| Silverline Sonata or ? Comparable to what I heard I have the Sonata II and auditioned the JMlabs 936, Von Schweikert VR4Jr, and Tyler Taylo III during my selection. The Sonatas seemed to match my system and room the best. The V4jrs were warmer, JMlabs were more dynamic (2nd choice), and the Tyler... | |
| Which components knocked you out on first listen? I had a Classe 400 that Was doing a fine job, until I sat this little Acoustic reality ICE amp down next to it. Way more open on both extremes, much better bass, and a much cleaner sound without being digital. I could not believe all that from 12 ... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 HELP I am having the problem of the input being to high as well. It is optical out of a Philips DVD player. I had to turn the Gain Offset in the Utility page down to -10 before the clip was not going off all the time. Is there a way to adjust the input... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 HELP I am having the "Noise to Ambient Ratio Too Low, Turn up Pink Noise Level" message when running the auto-eq. I have the level between -20 and -15, which is really loud when the pink noise is being analyzed. When I turn it up past the -10 level, it... | |
| Sacramento, California You guys should start a club. I live in Reno, originally from NY where clubs are active, and would come over. If I lived there I would host the first one, but sadly I don't think any CA people want to go this far, accept to buy houses-land.Let me ... | |
| Bel Canto, Nuforce, Acoustic Reality, Channel Is. Thanks guys. I did have a Bat VK3i while the Wadia was in place, and the amount of bottom end lost with the BAT was unacceptable. The Wadia literally sounded like being in the room, while partnered with the BAT was like being in the room next to t... | |
| DVD player with remote volume The EAD DVD MASTER 8000 and 8000pro have the volume control. All balanced and single ended outputs on all channels as well. Nice faceplate, too. I might know where you can get one, if you like. Boehlen electronics is upgrading and servicing these ... | |
| Value Powerhouse SS amp Try the Carver Pro amps that are out there. They can be seen on Agon occasionally. I have the 1600 mono into Mirage M3 first, and now VMPS ST2. The bass has much greater control and presence than the Classe 400 I had previous, and of course sounds... | |
| Power amp upgrades for Mirage, M3si speakers I have a pair of M3 that I drive with 1 of the new Carver Pro 1600 and it does things for them that my Classe 400 could not do. Bass, clarity, power are all improved along with dynamics and overall volume. | |
| Best DAC with Volume Control? Agreeing with the Uther recommendation and also adding that the guys at Camelot have a gain modification that will add more pre-output for greater control for about $200. I sent mine back and am waiting to hear what it does. I also love the fact t... | |
| In search of Power Amp replacement I agree with Eldartford on the Carver. I just sold my Classe 400 because the Carver gave me more bass, dynamics, details, and volume from my old Mirage M3 that were always difficult to make do the above things. I am getting another as the money I ... | |
| Best Digital Amps I recently bought a Carver 1600 and sold my Classe 400 after hearing more bass, dynamics, volume, and details out of my Mirage m3 (86db) which were always hard to drive. In fact, I am buying another 1600 as I got more than enough from the Classe t... | |
| Comparing digital amps I also bought a Carver 1600 for under $800, and sold my Classe 400 after hearing more bass, dynamics, openness, and volume from my 86db Mirage m3. They have an adjustable input so you can use a pre that has from only 2 volts to as much as 30 volts... | |
| Carver Pro ZR1600 I tried 1 of the 1600 amps with my 16 year old Mirage m3 (86db) and it sounded more open, alive, more bass, and played louder than my Classe 400. I immediately sold the Classe and ordered another 1600. Both of the new 1600s cost less than what I g... | |
| Best DAC with Volume Control? The Camelot Uther Mark 3 (20 bit) and 4(24bit) are also worth mentioning. They come stock with a 100 step voluime control and output of 6 volts, and can be upgraded to a higher output voltage from the guys at Camelot. |
