| EAD lovers: tell me about the $10K TM Sig Classic I'm not sure exactly when (I'm sure others here could say) but EAD as it was when the DSP-7000 and DSP-9000 were invented is not the same company that's around today. EAD USA is now really Alpha Digital Tech. I guess technically the company that w... | |
| EAD lovers: tell me about the $10K TM Sig Classic Yes, I am well aware that EAD is out of business. You interest me with the CAL; which EAD have you compared it to? | |
| Are any of the newer DACs better than BB PCM63s? Hmm, we seem to have a difference of opinion here, gentlemen. I know very well that there's a lot more to the sound than just the DAC. As you pointed out, Alex, a well executed design is necessary along with a good DAC. So how do we know when we'r... | |
| EAD lovers: tell me about the $10K TM Sig Classic Well, my loss. I was unwilling to exceed my maximum on the auction, so I lost out on the TM Classic. Oh well.As far as BM, some DVD players like the Marantz have pretty decent capability. I can do speaker size settings, distance for each speaker t... | |
| Is 24/192 all hype? So, Sean, "in theory" would a prepro / preamp / whatever we need to call it that had bandwidth capabiltiy beyond 20 KHz, doing a good job on the other factors you mention, be a better interface for a fully featured unidisk player than an equivalen... | |
| EAD lovers: tell me about the $10K TM Sig Classic How would something like this (Classic) compare to one of these good analog multichannel preamps? | |
| EAD lovers: tell me about the $10K TM Sig Classic Okay. So now it comes to the next question (which I actually already posted as a new thread in Digital, but it has not yet been put on the board). Let's say I'm looking at one of these Classic Sigs (no multichannel analog bypass). I now use a unid... | |
| EAD lovers: tell me about the $10K TM Sig Classic Thanks Sat. But wasn't there a bit of a controversy about whether the later EADs sounded as good? One aspect was the DACs, as you mentioned, but also the addition of onboard video switching. One thing that always got me about EAD was how they had ... | |
| A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help Yes, I've head that there are such subs, Dave. One more data point to keep in the mix.To all, as far as one of my original points goes, what if I got something like a McCormack MAP-1 multichannel preamp? How does something like this stack up again... | |
| A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help Hmm, that's an interesting tidbit about adding a sub for LFE even with full range fronts. I'll have to keep that on the list of things to juggle in this whole merry-go-round. Thanks. | |
| A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help Thanks for the words on the Mac, Maril. | |
| A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help Nighthawk, in my ideal approach I would plan to get a two (or three) channel amp to support the additional amplification. Like you, I'm not sold on the merits of a center channel. I'm not sure about going the receiver route. I'm a big believer in ... | |
| A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help Maril, this is very interesting news. I am also very curious as to how you would characterize the difference in sound between the Bryston and McIntosh. I had heard that the 1.7 had a very good analog preamp capability. My recollection of Bryston g... | |
| A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help Thanks for the info on the Aragon. I did not discount it from my consideration, really. I just had not looked into it very much. I will explore this further. | |
| A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help I understand your position, Sean. I've done some further research into the postings here, and there are more than a few people who have tried this and not been happy. So I have to consider that it is a difficult thing to do, at best. I think my fi... |
