| 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... | |
| A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help Jeff, I have NO intention of getting rid of anything of mine. Even if I ultimately replace my EAD transport / DA with the Marantz 8400, I will just box away the EAD stuff. Same for the Bedini 866.I have been thinking the same thing about the cente... | |
| A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help Yeah, my wife would not be too happy about turning our den into an equipment obstacle course! (g) | |
| A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help Upadte: Ron, forgive me for being an idiot. I guess the McIntosh has only just come out. Probably not many on the used market! | |
| A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help Rontube, I could maybe see what the MX119 goes for on the used market. I haven't heard any Mac stuff in quite a few years. Can you give me a feeling for the sonic character of this device? | |
| A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help Gunbei, I'm very envious that you've been able to do this all in one room (it must be some room!), but you must believe me when I say I know I could not put a 2 channel and HT system in my den (I've tried with some friend's equipment).I am the fir... | |
| A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help Okay. Let's say I go along with this (BTW, Beemer, I see from your other posts that you have quite a 2 channel system from the looks of it). My Bedini preamp does not have a unity gain output, so unless I either run it fully cranked or make some k... |
