| Looking for a digital cable 75 ohm I preferred this $40 Apogee cable to my Stereovox XV2, which I believe is the same guy behind Black Cat. I think John Atkinson used this as his reference for a while as well, if that even means anything. The Apogee was more natural sounding with... | |
| How would you introduce tubes into this SS system? Congrats on the speakers (if it works out)! Might be worth a call to the guy with the Cayin to see if he has any thoughts on parts and service, and he may be willing to lower the price to compensate. If he's had the amp for a while and it's been... | |
| Musical Sound Quality of AV Surround receiver vs. pure Stereo @phill55 -- The Hegel has line-level outputs, which is all you'd need to connect your subwoofer.The difference in amps, contrary to what some say, is quite minimal.I'm just going to flat out disagree with @secretguy here. If you at all care about... | |
| Some Basic Center Channel speaker reccomendaitons The best center channel speakers I’ve heard have had a dedicated midrange driver located below the tweeter. You’ll notice the Aperion is configured this way, and I’ve also heard it in a system I’m familiar with. It’s one of the few center speakers... | |
| Looking for an amp....Opinions about Odyssey or Bel Canto audio anyone? What about this classic beast?https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649428780-lae-mccormack-dna-2-amplifier/ | |
| Some Basic Center Channel speaker reccomendaitons If you're not up for buying three matching speakers, what about just setting your prepro or AVR to "phantom" for center channel (if you haven't already) since this is for non-critical listening?If you're definitely keeping your speakers that you'r... | |
| Some Basic Center Channel speaker reccomendaitons What's your budget? I assume you mean a "height" of 7" or less? What amp will you be driving it with? Will it be in a cabinet or does it need to be close to the back wall? How big is your room? | |
| How would you introduce tubes into this SS system? Both. Actually, and I don't mean to be, er, mean, but replace the whole shebang. It's time.

| Weakest link? Nice! Man, I bet the Salons sound awesome with those subs with good 2-channel material. | |
| How does the digital bypass on home theater processor work Given what you're looking to do, and that unfortunately the Mytek looks like it only has one analog input that presumably will be taken by your turntable, you'd just run the analog out from the Mytek into the front L/R analog inputs on the prepro.... | |
| Weakest link? Not that the 8802a is a bad prepro at all, but I think you'd get the biggest improvement by incorporating a good stereo preamp (preferably with a HT bypass input) if 2-channel is important -- and I assume it is since you're not asking this in the ... | |
| How does the digital bypass on home theater processor work I think you might be thinking of this backwards. The idea is to run the front L/R preouts from the prepro to an analog input on the Mytek. That way only the Brooklyn is in the playback chain for critical 2-channel listening and the prepro is com... | |
| My Amp is Broken - Not Sure What to Do - Any Recommendations? McCormack is reputed to match well with Vandy speakers. Here's an upgraded DNA-1 at a good price that should have plenty of power for your 3As. Best of luck in whatever you decide. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649468342-mccormack-dna1-w-s... | |
