| Looking for $1500-2500$ speaker system You need to make up your mind if you want a 2 channel system or a theater before you go any further. If you go with a 2 channel system, you may be better off putting more money into the amp. Maybe step up to a better quality integrated. If you don... | |
| Buzz/hum through speakers Try it just on the preamp. | |
| warmer ? I'm not sure what headphones you have, but assuming they sound OK, I would consider a new headphone amp. Since I haven't heard your system, understand that I'm just guessing. But that is where I would look first. Also, there are many headphone amp... | |
| warmer ? What kind of preamp do you have? | |
| So I put some SilverStar fuses in my amp and.... Getting something from Cable Co is always a save way to go. They stand behind everything they sell. If you weren't happy with them, they would probably take them back no questions asked. (But its good you are happy with them.) | |
| Buy 4k projector or display now?...or stay 1080p? Don't blow $6,500 on some new TV. For that kind of money you can get a pretty good pair of cables. Not the best, but still... | |
| Upgrade help needed I wish I still had my 5350. I still haven't heard anything near that price that sounds as good. You'll be OK with the MA's. I had the 8's and they were a great match for the Creek. At the 6's price, MA does a very good job with the metal tweeter. ... | |
| Your top 3 worst purchases ever "Yeah it is still hooked up, but it is turned off, (rarely ever turned on actually), and since I have 3 dedicated circuits, (one for my preamps, and analog source; another for my amps, and lastly, one for my digital sources), I have never felt tha... | |
| Pink Floyd The Wall DTS 24 bit gold 2CD Its a fake. The labels on the CD's themselves look like something you can make on your computer. There's none of the usual writing on the CD's either; around the outside or inside edge. The albun sleeves look like computer printouts, as well.The o... | |
| Pink Floyd The Wall DTS 24 bit gold 2CD My best guess is that its fake. Someone with a really good analog setup could have done a vinyl rip and then just burned it to a CD. A good way to check is to play the CD through a decent pair of headphones and listen for surface noise during quie... | |
| VPI Scout cartridge compliance " I have been using a Shure M97xE that I had laying around (and it works amazingly well)"" Which is right? What do I want to accomplish here?"What's the next level up from amazingly well? | |
| Dac, Preamp or Dac/Pre You have to do some listening. The questions you are asking are, for the most part, subjective in nature. It takes people years to figure this type of stuff out. Everyone has different tastes. Most of the time, there is no better, or right way to ... | |
| Whats under your Berkeley Dac? Try putting a heavy book on top of it. Textbook, encyclopedia, that type of thing. See if it makes a difference. Also, if the transformer vibrates, like Cerrot says, make sure one of the cones is directly under wherever the transformer is. | |
| Cables more hype than value? Iblieve,So what you are saying is that if I buy a pair of B&W 805D's, its not because of how they sound, but about other things, like marketing and status? | |
| Advice for new Integrated amp please. Since you already have the Emotiva components, why not just keep them? If its an appearance issue, maybe you can hide the amps somewhere and run cables. All things being equal, more power never hurts. Personally, I really like the sound you get wh... |
