| How would the Merlin VSM's sound for HomeTheater? dynaudio are OK, but if sensitivity is what i think it is (miserable), you better have a beast of an amp.ever thought about silverline? reimer? | |
| How would the Merlin VSM's sound for HomeTheater? sogood51 is right in this regard. if you want the explosions etc that are traditionally assoc w/ HT, you need a sub. the merlins are great speakers, and i'm known for expousing on their virtues, but having the house shake isn't one of them....whic... | |
| How would the Merlin VSM's sound for HomeTheater? itd be like using a ferrari for a taxi. | |
| Best high current SS Mono amps have to second that from Fcrowder. his JC1s are quite special driving the acapella campaniles. hard to find fault with them, and at their price point, unbeatable IMHO.rhyno | |

| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase actually, i've been married only 1 yr and haven't had to lie about it once.sure, explaining a $1k power conditioner took some work and creative financing on my part (i.e. selling other audio equip), but even that went over w/o a shrug.find a wife ... | |
| Entec L-F20 Who knows the wiring? if i remember correctly, the set of wires from the amp goes to the top driver (w/ the servo), and then a set of jumpers goes off that driver to the lower driver.i recall hearing that the amp is a class D switching job, so it should be able to hand... | |

| grateful dead remasters kevinsget a great 16/44 dac. don't worry bout SACD or hirez, as most of your dead will always be 16/44 (bootleg CDs). also, get a transport w/ 2 digital outs and a standalone burner (as opposed to a PC based cd burner). i've burned a few thousand ... | |
| Best used dac under $2000 4 power supplies w/ proper shielding...that's a large part of it. digital (as well noted by bob crump) has the effect of self-polluting AC / DC. noise from the clock & the DACs has the very real effect of compromising sound elsewhere by noise ... | |
| Best used dac under $2000 you don't want circuitry that does jitter reduction. you want a transport that doesn't put out jitter. fix your problems at the source!a great truism in audio is simplicity is good. simple = soundlabs (no x-overs), OTLs, and by all means, nothing ... | |
| Best used dac under $2000 i never said FR wine tasted better, did i? reread my post and maybe you'll understand.but i will say the entec dac is better. by a long margin. they made 50 of them total, at a price @ $7k new. i saw one a few weeks back for $800. if i didn't alre... | |
