| Loud pop/screech when powering on amp I’m waiting on a response from AR. I may just cut my losses and try to find another 1Kish 5 channel. If you decide to cut losses you should jump on this — excellent amp at a very attractive price… https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650080066-m... | |
| Anthem MRX 740 8K as an upgrade to my Denon AVR-X3700H Not running at all, just no desire to waste my time on nothing nor to unnecessarily derail the OP’s thread any further. If you wanna flesh this out more I’d encourage you to start a new thread entitled “Prepros smack all your 2 channel purist gea... | |
| Anthem MRX 740 8K as an upgrade to my Denon AVR-X3700H @deep_333 I learned a long time ago not to wrestle in the mud with a pig because the pig likes it, so we’ll just agree to disagree on this and go on with life as we see fit. To each his own. | |
| Anthem MRX 740 8K as an upgrade to my Denon AVR-X3700H @deep_333 Keep deluding yourself that a Jack of all trades, master of nothing prepro built to a price point with lesser parts quality, power supplies, etc. and loaded with all manner of digital/circuit noise somehow magically sounds better than a ... | |
| Anthem MRX 740 8K as an upgrade to my Denon AVR-X3700H Get the Marantz AV10 PREPRO. Pair it with separate hifi power amps and it will start to smack all your 2 channel purist gear for music Yeah, prepros often “smack” dedicated stereo components. NOT! | |
| Starting a second system, need efficient speaker suggestions. +1 Reference 3a MM DE CAPO BE II MONITOR. Fritz speakers would also be worth checking into. | |
| Considering a Backert Rhythm 1.4, talk me out of it Well, as I’m sure you know the Rhumba Extreme gets you a lot of the Rhythm’s performance for $8500. Another one to consider would be the Atmasphere MP-1 that’s around $10k w/o phono stage. VAC may also be worth a look, and on the solid state sid... | |
| Loud pop/screech when powering on amp Regarding the red dot, this is from the manual… “For best sonic results, correct orientation of the AC plug is important. The prong with the red dot should be connected to the "hot" connection of your wall socket.” Maybe it’s a Euro thing or som... | |
| Starting a second system, need efficient speaker suggestions. What sound characteristics are you looking for, and are you looking for new or used? | |
| Speakers replace or improve? So, your system sounds fine with CDs but just not with vinyl. That would’ve been important info to have included in your original post dontcha think??? I wasted some time researching your issue for nothing because of this significant oversight o... | |
| Comparing Chord Qutest Dac with the Built in Dac in Lumin T3 Streamer You’re unlikely to find someone who’s compared these two directly. I’ll just say at the $5k price level for the T3 I’d go with separates both for overall better sound quality potential and flexibility of upgrading in the future. DACs (and stream... | |
| Loud pop/screech when powering on amp If it doesn’t run hot at idle I’d leave it on 24/7 (along with at least your preamp) until you get this sorted to minimize the possibility of damaging your speakers. I’d go right to the source and call Audio Refinement directly. Best of luck fin... | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker I’ve only heard the Pulsars at shows, but just going by what I’ve read in reviews it seems one of the more defining differences may be in the treble where the Alyssa sounds like it could be a little more laid back relative to the Pulsars. Not say... | |
| which gain setting for Bryston 4b cubed power amp using my RME ADI-2 DAC FS? I tend to doubt the RME is fully balanced as they never mention it on their site as you think they would, and you’d also think if it was they would’ve included an AES/EBU input instead of just SPDIF and Toslink. As the output of the balanced outs... | |
| Magico Owners - what are you using for amplification? I got to speak with Alon Wolf in person and during the conversation he mentioned he really liked Hegel with his speakers that kinda surprised me, FWIW. |
