| What's your latest "Discovery" I've been playing Jimmy Smith's "Dot.Com Blues" a lot lately. Man, that Hammond B3 Organ just fills up the room with sound!!! Also, great guest artist on this one, including Etta James, Dr. John, Keb' Mo, Taj Mahal and BB King. This is a great Jaz... | |
| Sony 9000ES vs. Sony 999ES vs. Denon DVD-2900.... I have owned the Denon 2800 mkI and the Sony DVP-S9000ES. If your goal is to have a universal player for high def. digital audio AND redbook CD playback, you may want to look elsewhere IMHO. Of course, it depends on you system and how "resolving" ... | |
| Review: Arcam Alpha 9 int Amplifier I owned an Alpha 9 for a while. Nice piece, especially for $500 from a dealer!You can use Nordost Z-plug bananas on the Arcams because the Z-plug is hollow and fits nicely over the center protrusion. The z-plugs are available from any Nordost deal... | |
| Norh SE9 or Jolida tube intergrated..... FYI, The SE9 is NOT a SET amp. I believe it is a single ended amp running in Pentode mode (SEP). This had been discussed at length on the HarmonicDiscord Site.Enjoy,TIC | |
| Would this be an upgrade? Jim,I have owned the balanced version of the Theta Miles and the Sony DVP-S9000ES. I agree that the Theta was far superior to the Sony for redbook playback. I also used the Sony with a very good DAC and Digital cable (Birdland Odeon Lite, Nordost ... | |
| A new ploy for fraud? I have read thes EXACT scam posted by someone else on another forum.I'm fairly sure that this is a scam and you will be left holding the bag! For a $90 sale, I'd look elsewhere.TIC | |
| cdp to amp I have owned a Theta Miles (balanced version) and a Cary CD-308 and run/ran both directly to my amps. For me, it is a benefit. You save a ton-o-cash by not needing a pre-amp or extra interconnect cables. I don't notice any lack of dynamics IMS. I ... | |
| HSU vs. ADIRE vs.Pinnacle SUBS I have owned the Baby Boomer and the VT-2. I sold the VT-2 and kept the BabyBoomer. I liked the HSU, but the size and esthetic qualities of the Pinnacle were FAR superior to the HSU and the Pinnacle gave up very little in the performance departmen... | |
| Any AudiogoNers Winston Cup fans? Oh yeah, big fan here! I'm kinda into anything with big-n-stupid tires!!I go to 2-3 auto races a year.Sometimes NASCAR, sometimes sprint cars (wings are for wimps), sometimes Formula 1, sometimes AMA motorcycles.Unlike the previous posters, I like... | |
| Scott/Dynaco TUbe Amps...... I currently own several tube amps and if I were in the market for an inexpensive tube amp, I would buy an Anthem Integrated 1. It is a 25 watt/ch. tube integrated amps using EL-84 output tubes. It has a tube based pre-amp section also.I recently b... | |
| How to combine 2ch int amp with HT Konstantin,Correct, if you use an Integrated amp with no HT bypass/Processor loop, you will need to set the volume of the integrated to the "calibrated" level each time you want to use HT. Not as bad as it sounds. Simply set the volume to a pre-de... | |
| How to combine 2ch int amp with HT Duddley is correct, and I have run several different integrated/HT combo systems over the years. Here are some other nice integrated amps that have HT bypass/Processor loop. BTW, I've owned all of them!Arcam Alpha 10Anthem Integrated 1Anthem Integ... | |
| Pathos Classic One, new version, any good? Paul,I have a friend that owns the original (Avalon style) Sonatas and powers the with a Moth 45 tube amp at less than 2 watts channel. He has a fairly large room too! I'm sure the Pathos would power the Sonatas just fine. The Thiels may be a diff... | |
| 24/96 DAC + DVD Player - Help As usual, Sugarbrie is correct! Your transport/player needs to have an "upsampler" to output anything above 44.1K when playing a standard (redbook) CD.Interestingly, my Cary CD-308 is an "upsampling" player and outputs a 24/96 signal at the digita... | |
| Setting my subwoofer cutoff frequency Most HT receivers have bass management of some kind. For most low/mid-fi receivers that I've played with, the cutoff frequency was fixed by the receiver at 80 or 100hz. If you have your receiver setup set to SUB=yes/on, it is likely that the recei... |
