| What 5ch or 3/2 to match Aragon 8008bb? Kincade,I wish I had seen this post sooner. I have an 8008BB running my mains with an 8008x5 for the rest of the system. All channels match perfectly - assuming well matched speakers.I also have an Acurus A200x3 that I used to use for the center a... | |
| 5 Channel Amp for under $2k? The Aragon 8008x5 would be a good match for the Soundstage, but so would many of the other amps mentioned already. | |
| NAD T973 Power Amp - Power Rating 7x145w or 2x200w Eandylee - I agree with Aroc. Don't be so quick to judge an amp based strictly on power ratings - there is much more to an amp than power. Though the NAD power supply is capable of more continuous power the Anthem amp still has plenty, as well as ... | |
| NAD T973 Power Amp - Power Rating 7x145w or 2x200w Eandylee,I can't say that I have specifically seen specs mentioned "exactly" like this. However, I went deeper into the NAD website to understamd how the amplifier was designed so I could gain insight into what the specs meant. Please note that al... | |

| Broke and still not happy Gellis1,I cannot speak to the power conditioners that you have because I have not personally tried them. However, based upon what I read I was not overly impressed with them. What I can atest to is what I have experienced in my own system. After r... | |
| Broke and still not happy I did not see any mention of power conditioning. Until you clean that up you cannot accurately assess the other elements of the system. The harshness you mention could very well be from dirty power - I doubt that it is coming from the excellent eq... | |
| NAD T973 Power Amp - Power Rating 7x145w or 2x200w Yes, this looks to be exactly what it says. Since this amp uses a power supply that is common to all channels, it has more power available to route to the active channels if not all channels are being used. Many other multi-channel amps use this d... | |
| Any vets among the Audiophiles here? USAF Microwave Communications Technician from 1973 to 1976. Stationed in the U.S. for 2 years and then England for 2 years.Bought my first sound system overseas - Marantz 2275 Receiver, JBL 4311 Speakers, and a Marantz Turntable with a Stanto 681E... | |
| How to do dedicated circuits with isolated grounds I have to agree with Jea48 that larger gauge wire is desired for good transient response (lower voltage drop under demand). I went with #6 wire because it was the largest gauge wire I could use that would minimize voltage drops and the need for te... | |
| Listening Fatigue Harshness! It can come from any number of souces. It can be a bad recording, noisy power, poor set-up, any of the various pieces of equipment, cables, etc, or any combination thereof. The lower the total level of harshness, the louder I can play t... | |
| How to do dedicated circuits with isolated grounds I just rewired the power to my system also, but did it a little differently - I put in a 240V circuit. I added a new 200A sub-panel next to the main service panel, used a 15A 2-pole breaker, and then ran four 6awg wires (2 hots, 1 neutral & 1 ... | |
| Best auto-lift/shutoff turntables? I know this is re-starting an old thread, but I can't stand reading about auto lift mechanisms that degrade the sound of a turntable. It is probably not available any more, but my second ever turntable (after i got rid of my horrible sounding Tech... | |
| Tell us compliments received on your system... My most common responses are "...sounds good" and "Wow...there's a lot of detail", but my favorite came from a friend who, after listening for awhile said "Her voice is coming from there" pointing to my center channel speaker. When I told him that... | |
| where to find lead shot? I bought my lead shot at a local gun store. They carried several sizes for reloading shotgun shells. I used the smallest size they sold, to maximize density. |
