| Review: Anthem 225 Integrated Amplifier I understand comments like "destroys" can be a very subjective term but @kevmorse is correct with the build quality and refinement of these analog Yamaha integrateds. I own the the A-S1000 and could not be more pleased with it's performance, buil... | |
| Old Ampfiliers with new Processors Go for it. There are plenty of high quality "vintage" or just older amps that will work just fine with modern processors. Just make sure the amp/amps you choose are in proper operating condition. I have owned at least 30 outboard amplifiers and... | |

| Acurus A150 v. Bryston 4b Both will drive your Maggies pretty well. If only a stop gap amp, get the one that offers the most bang for your buck.Bill | |
| Klipsch subwoofers...Any good? I have not heard any of the current offerings but do own one of their Reference IV models RSW-10d and it is a wonderfully musical, fast, and "accurate" subwoofer. The same can be said about the Reference II/III versions RSW10, RSW12, and RSW15. ... | |
| Is it a problem to have a DAC feeding a DAC? I totally agree with @1extreme 's suggestion of the Chromecast Audio. It really is a great performer especially at it's very low price. While it does sound pretty darn good using it's own built in DAC, sound quality will improve if you feed a di... | |
| A CD/SACD player to beat Oppo 105D at similar price range? "Any CD player without audio streaming capability and USB DAC is not worth to buy."@junzhang10 ,What does that statement mean? Of course the Oppo 105 is a great "jack of all trades" piece but to to make such a bold statement about dedicated CD/SA... | |
| How does Yamaha CD S2000 reproduce super audio? I forgot to mention that I am using the matching A-S1000 integrated amp with my CD-S1000 player which may explain the synergy and sound quality.Bill | |
| How does Yamaha CD S2000 reproduce super audio? I find just the opposite with my CD-S1000. I own two other SACD/universal players(CA 751BD, Integra DPS-10.5) and the Yamaha is the best sounding of the bunch. I pop in Elton John's GYBR SACD and it is just plain magical through the Yamaha playe... | |
| Onkyo C-7070 Reference CD Player: Are these any good? What are they similar to? I have never heard the 7070 but have used one of their recent multidisc players and it sounded pretty good for what it was. The 7070 should perform pretty well and is built pretty well from what I can tell.Bill | |
| New Yamaha a-s3000 and a-s2100 integrated amps ?? @honeybee2012 " I have the A S2000 and the matching C S2000 SACD PLayer. Both are built like a tank and sound great. I use these daily and can report no issues."The same can be said of my A-S1000/CD-S1000. Great build and heft and so far troub... | |
| Samsung buys Harman for $8B " What sucks is their overall ineptitude where customer service is concerned, as evidenced by numerous factors including, but not limited to, egregious instances of "confirmation" emails with fictitious "reference" numbers. They use many "lets ha... | |
| Multi channel AMP for Home Theater @faresd,I sure don't think you will lose out at all if you bought either the Anthem MCA or the Parasound Halo. Now which amp will match better with your Tritons, I don't know. I do know that Anthem builds nice amps from the PVA models up to the ... | |
| B&K amp differences From my experience, I would not say that the EX4420 was light in the bass but it sure did not have the bass drive that the Acurus A250 then A200 that I replaced it with.As far as the B&K's you mentioned, the EX442 will be similar in performanc... |
