| Looking for an amp....Opinions about Odyssey or Bel Canto audio anyone? Regarding the ground loop hum, their Candella preamp does have a slight ground loop hum. My friend has extremely high efficient speakers (we are talking 99db efficient) and you can definitely hear the ground loop hum interaction between Candella ... | |
| Looking for an amp....Opinions about Odyssey or Bel Canto audio anyone? Odyssey is a rather "underdog" type of company and they do not do all the "measurements and specs" that major companies do. I have looked at the Odessey equipment and overall architecture. It is very good and uses high quality internal component... | |
| What’s in a watt That is awsome that you’re getting an in-home demo of the Lyngdorf! Let us know what you think when you hear it! Regarding the Anthem, the difference between 170 watts and 200 watts is not anything that you would be able to tell the difference o... | |
| New or Old? The old Krell Theater Amplifier Standard (TAS) was an awsome amp, but at this point it is 15-17 years old and I would not spend money on that unless you planned on re-capping the amplifier. The Krell devices from this era are starting to frequentl... | |
| What’s in a watt @hybrid81 - It seems like you are really focused on the features of an "all-in-one" solution. One thing I would like to caution (again) is to pay more attention to component matching. The Anthem STR integrated is a very good piece, but it is goi... | |
| What’s in a watt First, if you have concerns about your 105, I would call Oppo and see. Even though they are not making new devices, they will still support in-warranty and out-of-warranty repairs.--As far as NAIM goes, it sounds like a "naim fanboy" was making t... | |
| Purchase a receiver or what? need your advice. Oh, just re-read your post. It sounds like your buddy only has two CA-M600 amps. There's actually a guy on audiogon selling a pair of black CT-M600 for $7580. Unfortunately, I would really need three amps, and it will be much harder to find a s... | |
| Purchase a receiver or what? need your advice. Well, if I can't get my Parasound amps to a level where I'm satisfied, your buddie's three CA-M600 amplifiers are definitely an option, especially if he's willing to sell for $7-8k. I should know within a couple weeks if these Parasound will work... | |
| Schiit Saga which tubes to order? I think the "real" Amperex tubes do have some sort of magic. However, it is going to be hard to find a real Amperex and there are many different types and releases of the Amperex 6sn7 tube. If you can find a real Holland made one (or even a USA... | |
| Purchase a receiver or what? need your advice. Regarding the 4K thing, I have had people come over and see my projector and their comment is "that's 1080p?!?! Really???". The image actually looks so good, it's pretty much just like film. I'm sure that a good Sony 4K projector will be better ... | |
| MidFi multi channel solution needed for HT. I cannot really say anything about "Vietnam being worse than japan/china". I really don't have any knowledge regarding this. However, I have ordered individual electronic parts (capacitors, op amps, etc.) from digikey/mauser and they always come... | |
| Purchase a receiver or what? need your advice. The JC1 has a better input stage and I wanted full monoblock for my front stage (including center channel). The A23 is fine for surround, but the center channel is the most important.----I actually got a pair of Bryston 7b3 monoblocks after I det... | |
| MidFi multi channel solution needed for HT. Relating to your fuse question. Fuses are a way to tune the sound of your system/equipment, and most all of upgraded fuses are going to be better than stock fuses. However, the choice of fuse depends entirely on what you currently have and syste... | |
| MidFi multi channel solution needed for HT. I do think Denon doesn't have great sound quality and sounds just like every other conventional receiver, such as Onkyo, Integra, Sony, Pioneer. The best receivers, in my opinion, are Marantz (warm), Anthem (best resolution), and Yamaha is not ba... | |
| MidFi multi channel solution needed for HT. I have tried several different HT Processors and also tried room correction. I had a Theta processor that did Dirac room correction. No matter what I did, the Dirac was very intrusive to the sound and did funny things to the phasing - it was like ... |
