| Entry level amp I agree about the NAD. And sure they offer digital inputs. Any of the DAC models in NAD’s BEE line of integrateds.The 356BEE DAC with 80 real wpc & DAC should work nicely with your speakers. And at below your budget. | |
| Entry level amp You have very nice speakers but I doubt that the entry level Elite AVR you have has the stones to properly drive them. Isn’t it a shame that the very AVR’s that need pre-outs the most, entry level ones, don’t have them. Unless you absolutely wa... | |
| totem/nad denon I do not believe you can do this. The Pre-outs on the back of your AVR are meant to go into the inputs of a power amp. If you connect these to AUX inputs of your NAD that are line level, you are sending the signal to the NAD's pre-amp and not p... | |
| Phone stage for VPI Scout 1.1 Its actually more important to match the phono stage to the cartridge you are using, not the TT. So in this case an Ortofon 2M Black. Being a MM cartridge, you want to find a phono stage that has as selectable capacitance as low as possible to a... | |
| Why buy Pro_ject, Music hall, Rega turntable when you can buy couple hundred dollar a good vintage? Yes, I have experience with both - modern tables from Pro-ject and Music Hall and a pristine vintage one. I also agree that a properly functioning vintage table made in Japan by Technics, Sony, Micro Seiki, et al can compete and perhaps even soun... | |
| totem/nad denon You are pondering a huge mistake if you like music. I'm with all the others and do not trade your NAD for a Denon AVR. The preamp sections in AVR's, even in so called Pure Direct mode are a mere afterthought. They are built for digital surround... | |
| This is what the typical consumer group considers the 5 best turntables This is truly indicative of the modern consumer. Most important criteria...It has to work (at least for awhile). It must be cheap. It can't be too heavy so I can throw it away when it breaks. And be able to buy it using a $700 smart phone in on... | |
| Yamaha? Welcome back! The 2100 looks like a great amp and glad to hear your enjoying it. Has power meters too!Marantz, like Yamaha also has two lines of components. Their mass market HT stuff and quality 2 channel components still being built in Japan. I have been h... | |

| B&W 'New' 800 Series i am skeptical of anyone who takes him seriouslyThat's only because a whole new group of A-Gon members are just discovering Bo. Those of us who were around and remember when he first crashed this site several years ago, know better and so will the... | |
| B&W 'New' 800 Series audio is about facts. Not about the things you would like to hear.I always knew that I could understand audio a lot more easy than all my colleagues. When you train your brains thousands of times the same way for a long time you see and understand... | |
| B&W 'New' 800 Series Wow, quite an answer Bo. I have just two more questions and they pertain to your below quote...This is why I started in 1998 to become aware of properties. I have proven that it is superior effective in endresults.How did you become aware of these... | |
| B&W 'New' 800 Series Stage depth and width are parts you judge audio for. In the world of highend they are important.OK. while every sentence you wrote sounds totally subjective to me, I will only ask a question about your opening one Bo that I quoted above.How do you... | |
| B&W 'New' 800 Series You don't like the comments, audio is about facts. Not about the things you would like to hear.Then why is everything you say about audio equipment your own subjective opinion Bo? Please site the "facts" that every brand, except for the ones you s... |
