| Difference between amps Thanks everyone for an excellent response and participation. This has so far been a very active thread with very meaningful feedback. I've learned a ton with many takeaways. Although I do have a 7.2 surround sound system for movies, etc, music ... | |
| Resale prices for Oppo Digital Universal Players Great feedback everyone. Thanks for your excellent insights and information. Very interesting and rather unprecedented. In all of my years in this great hobby of high end audio (40), I don't recall seeing source components sold at higher price... | |
| Budget Cables for Component Connection/Interconnects If you’re pleased with the AQ Evergreens for your CD player, keep those and focus on investing in higher end interconnectds for your preamp to amp connections. Synergistic Research is an excellent brand as stated by millercarbon and I agree don’t ... | |
| adding surround backs, quick question Many thanks !! | |
| Using an RCA cable splitter into subwoofer Perfect. That's what I needed to know. THANKS !! | |
| B&W ASW610 subwoofer burned out twice now Thanks folks. All excellent feedback in particular how class D amps just fail out of the blue. Makes sense. It was 5 years old. Actually I recalled my steps and it didn't occur when I pulled plug out of the wall. My error. I had removed the ... | |
| New comer looking for help to buy!! Yes I would definitely go with a 5.1 system since you have un-closeable openings out to other rooms. This I would say is your most significant challenge to reproducing great audio. You need to "fill" your room with sound. Your listening room sh... | |

I took these steps in our oversized family room with a large slideing glass door and two openings to hall ways and it made a huge differenc... | |

| Marantz AV7703 Processor dead Unit is in for repair. The owner of my high end A-V store explained that surges can enter a unit from many paths, not just the power cord. So in a T-Storm, even if you disconnect the power cord from your surge protector device, that's only one p... | |
| Marantz AV7703 Processor dead Thanks members. All good responses. The first response about taking a hit through the HDMI cable from the cable TV box makes sense since the power supply is still working properly. The unit should have built-in protection against that. It's th... | |
| Publish the age of your component when selling (let's discuss) Wow excellent discussion. Love it. Balanced and fair input and great suggestions. Elizabeth, thanks for the great Google suggestion. That is surely one way to find out. One comment: if you are the original owner, you would (or should) keep th... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report THANKS Ghosthouse for the excellent response. Yes so much depends on the age of the CD and the quality of its mastering. Appreciate it and happy new year !! | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Elton John "Honky Chateau" and Pieces of a Dream "Love's Silouette" both in multi-channel SACD DSD. There is no way under the sun vinyl LPs can sound this magnificent. No way. IMO the Compact Disc remains the greatest, most durable and affordabl... | |
| Dedicated Red Book CD player vs. "Universal" type players.... May I ask which McIntosh player you purchased? Did you purchase it brand new? |
