| How much power is too much for a Quad 988? That is an Aragon 2004 I am referring to. | |
| How much power is too much for a Quad 988? If you want a great, inexpensive backup amplifier (or main amplifier even) for the Quad 988's, get one of these:http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstran&1294759993&/Aragon-2004-AmplifierI had 988's with this amplifier and was super ... | |
| Hooking a turntable to a laptop in order to record Lloyd. I think you are mistaken. Many computers havemic inputs and the do the AD conversion internally. I can't say how well. Better to use an external USB AD converter. | |
| Ayre V5xe vs. Modwright KWA 150 Yes, definitely the Modwright pre + power outperformed the MW pre and Aye amplifier. But if I were going with the Ayre amplifier, I would use a different pre than the MW. Had I not heard the MW+MW combination, I would have gone with the Ayre. As i... | |
| American Folk/Bluegrass music to die for I think Hot Rize "Untold Stories" is a great album. | |
| Ayre V5xe vs. Modwright KWA 150 I've had both in the same sytem, and was trying various preamps at the same time. My impressions were that the Ayre had a slightly more natural presentation and imaged a bit better, but was just slightly bass shy. I didn't mind this given the othe... | |
| The Hub: AudiogoN's RMAF coverage is Online That is really cool Arnie. You CAN hear alot about the resolution of various systems by listening. I wonder how much difference your position in the room makes, though. It would be cool to allow comments to be posted for each room. I was particula... | |
| Class D amps w/ digital inputs? Doesn't the new NAD integrated have a digital input? | |
| Good DIY suggestions? Good suggestons Sebrof. You could look into Bottlehead stuff too. Also, I have a set of DIY audio 300b monoblock kits that I've never put together (called Billie, I think) that I'd be willing to sell for a good price. I may get around to building ... | |
| has anyone used the new apple tv unit I don't really get it. You need to hook the ATV up to a computer. Most folks hook the ATV up to an external DAC for best quality sound. If you have an apple computer with optical out, why not just hook that up to a high quality external DAC? I gue... | |
| has anyone used the new apple tv unit Can someone explain how the ATV works? Do you attach it to a HD? Do you need a monitor for it? Thanks, Peter | |
| Integrated Amplifier for ERA D4/D5 Speakers Thanks JL35. I'm a little hesitant about a Class D amplifier (Onkyo) and have heard the Decco, and felt it to be underpowered.Anyone else have ideas? I like the Portal Panache, but it's on the upper end of my scale and doesn't come with a remote. ... | |
| 50' speaker or 50' interconnect? If you are running balanced interconnects, you need to make sure your equipment is also truly balanced to reap the benefits of balanced. An XLR jack does not mean truly balanced, necessarily | |
| Need Help Starting from Scratch I would go the opposite direction, and try to somehow borrow a better amplifier and hear what the system can do with it in the chain. If insignicant, great. If significant, try to find a really good deal on an amp to add to the system (cosmeticall... | |
| Need Help Starting from Scratch My exposures to Tylers have been very favorable. My exposure to the amplifier in the Decco (which is solid state, the preamp is tube) was just OK, nothing to really get excited about. If you're going to get a Decco, consider trying it with externa... |
