| Best Budget RCA cables Ah, in response to your question, I would say that there would be a definite difference. The Kabeldirekt may look very nice and even use OFC oxygen free copper, but they are likely using a very thin stranded conductor.The Kimber cables have their... | |
| Best Budget RCA cables If the spearitsound.com doesn't work out, you could look at Blue Jeans Cables. They have pretty good options for under $50. Another option is to look at the Pangea or Audioquest cables at Audio Advisor. They are both solid-core, which is much b... | |
| Keep B&K 507 or Onkyo NR905 OLD receiver advice If you love the B&K sound, one thought is to buy one of the B&K multi-channel amps and use the "pre-outs" on your Onkyo receiver. There's a 7-channel 200.7 on audiogon for $1199. There is also a 5-channel 200.5 on ebay for $875. Just be... | |
| Parasound Halo Integrated. I do not know of any audiophile level "integrated amp" that supports streaming. If you really want an all-in-one unit, you'll have to look at some of the home theater receivers, such as Marantz, Anthem, etc. However, you will not get the sound q... | |
| Anthem 225 vs Parasound A21 vs Emotiva Xpa 7 Gen 2 @jl35 - what are your source and preamp? A significant factor of amp choice is system synergy with your components. Your Khartago might work better then the A21 in a specific situation. However, remember that the OP is going to drive the amp direc... | |
| Anthem 225 vs Parasound A21 vs Emotiva Xpa 7 Gen 2 Oh, just re-reading and saw your alternatives. My comments:Cambridge Azure 851 - Cambridge is known for being lightning fast and extremely transparent/resolution. I would not pair this directly with the Oppo, but it may be a good amp if I had a tu... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? @jetter - hah I got your binary joke! Did anyone else? Though, I think you mean 11 people, right? You forgot the reference for "0". | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? @geoffkait - I totally understand and agree. I have read other posts in other threads from this particular user and I am constantly asking myself "what the @#$#$ is he talking about?!?!". Hence my assumption that this is just a troll looking to i... | |
| Anthem 225 vs Parasound A21 vs Emotiva Xpa 7 Gen 2 Yep, I would definitely go with the Parasound A21 if you can swing it. I have heard the Oppo player when it is connected directly to an Emotiva amp. It is nice, but it is kind of dry. You definitely need the Class A bias of the Parasound to hel... | |
| Anthem 225 vs Parasound A21 vs Emotiva Xpa 7 Gen 2 What is your SACD and preamp? First thought would be to recommend the Parasound A21. Don’t get the A23 unless you’re budget cannot afford the A21. The Parasound will use better internal components (capacitors, etc.) than the Emotiva. The Parasound... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Yes, it's signed. That means the values don't actually represent 0 to 65,536. The values represent -32768 to +32767. This represents the waveform on both the positive side as well as the negative side the waveform (mid point representing 0 volt... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Couple extra comments:My description of how the power supply works is not 100% completely correct. However, it was meant to give a "general idea" to those who don’t know.Any sort of DC in a waveform is not good. The preamp and amplifier will still... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Thank you @almarg. I was going to comment as I can accept disagreements, but I cannot accept false statement about what I say.That being said, I also have experienced the 2-3db effect when changing fuses or power cords or op amps. I'm going out ... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Yup, you just have to adjust yourself to ignore any of the trolls or users who just want to go negative. | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Wow, this thread went to a black hole in a hurry! Several things we need to be aware of:- If you have looked inside a fuse (like the glass fuses), you will see a VERY thin wire. Say a 1 amp fuse. The internal wire is extremely small, something lik... |
