| Inexpensive/solid 2-channel amp for rear speakers? "if I want to upgrade down the road I can get a killer 2-channel amp for the fronts and use the MCA-50 for the rest".I don't regard the MCA series as "killer". Excellent value without doubt, but killer? - no. Save $ today to put towards your kille... | |
| Why do some DACs have transformers? Some DAC's have inboard transformers as they have inboard power supplies. Others have wall warts as their transformers. Which do you think has better power regulation? | |
| Inexpensive/solid 2-channel amp for rear speakers? No point in using a MCA20 for front left/right, as the MCA50 has two transformers, one for 3 channels and one for 2, so it's an MCA30 and an MCA20 in one chassis.I did the same thing as Jonsher using the Anthem MCA5 as my main amp until more $ cam... | |
| Musical Fidelity A324 DAC, Is this a ?? After the Tellig-Stereophile review, where, of course, any MF stuff portends new audio enlightenment I borrowed one from my dealer.Utterly nondescript - when using a Denon changer into a Sunfire preamp, there was no significant change between usin... | |
| leave solid state power amps on? Buy a Bryston, and don't worry about it for 20 years. | |
| Newbie question for amps: Sunfire, Anthem, Rotel? Can't comment on the others, and suspect they're good pieces, but I've had an Anthem MCA 5 in my system for 5 (holy crow - five!?) years now, and it's the longest lasting piece I've had.While it only does duty for the center and rear speakers, it'... | |
| HYBRID, ELECTROSTATIC.... I have ML SL3's, and previously used a HSU 12V with reasonably satisfying results. Be careful of it's placement as it can sound bloated, particularly when using something like an electrostatic.Regarding main speaker placement, ML suggests 4 ft. fr... | |
| I need a speakercable that bring voices forward me Sean,Germans get the worst of it because they're such crappy tippers. If someone has a German accent in your party, they'll put 20% tip on and dare you to decrease it, even for crappy, east Florida service.It sounds like Grisslehamn has the hang o... | |
| I need a speakercable that bring voices forward me To second Gunbei - Miami in August? Sorta like Stockholm in January - What were you thinking.There's a local chain called Sound Advice which sells Krell, Martin Logan etc., and relies on name recognition more than solid equipment selection. The sa... | |

| I need a speakercable that bring voices forward me You know, I'd been really getting bored by the same old threads for the past few weeks, but this one and ol' Procalc's on the DK have been like a blast of fresh air.I propose that Grisslehamn and Procalc should have to submit new topics once a wee... | |
| What is a "SHOTGUN" speaker cable?? I believe you are right themadmilkman. | |
| I need a speakercable that bring voices forward me Grisslehamn - Given your system description, I suggest you look at speakers who's name begin with an 'a'. You can do a search on the Manufacturers Directory.I side with the group who does not consider Rsbeck to be rude, but more of a breath-of-fre... | |
| Differences - Sunfire Theater Grand II and III I believe the major differences are that the III has analog inputs for DVD-A and SACD, and a digital version of the sonic hologram generator, as well as pro-logic II .There's some other minor differences but I forget what they are. | |
