| Replacing Emotiva XPA-2 & XPA-5 power amps in HT system with class D @213runninJust watched out first full movie with the Nuforce tonight, Smokin Aces 2, which has one heck of a lot of gunshot and explosive special effects and VERY IMPRESSED.To say the Nuforce is ONLY rated at 150w per channel I felt the sheer forc... | |
| Replacing Emotiva XPA-2 & XPA-5 power amps in HT system with class D @noble100 I was ready to buy the d-sonic but at the price that i bought the mca20 at it was a deal I could not turn down. I could have easily sold it for at least the same price if not a profit if it did not work out but for my purpose and applic... | |
| Replacing Emotiva XPA-2 & XPA-5 power amps in HT system with class D @213runninOf course there are plenty of good class d amps out there and i was ready to pull the trigger on a d-sonic product albeit at a cost of $3400.Then i happened across an ad for a open box nuforce mca20 at well under half that price, read a ... | |
| Replacing Emotiva XPA-2 & XPA-5 power amps in HT system with class D Bought a NU-FORCE 8 channel class d amp and replaced the two Emotiva tanks total about 160lb weight with the one slimline box of approx 30lb.Could I hear a difference?Yes, the nuforce actually sounds a lot cleaner than the emotivas especially on m... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? I have no doubt that much more expensive cables with the correct much more expensive construction( silver etc) could actually represent an improvement in the right system to the right ears and would never knock ANYBODY for paying for them and bein... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? so i guess the Anticables ref 2 wire at 5ppm impurity must be bad stuff then.Guess thats why its only $6 a footOh and won more absolute sounds editors choice awards that I can countAnd has a 30 day money back guaranteeMy order is in........ | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Does it truly matter if it was a bogus original post?There have been some interesting comments and points made all the same.And of course you are going to get 50 different ways to paint black! No two peoples ears are the same and audio is a very p... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Some of this boils down to purely financial sensible choices.NOBODY is going to spend 5k on speaker cables for 4k speakers....at least I hope not!I feel the whole question can be a little irrelevant until you are at a mega bucks system level to st... | |
| To Pre or not to Pre? Here is my take Well nearly as good as buying a new pre and all just $35Installed the Golden Lion tube today ( nice my pre only has one tube!)To start it was awful but as the tube "broke in" somewhat the music unfolded and what music.Very familiar tracks took on ... | |
| Power cord replacement suggestions @lak Thank youI am certainly not against trying out some PC but just did not like the idea of throwing money after hard earned money away for possibly very little return.Before the esoteric i had a krell player and i thought the krell was superb, ... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Glad you have been illuminated 2channel8 with a very good new best word.....lol.Seriously though my cables probably total $500 for all speaker and interconnects against close to $20k equipment. Really find it hard to bring myself to spend more esp... | |
| Power cord replacement suggestions Just musing out loud here but hope some worthwhile thoughts.At what stage do you consider it is worth your time and money to invest in upgraded PC?I mean there has to be at least a certain level of quality to your system to start with for them to ... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? These threads can be most entertaining for sure so at risk of upsetting EVERYBODY I am just going to throw this out there.Surely there are only so many ways you can make a piece of cable whose sole purpose is to transmit signals from A to B?Surely... | |
