| Buying new pre-amp Well I did buy an Emotiva RSP-2 pre-amp. Yes I have in fact replaced the RSP-2 three times, and am awaiting my fourth unit! The first one had a noisy phono stage, and very sticky volume control when operated by remote.The second had half the logo ... | |
| AKG K701 Thanks for all the great input guys. Currently I own Etymotis Er-6's. I want something neutral, accurate, and spacial. I am hoping all this stuff I'm reading about a weak low end just means the bass is tight and dry. I hate boomy bass! I have also... | |
| Crown Xti-2000 Hum I found the ground loop problem! It was the cable box which goes into my 62" tv then the tv goes to my Crown IC-150. Pull those off the Crown and the buzz and hum are gone. I bought the Rolls he18 hum reducer and hooked it up between the tv out an... | |
| Crown amps Whoaru, What is your personal take on their sound quality? | |
| Crown amps Thnaks I'm going to give it a try. For the money I just can't see how I can go wrong. | |
| Crown amps Well playing with the DSP is out for me seeing how I have Mac. The DSP really doesn't interest me though. The only reason's I'm going for the XTI, and not the XLS series is 1. proportional speed fans, 2. turn on transient muting, and three better ... | |
| Crown amps Ellery911, You may be right. I just don't know that yet, and the only way to find out is to take home a demo which I plan to do next week. I think my LSI/25's are a decent speaker fully capable of revealing the difference's between two amps. The C... | |
| Crown amps The Xti Series damps out turn on transients. If Crown amps Hum, Hiss, and Crackled I don't understand how they could sell one. Can you elaborate on this. | |
| Crown amps I use to have a H/K Citation 12 years ago. It was a nice sounding amp. At one point I also had an H/K 2000, 930 receiver, and CDR26 c.d. recorder. They were all decent products. It's to bad H/K stopped making the Citation line of components, it wo... | |
| Crown amps Well that sure is a wealth of info. It almost reminds me of those nightmare Bose hate agenda threads. Didn't mean to start a rant. Luckily I can take the amp home for a demo. If I like it I'll keep it, if not I'll just return it. I do have an Onky... | |
| Crown amps I'm going on my experience with their DC300a which by the way was also a touring amp. That is still one of the best amps I ever heard, and I have heard many including some tube amps. The more I look at some of these pro amps the more interesting t... | |
| Crown amps Ok, I heard about this amp called Blue Ice by Technical hifi. I went to their website to have a look, and it seems to gone. I'm just curious who they are? I think I have settled on the Crown XTI-2000. It's a lot of amp for $700.00 bucks. Looks wel... | |
| Crown amps Thanks for all the info. My Crown pre-amp has a maximum output of 12 volts, so driving any one of these things should not be a problem. What I may have to deal with is hum, but I figure if I keep my runs to 4 feet that shouln't be a problem either... |
