| 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. | |
| Hum question What table are we talking about? is it grounded? where is it plugged in? | |
| Upgrades to UHD Blu-Ray OLED is the next technology for TV's, looks way better than UHD. Currently the 40" OLED are running around $3000.00 or more. This is why the 4k's are coming down so fast in price. Wait for 6 mons and see where the OLED TV's are then, in size and p... | |
| Help with System Musicality If I were you I would change out ALL your cables for the same brand Like Morrow Audio, Only then will you be able to make correct upgrade choices. Honestly, Cables (and they don't have to be expensive) will make or break your system. The gear you ... | |
| What tube preamp is a step up from Rogue Magnum 99 I 2nd the Modwright! Good call Winoguy. But, I find that I like the Manley Labs Jumbo Shrimp even better, (I loved my Modwright SWL 9.0, My dad has it now) or Manley Labs 300B! All of these preamps use a different tube set but they all sound warm ... |
