| Recommended receiver for HT @millercarbon - he has already said he has a separate stereo music setup, so I don't think your reflex response is entirely correct.That being said, if you are coming from a Bryston SP3 / Parasound system, going to a receiver will be a significant... | |
| 2000-2500 USD budget for an integrated amplifier. Do amplifiers sound the same? :) I have several thoughts on this discussion, but one thing stood out for me: He's got a set of studio monitors but often we need to check our work on this Klipsch Forte III hifi system. You are saying that you use this system as sort of ... | |
| The better amp? In comparison, the Emotiva DAC has extremely high current power supply that has a +12V and -12V lines to the op amp / audio circuits. This is much better than another DAC that uses switching wal-wart or only a 5V USB power supply. | |
| The better amp? USB contains 2 wires for digital signal and 2 wires for "USB Power". This is just 5V DC and it's driven from the computer/laptop (which is basically the same or worse than a wal-wart switching power supply). Also agree completley with timlub. Y... | |
| Help looking for dynamic warm romantic sound with detail Whoah, let's back up a bit in this thread with recommending everything under the sun. n_brio's only experience here is bouncing between two brands. While the B&W CM10 speakers can definitely be upgraded, I do think that n_brio can approach w... | |
| So I switched from XLR cables... I'd like to introduce a new thought in addition to almarg's comments.. Even though capbeaver's XLR and RCA cables were made by same manufacture, there could be a significant difference between them. Are the XLR/RCA cables the exact same model? ... | |
| The better amp? joser - TPA6120A2 is a monolothic "chip" type op amp headphone driver. Like mijostyn said, discrete analog stages will almost always sound better than monotholic op amps. Also, Roland is driven by a wal-wart switching power supply, which is neve... | |
| Vincent Audio SV-500 Arriving Today Huh. I have only heard the Yamaha from many youtube videos (which on my system has accurately shown the sonic signature). All the Yamaha integrateds have a very bright and solid state sound. | |
| Vincent Audio SV-500 Arriving Today Actually, the Yamaha S1100 or S2100 integrated amps would be a lot brighter and more forward than the Denon/Vincent sound. The same would be said about the Bryston integrated. Class D amps will not be as bright or solid-state sounding as the Yam... | |
| It is balanced or not? No, not likely better than Emotiva DAC. | |
| Tekton or Klipsch I guess the Forte are also 99db efficient. | |
| Tekton or Klipsch I've heard the tektons. For the money and size of speaker with the amount of drivers, it's a really good deal. However, it's not the highest resolution speaker and the high frequencies are definitely not as extended as other speakers. It's a mo... | |
| It is balanced or not? Right. If you have two D-75 amps, it is better to use one amp per speaker. But not in bridged mode. The power supply from one amp is only used to power one speaker. This is better because a single amp power supply does not have to push two spe... | |
| It is balanced or not? right. | |
| It is balanced or not? yeah, that sounds like a good plan. If you have two D-75 amps, use one for left speaker and use the other amp for right speaker. That way, you are not sharing a single amp power supply for both speakers. |
