| New digital source recommendation soix2 not off track at all. this post is for discovery. honestly I'm stuck in 2-ch analog playing rebook CDs, & in the dark about products like Innuos & Qobuz. But I'm not completely in the dark ages, I do subscribe to Amazon Music & h... | |
| New digital source recommendation Been researching the diff. & best I can find is X1100ES has a built-in DAC and X800M2 does not. Otherwise the two are identical in features. I will use the Integra AVR DAC for SACD, CD & Blue Ray (I don't plan to significantly expand this ... | |
| New digital source recommendation Thank you mahler123. I've been checking out many forum threads here & on AVS to get ideas, and two units caught my eye have been the Sony UDP X800M2 ($250) and X1100ES ($500). | |
| Cartridge Left Channel Dead Tobias - thanks for the response. i will check out soundsmith; also goldring responded to my email, and they too would repair it as long as the body is not damaged, they say. it's not; actually its in great shape so i might take that route. got a ... | |
| Cartridge Left Channel Dead i swapped the connections from cartridged to tonearm (left to right, right to left). that's how i confirmed it was the cartridge. | |
| Denon DVD 2900 problems with SACD I have had my Denon 2900 for a year now, and have had no problems playing redbook CDs, SACD, DVD-A and DVD-V. BTW DSOTM plays just fine & all the way through; this is a classic, I luv this one! | |
| Help choosing tube monobloc's I have a pair of VTL MB250s (same as MB450 but wired for triode only and 25w more) driving Aerial 10Ts, speakers that need quite a bit of power to shine. I too like to listen to classic rock and full orchestra classical music. This combo rocks! Tu... | |
| Which Solid State Amplifier is Making you Happy? Before you spend big bucks, you must listen to Bryston's 7Bs (ST or SST). Some speakers like the B&W just need to be "spanked". If bass control is what you crave, the 7Bs have it in spades. Except for the bass, it is quite nuetral. You can how... | |
| Biamping from a 5 channel amp? The NAD T750 being a receiver, not really a 5 channel amp, you need to make sure it can be setup to send a full range stereo signal to ALL channels ALL the time. For instance the rears channel amps may produce a signal only for a DSP generated sur... | |
| N802's - Bi-amp or better amp? I have 10Ts, a bit more difficult load than your 802s but similar in amplifier demands. You can never have too much power, especially if you have a large room. My evolution began with 150w stereo, 250w monos, 500w monos to today's passively bi-amp... | |
| retube VTL amp Zaikesman - thank you. the mb250 runs in triode only, so it is worth considering & also to get a different perspective. "tubes rule"btw ... it will cost about 33% more to get the tube set from vtl for the mb250s. | |
| VTL Super Balanced Feature Option I would also like hear the thoughts of others about this upgrade. If you have had this upgrade performed on your amplifier, I'd like to hear your thoughts.For my MB250s, VTL would like $1000.Much appreciated in advance. | |
| retube VTL amp Zaikesman - thanks for all the tips with tube install & debugging. it will come in handy.can u elaborate on "less tubey" about using KT88 instead of 6550. i hadn't considered anything but 6550. i recall reading somewhere Luke Manley recommends... | |
| SF Line 2 and SS power amp right now, i am using a arc pre 650 ohm to a bryston amp 20k ohms to very good effect. impedance matching was not an issue. i had a sf line-2 briefly many years ago. paired with a krell amp presented no problems.more important i think to consider ... | |
| Need help from Pass X-600 + ARC Ref 2 MK1 user i have an arc ls25 mk2 with bryston 7bst. these components i believe have very similar impedance specifications as ur arc and pass. both components are dead quiet and even with my ear to the speaker, no noise.i don't think its an impedance mismatc... |
