Replacing Parasound p7, but with what?
213runnin,You have assembled a great system. Though I'm not familiar with your speakers I have spent quite a few hours listening to the Parasound combo you have. Anytime I've listened to them I've been very impressed with the treble. It has excell... 
looking for a good alround blue ray player..........
Sony’s universal 4K player will be out in the next couple of months. Should be around $400. I’ve been using the upscaling Sony UHP-H1 and the video is outstanding; the audio is very good too. I’m sure the 4K player will be fantastic as well.http:/... 
My Review: Rotel RA1570 vs Rotel RA1592 Integrated Amplifiers, side by side.
@joey_v I'm sure your right. The 1590 set really is great. With your write-up you have me intrigued by the 1592. I hope I can get a listen to it but it'll be hard. None of the dealers around here show any interest in bringing in the 1592. Oh well,... 
My Review: Rotel RA1570 vs Rotel RA1592 Integrated Amplifiers, side by side.
This is one of the best user reviews I’ve read, joey_v. Thanks for taking the time to do it; it is extremely helpful.Btw, you are correct about the slight hash/hardness you hear. I also heard it with the RC/RB1590 set. It seems to be a Rotel trait... 
Whats a good Integrated with a good phono section
Another excellent integrated with a phono section you might want to check out is the Arcam FMJ A19.http://http//www.arcam.co.uk/products,FMJ,Integrated-Amplifier,a19.htm Cheers,Scott 
ELAC B6 Best budget Amp match.
Hey, mountainsong,You didn't mention a budget and the NAD will probably do a fine job but if your looking for suggestions you might want to check out the Arcam FMJ A19. It is an outstanding integrated amp; great tone, transparent and even. It has ... 
Need recomendation for an IC to fill out and enrich the sound between amp and pre-amp.
I'd suggest WireWorld as well; the Eclipse 7 or the Equinox 7. I've been very satisfied with WireWorld cables. I used the Analog 2 cable from Signal for many years. It is a great cable but in my system it exhibited leanness like you describe.Cheer... 
Looking for advice on speaker cables for proac d38 and arc ref 150
narunner2,You have a great system. As has been said your MITs are some great cabling but if you find that you'd like to try something new I would recommend WireWorld Eclipse 7 or Equinox 7 interconnects and speaker cable. Cheers,Scott 
Entry Level Interconnect Reccomendations
I've used the WireWorld Equinox 7 for three years. I'm very pleased with them. They have great tone with a very balanced neutral and dynamic presentation.I do believe with their entry level and intermediate cables WireWorld is a good value. Great ... 
Bowers and Wilkerson B&W 802 D3: an impolite Brit?
jcoa,Would you mind going into a bit more detail about the sound of the Parasound A21 with your B&W 804Ns? I've pretty much decided on the A21 for my B&W 683 S2s but I have not been able to here the A21 with B&W speakers. Any insight w... 
Will audio streaming devices push out computer audio?
@2psyop If your having any trouble/frustration at all contact Bluesound support As tomcy6 and lowrider57 have suggested.They are fantastic; they respond quickly and will have you up and running in no time.I wanted a great sounding well thought out... 
How much power needed for B&W 683?
I have the 683 S2 and demoed them with an Anthem 225 and it was excellent.I also think the NAD C375BEE would sound very good too. I've used the NAD C320BEE on my 683s and sounded good up to about the low 80dbs in my large room.In my experience the... 
Heard the B&W N804d3s ...
@rlb61 Congratulations, enjoy, sounds like the Rhythmik is doing a great job.Cheers,Scott
