| Linn Ikemi Repair Thanks for your responses, especially Hodu's suggestion. | |
| Upgrade Path &WThanks again for the replies. The room is a finished basement with plaster board walls and ceiling. Being a basement, the ceiling height is around 7ft. The floors are carpeted with a sectional couch. I guess some sort of room treatments woul... | |
| Upgrade Path On second thought I believe the digital player in the system I heard was a Classe Omega, not the Chord. Just want to be accurate. Thanks again for the replies. | |
| Upgrade Path Thanks for the responses so far, I appreciate your opinions. My ARC amp is SS but the pre is a hybrid tubed. The cables are Tara interconnects and Audioquest silver speaker cables. I do like the sound of my system but I know it can get better. The... | |
| AVR Receiver with Pre Outs Thanks, I'll check it out. I might also just move my old Rotel 1055 into the 2 channel system and get a new receiver for the living room where pre outs are not required. Appreciate the response. | |
| HT Bypass vs Piggy Back Thanks Kal... I didn't realize that. Good thing I thought to check first. I appreciate all the good advice. | |
| Good sounding, small center speaker Check out the ERA's. They have a few models from very small to moderately small and have great bass for such a small speaker. You can get the front three for around $1000 and they sound great. | |
| unobtrusive speaker system? I went with the D4 ERA's from Signal Path. Great sound and unbelievable bass from a small speaker. They also come in a smaller and larger version depending on your needs. Check them out at the link below. Good Luck.http://www.signalpathint.com/ind... | |
| how long to wait for 1080p plasma? I'm not so sure SET is the answer. From what I hear, they will be focusing on the professional community with the initial offerings and it will probably take years before trickling down to consumers. On the other hand, there is already development... | |
| ARC Pre + which SS amp? An ARC 300.2 should be a perfect match. I have an LS15 with the 100.2 and they work great together. I have not heard the 150 and 300 versions of this amp, but if they are anywhere near the 100.2, they are definitely worth checking out. | |
| HT Receiver to 2-channel amp? Ok, now I'm confused. How can you hook the receiver's pre outs to the amp when the 2 channel preamp is already hooked to the amp? Wouldn't you also need to connect the cc/surrounds to the receiver and not the amp? | |
| DVD for image Yup, Oppo...and Happy New Year! | |
| HDMI and Component Go to AVSforum.com, those guys know their stuff when it comes to HT. Their advice re: digital cables (HDMI)is that there is no difference. Just get cables approved for in wall installations if that is your plan, otherwise save your money and look ... | |
| Complete Makeover Is it as easy as just replacing my preamp for one with a pass through setting and use the Rotel with the ARC amp for 7.1 surround and the ARC alone for dedicated 2 channel? Then decide on speakers. | |
| Recommend used digital source for $3K used I'd give a listen to the Linn Ikemi. Used you can save yourself $1000 and I doubt that extra grand will get you a better player. |
