| MidFi multi channel solution needed for HT. If you are going the receiver plus amp route, the higher end Marantz may be a choice, but only if you do a fuse/powercord upgrade. Otherwise, the Anthem MRX receivers are about the highest resolution receivers for sound quality. Then find a very... | |
| MidFi multi channel solution needed for HT. Okay, I'm doing an approach based on your budget as well as my own preference. I am not one who likes room correction systems, so my approach is fully based on sound quality alone. First, I would look at picking up a Marantz AV7703 or AV7704 HT... | |
| Accuphase Vs Parasound Oh shoot, I did not catch that. If you are using ELAC speakers (which sound excellent, but are very inefficient), you need serious amounts of power. Yeah, go with the Parasound Integrated. | |
| MidFi multi channel solution needed for HT. So, I have a few questions for you before I start down a specific direction:1. Is the type/quality of room correction, such as Dirac or ARC, a required item?2. Is the quality of the analog audio circuit important?3. Is upgradability an importa... | |
| ATI AT543NC recent user feedback? I would call ATI on that question. | |
| Accuphase Vs Parasound The Accuphase is engineered much better - discrete analog stages, fully balanced throughout, etc, etc. Much better part components. However, it is full Class A into 30 watts.---Parasound INT is a jack-of-all-trades integrated that has every sing... | |
| ATI AT543NC recent user feedback? The specs do not indicate any change in THD between 54x and 52x models. I would not pay too much attention to THD and distortion because that doesn't really dictate how well an amp sounds.---The AT52x amps are single-ended and use a single board ... | |
| Some Basic Center Channel speaker reccomendaitons I would avoid the Emotiva and Chane speakers because the ribbon tweeters are likely going to be very different. The Ascend and Asperion options look good for a "somewhat closer" match. The use softdome tweeters like your ADS. | |
| Affordable Processor with Fabulous 2 Channel ? Yes, I would like to know why you think USB is better than digital COAX for PCM audio. Obviously, USB is required for any DSD files, but I think the compromises made in the USB interface may get in the way somewhat when compared to COAX s/pdif wi... | |
| PS Audio Stellar Gain DAC/Pre-amp as first foray into separate pre-amp? Awsome. Sorry, but I don't know much about phono cables. I have done a lot of testing on general interconnects, hence my recommendations for the Wire World. You could try posting in the "Analog" forum to ask about DIN phono cables. | |
| Some Basic Center Channel speaker reccomendaitons Agreed. Those ADS 1090 have a rather unique looking midrange and tweeter. I can be close to impossible to find a matching center channel for this. You could try, but expect to have mismatched sonic signatures. You are likely better off starti... | |
| Building a $1200 RCA Interconnect Cable Pure copper is never used when you need a strong or high tension metal, such as the ground shield on an RCA cable that needs to grip the RCA socket tightly. It is just not strong/stiff enough. Furutech actually specifies the type of metal used ... | |
| Krell Duo 300 compared to Evo 302e or 402e? Heh, I gues beryllium is metal - I had to google it. Most metal dome tweeters are made from aluminum or titanium or maybe even magnesium. These all have rather low frequencies where they flex/resonate and breakup (such as somewhere between 20khz... | |
| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... Hey fleschler, didn't mean to step on any toes. I have been through tons of cable designs as well, and for me, I have found that silver can help in some situations, but it mostly becomes bright and artificial. Copper with rhodium plated termina... | |
| Review: Emotiva XDA-1 DA converter @gareneau - You might be talking about the XDA-2, which does have separate boards/modules. The XDA-1 is all on one board and the output stages are already fully discrete circuits (you can tweak them, but you can't replace them.-----The XDA-2 is a... |
