| Sad but true – budget HT 10 years in making Did you audition Pioneer's Andre Jones designed SP-BS22-LR for the L/R surround? For the "one rear" speaker you can go with the center channel speaker in the same series. Do you HAVE to spend $900-$1500? As RW mentioned above, if you are happy wit... | |

| How good is Empirical Audio's Parasound JC1 Mod? Doug99,here is Dan's review:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ramps&1119985513His 2005 system shows that he has the amp. But the last poster in his review indicated that his amp was for sale. | |

| Speaker cables for NAD C356 and PSB Image B6 I had the older NAD C352 integrated and used the Signal Cable Silver Resolutions. I think it is a very good match, the Resolutions being transparent and neutral. If that is a bit higher than your budget, then you can opt for the Ultra Speaker Cabl... | |

| Source XLR to Balanced Preamp will increase gain? Ralph,I am not so tech savvy. Thank You for the heavy dose. I want to learn more. Can you please explain "differential" and "floating"? I understand that pin 2 is +ve while pin 3 is -ve. Based on your explanation I am tempted to try a RCA to XLR a... | |
| Source XLR to Balanced Preamp will increase gain? Al,As always, useful feedback.I was actually referring to my TVC, which is passive. Yes, active preamps do increase the gain. But since TVCs are just attenuating the voltage, I assumed that the CDP's 4V at XLR, is 4V at each +ve and -ve leg. Hence... | |
| Source XLR to Balanced Preamp will increase gain? Thank You for your perspective on the XLR connections.The thing that seems tricky is that some CDPs mention the same output level 2.2V (for example) in both RCA and XLR connections while some other CDPs mention exactly twice the output level in XL... | |
| AURALiC Vega I recently read a couple review on the Vega and was left pretty impressed. Would like to hear from fellow-goners if they have tried or have it in their system. | |
| When did you start to love music and why? No one at home was "into" audio, except for the radio (2-in-1) that used to play for couple of hours each day. Started as a fascination for mini-audio systems from Kenwood, Pioneer, Sony, Technics etc when I was in school (7th grade maybe). This w... | |
| Marantz sa-11s3 I was wondering if anyone out here has compared this Marantz to the Oppo BDP-105 for the SQ. These 2 players are on my shortlist. But I wonder if the Marantz is worth the extra $$$ over the Oppo, while not having the latest DAC, cannot do DSD or o... |
