| Preamp shootout: Joule, CJ, BAT Incidentally, Meridian techie told me that the new 596 DVD player was better for CD than the old 508.24, and that the new 588 CD player was even better than that, although marginally. Maybe he was in the mood to plug the new products, or maybe I s... | |
| Preamp shootout: Joule, CJ, BAT Macinman,Question regarding the martin logan / rels. Looking to sell? Send me some email at dbw1@rcn.com if so, can't seem to get your email address to work. | |
| What is your OTHER passion? Driving. Fast.Abstract7 - perhaps the commonality has to do with perceptual thrill / sensation seeking. | |
| H.T. newbie - Subwoofer questions... This can get quite complicated. You can send the signal into the sub, use its crossover so that it sends the rest of the signal (all frequencies above whatever you set the sub's cross-over at) to the mains, and set up your processor so that it thi... | |
| Favourite / most impressive audio store Gotta throw my two cents in for Goodwin's High End in Waltham, MA. Didn't even know they were here when I moved to town. They carry really high-end stuff (I've heard the Dynaudio Evidences there at $85,000, as well as the Martin Logan Statements a... | |
| What songs make you cry? The 1954 Furtwangeler conducting of Beethoven's 9th (and sometimes other versions of Ode to Joy).The soundtrack to Braveheart (I know, I should be committed).Pachelbel's Canon in D.The Highway Man by Loreena McKennitt.American Pie (memories, of co... | |
| Building a Brand New HT... Need advice You can expand your options by going for a 5-channel amp and a 2 channel from the same company, as there are many of these compared to just a few 7 channel amps. Bryston makes a good 5 channel amp, for instance, but I'm sure you'll get many recomm... | |
| RCA to 25-bit All right, all right, I'll explain. My processor (the sunfire) does not have an analog pass-through, and it's DAC's are not as good as the DAC in my CD source. As an alternative to using both the stereo preamp for CD, and plugging the sunfire into... | |
| RCA to 25-bit yes, i meant 25 pin. looks like the printer connection on the back of a cpu. thanks for the advice kr4. i'm actually not looking to do it cheaper than $90, i'm looking for cabling that's higher quality than the monster. | |
| Whatever Happened to Snell? Yep. Boston Acoustics is now the proud owner of Snell. I have no idea what that will mean in terms of product quality... | |
| Stereo Amp. for bedroom under 400USD. You can get a bryston 3b used for $400. You'll have to get a fairly old one, but they come with 20 year warranties. I've had several. 120 watts per channel ought to do it for a bedroom. | |
| CAL CL-2500 DVD/CD I will be auditioning this piece vs. the classe dvd1 (like you, particularly for CD quality) the weekend of june 9th. if you send me an email i'll probably remember to let you know then what i think. sorry i can't help you sooner. unless someone o... | |
| HT vs. stereo pre-amps again There may be something I'm not getting about using a tape loop. Is there a difference between using the tape in and any other input? If you use the whole loop, where does the tape out go? You've got the tape out AND the main out...Please advise. | |
| What Are Your Audio Morals? I agree with the honesty perspective. If you tell a dealer your intentions, it is their decision whether to spend time with you or loan you a demo. If they think it's a worthwhile investment, they'll try it, if they don't, they won't. I'm going to... | |
| HT vs. stereo pre-amps again Sean - the sunfire isn't bad on two channel, especially when hooked up via the digital out of the source, but again, it doesn't compare to my perreaux. it does have a lot of features and convenience. the one aspect i dislike is that even with the ... |
