| Emotiva RMC-1 or RMC-1L @soix - to be honest, I only had the XMC-1 in my system for a very short time (less than 2 weeks) and I did not do extensive testing and use. For the $2500 price tag, it was a good buy, but there are better alternatives for sound quality.@bacardi... | |
| Emotiva RMC-1 or RMC-1L soix is probably talking about their first processors (the UMC-1). Those has massive amounts of problems and bugs. The newer processors are better.I tested the XMC-1. It used switching power supply and some rather low speed (low slew rate) op a... | |
| cable retermination You should really be aware that several PS Audio power cords are not a standard design. Many of their models have different types and sizes of conductors, even rectangle and hollow conductors. It could be very difficult to chop/reterminate those ... | |
| asus stxII with sparkos discrete opamps The Xonar Essence STX is a 2-channel audio card, unless you have the model with the 6 channel extension card that has 6 RCA analog outputs. Do you have this extension card?That being said, the extension card really doesn't have good power supply ... | |
| In need of a new bluray player lost without oppo now what ? yup, millercarbon must has some sort of profit interest in Synergistic Research. | |
| 2.2 Channel System Processor Suggestions The Classe Sigma 2200i is a integrated amp with HDMI inputs and a subwoofer crossover. It has one subwoofer output, so you'd have to use a Y-splitter cable.Otherwise, you're looking at a full HT pre/pro. The Bryston SP3 and Krell Foundation are ... | |
| 2.2 Channel System Processor Suggestions jimmy225 is most likely asking because, like many other TV consumers, he is using a smart TV with Netflix/Spotify apps built in. Like big_greg stated, this is never the best way to stream audio to an HT processor or preamp. Much better to invest... | |
| Streaming Audio Cuts Out Frequently Like everyone else stated, I believe this is a wireless network issue. This type of thing is not just limited to Apple TV - it affects everything. I have know somebody with an Oppo bluray player and external antenna. He would get audio drop-outs... | |
| 2.2 Channel System Processor Suggestions Like everyone else said, a 2-channel preamp will usually have the better sound. If you wanted a HT pre/pro, two items come to mind:Bryston SP3 - no room correction or EQ howeverKrell Foundation | |
| Cana anyone recommend a plastic wrench that doesn'e scratch the metal? Over-tightening could potentially cause a problem when you go to remove the spades. Binding posts are typically mounted to the cabinet/plate using a nut on the backside. If the spades are too tight, it could cause the back-nut to loosen and then... | |
| asus stxII with sparkos discrete opamps Hi Johnny,Based on our conversation, I have gone back to try different opamps for I/V in my reference modified DAC. The OPA827 appears to be the best in this position due to the slower slew rate when compared to my other reference op amps. However... | |
| What AV amplifier for 4 x b&W + centre Well, I agree that Marantz AV8805 is an excellent product for the cost. However, it's important to know that it carries the Marantz "sound", which is warm and full, but has softened high frequencies. Some people may not get the visceral impact/e... | |
| What AV amplifier for 4 x b&W + centre Well, I guess it depends on how current you want to be and how current your sources actually are. The MX-170 does support those newer HDMI standards, but the retail is $15.5k. That is, if you want to be in the "always get the cutting edge" techn... | |
| What AV amplifier for 4 x b&W + centre @mayoradamwest - why would you call MX-160 old tech? It does use the new Lyngdorf DSP/processing hardware. The MX-150/151 is the "older tech" platform. | |
| What AV amplifier for 4 x b&W + centre Hmmm, just be aware that most dealers that have the MX-160 will likely have it all hooked to only McIntosh amplifiers. I do know for a fact that the Mac amps are very laid back in the midrange (and overall). It will NOT sound like your Classe 53... |
