| Going HD - Should I dump DirectTV? The above varying responses must reflect geographic differences. I live in the DC metro area and I have Directv with HDTIVO. My parents have Comcast cable with their HD PVR device. The difference between the two for picture quality, ease of use, e... | |
| Looking for views on bi-amping If you passively bi-amp, you have the problem of differences in gain between the two amps. I have a 2 way external crossover (actually it is a combined crossover/phonostage) which allows to equalize the gain between the two amps. thus I have been ... | |
| Elrod Statement & Signature Conditionner? My front end pieces (EMM lab dcc2/cdsd, custom tube crossover) all have Elrod Statement 2s going to a Hydra 8 which has a Statement 1 to a dedicated circuit. IMS, I find that the Elrod signatures (the Statements even more so) give a refineness and... | |
| Looking for views on bi-amping I have recently actively bi-amped my 2 ch system (with a custom-made tube crossover). The improvement in dynamics, clarity, frequency extensions is remarkable. I had earlier tried passive bi-amping and did not notice much difference. It has been a... | |

| Single ended Power amp recommendation I also have and love the SAP J2000 twins. I have used the Cary 300SEI, Cary 805s, Tenor 75i,custom made 45 push pull amps, and currently a custom 2A3 SET monoblocks with the Audio note Kageki tansformers. Like Larry has stated and IME, the speaker... | |
| Which Cord OVER Python For Original Hydra ? I use both the original Hydra and Hydra-8, and I really preferred the Elrod pcs (either Signature-3 or Statement) versus the Python. | |
| Supratek vs Switchman for EMM Labs DAC I have not heard the Supratek, but I have compared the DCC2 preamp initially versus the Audio Note tube M-8 and more recently M-10 preamps. In both cases, and IMS, I much preferred the tubed preamps to the DCC2 preamp, although all were excellent.... | |
| Add a subwoofer or not for two channel only? I too have a small room with speakers that go down to 35hz. I recently added a Rel Storm sub (the dealer told me that the Storm has a richer bass while the Strata is more taut.) In any case, I was pleased with the significant improvement in not on... |
