| Replacing mid-80s Denon amp and preamp with new Parasound equipment Not certain overall of the Denon over the Parasound except definitely better low impedance driving capabilities. I had the 2125 for a while and it was quite the "budget" amp with loads of juice. I had the Denon PRA-1500/POA-1500 combo driving a p... | |
| Is there a Blu-Ray player that does SACD and has Audiophile quality sound? Yes the 105 and the Cambridge Audio 751BD and 752BD.Bill | |
| OPPO BDP 103/105, sound quality??? Yes to the Oppo 105 but also to the Cambridge Audio 752BD. Same Mediatek(OEM supplier) chipset as the Oppo and not a rebranded Oppo.I have the previous generation 751BD and am very happy with the build quality and performance.Bill | |
| Potential New Pre Funny you say that. I currently have an NAD T175HD that I am very pleased with but if it ever takes a dump, the Yamaha CX-A5000(CX-A5100) and the Anthem AVM60 are the two I would be considering as a replacement. Base on the success and reputatio... | |
| Your picks of mediocre or lousy vocals with great musicians! "Jim Morrison? Wait a minute! Aren't rock vocalist SUPPOSED to be lousy?"Tell Paul Rodgers that.Bill | |
| HT help! Budget 10k I would not mix B&W's with Klipsch. IMO, all Klipsch or all B&W for seamless timbre matching. Of course subwoofers are exempt from that rule. I don't know much(nothing) about your Audiofile 830's but I do know that your Klipsch RC-52 is... | |
| HT help! Budget 10k "I have thought about going with the Klipsch RF II orginally, but there seems to be a following that hates horn."Yes there is but there is also a following that hates solid state amplification but that does not deter many from buying them. You kn... | |
| HT help! Budget 10k That is a pretty good size room(5000 to 6200ft3 +) and larger/dynamic speakers may be in order. Klipsch speakers are dynamic and efficient and I would not vote against them in your room. I think a full Klipsch RF-7II setup(RF-7IIs, RC-64II, RS-6... | |
| Need a processor and matching amp for about $1k If I am not mistaken, the NAD AVRs(T765HD, 775HD, 785HD) of the generation as the T175HD all have the same preamp section which should equate to the same sound quality. The T757 is of a slightly newer generation but it falls under the T765HD and h... | |
| Need a processor and matching amp for about $1k With my NAD pre/pro, I have my mains set to 50Hz, center to 60Hz, and surrounds set to 80Hz. I would think NAD's AVRs of the same generation would have the same capabilities. The NADs have a great feature right on the remote to boost/lower surro... | |
| Need a processor and matching amp for about $1k Refurbished can have many meanings. 1)Returned, deemed defective and repaired and then sold as refurb.2)Returned not wanted(for any reason) and then sold as refurb.3)Cosmetic flaw, returned and then sold as refurb.4)Damaged during shipping, repai... | |
| Need a processor and matching amp for about $1k I am very happy with my NAD T175HD pre/pro. Found here on Audiogon from Spearit Sound for $899.00 refurbished. Not "latest and greatest" Atmos capable but very musical(for a pre/pro) and Audyssey MultEQ XT.https://www.audiogon.com/listings/process... | |
| Need a processor and matching amp for about $1k You are right about the KLF-20 being dynamic. They are beasts that play loud and clear. I have been using an NAD pre-pro/Acurus amps combo to drive my Klipsch RF-63 system and the combination is wonderful. The 63's are probably not quite as rev... | |
| Oppo BD-103, Youtube feature no longer works Yes contact Oppo directly by phone or email. Customer service is fantastic.Bill |
