| Comparisons of new generation PrePros I don't believe it handles 7.1. I have no idea how it performs in surround mode. But it's 2-channel is excellent for this price break.-IMO | |
| Choice of Wire for Dedicated Line William, in my opinion there's a lot of RF everywhere. But obviously a bit more in your local.To me, the advice is the same. I would recommend a 10guage 99.95% OFC that you can pick relatively cheap at partsexpress.com or some similar site. Then t... | |
| Comparisons of new generation PrePros I own a Primare P30 pre/pro and use it in my 2-channel only system. Far exceeds the sonics of some highly rated 2-channel preamps. I've a/b compared the P30 to 3 different pre-amps in my home. The closest competitor was an Ayre k3-x. But when it c... | |

| What size subwoofer to get? I believe you are approaching your dilemma from the wrong angle. The size and quantities of subwoofer do not matter one bit unless you are already buying the absolute best. Why would anybody want to purchase two mediocre subs when they could have ... | |
| The death of an amplifier Actually, religion is finite man's (homemade) attempts to reach an infinite God. Not real practical when you think about it. | |
| CD Player buying decisions A used Sony DVP s9000es should easily compete with or perhaps excel some of those in your current list of cdp's regarding redbook cd playback.And since you are not interested in SACD and DVD, I will not bother mentioning that the s9000es excels in... | |
| Best SACD/CD Player up to 3000 street price? I think you'd be hard pressed to find any cdp better than the SCD-1 in this price range. I'm very confident that you will not find a better built unit than the SCD-1 in this price range. This unit is built like a tank and weighs almost the same.Of... | |
| how can I find the polarity out from my XLR As I recall, the earliest version of the Sony SCD-1 had pin 3 hot, but they did come out with a later version. One of the changes was to make pin 2 hot. | |
| how can I find the polarity out from my XLR Try changing your speaker cable connections at the amp. Move the (+) to the (-) and vice versa.If the sound improves substantially, then your XLR connections (or some other connection) are reversed polarity. | |
| Amp for Eidolon again Look no further. This would be the last amp you would purchase for a long time. There are maybe a handful of amps that could even begin to approach the detail, transparency, tonal accuracy, speed, bass, etc. of this amp. But those others are many ... | |
| high-end vs. ultra high-end amplifiers I believe Dazzdax to be very perceptive in his observations. Although I may or may not agree with his list. But the list could certainly be expanded to include other brand names. I also believe Dazzdax was accurate when he limited his observation ... | |
| Advice on building a dedicated listening room. You might want to consider adding about 4 or 5 more dedicated lines to your room. Each component should be on it's own dedicated circuits/lines, especially if you have a digital source in the system. At least two of the dedicated lines should be 2... | |
| PC/Conditioner question Matty, can you tell if these 'grainy' cd's are recorded that way? For example, I have some favorite cd's that are 15 years old. I love 'em but the digital recording technology was not all that people were cracking it up to be back then i.e. digita... | |
