| Suggestions for new AV Pre-Pro Malon, I also believe in synergy among components and with cables but the problem is trial and error. It gets quite expensive buying and selling components and hoping it will sound best in your system. I happen to like the sound of the Sim I-7 and... | |
| Suggestions for new AV Pre-Pro Mike, sounds good to me | |
| Suggestions for new AV Pre-Pro Mike, even though you heard the Classe thru B&W speakers, how would consider the sound? The Sim has great bass, the mids and highs are smooth. There is a review on the CA5100 in HTM and it basically states the same qualities, but it's hard to ... | |
| Suggestions for new AV Pre-Pro I made an offer for the SSP-600 and it was accepted. I'm thinking of purchasing a 5 channel Classe amp to match and sell the Sim I-7 and the Outlaw 7500. The reviews for Classe amps were all good but I'm not so sure how they compare to the Sim amp... | |
| Suggestions for new AV Pre-Pro Mike, I'm leaning towards the Classe and probably make a decision shortly. As I mentioned, I plan to use the Classe dacs for the SB Touch so I just listed the W4S DAC 1 for sale and I'll use the funds towards the pre-pro. I also plan to sell the O... | |
| Suggestions for new AV Pre-Pro I was researching other pre-pros and I came across the Classe SSP-600. The reviews were excellent and I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this model. | |
| Suggestions for new AV Pre-Pro Mike, good to here from you again. I appreciate your suggestion, but since I purchased the Sim I-7 for 2 channel, I've become a little spoiled with the sound quality of the Sim thru the Focal speakers. What I was hoping for was a pre-pro that come... | |
| Suggestions for new AV Pre-Pro Sparks, I plan on doing further research on the Cary plus these other brands you mentioned. Unfortunately as Kr4 stated, it's nearly impossible to perform an A/B comparison these days. The best advise is usually from forums like this. If these pre... | |
| Suggestions for new AV Pre-Pro Sparks81,I appreciate your reply. I was also told by a dealer that going with a Marantz is a step backward. I'm wondering if I buy a pre-pro like the Cary, would it pay to replace both the Sim I-7 and the Outlaw amp with a 5 channel Cary amp or si... | |
| Suggestions for new AV Pre-Pro Since you guys have either recommened the Marantz or the Cary, has anyone actually compared the two units? | |
| disc player/transport longevity I still use my Sony ES cd player from 1986 in a secondary room. It's built like a tank and has never skipped once. It may have the sound quality as today's players, but it's good enough for casual playing. | |
| Suggestions for new AV Pre-Pro Kr4, You stated both the 11a and 12 are not as capable in HT with regards to room eq. I'm not so concerned with room eq as with total sound quality especially in 5.1. As I stated, I'm using the Sim I-7 for 2 channel and driving the fronts in 5.1. ... | |
| Suggestions for new AV Pre-Pro Sparks81, I was waiting for someone to recommend a pre/pro that's more in line with my speakers. As I stated, I was hoping to obtain the sound quality I get with the Sim I-7 in 2 channel. The Sim will still power the front speakers in 5.1 but cont... | |
| Suggestions for new AV Pre-Pro KR4, Out of the 3 suggested, which would you say sounds the best.Raks, Theta makes great products but it's over my budget. | |
| Squeezebox touch sounds better than benchmark dac1 Thuhaile- I had the benchmark previously and thought it was a bit bright sounding for my tastes too. The dac in the touch is not bad sounding but I recently purchased the w4s dac 1 and it sounds much fuller and detailed compared to the dac in the ... |
