| Small room....treating 1st reflection points Check out ATS acoustics web site. I have built several panels using their material. | |
| What would you upgrade? I would investigate integrated amps. Of the 5K budget what is allocated for turntable and phono stage? Is the Mac used for internet radio only? | |
| Why a separate DAC? I am not familiar with your AVR however it is likely it can be used as either multichannel HT and 2 or 2.1 channel audio for music. Many BD players are not at their best when used for CD playback. Your player could be used as a transport into a st... | |
| Why a separate DAC? The extent that you would benefit from an external DAC would depend on use of system for music vs. video and what sources you listen to, CD vs. DVD/BD vs. computer. | |
| Looking for an advice about speaker cables I also am trying the canare 4s11s for a second system. Bought 20' from chromaleaf via E-bay for $38. Will terminate myself. I believe the recommended audioquest cables to be better however more expensive. Can't speak to the advantage (retrurn on $... | |
| UPgradeing dedicated line components Very much appreciate the exchange between Lacee and Zephyr. I now have a focus on room 'tuning' . Ptss, I have considered power conditioning for pre and digital. Currently using a Monster cable conditioner for digital. (DAC and DVP) Keeping digita... | |
| Help out there for my "lost" Bel 1001 Mk I's Bdp24, thanks for the info. I will contact Brooks. | |
| Need directions - Connecting components Using interconnects of choice hook the integrated amps Pre out RCAs to the amp inputs. Select 'Seperated' with the switch. | |
| Which of these 3 dacs is your favorite? I am happy with my BDA-1. Several inputs. However, the USB is not asynch, therefore, you should use a USB/SPDIFconverter with the Mac. | |

| $500-$1000 budget lots of questions please advise What will you be using as a source? | |
| vincent sv226 MKii or vs236 mkii I owned the 226MKii. Thought it was a great sounding integrated. More to the warm side than cool and analitical. Never heard the 236. Not familar with your speakers, how difficult are they to drive? What are you using for amplification now? | |
| Help out there for my "lost" Bel 1001 Mk I's Sorry to hear of your situation. Thanks for the heads up on AudioSumma. I have a 1001 MK5. Love the amp. Not sure what I would do should it need repair. | |
| Someone point me in the right direction The Bitfrost is a good DAC, however does not have 2 coax inputs. Finding a DAC within budget with 2 such inputs, cambridge audio? | |
| Tube Preamp to Match with Aragon 4004 mk2 You made no mention of budget. I use a Jolida Fusion with my BEL 1001 MK5. The Fusion lists at $1300 and to me seem a good all tube pre for the $$$. Has HT bypass, remote, balanced ins and outs. |
