| New Rega Apollo-R Once it gets broken in and you've had some time to listen to it, try it as a CD player. The DAC in your Rega is excellent. You may prefer it. | |
| Integra DPS 6.7 DVD and SACD player direct to 5.1 When you say you got it, does that mean you get it? Or did you get one? | |
| Interconnect Cables for Pre-and Power amp I had a pair of Sky that Cable Company lent me. I have very revealing equipment but I couldn't hear the difference between the 2. Here's what you get going from 36v Cheetah to Sky (Everything else is identical): 72v dbs, slightly different xlr con... | |
| Integra DPS 6.7 DVD and SACD player direct to 5.1 A preamp with a HT pass through would probably be the best way to go. | |
| Shunyata VX vs CX The VX may still be a good choice for some applications. They worked wonders for my friends all Meridian system. (It needed all the help it could get). | |
| New Rega Apollo-R Are you using the Rega with the DAC or by itself? | |

| Pairing problem with amp/speakers??? "Thanks. Any advice on the amp (brand and output) that I should replace the XPA with? Any help in the right direction is appreciated. I have about $1500- $2000 to invest in a new amp. Thanks again."If you want some good advice, it would be to stop... | |
| What do you use to check for brightness? If I did, point it out. I gave you an honest answer. Bright, is subjective. The best way for you to judge that, or any other character, of an audio system is to have a reference. We all have them. Get to know some records or CD's very well, and us... | |
| Interconnect Cables for Pre-and Power amp I believe I listed a few specific models. Any one of them should bring you in well under budget. You may want to consider another resource. For cables, I use The Cable Company. They have a demo program where they lend you a bunch of cables that yo... | |
