| External Linear Power Supplies You would need a separate power supply for each of these because they have different DC voltage requirements and different connections.The iFi power supply might be better than some stock power supplies, but it’s still a wal-wart switching power s... | |
| Deciding between kef r11, b&w 702s2 and sonus faber sonetto v I think the B&W S2 series is going to be more accurate and revealing than the Sonus Faber, but I agree that those S2 carbon tweeters have a slightly hard edge to the sound. The Sonus Faber is going to be much more pleasing to listen to, but a... | |
| wilson sasha daw or B&W 800 d3 or rockport Atria II or dali epicon 8 or sonus faber amati Speakers are a very personal preference item. If you can listen to them, then that would best, but sometimes you can't. All of these options are excellent, but in different ways.Wilson Sasha Daw - Wilson are very high resolution and revealing sp... | |
| Best Affordable 5.1 AND Stereo Receiver to Drive Meadowlark Heron-i Speakers It sounds like you have that B&K Reference 30 (which is a HT preamp/processor) AND a separate amplifier. Based on your tendancy towards "warmer" sounding equipment, I would look at the Bryston SP3 HT preamp/processor to replace your Reference... | |
| Let's roll: what pre-amp tubes should I consider next? I do have limited experience with tubes (I’m a solid state guy). Though, I do have some comments:I do like the PSVANE tubes very much. I would say that they are just about the highest resolution and least colored tubes that you can get. I don’t kn... | |
| Best Mods for a Mac-mini used as a Music Server I have had good experiences with Teradak linear power supplies:https://www.ebay.com/itm/TeraDak-2010-2018-MAC-Mini-Audiophile-HiFi-Linear-Power-Supply-DC12V13A/123... | |
| 2000-2500 USD budget for an integrated amplifier. Do amplifiers sound the same? :) tim, wow, I would suggest to calm down on the arrogance. I'm already agreeing that Class D would be a great suggestion for the OP, yet you're taking this to the extreme and finding any reason to pound me and making you "right". | |
| Krell HTS 7.1 set up Sorry, I don't know the default configuration for the HTS (as far as speaker sizes and bass management, etc.).The first or second generation DVD players used to be able to play video in "progressive mode". This just meant that it output a 480p pr... | |
| Krell HTS 7.1 set up Oh, by the way, if you supply a 2-channel PCM audio signal to the HTS 7.1, it will just play it full range to left/right speakers. It will send this through the crossover and to the subwoofer output. Only Dolby Digital and DTS movie sountracks ... | |
| Krell HTS 7.1 set up You will need a "Composite to HDMI converter". Just google for this and you'll find lots of options. The onscreen menu is only available from certain video outputs on the HTS (like the composite or S-Video output). You might have to look around... | |
| 2000-2500 USD budget for an integrated amplifier. Do amplifiers sound the same? :) Well, now that wasn't condescending, was it? Lol. This lack of high frequency extension and air is a common response to current Class D offerings. I have even heard this through the extremely expensive BLACK amps. It even shows up in reviews (... | |
| Tube or monos for ProAc Response 48D Having direct experience with pretty much the entire history of Emotiva amps, I would avoid the newest "Gen 3" amps (such as the XPA-DR1 you were considering). Your older XPA-2 is going to have much more bass power and will sound more natural than... | |
| 2000-2500 USD budget for an integrated amplifier. Do amplifiers sound the same? :) Actually, Class D amps may not be a bad suggestion for the OP. The newer Class D amps, especially the nCore models, are extremely clean clear sounding. I have heard that recording engineers love these because it allows them to hear every single... | |
| Headroom Loss for 1600w on 14ga/120v this is another thread started by ieales from a previous thread where he is trying to prove that 14awg is more than enough for ANY home audio equipment. I'm not surprised that kosst has glammed onto this same mentality. | |
| Recommended receiver for HT Probably the closest receiver to your Bryston/Parasound sonic signature is the NAD, but realize that it may not be quite as refined or full or powerful. Alternative would be to keep the Bryston SP3 and look for a nice 5 or 7 channel amp. It will... |
