| Amp upgrade recommendations Eagle, I'm well aware(I was a year ago anyway) of what goes on with the Rev A, B, & C's to the DNA-2 standard, Deluxe, and LAE.It's just hard for me to believe that Steve could improve upon one of his products that has already reached perfecti... | |
| amplifier's "slam-factor" I cannot provide the answer to your question, however, I do not believe that the 'speed' or 'fast' actions of the transistors and/or high biasing automatically imply slam factor. Although these positive attributes would most certainly help to cont... | |
| Problem with Home Theater Volume Sean's da' man!!! | |
| Problem with Home Theater Volume To go along the same thought line as Sean, if you can, try setting all of your component's settings back to default factory settings and start over with your config. Maybe that would reset something you've modified but forgot.If Sean's suggestions... | |
| Opinions on why this system is uninvolving Asa, I've never listened to the Vandersteen Model 5, nor have I ever seen a model 5 in person. Now that you know where I'm coming from, I'm going to say that you probably don't have a clue what you're talking about when it comes to the Vm5's.You m... | |
| Amp upgrade recommendations Asi Tek, sorry for the confusion. My intention was to compare the DNA-1 to the DNA-125 and then the DNA-2 to the DNA-225 respectively. This, I believe, is the correct comparison for these older models to the newer.Glad you like your 225 so much. | |
| Amp upgrade recommendations There appears to be some confusion with McCormack amps. I'm not exactly a McCormack amp expert but while thoroughly enjoying my own McCormack amplifier, I've done some research and had a few converstions with people in the know.Here's how I see th... | |
| SACD BREAKING-IN EXPERIENCE................ Ben, I own the SCD-1 and DVP s9000es players. In my experience and from what others have said in previous threads:1. The s9000es takes about 200 hours for the cd laser to to burn-in and 200 to 400 hours for the SACD laser. The SCD-1 took me about ... | |
| Orchestral brass and fanfare - analysis of system As those above indicate, it could be a number of things. There's a lot of symphonic music that is quite dynamic even awesome.If you are listening to decent recording labels such as Telarc, Reference Recordings, etc., then I would absatively posilu... | |
| 2nd amp or one bigger amp? What is your budget?Typically you'll get more for your budget if you invest in one better amp.With a tight budget in mine, if you should go with monoblocks, keep in mind that you'll eventually need two aftermarket power cords and/or power conditio... | |
| Amp upgrade recommendations As I'm sure you are aware the DNA 0.5 has a somewhat of legendary reputation. If you don't need the raw power, then a REV A upgrade could be just what the doctor ordered.Personally, I would want to ensure I have the power reserves for dynamic peak... | |
| Opinions on why this system is uninvolving Hockey, do you realize what you are saying? You gotta' know that there's at least one Revel idolater in this thread who worships the spiked feet that the Studio's rest on?And in one swell foop, you brought their shrine down to a pile of rubble.I'm... | |
| Amps, preamps, and home theater I used to own a Denon AVR 5700. Then bought an amp, using the Denon as a preamp, then bought a pre/pro, and then sold the Denon. And that was only the beginning...Based on the budget you have and assuming you already have a decent cd player, inter... | |
| Review: Foundation Research LC-2 AC filter Hdm, I am floating the ground for all dedicated lines back at the service panel. And an LC-1 is good for up to 100 wpc whereas the LC-2 is rated for up to 200 wpc and I believe the new LC-3 is for up to 300+ wpc.The reviewing software did not capt... | |
