| Anthem or Emotiva I am assuming you mean the Emotiva XMC-1 (the XPS-1 is a phono preamp).Based on those two choices, I would go with Anthem AVM-60. It is going to have much better sound quality and resolution. Anthem uses a true linear power supply.Emotiva uses a... | |
| AV Pre/Processor vs 2 Channel Pre-Amp - Sound Quality I think both the Parasound Integrated and the Classe 2200i could be potential solutions. The Classe is going to have a superior DAC/preamp stage. Much more resolution / attack / detail. However, the amp part is Class D, which does has it's own ... | |
| New Dolby Atmos processor. Poor sound quality bi0drain is trying to indicate that if your bass management in ACT 4 is not configured properly (i.e. subwoofer not loud enough or improperly configured), then the sound could be thin/weak and without punch/power. However, I think that is complet... | |
| NEEDED!!! Bi Amp Pros out there that can give me some advice I agree on what cleeds said. Also, like joe said, your different amplifiers will likely have different gain, which requires you to have some sort of ability to detune the level of one amplifier (either using a passive preamp or active crossover, s... | |
| New Dolby Atmos processor. Poor sound quality can someone explain to me why whenver I ran any sort of EQ, it just made my listening sweet spot smaller, and the bass really messed up if you stood up? sort of like it applied some kind of effect where the bass was really loud as if my head was a... | |
| AV Pre/Processor vs 2 Channel Pre-Amp - Sound Quality If you are looking at the Parasound preamps, I did mention that the P7 is the best sound quality. The P7 only has the ability to set your subwoofer crossover at either 50hz or 80hz in the menu setup (which I think should work just fine for you). ... | |
| Replacing fuse Another comment. I do not know anyone who will accept a return of a used fuse, except for two: Synergistic BLACK and Synergistic BLUE. Anything else you buy is a non-returnable item. | |
| Replacing fuse @falconquest - in response to bumped up fuses. I did say "generally speaking" and also said "there is a point where it doesn't make much difference". I have heard definitely improvements on bumping up a 1A fuse to a 2A fuse in a preamp. Heck, I... | |
| AV Pre/Processor vs 2 Channel Pre-Amp - Sound Quality Oh, for integrated amp that has HT bypass. The idea of an "HT bypass" is to completely bypass anything in the preamp, including any tone management or crossover. The unit will typically connect the input wiring directly to the output wiring and ... | |
| AV Pre/Processor vs 2 Channel Pre-Amp - Sound Quality A comment on your desired configuration. If you are intending to run RCA/XLR to the subwoofer first, then take the high-pass output and connect it to your amazing 2-channel amp for bookshelves, you will probably not get any benefit from a dedicat... | |
| New Dolby Atmos processor. Poor sound quality bright/harsh can definitely be a characteristic of new equipment. After burn-in it should settle down a lot. | |
| New Dolby Atmos processor. Poor sound quality Hi zzrider - that ACT 4 is so new that I don't think anyone here has direct experience with it. I was also asked about this processor by a friend and I could not comment on it. There aren't any "internal pics" on the net to show us how Acurus ha... | |
| Theta Cassablanca 3 setup related question and request for input Let us know what you think. Changing processors can be expensive. If you are buying from Craig Shumer from Theatermax, he does not offer returns, so you'd have to try to sell it on your own if it doesn't work out. But, he does offer his own ful... | |
| Hegel internal Dac - USB or Coax or ditch the DAC altogether? Exploration on a budget! I would probably vote for a USB-to-SPDIF converter. If you just get a USB/USB reclocker (which is great), you are still relying on two USB receivers (one in the reclocker and second in the target DAC). The USB receiver in the DAC still needs to ... | |
| New Dolby Atmos processor. Poor sound quality I agree. There's not much we can do if you don't disclose the name of the processor. HT Processors nowadays are usually somewhat complex to setup. The EQ function can be challenging to work with. It sound like the unit has a fully parametric E... |
