| RCA output on a turntable? So now you know you need a phono preamp aka phono stage. Check needledoctor.com for a wide variety of phono preamps. Like any other component, they will range from below $100 to five figures. To answer your questions about turntables using RCA, th... | |
| Best ht speaker systems Your question is impossible to answer. As Tpreaves posted above, there is no best of anything. I agree. Especially speakers as they require you to listen and make a subjective conclusion. So the question is really what is the best speaker for you ... | |
| NAD 375 or NAIM 5i or NAIM Unite Qute Can't really answer that. I don't get hung up on DAC's too much - guess I am old school because the power & build quality of an amp that translates into its sound qualities is what comes first in my book. I have a 2 channel system embedded in ... | |
| NAD 375 or NAIM 5i or NAIM Unite Qute No problem Deetothevee. Yeah, I think the NAD 356 BEE DAC would be a good option. Sonically it will hold its own against the Rega and even the Bryston. So don't think your giving up any sonic performance for the value/convenience of the NAD. They ... | |
| NAD 375 or NAIM 5i or NAIM Unite Qute I don't get the NAIM thing. I want too though. I know they have a loyal following and have been critically reviewed but like another poster above, you don't seem to get a lot for your money. For value, the NAD 375 offers the most. It is Stereophil... | |
| Hooking everything up for the first time Your welcome Rev. Yes, you are right about no reasonably priced pre-pros. When you think it about it, they are basically AVR's without internal amps. They should be cheaper, right. NOT! Kind of makes you wonder how much it actually costs the manuf... | |
| Hooking everything up for the first time Sorry Rev, but you cannot hook those two units together. The Onyko NR515 does not have a set of pre-outs in order to use it strictly as a pre-pro. You are stuck with the Onkyo's internal amps. If it did have pre-outs, you would simply use RCA Audi... | |
| Amplifier for Sonus Faber Cremona M Yes, good analogy Mezzanine. The 802's sounded good but just not as musical as the Cremonas. I would be curious to know how you like the Cremonas with the McIntosh MA6300 vs what we already know - the Cremonas and the Marantz. Please let us know a... | |
| Amplifier for Sonus Faber Cremona M I have heard the same combo, Cremona M & Marantz 15S2 LE at a Magnolia Design Center. Here in my area, we have several and they like to pair the SF's with the Marantz reference gear.I agree with Johnnyb53, the Cremona M's sounded fabulous with... | |
| Wanted to buy an amplifier multichannel? Distinctive features? hmmmm...well, the McIntosh is the only one with blue power meters.Seriously though, all three are very powerful multi-channel amps capable of adequately driving any speakers you plan on hooking it up to. They would all do a f... | |
| Rega RP 3 vs. Pro-ject Xperience Cllassic Both are good tables for the money. I am sure you'll hear from owners in both camps. I have a Pro-ject 5.1SE with the Blue Point No. 2 so of course I'll recommend the Pro-ject. I especially like the 9"cc tomearm with this cartridge. The table you ... | |
| Should I fix my plasma? Sorry to hear about your problem. Been there myself.If you know electronics and have a good multi-meter, you may be able to isolate what board is causing the problem. Once properly diagnosed, recycled replacement boards are relatively cheap from v... | |
| parasound a52 amp vs rotel 1075 Parasound A52! Its heavier and even though its watts per channel is comparable to the Rotel, its produces twice as many amps per channel of peak current. The transformer is larger and capcitance greater on the Parasound. It has XLR inputs, the Rot... | |
| Would you help me complete a system? Manley and Rogue are great if the OP wants to go the route of tubes. Are you interested in a tube integrated or solid state? Very nice speakers you have by the way. | |
| How old are these used Vienna Acoustic Bach's? The current ones are the Bach Grands. I have them and consider them to be excellent speakers. My serial numbers begin with a 5. Not sure if this means anything.Seems to me an easier way to tell is to find out if the ones you thinking of purchasing... |
