| Mid-priced warm sounding DAC? I second the MF A3.24 DAC, it's warm smooth yet has classy high frequency extension that is very easy on the ears. I do miss it at times since I bought the Benchmark DAC1 HDR for its balanced outputs to my new amp. | |
| Benchmark DAC-1 Pre vs Parasound JC-2 I don't have the Parasound but I used the HDR analog in for my Sony DVP-S9000ES SACD playback and digital in for regular CD. The Benchmark preamp functions sound great thru XLR outs. | |
| Benchmark Dac 1 Pre Volume pot? I was worried about just such problem. It seems too small to do daily volume control duty on such device. Mainly I like to ask IF the DAC1 Pre has the same green thing and I have to get the HDR to get the "real" pot? Thanks again. | |
| Parasound HCA-2200II Runs Very Hot But if you say it is too hot to touch or hotter on one side than the other, it could be bias issue. | |
| Should I do this now or wait... Hi Blindjim, you have no issues w/ RCA to XLR inputs? How bout level differences? | |
| Why monoblocks? In larger room and capable speakers, monoblocs will get you closer to "lifelike" concert level yet each can be carried by 2 people rather than a forklift. | |
| Should I do this now or wait... Wireless200, I am running 2 Nakamichi PA7s right now full time, each drawing about 260watts idle in passive biamp mode, it sounds very decent, contrary to what Shannere (Thanks)weblink article mentioned as having little benefit. The overall sound ... | |
| Should I do this now or wait... Guess I will wait awhile for the big monoblocs. Have any of you tried to rig an XLR input amp to take RCA sourced? I am currently running passive volume pot (Alps 30Kohm blue) w/ RCA outs and the X600 takes XLR. Much thanks, TN | |
| What DAC to use with a Sony XA7ES Have you considered that your speakers or speaker placement may be to blame? At the level of sound quality of your unit, it's exceedingly hard to improve upon... | |
| Sound card VS Squeeze box Before I answer the sound quality issue, let focus on one major problem using the computer as source: noises. They come from the fans, the hard drives. Then there are noises from the PC power supply electrically. Now, if all you do is playing musi... | |
| Anyone tried using a sub on BW Nautilus 802s I have a fairly large room (23 by 40ft, ceiling height between 12ft to 30ft) and the N802 deep bass is still fairly good. It's the extra oomph and warmth and lifelike-ness you want, then a PAIR (2) of subs will be needed. It is also the classic pl... | |
| B&W Matrix vs Nautulis My first love was listening to a pair of B&W 801 FS, in late 1979, how lovely and smooth were the sound. Owned a pair of 802FS since late 1986 until last year, what a beautiful relationship! I always felt that the engineering from this little ... | |
| WHOA This isn't what I expected. Let it warm up properly, about an hour, then test it using quality classical musics from label such as Telarc...I own a PA7 since 1986, driving a pair of B&W 802 FS, built my own passive volume control BEFORE anyone and the internet that showe... | |
| Power Amp-Cross Over-Subwoofer I have good luck with Paradigm X-30 elec. crossover, about $175 new or $120 used. | |
| Which is best sub for N802 in fairly large room? I already bi-wired the N802 coming from the Nak. My X30 crossover is at 40Hz before goind to the bass amp then to the 2 acoustic suspended NHT 12" tubular subs (hipass @ 50Hz going to main Nak). My suspicion lie with the ported design of the Nauti... |
