| My Classe CP700 preamp needs service I would only send any of my gear to where it was born.......they have the parts, resources, and techs to repair it properly | |
| Help with high level subwoofer connection You can buy banana plugs that you can piggyback another banana to. Spades are much more secure though..... | |
| Concert Experience for $5k? Impossible with a 5k budget in my opinion..... when I was young I had a pair of Klipsch CF4 towers driven by a pair of B&K M200 Sonata amps along with a Velodyne ULD 15. It was loud sure ,but it still couldn't present music like a live per... | |
| Need Balanced DAC with optical and coaxial inputs for 2 channel home theater system I have my TV connected via Opt.to the M51 and HDMI from the cable box to the TV, that way my wife and kids can watch TV independently from the stereo. My Blu Ray is via HDMI to the M51 and I plan on connecting a Bluetooth Receiver to coax. | |
| Help with speaker placement in my real life room That's a good idea putting them on wheels to position. I solved part of my room issues with some curtains and a small area rug. I put sub on a Gramma platform and decoupled my speaker stands on spikes. Since placement could only take me so far... | |
| CD/SACD Player. I know there are many threads but I still would like help. You can not go wrong with OPPO players...... they play virtually every format. I have the 103d and it's a good value for $600. The 105 is even better on the audio side if your budget allows | |
| Why should i be a fan of Revel speakers? I think Ncarv summed it up pretty well. The Concertos sound great, they are non fatiguing, you can listen to them for hours on end. They are smooth and more forgiving of mediocre recordings.The Revels have incredible transient response, they are s... | |
| McCormack LD-2 pre or a Mark Levinson? The LD2 is supposedly using a much better volume circuit than the RLD1 that it replaced.....I had a RLD1 and it was very good, I'm just not a fan of push button electronic volume control. That said I replaced the McCormack with a conrad-johnson ... | |
| Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced Blue Circle has been around for a while, probably not as well recognized but certainly good gear. Their new integrated amp with selectable tube/solid state input section looks pretty cool. | |
| 2 recent, weird and isolated issues with BD playback No experience with the McIntosh players but I recently upgraded the firmware on my OPPO 103d. Shortly after the player started acting weird, had I fully read the update I would have realized that it was imperative that the player be reset to its... | |
| Upgrade AVP or separate preamp/DAC for 2 channel? The conrad-johnson ET3 is an excellent preamp, it is a full featured remote unit that has a unity gain HT bypass......you have a great amp and speakers so something like it would be a good investment | |
| Best Monitor not over 1K, new ot used PSB Platinum M2, fantastic speaker.....I wish I never sold mine . | |
| Amp choices That Aragon is still a nice amp, some would say better than the Parasound.....those speakers are definitely worthy of something like a Pass. | |
| Life without a remote About two years ago I was looking for a preamp to replace my McCormack RLD 1 preamp , which was no slouch to begin with. It was a full featured remote pre, although I never really like it's digital volume I did appreciate it having a remote. I... | |
| What does oppo stand for? I'm using a NAD M51, it's a great combo. The OPPO really is a nice machine, it replaced a Sony 9000ES and a Panasonic bdt500. The Panasonic was nice, it really sounded good through its analog outs for a BR player although I was using it with wi... |
