| Integrated / speaker pairings in the $6-7K range Really depends on what sound characteristics are most important to you. | |
| Need Advise On Upgrading My System if I add a 2 channel amp to the ARCAM will I still be able to hear my TV when needed through my towers, center channel and 2 REL’s?Absolutely yes. When you select the input on the stereo integrated (optimally the HT Bypass input if it has one) th... | |
| High End Headphones And HP Amp. No, but really depends on what sound characteristics you’re looking for. Nice ‘phones, but you really want to pair them with an amp/DAC that compliment them for your tastes. What are you looking for? You might be able to get what you’re looking... | |
| Need Advise On Upgrading My System My question is to find out if I could achieve better sound quality by upgrading to an ARCAM 30 receiver.NO!!! Frankly, I got to compare this AVR directly to a comparable Yamaha AVR, and the Yammy Aventage was better. That said, NO!!! Do the right ... | |
| DAC Upgrade Advice, budget $5k Definitely look at the DACs higher up the Denafrips line as you seem to like a lot about the Ares, and their more expensive models may well fill in the gaps you found in the Ares while expanding further on its strengths. Along the same lines the ... | |
| Perfect match for ATC speakers I asked two questions and you answered neither, so I’m out. I used to sell ATC speakers a while back and the advice from @jjss49 is spot on. Best of luck. | |
| Perfect match for ATC speakers Depends on your budget and what sound characteristics you’re looking for. | |
| Subwoofer I’d go with a company that’s more dedicated to making subwoofers. The SVS SB1000 Pro is $500 and will get you down to 20Hz (-3dB), and they offer a generous and truly risk-free trial so you can see if they give you everything you’re looking for. ... | |
| Getting with the 21st century, need DAC for streaming I think there are some very good DACs in the $1000 - $1500 price range that’d be a nice sonic upgrade from your CD player and allow you to enter the awesome world of streaming. Some ideas would be Soekris 2541, Musician Pegasus, or Gustard X26 ju... | |

| Dual SVS PB-1000 Pro versus Dual Rythmik LV12F- does Servo Technology Matter. Also, if I ever ask a question again on Audiogon I will ask that people that believe in cables, power conditioning, the superiority of analog, etc to avoid posting.Well, if that’s the way you feel about it then don’t say something like...While the... | |
| Just Curious - About using a AV Receiver as main unit By definition I suppose an AVR is a compromise, but to me the higher end ones can seem like the best of both worlds.My guess is I'd need to go from mid fi to high end reference speakers to really need separatesThe only correct part of this stateme... | |
| Dual SVS PB-1000 Pro versus Dual Rythmik LV12F- does Servo Technology Matter. AVRs and serious music listening are entirely compatible, provided you know what you are doing. Uh, due respect, no. Just...no. And it’s not a matter of setup either. AVRs are designed to meet a price point the mass market will accept, which of ne... | |
| Integrated Amplifier for B&W 803 D3 Having worked briefly for Magnolia and having heard top Mac gear with 802D3s and KEF Blades pretty extensively, I have to say I largely agree with what I heard on the above video. For me, poorer recordings were well served by the “beautification” ... | |
| Dual SVS PB-1000 Pro versus Dual Rythmik LV12F- does Servo Technology Matter. I am still mostly sold on the SVS but I wonder if the servo technology of the Rythmik might give me somewhat better performance for music.I have to say I agree with @artemus_5 that debating between these two subs is small potatoes versus the negat... |
