| Has anyone owned both P500 & hydra 8 / guardian I have used several power conditioners over the last 8-10 years, including the ones you mentioned (they are excellent.) For me, the most recent game changer is the Acoustic Revive RTP-2, -4, or-6. They are expensive, but it is surprising how much ... | |
| Confused... Projector or Plasma??????? I have both a dedicated theater room with the JVC RS-1 1080p projector and a family room with the Pioneer Kuro 150FD (1080p plasma.) The primary seating area in the family room is 15' away from the plasma and I daily regret not having a larger scr... | |
| Dedicated Home Theater/Listening Room Suggestions I just moved into a new house with a separate thater room and 2ch music room. I ran a total of 15 dedicated circuits between the rooms, back to separate panels (Equitech for my priority ten) and an isolated ground. I use varying Oyaide outlets for... | |
| opinions on the Equi=Tech Wall Cabinet? I have the very same panel you are interested in. The company has excellent customer service, and the panel made a significant upgrade in my system. Five of the dedicated outlets from this panel go to my music room and the other five go to my thea... | |
| Bryston SP2 vs Meridian 861 I have the 861 in my home theater and the AudioNote M10 (tube preamp) and EMMlabe DCC2 (DAC and SS preamp) in my 2ch system. I am consistently amazed at the excellent musicality of the Meridian (I use a Denon 5901ci for digital source in the HT ) ... | |
| Shunyata Anaconda Alpha or Elrod Statement? Muratc,I also love the Elrod Statements sound, but was frustrated with their unwieldy nature and bulk ( I currently also have a small room.) So recently I went on a quest to find a pc at least equal the sonics of the Statement, without the Stateme... | |
| creating a music database I use a program, Readerware which allows one to use the unique barcodes on CDs (DVDs and books also) to catalog them in your computer. I use a wireless barcode reader (one of several recommended by Readerware) to upload the CD album titles (the pr... | |
| EMM Labs AS Optimism emm. I also purchased the Optimism emm cables. There was an instruction sheet that came with the cables which outlined how to connect the cables. However, I also had a hard time making the proper connections, and initially they did not work. I thought ... | |
| hide equipment For my HT system, my Marantz remote uses radiofrequency (RF) to control the electronics. Thus they are all in a closed-door cabinet, separate and adjacent to the viewing and listening area. I like this arrangement of having the gear (except for th... | |
| Fun trying new power conditioners-long Babybear,When I combined the Sound Apllication with the Hydra, the anaolg with the SA and digital with the Hydra sounded best. It did not seem to matter with the Power Wing/Walker combo which had the digital or analog. Of note, I have not yet expe... | |
| Fun trying new power conditioners-long I one I am trying is the updated Power Wing with the Oyaide outlets and it is superb. It has the three different outlets. I have not heard the original version. I found the neither Power Wing nor the other plcs, IMS, sound better alone than in com... | |
| Bi-Amping I echo the advice about an active crossover. The difference between passive biamping, which you are doing, and active biamping is large.Good luck | |
| indra users/fans--- Although I think the DCC2 is an excellent preamp, I do not get the air, staging or dynamics of my tube preamp (Audionote M-10.) I used the DCC2 as a preamp for about six months while I was waiting for an upgrade to my preamp and I enjoyed it very ... | |
| 2-way Bi-amp: Outboard Xover or EVS attenuators?? Using an attenuator solely would be passively biamping and yes would allow you to adjust the gain between two dissimilar amps. However, IME/IMS active biamping with an external crossover is so much better sounding than passively biamping. I say th... | |
| What Amp for B&W N802 In my HT system, I use a Mcintosh 602 stereo(600 watts/ch) for my N802 mains and a MC 501 (500 watts) for the HTM1 center. I really enjoy the sound and have not seen the need to upgrade this setup thus far. |
