X5 (match made ... | |
| MSB BREAK IN PERIOD I have a older MSB Nelson DAC and I remember it took at least 100 hours for the stuff to break in. Sounds better after 50hrs. Then really opens up later on :-) | |
| McIntosh MC7100 - power switch, leave it on? Other than the lights going dim sooner, there is no problem with leaving the 7100 on all the time. In fact its better for it. I leave my SS Mac amp on for days at a time, if I know I will be listening. | |
| 2006 McIntosh MA6500 new unwrapped in box..value? You might have 2 years warranty If your the 1st owner..Call Audio Classics and ask them they are in Vestal NY. You can ask about value as well. | |
| Upgrades to UHD Blu-Ray 4k is the HD TV where you have a LED TV with TONS of pixels packed in there. I think with your plasma TV it would make sense to have a Oppo 105 or something like that. Then all your blue rays would be upsampled to 4K! I think the Plasma would look... | |
| Sub suggestions I've seen your 2 sub system BOB ....I rest my case. | |
| Sub suggestions " as I said before the signal reaching the driver in the sub IS NOT the same signal as that reaching the drivers in the main speakers"Cannot not DISAGREE more with this statement. When the Sub is connected by using the MAIN amps output taps all th... | |
| Sub suggestions "the speaker level signal that reaches the main speaker's drivers isn't the same one that reaches the subwoofer's driver(s); remember there's an amp in the way in the subwoofer" So Bob, What other connection to the sub do you recommend for proper ... | |
| Need opinion with new cd player purchase I would highly consider the OPPO 105 ($1200) It uses the ESS Saber Dacs. Also it has Balanced and un balanced audio outs, plus it is a universal player! Then you can always upgrade it for $2500 (the truth Mod by Modwright Instruments adds tubed ou... | |
| Amp and preamp on same outlet? Audiolover, don't worry too much about it. If your ARC were to be plug in to its own circuit , you would hear a slight increase in bass definition and weight overall. But, I would not let it keep me from enjoying the music, if it sounds good, it i... | |
| Should I switch to a preamp with balanced outputs Most great sounding pre amps do not even have Balanced connections. I'm not sure what the Question is? XLR connections are really meant for long cable runs, that's why its used in professional studio and stage environments. All balanced does is pr... | |
| no sound hegel. H80 You might have to set your computers sound to output the correct sample rate for the Hegel to recognize the data stream. Ie...16,24,44,48, change this setting it should be the fix. |
