| Integra receiver -- white noise I have a DTR6.5 -- doesn't seem like there any firmware updates available. | |
| Integra receiver -- white noise Thanks. I'll check.But would needing new firmware result in sudden white noise issues? Perhaps some SW suddenly went bad? | |
| Complete newbie needing guidance/purchase advice Hi RM9,I'm probably more of a newbie than you. I have a very low-end system:1) Pre-amp: Anthem AVM2 (although I've been using a Nakamichi AV8 as the pre-amp / processor and I'm actually quite pleased with it. Surprisingly, despite the MSRP price d... | |
| Newbie -- expert thoughts on PA2400 vs GFA5400? Hi folks,Thanks for the great advice. This helps a lot and is probably saving me much needed funds. Thanks for helping me not waste funds for what likely would have been a lateral purchase at best.It's small room so perhaps what I have now is suff... | |
| Newbie -- expert thoughts on PA2400 vs GFA5400? Thanks for the response. There is a HK Signature 2.1 available for $299. But I think the general consensus seems to be towards taking the next step up -- save up for a better amp, not just one with more power. So, I'll have to wait another year (o... | |
| Newbie -- expert thoughts on PA2400 vs GFA5400? Hi Daniel,So, which train of thought is correct? :) Where would my GFA5400 fit in? :)Thanks for suggestion. I'd love to be able to get the GFA5500. It's quite a bit outside my budget this year, but maybe that's something I could consider next Chri... | |
| Likely culprit for harshness at higher volumes? Thanks -- yes, I'm finding that small changes in speaker placement can dramatically change the experience. I'm overwhelmed by the number of degrees of freedom here: x,y,z,separation, toe-in, etc.Seems like there should be a computer model that inc... | |
| Likely culprit for harshness at higher volumes? Hi there,Sorry, I missed that. I'm in northern CA in the outskirts of the Bay Area. It's relatively inconvenient except for the neighboring cows. :) Folks have been more than kind offering suggestions here on the forum, especially given my very mo... | |
| CD Sound Quality -- please help educate me "It's hard to say which brand & model will make that impact on you - you'll have to try many of them before you declare success for yourself. ANd, these units are not always cheap."Given my constraints, perhaps ignorance is bliss in this case ... | |
| CD Sound Quality -- please help educate me @bombaywalla -- much thanks for the synopsis. I'll need to read it more closely. But the quick gist I'm taking away is that the number of bits relates to a refinement of the original sound through noise (hopefully noise only, not actual sound - I ... | |
| CD Sound Quality -- please help educate me Thanks -- interesting idea. Sounds reasonable although I know nothing about DACs.But.... taking a quick peek at the classified. Wow -- I think we're talking about different price leagues here. I'd really need to read why, for example, a $350 Cambr... | |
| Likely culprit for harshness at higher volumes? Hi folks,I tried hooking up on iPod Touch -- it sounded terrible pretty quickly. Both my pre-amp and CD player have headphone outputs. I'm going to order the headphones recommended by almarg -- I wanted some headphones for watching videos on my iP... | |
| CD Sound Quality -- please help educate me LoL, me, an audiophile? Well, I do enjoy listening to music but I'd hardly consider myself an audiophile (yet) in the ranks of folks on this forum any more than playing Need for Speed makes me a race car driver. :) I just know a few buzzwords. So,... | |
| Likely culprit for harshness at higher volumes? Left: 7.2mV; Right 13.2mV. Same reading with volume at -95db (minimum) and 0db (wasn't sure what you meant by 'volume at 0'). So, I'm assuming that the DC offset on my amp is acceptable, even though left and right are a little different?I don't re... | |
| CD Sound Quality -- please help educate me Continuing from initial post.....I'm not going to guess what DAC is in my Sony but I'm pretty sure it's not 24bit/192KHz that seems ubiquitous in more current players.I understand conceptually what 24bit would offer -- many more levels of sound in... |
