| Blue ray player with good audio You are correct, there would be no advantage to get the Oppo bdp 83se. | |
| Need help with Blu Ray upgrade If the Krell HTS has five analog imputs and does not convert to digital then try it both ways and see which one you like. As listed above the oppo se only upgrades the analog sections and uses a different DAC. | |
| Warm Sounding Surround Receiver Buy an older Tube Receiver and have it serviced. Should be an excellent sounding mid range. | |
| What is current best REFERENCE DVD player I doubt if there is anything better than what you have unless you are going to go Bluray. Ayre is working on a new player but is very pricy. | |
| "AV" processor with outh the "V" ? Here's what I do. Audio is sent to SSR by optical cable (meridian 568.2). Video is sent to TV by Component Cable. You can get a several older SSR's near that price range. Or you can by a cheap Denon AVR and go that route.As Kal stated above you wi... | |
| Primaluna prologue 1 + Thiel 1.6 L Audio,I have Thiel 1.5 (predicessor to the 1.6) paired with a VAC PA90D series mono blocks (50 watts triode/ 100 watts ultralinear). I have a small room 16 x 14 and the 1.5 is 86 db with a fairly linear impedance. The VACs drive the Thiels easil... | |
| How to use 2 channel setup with 5.1 setup Stan1ollie,The MET1 is a 5 channel Tube Linestage. It has multichannel imputs. If you had a Oppo 83, you would take the 5 channel analog outputs into the MET1 then to your amp. The processing would have to be done in the Oppo. The idea is to not h... | |
| Need your inputs - Leaving HT to 2ch Nasaman,1. The only time I use my system for home theater is watching a dvd with a lot of action. Most movies do not have enough content to make a difference between 2 channel and home theater.2. I use a Calypso linestage in pass thru which sounds... | |
| Home Theater Preamp/amp advice. Jmetrisin, Is there a particular reason you don't like your system for music, since you only listen to music about 5% of the time? | |
| processor that could serve as a good preamp I basically do the same thing as Pkubica does, run my system thru a Calypso Preamp. The meridian processor sounds better with the gain up and sent thru the calypso for 2 channel. | |
| Thiel CS3.7 vs WP8? If you like out of phase speakers then the Wilsons are great. | |
| How quite is the Aesthetix Calypso Vs Bat VK3i Calypso is dead quiet with NOS tubes and gain reduced. Also was quiet prior to reducing gain. | |
| re-tubing CJ LP70s KeshuiYou could try the GE 5751 tripple mica or RCA 5751 tripple mica either black plate or gray. I have the black plate but not sure if the gray plate sounds a lot different. A matched pair of these are typically less than the 12AX7 tubes. These ... | |
| re-tubing CJ LP70s The cheapest route would be to change out the Telefunken 12AX7 tubes in the Calypso to something not has solid state sounding as the telfunkens. You could try Mullards, Amperex or one of the NOS 5751 tubes. That's what I did. If this doen't work t... | |
| Need preamp recommendation Jylee, you will also need to check with VTL to make sure you can use a 5751 in the 5.5. |
