| Best Pre-amp for Bi-amping? Oooops. I meant the GFP 555 II, of course! | |
| Best Pre-amp for Bi-amping? I have been thinking about this recently. One thing to consider, in addition to the other excellent suggestions, is a preamp with regular and "bypass" outputs. For example, the Adcom GFA 555 II has "tone bypass" outputs that could be connected to ... | |
| BAT VK-5i / Sonic Frontiers Line 2 I have done a direct comparison. I agree with the prior post. The SF is neutral and clean and the BAT was dynamic and allowed the music to "pulse" through it, but the SF was dynamic as well and had a great clarity and soundstage. Overall I passed ... | |
| These are the best Solid State Amps I see you mentioned the BAT VK-500. Have you heard the VK-200 and how do you think it compares? Would it be on the list? Anyone else have any comments? | |
| I m a beginner. Please help Wow. You are a sheep in a wolf's den here. Your approach could vary from between $1000-100,000 so you need to take your time, experiment with what you like and dislike and have fun along the way. | |
| If you Bi-Amp a 4 ohm speaker = Ohms???? The posts above are all correct. Your speakers have a low impedance at a certain frequency and you don't know which frequency, so if you go with the amps per channel approach you are stuck at that freq. on each channel. However, if you isolate the... | |
| long term disappointments? I disagree with the implications suggested but not stated by HifiHarv and Sean. I do not believe that just because a component receives a less-than-flattering review is a reason to discard it. I have seen horrible reviews of great products and as ... | |
| Receiver going in protect mode Well... isn't the Apex DVD player the cheapie DVD with no region encoding and the "secret" menu? Perhaps this is the culprit? Acutally that is highly unlikely. Ditch the Bose speakers and get some real speakers....anything! In my opinion, its the ... | |
| Upgrade Advice I would try the PS Audio Power Plant P300 power conditioner with multiwave option. You could power the theta or the harmonic technologies with clean AC through this power conditioner, or else you could plug the ML's into it. Then you could increas... | |
| Passive Bi-Amping of Stereo Amps Yeah, but hey, that tends to happen when you are on the cutting edge. One more thought, an easy way to invert the signal would be to rewire one of the RCA connectors from the Y splitter so that the polarity is opposite of the other one. Also, prob... | |
| Passive Bi-Amping of Stereo Amps I agree and disagree. You are cooked if you try it. But if you could somehow invert the signal going into one channel you could, in theory take the balanced output to your speakers. I guess this could be done by getting two D/A's and connecting a ... | |
| Upgrade to balanced XLR interconnects? You really don't have to spend a lot. For example, you may want to try out the DH Labs (silver sonic) Air Matrix. Its less than $200 and fully shielded (I think, check out the website its listed on the links here). Its working for me, but I am not... | |
| Passive pre VS active pre I never thought that the passive ones sounded that good, and they were never able to play very loudly. Plus, they cost just as much but have less stuff inside, so I kinda feel like they are less economical. They also are very sensitive to cables. ... |
