| Yet another SACD question My apologies if I may be simplifying the issue, but here goes ... I have a 2 channel set-up (Musical Fidelty A3 integrated amplifier) with a SONY SCD555ES SACD changer. I just put in the SACD and just press play. The SONY defaults to the SACD laye... | |
| Is 3 CH with a HT pre/pro better than 2 Channel Yyz:Quite frankly, put off buying any HT equipment until you move. In the interim, if your DVD player offers virtual 3D surround options (like my SONY 506) experiment with those settings for "center channel like" sound. I have a similar sized room... | |

| Options for Integrated amp? cfmartin:It can cut two ways ... a top flight amp can bring out the best in a speaker and a top flight speaker can make a passable amp seem better than it is. My experiences with the B&W 300 & 600 series speakers are that they emphasized t... | |
| Options for Integrated amp? Is the Rotel lacking in some area that you are looking to improve? The Rotel is actually a good choice with B&W speakers, in general (check out the Rotel reviews in any of the British Magazines, like What Hi-Fi) and the Arcam CD72 is a nice un... | |

| First System Amp . . . My ADCOM 545 from 1989 was decommissioned this past December. I had it paired with an ADCOM 500 II preamp/tuner; SONY SCD 555ES SACD changer; and Acoustic Research 302 Classic Series speakers and was very pleased with the set-up. I replaced it wit... | |
| Marantz 2275/2270 vintage receivers The prices that the Marantz 22XX series of receivers from the 1970's command on auction sites like eBay have risen fairly dramatically in the last two years (up anywhere from 30 - 100%). The Marantz 22xx series have a fairly devoted following, com... | |
| what's my problem? Hi Loose:Give your Unico time to break in, before you do too much more. I had a similar experience, when I replaced my ADCOM 545 with a Musical Fidelity A3 integrated amplifier. It took about 2 months for the break-in to run its course and then, I... | |
| used sony or modified music hall On one hand, if the modified Music Hall sounds fantastic and your only concern (theoretical) is build quality ... I would say don't change a thing. I use my Music Hall with a vintage Marantz 2216B receiver and Acoustic Research 15 speakers (placed... | |
| used sony or modified music hall I actually own both a SONY SCD C555ES SACD changer (in my main system) and a Music Hall CD25 (unmodified; bedroom system). They both have very good build quality (although the SONY is positively tank-like) ... both are very good at redbook CD play... | |

| Should I buy a Denon 2802 or Harmon Kardon 225? Abex. Just curious ... what speakers were you using with the HK, that produced such a dark sound? I was using the Denon with both EPOS 11 and later with Acoustic Research 302 Classic series and the sound (for music) was annoyingly lightweight and ... |
