| Good bookshelf speaker? I had one of those amps myself. My recommendation would be to stay away from anything bright sounding and/or with a metal tweeter. Looking at your list, I would probably say the ProAc is the best match. | |
| Interconnect cable, $150 max For headphone setup I would try to find a good used pair of AQ Jaguar. They go with just about anything. Also, its almost identical to the cable that replaced it; Columbia. | |
| Speakers vs. headphones "The one thing I think I've decided is that the Mites might not be my cup of tea, or at least not in that room. Can you recommend a sub-$1,000 pair of monitors that will dance well with the NAD 326?"I was going to suggest that you just may like yo... | |
| Electrocompanient EMP-2 vs. Oppo BDP-103 "Wouldn't surprise me if the new Cambridge equals the Electrocompanient EMP-2. As far as sub $1000 player's, the Oppo BDP-103 has no rivals."I don't mean to start an argument but unless you've actually listened to not only the Cambridge, but all t... | |
| Cables more hype than value? I think I see the problem here. I may actually be able to settle this whole debate. (Although I wouldn't bet on that.)High end audio is a hobby/interest. Like any such activity there are all levels of knowledge an skill. Generally speaking, really... | |
| DOES YOUR EQUIPMENT KEEP GOING? Did anyone get a good look at what they put inside that machine? I didn't understand what they were saying and I couldn't quite make out what it was in the video. It didn't look like it was very big and heavy though. I was up all night thinking ab... | |
| Electrocompanient EMP-2 vs. Oppo BDP-103 Audiozen,After reading your 2nd post, I see what you are talking about. I wasn't clear on the fact that you were talking about 2 different boards in the same machine.Buconero117,"By now you have discovered that life is all about 'packaging' and 'm... | |
| Need cool running integrated under $1500 new/used I had the 802's. They sound very similar to your 803's.If you are already listening to them with the Cambridge and don't have any issues with the tweeter, I would recommend a class D integrated. They run very cool. The preamp section usually runs ... | |
| A thought experiment If you take the analog output from your dac and then convert it back to digital for room correction, its like bypassing your dac. Because you converted the signal to analog with the dac first, it will have some effect on SQ, but the dac in your ro... | |
| DOES YOUR EQUIPMENT KEEP GOING? I bet that's Rok2id's system. I told him not to use cheap power cords. | |
| Electrocompanient EMP-2 vs. Oppo BDP-103 I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. Are both the transports and boards exactly the same?"EMP-2 Univeral Blu Ray player that its using the exact same high quality power board and transport thats inside the $500.00 Oppo BDP-103""The proce... | |
| In Walls I don't claim to be an expert on in wall speakers but since you don't have any luck getting responses, this is how I would do it. Plenty of well respected speaker manufacturers offer in wall speakers. If you are a fan of B&w, for example, why ... | |
| Next step after Benchmark DAC1 If you just need USB because you are using a computer and given the sound you are looking for I think you would like an Ayre QB-9. You'll save a lot of money and shouldn't have too much trouble finding one. | |
| Best speaker for the Spectral DMA 360 series 2 amp Of the speakers you mention, the Aerial is probably the most bass heavy. That may be the best match for your room. For your amp, though, you may want to consider some other options. Here's a few things that may work well with your amp and your roo... | |
| MULTI-CH SACD'S on 2CH SOUND STRANGE? Sorry about that. I guess I don't see bold print very well. |
