| Amp with a hard,clean and cold sound... I second the Innersound ESL 300 as a clean amp. It sounds very good in the right system. "Cold" and "hard" often have negative connotations, but I think I understand what you're striving for (clean, neutral). I once borrowed an Edge Si-1M PREAMP a... | |
| help me build a system for $1200 I was the medical student who introduced mechans to this "miserable hobby". Sorry about that, bud. :)I agree with the suggestions to keep the NAD for now, and focus first on the speakers. Depending on your musical tastes (I'm not familiar with "in... | |
| 15A or 20A wall recepticles? No, Sfar, it is NOT required to use a 20A receptacle on a branch circuit rated at 20A UNLESS the receptacle is the ONLY one on the circuit. Why don't you test this in your own house: Kitchens required 2 20A circuits (GFCI-protected), and bathrooms... | |
| 15A or 20A wall recepticles? If you have only one outlet on the circuit, it must be a 20A outlet. For multiple outlets, it is permissable to use 15A outlets, but I generally use 20A outlets. If you have the capability, might as well advertise it, right? And I'm sure you're al... | |
| Best used amp in the $1500 range I personally feel that the preamp has more of an impact on the sound than then amp (assuming the amp and speakers mate reasonably well).Perhaps what you're looking for is a different sounding system for certain types of music. If so, maybe you wou... | |
| Good Preamp with Digital Input I second the idea to simply use an external DAC. You gain significantly more flexibility.Michael | |
| Best used amp in the $1500 range There are a number of good choices in your price range; which one you choose depends largely on your personal preference, speakers, and rest of components.In addition to the McCormack, Parasound, and Bryston suggestions above, I would also recomme... | |

| Differences with CD ripping speeds audio folklore? Audphile1, you say that you can tell the difference between an original CD and a copy. How is this possible? After all, if, when copying a CD, it routinely made mistakes, we would not be using CD's for computers. We'd still be using floppies or zi... | |
| Anyone noticed HT better with DVR? No, my old box did not output Dolby Digital (just stereo analog outputs). Actually, my new box doesn't output DD either. It's just digital PCM. But you're right, my pre/pro DAC is so much better than the former cable box that it just sounds like a... | |
| Differences with CD ripping speeds audio folklore? I can't comment on whether the copy or the original are identical because the usual way of assessing the original CD data is to extract it onto a hard drive.Since two different drives produced bit-identical results, I can say with a high probabili... | |
| What is/are your the most favourite composer s ? Over the past few years, I've come to absolutely admire Dvorak in his ability to consistently compose pieces that I love. The symphonies (esp 7-9), cello concerto, violin concerto, string symphonies, etc are fantastic. He has become my favorite co... | |
| Which integrated: Nait 5i, Panache or Shanling? If you're using a cheap CD player, perhaps your best bet would be a Music Hall Mambo, which not only sounds great but also has a built-in DAC, so you would be effectively upgrading your source as well.Michael | |
