| Emotiva Preamp Any good? The Pioneer model is 8 or 9 years old and would be bested by any current mid level AVR. Any processor will kick it to the curb as well, including the XMC. As i mentioned earlier, the XMC is dated and missing features now common on AVRs. I got a De... | |
| ATI SIGNATURE SERIES 6005 OR CLASSE CT 5300?? Have you looked into Bryston or Cary Audio? | |
| lafayette 9090 or Sansui 4000 The sansui is warm and quite dynamic. I owned one for a year while experimenting with different sounds. It may need work down the road if it's original, so it depends on the price. | |
| Emotiva Preamp Any good? The XMC is over FOUR years late. They tried EmoQ and TacT before Dirac, if that says anything about the situation. They announced that Dirac was finally ready to ship shortly after Minidsp announced the release of a competing Dirac product. Becaus... | |
| D-Sonic amp vs Halo A31 Refurbs? Ive not seen refurbs very often. I'll second the motion that the A21 sounds quite musical, but i don't have any experience with class D. | |
| Thoughts on potential new system? Db, Parasound states that the A21's(as well as all of the Halo amps) circuitry was designed by John Curl. I've read on line that his involvement in the A23 was minimal. Apparently he's been with them for a good while and had a hand in the developm... | |
| Thoughts on potential new system? I"m not sure, Luvwine, if you've been able to come to a decision on the amp question, but from what I've heard, the Rotel might be on the bright side. I'd second the suggestion to look into Parasound Halo A51. 5 channels at 250 watts per.Parasound... | |
| Emotiva XPA-200 review Mitch, if you're going to push Emotiva, knock yourself out, but state ALL the facts to the people you are pushing Emotiva on. Otherwise you are misleading them. That means, tells them they have to pay to ship it back if unhappy. I can't make it an... | |
| Emotiva XPA-200 review Shipped to your door? Where else are they going to ship it to, EVERYONE ships to your door unless you ask for another option. Several companies will pay return shipping if you want to return it. Most of the 30 day trial companies also offer no res... | |
| Vintage Onkyo integrated amp ? I had an Onkyo integrated from the 80's, about the same wattage, nice but a little bright sounding to my ears. Built pretty well, the only way to know for sure is try it out and see how the Onkyo heats up. An older Harman Kardon, or some Adcom sep... | |
| Emotiva XPA-200 review The 30 day trial is nice, but nobody ever mentions that if you want to return it, you have to pay out of your own pocket for shipping. That's 50 bucks or more depending on where you live. | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? Here's a little bit of "Stuck" by Tonio KPapa was a farm boy, california borngrowing up in paradise until the second warwhen they put him in an airplane and loaded it with bombssent him over there, said "don't come back until they're gone"they dro... | |
| Parasound P-5 Halo In my opinion, the P5 phono section is good, but not that good. You would be hard pressed to find such a phono section in preamps of that price range. The NAD C165 might be better, but it has no integrated DAC. | |
| Emotiva XPA-200 review I'm not surprised, it's an amp built to a low budget price point. I checked the specs, it has a power supply of only 360 VA, and they expect to get 300 total watts out of it? Most of their line up is built with this philosophy. Better than the amp... | |
| Tinnitus Interesting thread. I've got a touch of something like tinnitus. Long hours staring at the computer monitor and or TV causes like a ringing in my ears, and not getting enough sleep also affects this. A couple of days away from viewing anything red... |
