| ATI SIGNATURE SERIES 6005 OR CLASSE CT 5300?? Your new amp is the same as the Lexicon ZX-7. I'm not sure which sold more, but they are out there.Please let us know your thoughts. | |
| How good are recievers these days? Or you could buy a $55000 amp that can't even put 1/3 of its RATED power for an hour. Stereophile link Or krell amps that catch fire krell fireSometimes products have design flaws. It is how the manufacturer owns up to those issues that is impor... | |
| Does an isolation transformer improve a power cable? I am getting at is that, if this is a truly isolating transformer, then there is nothing upstream of it--forget about the house and all the big appliances.No.... If you have a drag on your power system, like a big appliance you will have the same ... | |
| Dan D'agostino Momentum Integrated amp Please let me respond to David99's query as to whether a $54k product is 54x better than a $1000 product. The Mona Lisa would probably never leave the Louvre, but would you prefer to see it hang on your wall or perhaps thousands of inkjet prints o... | |
| Emotiva XMC-1 owners.... Vernneal,Have you listened to any of their new products? Or that last mid-fi product you listened to was in 1985 so therefore they are all bad? The quality of mid-fi today will easily top any hi-fi from the early 80's. Easily... You are welcome to... | |
| ATI SIGNATURE SERIES 6005 OR CLASSE CT 5300?? I agree with what Clpetersen. ATI makes some of the best SS amps out there. The slew rate is fast/ sq wave input is nearly perfect. It is an incredibly fast amp. I don't think ATI makes most of their money from selling ATI amps, but instead is a s... | |
| Would vinyl even be invented today? So Jack White's Lazaretto set the record for sales of vinyl for 1 week at 40,000. Biggest one week sales of a LP ever. I wonder what the demographics on that album looked like?If it is anything like the people that go to Jack White concerts, it is... | |
| How good are recievers these days? I don't get all the hate for class-d amps. I wonder if there were such feelings when SS first came out.If you only want a dedicated 2 channel system, get the Classe. However, if you want a multichannel system with decoding of the digital audio for... | |
| Emotiva XMC-1 owners.... It is a class D amp. It just isn't converting the analog to digital before the switching controller. It then converts the PWM signal to analog. They are just calling it something else, but I assure you it is the same technology as a class-D amp.I ... | |
| Buying new vinyl? I agree. It all comes down the the mastering. I don't think the analog vs digital debate is honestly that important. You like vinyl, listen to vinyl, you like CDs, enjoy. But a poorly mastered recording is not going to be good.As you stated there ... | |
| Newbie question regarding DAC... I'm a little confused to. The Yamaha does have a 5.1 channel input on the back of it so you could run the analog cables to that. I would go back and forth between the digital input you are using and the analog to decide which you prefer. The Yammy... | |
| Enhancing online radio station sound options My opinion is that it doesn't matter what you are using to listen to online radio it is not going to sound hi-fi. The reason being is that most radio stations only broadcast at 128Kbs mp3. A little better than a really strong FM signal but no wher... | |
| Would vinyl even be invented today? Pkoegz,For your pleasure. http://www.wikihow.com/Be-a-HipsterThese are the people solely responsible for the resurgance in vinyl. If it weren't the vinyl sales would still be what they were 10 or 15 years ago. Existing yes, but no way would there ... | |
| Buying new vinyl? Johnnyb53,Why so personal? Do you have an issue with opinions or facts, or maybe both?How about a test? Come over with your favorite LP. We'll record at a low 44.1 16bit PCM rate then play it back. We can compare the recorded LP to the digital ver... | |
| Emotiva XMC-1 owners.... Bacardi,Congrats. It looks like an interesting concept, a bit of all in box like an integrated amp. What I don't get is this from their web-site.We remove the DAC, Preamp, and separate amplifier from the signal path. This not only removes hundreds... |
