| Picking an amplifier Wow, that last link is some interesting stuff! I'm glad to have my statements substantiated. A couple quotes from that page that are interesting:"the TOSLINK interface of red led is not fast enough""That square directly from Toslink receiver is ... | |
| Picking an amplifier Ah you posted almost at the same time. A while back I did some research on toslink cables. The Audioquest diamond is extremely expensive. I don't know if it is really worth it. lol. Looking at the other top toslink cables I found:Lifatec - 47... | |
| Picking an amplifier Yeah, you would think that COAX and optical should sound exactly the same. Based on electrical engineer point of view, it should be the same and it's just data. But from an audiophile listening standpoint, the COAX will just sound better. The o... | |
| Amp recommendation and setup advice please Oh, mesch might have been recommending the Yamaha integrated for your TV system. So, looking at this:Yamaha 801 + ELAC B6 bookshelvesAudio GD NFB--11.28 + Emotiva Airmotiv 5s powered monitorsThe Yamaha/ELAC combination will have the ability to co... | |
| Picking an amplifier @shalmaneser – Thanks for responding with all that detail! If you want to stay with using your computer, that’s totally find. I can respect that. Though, I will say that I have been there with you. Many years ago, I used to run an HTPC for a... | |
| Amp recommendation and setup advice please If the sources for the TV will be satellite only, then you don't necessarily need an HDMI processor/receiver. Satellite will always be compressed dolby digital, so you can go old-school. Even if you add on DVD/bluray, old-school digital COAX i... | |
| DAC upgrade or Amplifier Guys, let's not get carried away with the chase for MQA. I'm sure the bitrate and quality of MQA is good, but it is not the entire story. You have to make sure your DAC and analog stages are good as well. If you can ensure the DAC/analog are up... | |
| Picking an amplifier Also, what software are you using to play music/movies? List all the software you use (for example, JRiver, PowerDVD, etc.) | |
| Picking an amplifier It looks like the Sonance was made by ATI for Sonance company. The older ATI amps tended to be very strong muscle in the bass, but tended to be somewhat bright. I have also heard that you need to turn on the volume pretty high before you get the... | |
| Picking an amplifier Heyo, these are all just ideas. You can always say "I don't want to do that", and that is totally okay.If you're looking for well produced recordings of live music, the "Hall & Oates: Live at the Troubadour" concert in bluray is very excellen... | |
| PADIS vs Furutech fuses I will add that the Furutech has a bit more vibrancy to the sound. Also, instruments hit with a bit more authority with the Furutech (more impact/attack muscle). | |
| Picking an amplifier By the way, I was not recommending pre/pros (before the last post). The Anthem MCA-50 is a 5 channel amplifier with decent current. | |
| Picking an amplifier Wow, that Sony DSP-EP9ES is a really interesting device. It's also really old and doesn't even support DTS (which is a major limitation in your ability to use media).I know you want to keep it until it dies, but at this point I would highly recom... | |
| Picking an amplifier @kalali - I couldn't find the Krell amp you're talking about. However, for $1600, you are probably looking at the older KAV stuff from the late 90's. This is the older D'Agostino stuff and was voiced warm. It also did not have the detail and at... | |
| Picking an amplifier I know it's over your budget, but there's an Anthem MCA-50 on audiogon for $1150. |
