| Found good & affordable amp for Magnepans Bondmanp, I did upgrade my Pandora to 'Pandora One' for about $4/month. This increases the streaming audio to 192 kbps. I did notice an improvement in fidelity which I can best describe as "CD like performance". Point well taken on standardized m... | |
| Found good & affordable amp for Magnepans Thanks for the encouraging responses, you guys.Correction: I just realized I made a mistake in my post on the price of the CDA SDS-440CS. I stated it as $660, but it's actually only $630.Thanks | |
| Aragon 4004 channel dead, Chadnliz, My 4004's right channel recently went out but it wasn't preceded by any noises. It turned out to be leaking capacitors in the power supply. I decided to buy a new amp because my 4004 is about 23yrs old, who knows what else is about to go... | |
| 2-XPA100 or 1-XPA-2 EMOTIVA... WHICH???? One more alternative that I just bought: the ClassD Audio 440SC (or 470 amp). Supposedly similar to the D-Sonic sound for less dough. I haven't heard this yet but am taking a chance based on word of mouth on several forum sites. It's not a big cha... | |
| Best AV receiver to use as an AV pre amp Dalyd31, After just rereading this entire thread, I've come to the conclusion that: 1. I will be giving Snofun3 an actual or atleast a verbal atomic wedgie. This will necessitate me pulling Snofu's underpants waist band firmly upwards from the bac... | |
| Best AV receiver to use as an AV pre amp Daalyd31, I agree with some of the other posters that, if you really want better 2-channel sound, you're going to be disappointed by just switching to another AVR. You may get marginally better,or atleast different, sound from a different avr. But... | |
| 2-XPA100 or 1-XPA-2 EMOTIVA... WHICH???? Moregunk,You might want to check out the newer D-Sonic class D switching amplifiers on your magnepans. As you probably know, magnepans sound best with plenty of power. I have the same brand. but much older ones, and can attest to this. But I agree... | |
| B&K Ref. 30 Problem Marco, Sorry, should have read your post more closely, thought I was onto something. You have the bluray hooked up to the 5.1 inputs and the Fios box hooked to the digital input and you're having the same problem through both input types. I'm stu... | |
| B&K Ref. 30 Problem Marco,I just sent a reply for your Ref20 post. What I said was to try setting your center channel to 'No' to cause the Ref30 to generate a phantom center. Good luck. | |
| B&K Ref. 20 problem Marco, You may need to set up as:Center channel? No. This would then tell the processor to generate a phantom center. I'm not certain but it's worth a try. Good luck | |
| Are there really any high end pre/processors at a I agree with Fplanner; there's no reason to sacrifice your 2-channel sound if you want to add the fun of home theater. I really enjoy Dolby digital and DTS surround not only on movies, but on regular tv as well. It even makes commercials more bear... | |
| Experiences with Blu-ray players Gammajo, I'm also looking to add a BD player to my HT and I've been researching via the internet sites and forums and came to the conclusion that the Oppos seem like a good solution. They just came out with 2 new models: the 103 and 105. These rep... | |
| Integrated Amp with HT by-pass Kzhtoo, You could also just get a new preamp with HT passthru. I think tubed preamps paired with ss amps offers better results than all ss. I use a VTL 2.5 tube preamp with HT passthru with a ss amp and it not only improved 2-channel performance d... | |
| Help: right channel not working on Yamaha rx-v3000 Ihcho, If it works for the rca input and plays at the speakers, that eliminates a blown output channel, which is good. My guess is that it may be a bad digital cable. Some, especially early, digital cables were fiber optic and contained glass inte... | |
| Magnepan CCR Center Channel Speaker Southernphoenix, I use a CC3 with Magnepan 2.7 mains. The CC2 and CC3 are similar and only go down to 80Hz. I use a subwoofer with my center channel and it improved the CC3 sound greatly. This is the principle behind the CCR: a very good center ch... |
