Wadia, Krell or Sony SACD Wife went out of town for a few days, house all to myself..spl's on the + side of normal!! The XA777 has a steady feed of multichannel, two channel sacd's...along with plenty of redbook cd's. Sure glad I'm not stuck with a redbook only player. Jus... | |
Replace my reciever acting as a pre with??? Don't wast your money, keep the Yamaha until you have more cash. None of the stuff you are talking about is any better or at least not much better than the Yamaha. If your going to upgrade...Do it right and get much better. If your set on a tube p... | |
SACD 2 channel vs Hybrid SACD Yep, I understand Rcprince. Lots to worry about with this new format. I guess I might not be so worried if Sony wasn't leading the way. They know how to make products but their marketing is a little out there sometimes.Dave | |
SACD 2 channel vs Hybrid SACD You guys need to try a little harder to stay up on your sacd release info...if anything their is to much old stuff being released, it's hurting the format IMHO.Dave | |
SACD 2 channel vs Hybrid SACD Two channel sacd players play all sacd's in two channel...Multichannel sacd players will play multichannel or two channel. All sacd's have two channel mix. You are a little confused it would seem. Hope this helps.Dave | |
Acoustic Zen Speaker Cables Well Tom, I think they are very close. I think my bass is a little more full with the Harmonic Tech's. The mids are more refined with the Zens and a touch more air...in a biamp setup I like the Pro-9's on the bass and the Zen's on the mids. The Ze... | |
Here's how a CD is made Thanks Cdc, This was the best and most easy to understand read on Cd's I've ever come across. Dave | |
Acoustic Zen Speaker Cables The Acoustic Zen Holograms are great speaker cables, I also have a pair of Harmonic Tech. Pro-9's that are good cables for less money that are almost as good. The designer of the Zen's may have also had a hand in the design of the Harmonic Tech's,... | |
Speaker / Amp Choices for a Large Room Well horns and tubes are one thought on your budget, most of the newer stuff (Large speakers) will eat up your budget with nothing left for an amp to push them with if you go with speakers that are power hungry. Some of the older large speaker sys... | |
Your ''best kept secret'' speaker choice ? For brave people (If they break..you fix) I think Apogees are the best speaker on the market up and down the whole line. For not so brave I'll agree with the Maggies up and down the line.For another Ribbon speaker (hi-brid), Vmps line of Ribbon sp... | |
Equipment found at the dump You the man Clueless...LOL | |
Equipment found at the dump Yup, Lots of stuff gets put out to the trash, the other day my wife was driving not far from the house and she spotted a milk crate full of albums out to the road (52 albums). Most turned out to be near mint and a good many were even in audiophile... | |
Which basic amps can drive 1 ohm loads ? On the cheap, the Krell Ksa-300s would work very well and that is what I would use (better than the classe). The Ksa-150/250's were also made as mono's...the Ksa-250 becomes the MDA-500 and the Ksa-150 becomes the MDA-300. Both of these come up fo... | |
Subwoofer, Active Vs. Passive I made the post on the amp quality. My post was in regard to subs with balanced inputs, I stated that most amp quality in active subs was about $80 and that many active subs have very short warranty on the sub amp. These statements are true in mos... | |
Subs with balanced inputs? One of the reasons you don't see very many is the quality of most amps in active subs is about $80. A great many of them come with very short warranty on the sub amp.Dave |
