| Emotiva MC-700 audio imaging @rasiahm - which model Bryston amplifiers are you using? | |
| Emotiva MC-700 audio imaging The new MC-700 is not going to be any better than the previous generation UMC-200. The architecture/design is basically the same. The only difference being that the MC-700 supports 4K HDR video. They both appear to have a smallish switching pow... | |
| Best DAC / Budget Many have commented that Denafrips DACs have a more dense and analog sound. I suppose it all depends what kind of sound you want. | |
| PASSIVE SUBWOOFER DRIVEN by a 2 CHANNEL PRE-AMP + MONOBLOCK ? Yes, you can adjust the "trim" of the subwoofer output in the HT Processor. I have never had any problems with some movies having bass/LFE mastered too loud, but if you wanted to put a preamp in the middle, it won't hurt anything.Also, be aware t... | |
| PASSIVE SUBWOOFER DRIVEN by a 2 CHANNEL PRE-AMP + MONOBLOCK ? No, it will not hurt your preamp if you only use one channel. However, I don't think you need to use a preamp. The subwoofer output on your HT Processor should already volume controlled (just like all the other channels on the HT Processor outpu... | |
| PC Audio Interface Question: I was almost going to say "Headphone DAC/Preamp" until I got to your microphone requirement. For that you definitely need an "audio interface". Don't worry about the descriptions saying "it's for recording". As soon as you have a microphone req... | |
| Speakers for Computer It really depends on how much you want to spend and how good you want audio. You can get some pretty decent computer speakers that connect using a USB cable. Most of these are designed as plug-and-play for either Windows or Mac OS and do not nee... | |
| Please help. Why would higher power amp require gain? Marantz/Adcom I don't know about the Marantz, but most receivers have one main shared power supply (for both the amp section and the preamp section). The preamp power is just regulated from the main power supply section. Putting an amp on the rear channels do... | |
| I'm new and need help Millercarbon does the same copy/paste paragraph on pretty much every new Home Theater thread just like a crusade without really listening to what the OP is asking. Kind of gets so old that sometimes I don't reply.The Yamaha HTR-5830 that the OP r... | |
| Artnovion corner bass traps - anybody know if any good? do a search on this forum for "bass nulls" and "acoustic treatment". You can also google for this. The information and explanation is out there. | |
| Would adding a separate 3 channel help in this situation @numcwrt2 - Marantz receivers has the dynamic range compression feature as well. If you go into the setup menu, it is under Settings => Audio => Surround Paramater => Dynamic Compression.You should play with the Low / Medium / High setti... | |
| Would adding a separate 3 channel help in this situation Ah, Erik, that's an excellent suggestion. I forgot about that. Looking at manual, the Anthem has a "DYN" button on the remote. Just hit the DYN button twice, then you can choose between 3 dynamic range settings: NORMAL: No dynamic range modifi... | |
| Artnovion corner bass traps - anybody know if any good? Oh, I figured out that the larger Artnovion "sub traps" are very expensive at about $2,200 each. That would be $4.2k for a pair. They are 2.5 x 3 feet (which is larger than GIK), but a heck of a lot more expensive. They do have a reflective dif... | |
| Artnovion corner bass traps - anybody know if any good? That's a bummer. Sorry. There are other tuned membrane/pistonic bass traps available, but I haven't worked with them. The Artnovion might be your best bet, but not sure. Are you looking at the Sub Trap or one of the normal bass traps? The Sub... | |
| Would adding a separate 3 channel help in this situation The answer is "It depends". I don't know that playing at a lower volume will necessarily give you better clarity. A better amp could possibly give you this, but the Anthem receivers are generally very clean and bright sounding anyways.It could a... |
