| Cary DVD 8 DVD player I posted on this forum and Audio Asylum when I was asking questions about the DVD8 which lead me down the path of research that end with me buying the HD-970 (980 was not out yet). Others confirmed my findings. I expected Cary to do mods or add a ... | |
| Cary DVD 8 DVD player From my research and photos of the inside and out the DVD8 and the Oppo HD-970, the DVD8 is a repackaged Oppo HD-970 in a Cary chassis with a detachable power cord and shielding over the switching PS. A sturdy chassis and good PC can make an appre... | |
| Cambridge Audio 840C Mdconnelly,I have not heard the 840c but am considering it. But, I must admit that having a 3D soundstage with good air, blackness, and edge delineation carries a lot of weight towards a good listening experience. Once the cdp shopping comparisons... | |
| Rega Apollo vs. Cambridge Audio Azur 840c Has anyone else have had comparisons that feel the Cambridge is a better player than the Apollo? Daltonlanny,Thanks for your feedback comparing the 840C to other highly rated cdp's.I what ways has the 840c impressed you more than the Apollo and S... | |
| Rega Apollo vs. Cambridge Audio Azur 840c Nice mini review on the 2 cdp's. Thanks for you insights. I think I would prefer the 840 for the same reasons you stated. I love absolute vocal clarity and outstanding dynamics. I have had the laid back sound before and I eventually tire of it, bu... | |
| Jolida JD700 vs Jolida JD100A I auditioned both players. (Plus a Cary CD308, Rega Planet 2000, and an Onkyo DVD player) Without going into detail, the audio performance of the 700 isn't up to the 100. The 700's remote was also a cheap waffer remote (like that of the Bose radio... | |
| Any Disadvantage Using DVI-HDMI Adapters? Ryder,Non whatsoever, assuming the quality of the wire is the same.HDMI carries audio and videoDVI carries video only. It has been the pro standard until HDMI came along. | |
| Is this a crazy idea. I think we got way off base talking about active vs. passive speakers. Maybe another thread should be started on this subject.The whole idea of this experiment is to put together a very good HT system using my vintage JBL monitor speakers, and the... | |
| Which processor? Linn, Rotel, Outlaw, Meridian? Stay with Linn all the way, including their interconnects and speaker wire. You will be glad you did. | |
| Marantz versus Denon Blockerbrothers is correct. If you are after audio and video performance the Arcam 350 is the one to beat according to the Hi-Fi reviews. | |
| Is this a crazy idea. Geared4me,I currently watch movies in high end 2 channel as well. I'm quite satisfied......but after hearing how incredibly dynamic and detailed the JBL 4312's are I got on this kick to use them in a vintage quad system, although they would be at ... | |
| Is this a crazy idea. I'm getting mixed response. The idea is not to have a modern 5.1 or 7.1 HT system but a HT using vintage equipment. So let me try again with more clarification.I have 4 vintage JBL's control room monitors that are dynamic and accurate. Much music ... | |
| LINN Majik vs Classik vs Wakonda vs Kairn It may be quite old.The 1st Briliant Power Supply was the size of a toroidal. It BPS wad inside a shielded enclosure the size of a toroidal. Are you sure you don't have that one? If you have a small S/N you may not have a BPS. The round BPS was an... | |
| Linn Kolector or Wokonda preamp? Would love to get the newer Linn...will have to see how funds go. I will get the best I can afford. Thanx for the info everyone.Incidentally, is the 5103 preamp still worth considering or is it out classed by a Chakra amp? | |
| Linn Kolector or Wokonda preamp? Thanx Newmanoc for the valuable insite as you progress up the Linn food chain.I have heard good things of the 5103 and 2250. I heard the 2250 is better than the Klout)This would be the one to get if I can afford it. |
