| Ampli 7.1 or stereo? NAD does mfr pretty musical AVR's but most likely, a good 2-channel integrated will sound better. I think there is a used NAD C375BEE for sale here on Audiogon that is within your budget.http://app.audiogon.com/listings/solid-state-nad-375-bee-150... | |
| Need help w/determining compression/dynamic range Kewadinbob,I don't know about DVD's but this sight is great for CD's/LP's and downloads.http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/list?artist=steely+Dan&album=AjaJust plug in artist/band name or album name.Bill | |
| Best Cd Player under $500.00 Used OR New While not often found on the used market under $500.00, the Cambridge Audio 840C is a wonderful player and DAC that sometimes pops up under $600.00.With that said, you can get a refurbished NAD C546BEE for under $400.00. I own a NAD C542 player th... | |
| CD Player: Digital-in that passes to digital-out The CA 840C has "pass through" also. I use this mode when I don't want any internal upsampling.Bill | |
| Onkyo 805 as preamp pro. Not getting db Some Adcom amps have individual channel gain knobs, maybe they are set too low.Bill | |
| A DAC into a DAC? What brand and model pre/pro are we talking and the same for the outboard DAC?If you have a superior outboard DAC, it will convert to analog and then enter your pre/pro. If the analog stage of the pre/pro is of low quality, then it may hamper the ... | |
| Best sounding and reliable CD changer? Take a look around for a used Adcon GCD-700, wonderful sounding and appears to be built well. The carousel can be a little noisy when rotating though.The Onkyo C390 is also a good suggestion and of course the equivalent Integra model.Bill | |
| Oppo 105 Analog vs HDMI? Well, maybe your Marantz 8801 has something to do with that. I have heard/read that it is an outstanding performer for HT, 2-channel audio, and multichannel audio. A flagship prepro probably has been built with flagship components from top to bott... | |
| Concert Videos I just picked up a Cambridge Audio 751BD universal player and it is wonderful for BD and DVD concerts. Video is second to none and multichannel audio is a surprising improvement over my Oppo 83 even with a digital HDMI connection. The Oppo 83 is a... | |
| Is this amp worth selling? Either of the previous suggestions are good ones. The Aragon 8008BB is a fantastic amp and for someone with some tech ability it should be a nice project to tackle and possibly not much $$$ out of pocket. With the exception of the Aragon Palladium... | |
| Amp for klipsch KG4 01-07-14: PehareAny of the older Luxman SS integrateds will do fine. I used to run a L-430 with mine back in the early 80's.Or even any of the Luxman stereo receivers of the late 80's early 90's. The R-113, R-114, or R-115 would all sound great. A... | |
| USB DAC or CDP for $200? I second the Marantz NA7004.Bill | |
| The effect of source and external "double DACs"? Don't you guys love it when a poster asks a question and gets multiple responses but never follows up with a thank you or even another question?Maybe they propose the question on multiple forums and get their answer elsewhere?Bill | |
| Klipsch Chorus II or Forte II - Secondary system 01-02-14: Shakeydeal"Thanks Will. Are those Fortes in your system pics? They look small in that room."LOL. Actually they are Quartets and I sold them last summer to a Klipsch forum member in Indiana. I loved them especially the "tiger stripes"(saw... | |
| Klipsch Chorus II or Forte II - Secondary system 01-01-14: Shakeydeal"They image and soundstage as well as any speaker I have owned. And set them up right and they disappear better than any large speaker should."Again, Shakey is spot on with his assessment. The Cornscala can defy logic. Set up p... |
