| Budget AVR as a preamp It is possible that I misunderstood the instruction manual, but I think it has a "direct" mode but not a "pure audio" mode. It means that there is no digital processing of the signal, but under pure audio mode all other circuitry is disabled, incl... | |
| Budget AVR as a preamp Onkyo TX-SR606. Onecall $388. I can attest to the quality of the Onkyo receivers. I have an 805 and a 505. I highly recommend them. | |
| Members with No Feedback What does it take to "clear" an international MO? With the USPS, I get cash and no bank is involved. USPS told me that I could simply cash the USPS MO at my local bank, but if it is fraudulent the bank would deduct the funds from my account and I ... | |
| bass in the room No, actually, I was joking, thinking of what my very patient wife would say to bass traps in the hallway. I would probably be beaten over the head with them! I have found that using a decibel meter and one of the spreadsheets for bass frequencies ... | |
| Members with No Feedback My transaction was great. US Postal Money Order cashed. Added to the new buyers feedback. Let's hope we can welcome more good people to our little corner of the world. | |
| bass in the room I am imagining a grouping of bass traps in the hallway. Hmmm...... That should go over well. | |
| Oppo 980 or Sony 9100ES or Denon 3910 as transport Now, if it fits in the budget.....Or, I wait and go completely hard disc...Decisions, decisions....! | |
| bass in the room You could try the old method of putting the sub where you sit and taking measurement around the room to find the best place to put the sub. It might be in a spot you haven't thought of. Bass nodes are funny things and hard to predict. Also, the wa... | |
| Subwoofer Advice For Stereo Music System, Not HT Thanks, Bob! It's always a pleasure learning from you! | |
| Oppo 980 or Sony 9100ES or Denon 3910 as transport Ekobesky, Thanks much for the info. The hunt continues! | |
| Oppo 980 or Sony 9100ES or Denon 3910 as transport Ekobeshy, thanks for your thoughtful reply. Much of what you say makes sense. When you think of a dedicated SACD/CD player as a transport, which ones do you think of? | |
| Subwoofer Advice For Stereo Music System, Not HT Bob, Amazing test results for $600. My tiny REL is great for a small room. The bass is tight and crisp and goes to 30Hz. But I like the ported subs like my Hsu Research VTF for large rooms simply because of cost/performance ratios. | |
| Oppo 980 or Sony 9100ES or Denon 3910 as transport I doubt that calling a drive DVD or CD makes much difference. It is all about the construction of the drive. I have heard that DVD drives are more like computer drives and that is appealing. | |
| Oppo 980 or Sony 9100ES or Denon 3910 as transport Thanks for your reply. I am still in the "contemplative" stage and am looking at every possible option. It is hard to give up the Oppo as a video source since it is so precise and versatile. I don't mind having a separate Redbook CD source, as lon... | |
| What's the bottom line on Oppo 980 for CD playback I pine for the days when I had a reputable audio store. For me it was like a candy store for a little kid. There are stores within 60 miles but there is a turnover of staff and they are carrying fewer and fewer lines. The best loan I ever got was ... |
