| How to check my preamp for a DC leak I'll be interested to hear the explaination as well. Almost sounds like a snipe hunt, but I'm sure there's an explaination. | |
| 2 channel home theatre My home theater setup is an Integra 50.1 reciever with the Focal 836v mains, Martin Logan Dynamo 700 subwoofer and a pair of Infinity TSS-800 surrounds. The rear channel speakers are pathetic compared to my Focals and I don't use a center channel ... | |
| 2 channel home theatre Something similar to the Integra DHC-40.2 ($1,200 retail) should be more than adequate for a 2.1 setup.Another interesting solution might be the Denon S-5BD (retail $1,800) that is a receiver/blu-ray player that you might be able to "cheat" a bit ... | |
| 2 channel home theatre If your system sounds good to you for 2 channel music listening then it should be fine for HT as well. The only real gain, in my opinion, would be the addition of subwoofer for the .1 effects channel that never seems to be quite right without a de... | |
| EXPLAIN HD SACDs to me. I'm not familiar with HDCD beyond knowing that it exists.As for SACD I'll try to give a quick general overview. It is processed differently than a standard CD and the sample rate is higher (i.e. the digital signal better approximates the analog si... | |
| Inexpensive sub for MG12's Bwp - I purchased my Dynamo 700 from Audiophile Liquidators and had an immediate issue with it (a problem with the wireless transmitter). They were very friendly on the phone and had me sent it back for testing. In the end, they shipped me a new s... | |
| Inexpensive sub for MG12's I would try to listen to the Martin Logan Dynamo 700 or 1000. Audiophile Liquidators currenly has the 700 listed for just under $500. I'm pretty happy with my 700 and I think it crosses over all the way down to 35 Hz. | |
| One Super high end cable or mid level set? Pani,Your "scientific" explaination makes sense to me. I wasn't thinking about the reletive magnitudes of the signals at different points in the system. It would seem that if it does actually make as much difference as you suggest that having IC s... | |
| One Super high end cable or mid level set? Pani - Your response makes no sense to me. Let me explain.Assuming a CD player outputs a perfect signal via a perfect cable, that signal is going to be processed in a pre-amp and sent via an 80% "perfect" cable to the amplifier. I don't understand... | |
| What's a "large" room It's in the overview, but appears to be square meters rather than volume and isn't listed for every model. I saw it for the 806v and 826v specifically. I was assume that they are talking about rooms with normal ceiling heights.I was mistaken in th... | |
| What's a "large" room The Focal website lists room volumes for each speaker. Maybe similar information is available for other brands? | |
| One Super high end cable or mid level set? Let make the assumption that you're getting the last 10% of improvement for ten times the cost and the mid-level cable cost is $250. It would make far more sense to have 10 cables that are capable of 9 out of 10 compared to a single 10 out of 10 w... | |
| integra dhc 80.1 It appears that the DHC-80.1 has balanced outputs that are not available on any of the other preamplifiers or receivers. Is that the feature you're choosing it for? | |
| integra dhc 80.1 Actually, the DTR-80.2 receiver shows on the website, but not the DHC-80.2 preamplifier.I think the DTR-50.2 is probably a better value than the DTR-80.2 when it comes to receivers, but don't know anything about the preamplifiers. I would imagine ... | |
| CD player how much to invest Ironically, the only other forums that I've participated on that have less concensus are religious forums. It amazes me how similar the discussions in audio and religion really are. The biggest difference is that there isn't a judgement day where ... |
