| Tube pre, SS amp incompatibility, which amp 2 use? I think I just answered your other post. Basically, I asked you for more info on your system. I see that you provide it here. The DNA 1 is a pretty straightforward amp. It should work with just about anything out there. If you have a preamp that i... | |
| Mackie 824's When you say add to your 824's, I assume you mean add the 15 inch bin to your system. Of course you can. | |
| Which SS amp with the Jolida Music Envoy? Can you explain what you mean when you say not compatible? | |
| Classe' CAP-151,are there reliability issues? I had a Classe preamp that had to go back to Canada 2x for warranty. I bought it new and the unit was not that old when I had problems with it. Classe makes some good sounding products, but nothing that you can't get from another brand. I would ju... | |
| VPI Scout Question Don't get B stock anything. Unless the price has gone up on the Scout, you should be able to get it with a 10x5 for what you are looking to spend. Another option you may want to consider is getting a Dynavector 20 low output version and a Dynavect... | |

| what dimensions for a 12 sb cr77 subwoofer? If it were that easy, everyone would make their own. Companies put years of R & D into developing these type of things. Theres no way that you will be able to build anything that even comes close to a professional design. Something tells me yo... | |
| Best AV receiver to use as an AV pre amp I wouldn't do it. You need a really good preamp for stereo. There's no way around it. Not only would I not use the preamp section of a receiver, I wouldn't use a HT preamp as well. I've tried it before and they just don't sound that good for music... | |
| New amp for B&W 803s - Classe or Mac or ??? I didn't mean to be too direct and to the point, but if you haven't guessed, B&W is somewhat of a sore spot with me. I could barely stay seated while reading your post. I tried everything with those speakers. The upside is, I leaned more about... | |
| New amp for B&W 803s - Classe or Mac or ??? There's only one way you can fix your problem. And that is to get rid of your 803's. I'm not guessing on this. I know from experience. There's just no fixing that aluminium tweeter. If you try to find components that will be used as an EQ, plan on... | |
| Beware of 'Ghost Switching' I can think of 2 things. 1. If your remote is RF, other remotes can effect it. You don't have to have line of sight. That said, I'm pretty sure CJ doesn't use RF. 2. This is definitely a long shot, but it is possible. If you have an IR remote, its... | |
| Brand Longevity Taters,Thanks for the clarification. I agree 100%. You make an excellent point.Donjr,Going by your posts, it looks like you didn't like the Ayre 7 integrated. I'm a big Ayre fan myself and know their products well. You should absolutely demo the 5... | |
| Bookshelf speakers for $500 "Are loud and accurate mutually exclusive? Accuracy is definitely more important"As funny as it sounds, thats really a subjective matter. Even the best audio systems are so far from accurately reproducing the live event, it seems like we will wait... | |
| Converting FLAC to WAV and keeping tags? Ivan,I wasn't trying to push that info on you in any way, I was just going by what seems to me, is popular opinion. Nothing more. I also forgot to mention one other format. Apple lossless. A lot of people seem to really like that one as well. If y... | |
| Converting FLAC to WAV and keeping tags? No offence at all to Ivan, but I think that Doggiehowser is right on that. Most people who do hear a difference like WAV better. I'm not saying they are right, but that its just seems to be popular opinion. For myself, I haven't done enough seriou... |
