| What CD players have volume control I have owned several CD players with volume control. Currently I own the Quad 99 CDP and find it to be the best value of all that I have owned. It is about $850 used and it is a steal at that price. I've owned Theta Miles (balanced), Cary CD-308, ... | |
| Can these be used for both Plasma and 2-channel?? Markeetaux,It doesn't matter that your integrated amp does not have a remote. The TVs pre-outs are likey variable and controlled by the TVs remote volume control. You would simply set the integrated amp to a position like top dead center and use t... | |
| Hooking up sub Tom,If you run speaker wire from the receiver to the sub, then run speaker wire from the sub to the front L&R speakers, it won't upset the impedence seen by the receiver. If it is a surround receiver and you will be connecting a center channel... | |
| Hooking up sub Tom,What model is the receiver? If it is an HT receiver which supports mains, surround and center speakers, I'd be surprised that it doesn't have some type of sub output. Are you sure there is not an RCA out for "LFE" (low frequency effects), whic... | |
| Single-source amplifiers with volume control? Mjpflieger,If you know what you are doing, it should be very easy to bypass the selector switch and have a single input. You should be able to do this and not do any permenent damage to the integrated. You could easily solder the selector back int... | |
| What do you think of my 25 laws of audio John,I just saw "Real Ultimate Power" for the first time on Friday night. I about wet my pants! Haven't had a laugh like that in a long time. It doesn't even matter if it is real or a well conceived hoax, it is really funny either way.Enjoy,TIC | |
| IRD monoblocks or Acoustic Reality? I agree with Gmood1. The folks on the forums at AudioCircle have a lot of practical experience with the amps you mentioned. Also, they will have knowledge of the Channel Island D-100 amp that is considered to be a true high-end value in amplificat... | |
| Stuck: 20-bit/96kHz or 24-bit/96kHz DAC? Ears,Help us out! What are the other components that you will be using in your audio system? Will it be a 2-channel music system or a multi-channel combination music/Home Theater system?If you don't plan to use the player for DVD playback or multi... | |
| Stuck: 20-bit/96kHz or 24-bit/96kHz DAC? Ears,Yes, 24-bit/192kHZ is the current top of the bit/sampling rate heap. I think there are some higher sampling rates for a few esoteric units, but most high-upsamplers are 192kHz.For the Ah! 4000, I think the upgraded upsampler is a replacement ... | |
| Suggestions on a good shelf system? You might be shocked to hear how good the Sharp SD-EX111 all-in-one sounds. It is a CD player, tuner, pre-amp and 2-channel amplifier in one unit. The amplifiers are of the digital/switching type and sound very good.This unit was designed with an ... | |
| Stuck: 20-bit/96kHz or 24-bit/96kHz DAC? Ears,Personally, I don't think the computer analogy holds up in regards to a CD player choice. Computers become "less usable" over time because the software becomes more complex and requires more CPU performance, memory space and disk space to run... | |
| Who was this jazz singer? Wa it Norah Jones? I could easily imagine her "dressed like a hippie and barefooted". She also plays with a group of seasoned musicians.TIC | |
| "This Latest Digital Amp Is Great " Do you think the Sonic Impact is overpriced at $39 MSRP? It's certainly not "the last word" in digital amplification, but it is better than some 3X-4X times more expensive units and some folks actually think it is great in their systems.Now, when ... | |
| Advice requested: CDP/DAC or Amp? Hummm,You could get a Quad 99 CDP CD player w/volume control and a Quad 909 power amp. These are excellent pieces and can compete with units costing much more.You could buy the pair used for about $1700-1900.Read the excellent reviews and decide f... | |
