| Audio Art spk cable to Signal Cable. Up to down? I've had and still have Straight Wire products and they've all been excellent. Admittedly I have more AQ cables in my system but I just upgraded my 5 amp-preamp ICs from the Encore IIs to the Rhapsody ICs and am enjoying a vast improvement in soun... | |
| How many of your play instruments? As a hobby and jamming with friends at times, I play two different 5 string electric bass guitars mostly classic rock, blues, gospel and soul. I also finally got up enough nerve to perform at an open mic jam session at a blues club in North Caroli... | |
| Help with processor decision Bebopmecha5: You're quite welcome and glad to be of assistance. Your first post was a good one and well stated. Yes I agree with Dbphd that the Radio Shack Sound Level Meter is more than adequate & very affordable. Let us know how you like the... | |
| Audioquest Water Do you know what has replaced the King Cobra and Diamondback interconnects? | |
| Help with processor decision My vote goes to the Marantz 8801 since it seems to have all of the most current surround sound music formats and it's their top of the line processor. Having said that, just last year I went with my very first surround sound processor and due to m... | |
| SACD Recommendations For multi-channel aka surround sound SACDs (which to me sound light years ahead of two channel SACDs), without question number one is Elton John's "Honky Chateau". Also "Toto IV", Bob Dylan "Blood on the Tracks", Allman Bros "Live at the Fillmore ... | |
| Subwoofer Placement Of the two, I'd go with option 1. I wouldn't place sub-woofers behind your L&R main speakers especially with only 10" of space. This could impede the LFE's eminating from the two subs. Placing one sub 4' out in front of one the two main speake... | |
| Which CD player? Margot, while I'm not personally familiar with Rogue amps, I am up on SACD players and hopefully can make some useful recommendations. Your Rogue Sphinx amp is an excellent piece of equipment and has won awards too. Since this is a two channel amp... | |
| Two subwoofers Thanks all. Wow 5 subs in a single HT system. Whoa and I thought two was more than most. Yes that can be quite tricky. Bob what I meant by out of synch is that perhaps the two different subs were not in exact phase. Perhaps the drivers could be ou... | |
| Of all your gear, what piece impresses you most? My B&W 683 3-way loudspeakers !! | |
| Need to upgrade but what to get need advice As I've stated before, I love Marantz products but their published watts/channel data in AVRs can be misleading. If you read the specs closely, they'll state the watts/channel/8ohms but "two channels driven". You can figure that in reality, 70% of... | |
| Subwoofer to match my B&W 601s2,CC6s2 and DM600i Flatsmaster, you may have already made your purchase. I haven't been on Audiogon for a while. Since your loudspeakers are B&W, then keep it simple and don't get overwhelmed with the plethora of subwoofers on the market. Stick with B&W. Tha... | |
| Audiophile Grade Multi channel Power Amplifier I just invested in a brand new Rotel RMB-1555 multi-channel amp (5 channels), 120 watts/ch into 8 ohms all channels driven. This is a conservative rating. It's breaking in beautifully and I am extremely pleased with its natural warm and smooth sou... | |
| SACD Multi-Channel down-mixing? Thanks. I since found out that there is a setting in the set up menu of the Marantz UD5005 for down-sampling so it can be activated or turned off. This player outputs DSD through its HDMI circuit and does not down-mix it. | |
