DAC's, i'm lost
I agree on the Arcam rdac for sure. Its $500 and is a asynchronous. It has wireless options as well. 
Arcam AVR 600 owners, I have a quick question
I forgot to add this, but if you need a decent spl meter that works really well... Go to radio shack and buy their store model. Its only $45-50 and it works like a charm. I use it at home since I'm manually setup. It even has decent reviews. It lo... 
Arcam AVR 600 owners, I have a quick question
Plug the supplied arcam mic into the "AUX" port on the front of the receiver. The mic itself should be placed in the listener's position roughly ear level. Then you have to jump into arcams gui menu on your tv. Make sure the room is as silent as p... 
Arcam AVR600 bi amp
I biamp my speakers at home with the avr600. It allows you to reassign those channels for your mains for extra power. I had great results from doing this. I noticed respose, clarity, and dynamics improve. So instead of the typical 120 watt per/ch ... 
Class A multichannel amplifier?
As an owner of an avr600, there is little that is actually better for multichannel. Even in two channel it sounds great. However the Arcam av888 paired with the matching p777 sounds excellent as well. It definitely sounds better, but the only conc... 
Avalon Acoustics vs Wilson Audio
Well I went back to my local dealer to listen to the 802d's again. I had them pair it to Simaudio moon evolution series electronics. We used a Supernova cd player, Simaudio p7 pre-amp, Simaudio and a w-7 dual mono amp. The cables were balanced ana... 
Avalon Acoustics vs Wilson Audio
Forgot to put this in my reply James63.You are right about the full body sound. I like that in a speaker, which is probably why I like the Wilson's so much. The Thiel sounds good to me, but its just a tad bit on the thin side. We all have differen... 
Avalon Acoustics vs Wilson Audio
I honestly can't comment the Sophia 3 or the Sasha directly to the 802d. Although I heard all three, they were at different times. My situation in hearing them was a little odd as well. I have two dealers I visit, both carry bowers, but the one ca... 
Avalon Acoustics vs Wilson Audio
James63, I appreciate your comments greatly. You were very professional about it. I trust your judgment on the 802d's, but the new ones were improved significantly from what I've heard. I did hear the last gen 802d's, but it was a while ago and I ... 
Avalon Acoustics vs Wilson Audio
Missioncoonery I perceive the Avalon's sounding as they do from what I was reading on this thread so far. I haven't heard the Avalon's yet, but I will soon. Fyi, for you to discriminate "British hifi" is clearly a fan-boy comment. And yes the new ... 
Avalon Acoustics vs Wilson Audio
I haven't heard the previous versions of the Sasha, but the new one is a great speaker. ItÂ’s superb with music and movies. It features a new midrange driver that was co-designed with its supplier exclusively with Wilson. Whatever they did does won... 
Avalon Acoustics vs Wilson Audio
Man its really going to be a tough decision just from the sound of these comments. I really like the Wilson's because they are revealing. I like audio that doesn't lie. A speaker that's revealing tends to be the most accurate "to me". I don't know...

Awesome guide man. I build computers as a hobbie, but this article is great. I learned somethings I didn't even know. Thanks 
AV Receiver good enough for high end audio?
I've owned an avr600 for almost a year now, and I have to say it has some go. It actually is a true 120w/ch over 4/8ohm. 150w for 2ch stereo direct mode. There are test results proving that its a true 120w, but I don't remember where I saw it. Sou... 
Avalon Acoustics vs Wilson Audio
I've heard the Vandersteen 5a's with electrocompaniet seperates. I want to say I liked them, but when I auditioned with a friend I had a bit of a head cold and my hearing was muffled. My friend really liked them. They seem to sound pretty good. I'...
