| How much does the transport affect sound quality? As Zd stated, the transport is important. As a well thought of universal player I would think the 751BD has a quality one.However, I am not surprised that the BDA-1 improves the sound for CD playback over the 751BDs DAC. I use an Arcam DV-137 into... | |
| Integrated amp for B&W 685s Thanks Theforerunner. I have heard the 685s driven by a Rotel 1520. They played well together as one would expect given they come from the same parent company. I would like to compare the sound of my pair driven by the NAD vs, A Rotel. Just haven... | |
| DIY Stereo Rack Ketchup, great stand. Both the process and the result must be very satisfying. I agree that the hardwood shelving and threaded rod approach seems one of the most easily built, cost effective, practical, vibration free options. I was going to go th... | |
| Removing components from between the speakers I tend to agree with Mikelavigne. I believe we all chase the ideal even when constrained by budget, room bounds, other room uses. I also believe the room to be the most important component of a system and tuning of that room to be the greatest f... | |
| Best pre-amp in an integrated Given that you are developing your 1st system, have a budget of ~$2000 for an integrated amp and DAC, may move into separates in the future, it my opinion (what I would do, have done) would be to:1st identify the speakers that meet your priorities... | |
| What Determines The Amount Of "Current" In An Amp? Ralph, are you saying that the amp is delivering 20 volts to the speakers in the above example? 100=20*(20/4). | |
| Best pre-amp in an integrated I agree with J135. If separates are a fairly certain future purchase I would buy a used integrated which could be sold at little loss when the upgrade is complete. Enjoy the quest! | |
| Best pre-amp in an integrated It seems to me that your best approach might be to decide on speakers 1st. Then select a integrated that compliments them and your tastes. I would stick to an outboard DAC to afford you greater flexibility should you decide to upgrade. May need to... | |
| Best pre-amp in an integrated I agree with Robr45, too many unknowns regarding your quest. I few that come to mind:Your budget range for the integrated is quite wide. A 3K integrated would fit nicely into a 10K system. What other components do you currently own or are consider... | |
| Yet another Cheap DAC thread... I use a HRT Music Streamer II in a 2nd system. Simple and sounds fine. Can be bought used under $100. I have not heard the other mentioned DACs. | |
| Does alcohol impair appreciation of sound? I enjoy listening under the influence (LUI). It seems to me that the soundstage opens up. Physiological, psychological or emotional reasons for this? My approach is with 77jovian, still conducting research. | |
| What is the future for Proac Speakers ? I agree that many companies change distributors, sometimes things improve afterwards, sometimes not. I would not have a problem with the Email approach. Feedback value will much depend on nature of question(s) asked. To ask if they are in trouble ... | |
| comparison of different dedicated AC line types? I would run 10GA to an amplifier. | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers I have been following and hope the best regarding your purchases. | |
