| How do I power my 800D(3)s @joey_v Thanks for your impressions of the Rotel RB1590/802D3. The RB1590 sounds like a very good amp.Your impressions of the Classe M600 is interesting as well. I've heard them on the 803D2 and 802D3. I really want to love Classe gear but can't w... | |
| How do I power my 800D(3)s @joey_v Since this could help the op and I'm very interested I'll ask; how did the 350 watts of the Rotel RB1590 fare with your 802 D3s? Thanks.Cheers,Scott | |
| Sony UHP-1 experience? kalali,The UHP-H1 has a feature Sony calls DSEE HX which Sony says "upscales" mp3s and CDs. I don't know if that's Sony's word for upsampling or not. I haven't engaged it. I'll try it in the next day or two and hear if it makes an appreciable diff... | |
| How do I power my 800D(3)s As others have noted the dealer you purchase the 800s from should help you find the appropriate amplification for the speakers and your room and offer in-home demos. I wouldn't buy a speaker in that class from a dealer that wouldn't accommodate yo... | |
| Sony UHP-1 experience? @jafant Ah, that's the one Sony announced back in September that looks like the UHP-H1 but will do 4K. I do hope they "hot rod" it more than just adding 4K. It would be great if they made the audio as outstanding as the video. The UHP-H1 video is ... | |
| Sony UHP-1 experience? Very cool; I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing, jafant. If it comes in at a reasonable pice I would be very interested. I would be very interested to see what the UHP-H1 could do with such things as a better power supply and sturdier chassis.Ch... | |
| Sony UHP-1 experience? @ptss I haven't done a focused comparison of the UHP-H1 and the REI DAC I'm using for the tv. I will say that I do prefer the sound watching movies with the Sony over streaming and the sound from the REI.The Sony has a bigger more dynamic sound. ... | |
| Sony UHP-1 experience? @ptss For years I've wanted to use my system for audio with our Panasonic plasma but it only outputs multi channel digital so I've never been able to use one of my DACs to get audio from the tv to my system.Well, got one of these; REI DA34X ($55),... | |
| Sony UHP-1 experience? I've had mine since it was released last May. We love it. It's the best picture we've seen on our Panasonic plasma. The music from CDs and SACDs sounds very good to me. I've never used CD players that cost more than $500 but I've had some very nic... | |
| Pass Labs INT 60 VS. Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP VS. Arcam A49 @almarg Thanks for correcting the link. For some reason I had a hard time posting it and did not know that it was not correct/working.Cheers,Scott | |
| Pass Labs INT 60 VS. Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP VS. Arcam A49 @charles1dad It was a long time ago when I was just getting into the audiophile hobby thing (actually, I didn’t even know I was getting into it, I was just looking for a great sounding system).I did just what I wouldn’t advise anyone to do. I boug... | |
| Pass Labs INT 60 VS. Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP VS. Arcam A49 As almarg mentioned, the high output impedance of some tube amps is what would concern me. One one of my biggest audio disappointments was getting a 60 watt tube integrated that I came to find out had on unusually high output impedance. My speaker... | |
| Pass Labs INT 60 VS. Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP VS. Arcam A49 http://http//www.stereophile.com/content/arcam-fmj-p49-power-amplifier#xOPVkVORGFOUHhdF.97 I agree with unsound, tls49 and almarg. You might want to check out this review of the Arcam P49, which is the power amp portion of your A49. JA compares it... | |
| Network Audio Player - need some basic advice Another great option you may want to look into is the Bluesound Node 2. It goes for $500, sounds great, the BluOS is outstanding, build quality is great and it looks good. I really enjoy mine and it's the main source in my system. You can pick it ... | |
| Heard the B&W N804d3s ... @rlb61 Positioning will have a big affect on the results you get from a speaker that size in a room that small. If you haven't, you might want to try a diagonal set-up with the speakers firing from one corner to the opposite corner.You have a grea... |
