| laid back stereo power amp i do not agree with auxinput’s characterization of odyssey amps being bright I did not say Odyssey amps were bright at all. Odyssey amps are very neutral, but very fast and high resolution. The OP was specifically asking for "laid back" amps a... | |
| Buying used Sherbourn 7/2100a x 2 for 14 channels or saving up to buy new Emotiva xpa-7’s? One of the challenges with the Emotiva Gen 3 amps is their switching power supply. After working with the Gen 3 amps in depth, I would rather look at other amps that use linear power supply.While the Sherbourn is very old, it is likely going to h... | |
| Digital XLR vs Digital RCA I disagree from experience. The quality of the digital cable, amount and quality of silver content, has dramatic affect in sound quality. Agreed. b4icu's statement is so very common from engineers who are only interested in measurement on sco... | |
| laid back stereo power amp I would not recommend Odyssey amps. They are not laid back at all. Also, do not by Emotiva if you want something laid back. They are all very fast and very bright (harsh in some instances).For laid back, I second the recommendation for ARC (Au... | |
| Best options for active speakers $4k or below? I'm running a set of highly modified Yamaha HS-80M monitors on my computer audio system. I have tested these in my home theater system and they actually are very respectable for a far field monitor, so don't necessarily think that all studio moni... | |
| Best options for active speakers $4k or below? Adam S2V if you want something with better high frequency response. | |
| Splitting HDMI? I have a friend who went through a few different HDMI splitter devices. They are not all made the same. He finally ended up with a Gefen, which was more expensive but it ended up working the best. The other splitters had signal problems as well... | |
| Digital Linear Power Supply I've had excellent results from TeraDak and Zerozone power supplies on ebay, such as this one:https://www.ebay.com/itm/TeraDak-DC12V-3A-power-source-PSU-Linear-Power-Supply/322540321743?hash=ite...Some of them actually use really good components. | |
| Suggestions for replacement for my old Nuforce AVP-18 surround sound processor You indicated that you have a 4K HD television. If you want to be able to streaming 4K content and sources, you will need that HDMI 2.0 support in a processor.The alternative is to connect your source directly to the television, but then you have... | |
| Suggestions for replacement for my old Nuforce AVP-18 surround sound processor Be aware that Integra 80.3 is 8 years old and does not support HDMI 2.0 and 4K HDR. | |
| Mic for recording sound demos ? A while back I did some research on some lower cost microphones that had really good sound and response. I ended up getting a matched pair of Rhode M5 mics, which worked really well. They are well regarded by musicians for general recording. By... | |
| review my list please You want a preamp with "HT bypass" mode. The preamp would be connected between the Marantz 8805 and left/right chanels of the McIntosh 8207 amp. When you switch the preamp to the bypass input, it essentially connects the 8805 directly to the amp... | |
| Projector comparisons My information is about 10 years old and I've been out of the market for a long time, but I did a real close analysis back then. The two big players were JVC and Sony. DLP was made by several manufacturers, but had problems because of the spinni... | |
| Krell K 300i Vs Hegel 390 Help The new Krell K300i is probably somewhat similar to the Vanguard integrated. The Vanguard is part of the first Solo/Duo/Trio/Chorus line of amps. These are also voiced on the lush/smooth side.The older S-300i integrated is part of the Evolution ... | |
