| How to remove harshness from my digital gear Since someone mentioned cheap tube gizmos, I will mention that it could be a cheap fix for you. I picked up one of those Yaquin SD-CD3 tube buffers with a decent set of tubes and it rounded things out pretty nicely for me. I have a bright room and... | |
| Amp/Pre-amp Bridge 101 The only way that I can possibly see utilizing both amps is to "Y" out of the pre amp outs. One end goes to the 2150 and the other into the 701. If you have a away to adjust the levels on the 2150, you can bi amp your speakers, assuming that they ... | |
| Paradigm bookshelf speakers... I had the Studio 10s recently. My impression of them was that they like power. If I'm reading the impedance graphs on the Studio 10s correctly, they spend a good bit of time dipping down into the 4 ohm range.They had good bass for a speaker their ... | |
| Do I need an external DAC to play my music files? I'm a little unclear about what you are saying. I know that the Oppo is a nice sounding unit, but are you saying that you are using the internal DAC in the Integra unit to decode your music files?If this is what you're saying, I think that you can... | |
| Is the Bryston BDP-1 worth $$$ over Apple TV Mike,How much money do you want to throw at this to be able to play digital music? Are you playing hi rez files or is all of your stuff just ripped from CD? When you say "Apple lossless" are you actually talking about Apple Lossless or are you tal... | |
| Speaker advice? The best way that I can describe the bass from the Minuet is that it does what it can do very well, but it doesn't go low.Although Silverline specs the Minuet Supreme Plus as having a frequency range of 55hz-28khz, what it will do in your room dep... | |
| Speaker advice? If you're considering the Studio 20s, I'd strongly suggest that you check out the Studio 10s as well. Yes, the 20s are larger and they go a bit lower, but the 10s sounded much better. The mid range was just more pleasing to my ears.In a room the s... | |
| Remote control for Philips Cd 753 There are Harmony models that go for around $20. | |
| Speaker advice? I'll agree with Schubert on the Minuets. My last pair of speakers were system audio SA505s. They did acoustical and jazz very well, but didn't do rock very well at all. I got the Minuets and they do produce a very satisfying sound with jazz and su... | |
| Harbeth Compact 7s vs. Pioneer's $129 speakers Yeah, those little Pioneers are a prime example of a good bang for the buck. They don't do everything right, but they don't do anything wrong, either. | |
| Reading Spec Sheets Yeah, my unscientific method of analysis is to look at the specs regarding power output at 8, 4 and 2 ohms, WITH ALL CHANNEL DRIVEN.Just as an example, I have an Aragon 2004 2 channel amp that's as old as the hills. It's rated at 100wpc at 8 ohms ... | |
| Remote control for Philips Cd 753 If you can't find one on ebay, I'm sure that Harmony has something that will work. | |
| NCore vs. Ice -- single or separate cases The pre amp I'm using is an NAD C162. | |
| amp for Silverline minuet supreme plus? Mountainsong, if I remember right, those jumpers aren't cheap. Did you try bi-wiring before you got the jumpers?As for the amp, I did try some Minuets with a small NAD integrated. The 326BEE, I think it was. Very satisfying sound coming from that ... | |
| NCore vs. Ice -- single or separate cases Oh, last question. Why is it necessary to use two power supplies? My research indicates that one provides more than enough power for two NC400s.I'm asking because if two power supplies are necessary, I'm going to go ahead and put them into separat... |
