| Suggestions for replacement for my old Nuforce AVP-18 surround sound processor I own a Marantz 7702 and it sounds great. The only problem with it is that it does not pass HCDP 2.2. I had to use a dongle from Monoprice to provide me the capability to decode and stream the signal to my flat screen. I use a NuForce MCA30 to pow... | |
| Maggies for Home Theater/2 channel set up? I used to have a Magnepan IIIa home theater system. I had IIIas in the front and rear surround channels! Yes, it can be done very well. You just need a large enough room so that you can sit back enough to enjoy the imaging when in two channel. Wha... | |
| NuForce STA 200 You are going to like that Class D Audio amp. I own both a Class D Audio SDA-470 and a Nuforce MCA30. The Class D Audio amp sounds more life like than the Nuforce which is no slouch to begin. It is just the Class D Audio amp is a notch or two bett... | |
| Emotiva XPA5 Gen 1 Having owned an Emotiva XPA-5 and now a Class D Audio SDS-470, the 470 is far superior in air, detail, imaging and overall sound balance than the XPA-5. As another person said, it is a bit bright and probably is not a good match with your Klipsch.... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Uberwaltz, I would have to agree with you. I think we have the same Nuforce amp and I used to have the same Emotiva amps. The Nuforce sounds more like live music than the Emotiva amps ever did. The Nuforce even sounds more live than my Marsh A200 ... | |
| Noise from Xfinity cable box I had to put isolation feet under my Xfinity cable box to quiet the fan noise down. Doesn't eliminate it but does quiet it down quite a bit. Hope this tip helps you. | |
| Better 2-channel music Like you, I went from a Pioneer Elite AVR powered by separate amps and had OK 2-channel sound. When I replaced my Pioneer Elite AVR with a Marantz AV7702 home theater preamp, I was shocked at the difference. The sound was much more life-like with ... | |
| Experiences with miniDSP 2x4? Noise? I just found your question and just received my MiniDSP today. It was very easy to set up and use. I did not hear any noise at all. It produces sound even more real with better imaging than the ART CX311 active crossover that it replaced. I should... | |
| Amps bridged to mono with 4 Ohm Magnepans? I have a set of Magnepan IIIas and tried bridging my Carver amps with them. Though I liked the additional sound stage improvement, I didn't like the additional distortion I could hear. Instead, I went with an active crossover and currently use two... | |
| What amp to buy I own an XPA-5 and it replaced my Parasound HCA-1205A that I had for more than nine years. The Emotiva has a slightly more forward sound but much better bass than the Parasound. Top end is more neutral while the Parasound is slightly warm. Sound s... | |
| Emotiva amplifiers review/experience? I currently own an XPA-5 which replaced a Parasound HCA-1205A that I owned for more than nine years. The Emotiva has greater dynamics, more bass, is slightly more forward sounding than the Parasound. Overall, I was so impressed with the sound qual... | |
| Power Cord for $50 or less? Signal Cable is a good choice in your price range. | |
| Can it hurt a 5.1amp only using left & right chnls Agreed. No problem. Had several AVRs over the years and listened to them mostly on two channels. Never a problem. | |
| Velodyne DD10 vs DD12 Glad you are going with the DD12. When I was demoing at the time the previous generation subs, the HGS-10 and HGS-12, I ended up with the HGS-12. More output and still just as quick as the HGS-10. I would assume the same with the DD10,12 since the... | |
| Tube rolling in Yaqin Pacific Valve Tube Buffer As one of the original posters of the Yaqin tube buffer using the JAN Phillips green label 6922, I have found using the 6H23 with the "Rocket" logo best the JAN Phillips. Better detail, imaging and depth over the JAN Phillips. You can find this tu... |
