| Levinson 360 vs Benchmark I' shopping right now. I hop to find a used DAC at a fair price. I've pretty much narrowed it down to the Benchmark or a Levinson. I would need to get the Levinson at a very good price so the odds are against me in that regard. With repairs on Lev... | |
| Levinson 360 vs Benchmark Thanks for the input Thedautch.It's great to hear about what could be expected. There are many out there that spend a lot more than $500 for what some would consider small gains. It's the nature of the hobby (dare I say obsession). Chasing those s... | |
| Levinson 360 vs Benchmark IrvrobinsonI'm on your side with the mod's I would like to actually hear one as well. I find such claims interesting but then I've been surprised by weeks on occasion I'll admit.I truly liked the Benchmarks (a USB and a Pre) that I’ve owned and wi... | |
| Levinson 360 vs Benchmark Thedautch - ThanksI took a looks and it looks interesting. Generally I'm not too excited about mods' but this one may be worth investigating. | |
| Levinson 360 vs Benchmark Sorry to hear about your 37, I know that had to be very annoying. I had a 23.5 as well, and bought a 333 when they were released. I didn’t have the opportunity to compare tem side by side but I suspect overall the 23.5b may have been a better ampl... | |
| Levinson 360 vs Benchmark HorsefaceMany thanks-Your insights and experience is extremely helpful. I really like the prospect of a Levinson DAC but did have some of the concerns that you addressed in your post. I purchased a Levinson 380 pre because I used to own a 380s and... | |
| Levinson 360 vs Benchmark Thanks for all th input so far - please keep it comming :-)Thedautch -May I ask what mods were done by Parts Connexion? | |
| Levinson 360 vs Benchmark The 360s is likely out of my budget range, So I would likely need to stick with a 360. Much difference? | |
| 4.1 HT? I'm with you dbphd, I have Infinity Prelude MTS for my mail speakers placed 8-9ft apart and the center image is dead solid. Not exactly small and not exactly close together. I can see that if a person sat way off center than a center would help bu... | |
| 4.1 HT? I prefer no dedicated center myself - I've had a high quality matching center and just prefer the sound of the imaging without the dedicated center. My setup is such that no person sits very far off center so the center image is stable without the... | |
| Current Inexpensive sub that can get it done cheap Well engineered ported designs as good as sealed designs IMHO. Each has its tradeoffs - Sealed boxes have issues mores on an issue with standing internal standing waves being feedback to the speaker cones. Ported designs exhibit other possible (ar... | |
| Current Inexpensive sub that can get it done cheap Depending on your definition of cheap, check out partsexpress dot com and look at the Dayton sub kits. From my understanding the sound decent and can really pound it out for the low cost they are asking. | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I would go with the B&W matrix 800's as well, I sold a set and am really sorry. Some other fine ones are the EPS Montana line (from what I remember hearing) | |
| jumper for Aragon 8008 b Probably too late but I would get a XLR connector and solder the jumper onto that and plug in the connector to the amp. That way you don't have to worry too about using the incorrect wire size or damaging the amp connector accidentally with a burr... | |
| Re-Foam Kit for ML Monolith Available? Thanks again all, I knew I could count on the Audiogon group - everyone always comes through and is always so helpful. |
