| HT peakers for Marantz SR5200 The R3A DeCapo is a really nice speaker. It is not the last word in resolution, but that makes it a better "real world" speaker IMHO. It has excellent bass extension and control for a monitor. I also like the fact that it works well with almost an... | |
| Which is better, Jolida or Cayin? I have owned both a stock and fully modified 2b (Bizzy Bee) modified Cayin TA-30. They sound great and have excellent build quality. Paul (Bizzy Bee) is excellent!BTW, TAS (The Absolute Sound Magazine) had nothing but praise for the TAD Cayin TA-3... | |
| HT peakers for Marantz SR5200 Hey Art,It's TIC (Tom In Cincinnati) on most forums, but someone else has that username here. It's just habit for me to sign off as TIC.I originally thought you were a noob, but I checked your other post for "reference". I can see you are in a sim... | |
| HT peakers for Marantz SR5200 Art,Do you plan to mount the speakers on the walls, on stands or use floorstanding speakers? Actually, you could also use a combination of the above.Next, what is your budget? You can buy all of the speakers now, or you could start with a pair of ... | |
| Using Mark Levinson No.39 as a preamp The ML player contains a 2-channel DAC (digital to analog converter) which decodes PCM (pulse code modulation) signals. Most DVD-Players and cable/satellite Set-top boxes output multi-channel, Dolby Digital signals. Generally, you can go into a DV... | |
| The Best Live album Treyhoss,I totally disagree about "Rush in Rio". I do like the song selection, but I think sonically it sounds like one big, continuous crowd roar. Personally, I wish they had mik'd it differently and gotten more of Rush and less of the crowd.I'm ... | |
| The best var. out CD player for under 1500 used? Coffeey,Arcam cd92 does not have variable volume control to the best of my knowledge.TIC | |
| How to add to my 2-chanl int. amp for home theater Nick,Yes, the processor loop is probably a better solution. If it is a modern integrated amp, the processor loop/HT bypass is designed especially to support this type of setup.Simply run the R&L pre-outs from the receiver to the processor loop... | |
| How to add to my 2-chanl int. amp for home theater I just want to reiterate what I said earlier and what everyone else is telling you. Based on our knowledge AND personal experience (many times over) You DO want to run the L&R front pre-outs from the receiver to an unused line-level input on t... | |
| So YOU can't hear a difference in cables My apologies to Zilla and all. He did not ask for an opinion of his digital setup, however, that's where I think he may be getting the digital glare that he is trying to fix with cables (but what do I know).Anyway, sorry I got so spun up. When I s... | |
| So YOU can't hear a difference in cables Zilla,Oh, I didn't realize that you were so well informed. Yes, Stereophile and Monster Cable are two of the "Experts" in the Audiophile world. You obviously have done your homework!Please accept my apologies. None of my current equipment is on th... | |
| So YOU can't hear a difference in cables Zilla,I'm not trying to fan the flames here, but is it possible that your cheap, mass market Sony is introducing the digital glare that you hear?You have a very expensive amp and speakers, but you're using a mid-fi digital front end.I would bet th... | |
| Fidelity Tim,If you just know that "you like it or you don't", stop trying to analyze it and just enjoy.Trying to "figure out what to listen for and determine if it is good" will make you neurotic! Just ask any audiophile! Why do you think there is so much... | |
| How to add to my 2-chanl int. amp for home theater Elevick is correct! Adding a good receiver that has pre-amp outs is the most cost effective and easiest way to do this. He is also correct that you actually DO want to use the pre-amp in the receiver, not the integrated amp, when using HT. This wi... | |
| cdp comparision shopping I second the recommendation of the Quad 99cd-p. I currently own this player and it is excellent for the price (I paid $800 used) an can be bought new for under $1500.I previously owned the Theta Miles Balanced and it was a nice player. I haven't c... |
