| cdp to amp I have owned a Theta Miles (balanced version) and a Cary CD-308 and run/ran both directly to my amps. For me, it is a benefit. You save a ton-o-cash by not needing a pre-amp or extra interconnect cables. I don't notice any lack of dynamics IMS. I ... | |
| HSU vs. ADIRE vs.Pinnacle SUBS I have owned the Baby Boomer and the VT-2. I sold the VT-2 and kept the BabyBoomer. I liked the HSU, but the size and esthetic qualities of the Pinnacle were FAR superior to the HSU and the Pinnacle gave up very little in the performance departmen... | |
| Any AudiogoNers Winston Cup fans? Oh yeah, big fan here! I'm kinda into anything with big-n-stupid tires!!I go to 2-3 auto races a year.Sometimes NASCAR, sometimes sprint cars (wings are for wimps), sometimes Formula 1, sometimes AMA motorcycles.Unlike the previous posters, I like... | |
| Scott/Dynaco TUbe Amps...... I currently own several tube amps and if I were in the market for an inexpensive tube amp, I would buy an Anthem Integrated 1. It is a 25 watt/ch. tube integrated amps using EL-84 output tubes. It has a tube based pre-amp section also.I recently b... | |
| How to combine 2ch int amp with HT Konstantin,Correct, if you use an Integrated amp with no HT bypass/Processor loop, you will need to set the volume of the integrated to the "calibrated" level each time you want to use HT. Not as bad as it sounds. Simply set the volume to a pre-de... | |
| How to combine 2ch int amp with HT Duddley is correct, and I have run several different integrated/HT combo systems over the years. Here are some other nice integrated amps that have HT bypass/Processor loop. BTW, I've owned all of them!Arcam Alpha 10Anthem Integrated 1Anthem Integ... | |
| Pathos Classic One, new version, any good? Paul,I have a friend that owns the original (Avalon style) Sonatas and powers the with a Moth 45 tube amp at less than 2 watts channel. He has a fairly large room too! I'm sure the Pathos would power the Sonatas just fine. The Thiels may be a diff... | |
| 24/96 DAC + DVD Player - Help As usual, Sugarbrie is correct! Your transport/player needs to have an "upsampler" to output anything above 44.1K when playing a standard (redbook) CD.Interestingly, my Cary CD-308 is an "upsampling" player and outputs a 24/96 signal at the digita... | |
| Setting my subwoofer cutoff frequency Most HT receivers have bass management of some kind. For most low/mid-fi receivers that I've played with, the cutoff frequency was fixed by the receiver at 80 or 100hz. If you have your receiver setup set to SUB=yes/on, it is likely that the recei... | |
| need ideas to raise speaker stands You can go to Home Depot and get a couple of concrete "stepping stones". They come in various sizes like 12"x12", 18"x18" or 24"x24". They are about 2 inches thick. You could put some heavy duty cones under them to couple them to the floor if need... | |
| Opinions AV recievers under 1000 new or used I can't comment on all of the receivers listed as I have only owned the B&K AVR-202 from your list. However, I have also owned Denon AVR-3300 and Sony SRT-DB930 for HT receivers.Of those, the B&K was noticably better sounding for music and... | |
| Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles? Howdy Gang,Tom here. I'm another Cincinnati Audiophile. I'm good friends with sbrown who replied earlier. I'm all for forming a small group. There are many people in/around Cincinnati that are into HiFi and several are fans of low-powered SET amps... | |
| Best Live Recordings:Performance and recording I love good live performances. Here are some of my favorites:Patricia Barber-Companion I have not liked any other PB records that I've heard, but Companion is one of my ABSOLUTE favorite records. This is an inspired performance and a very good rec... | |
| Monitor with a full range sound? Well, it kinda depends on what you mean by "full range". I've owned about 10 different stand mounted monitors (I like the imaging!) and the only one I've owned that I consider "healthy" in the bass department is my current pair of Reference 3A MM ... | |
| Power Cord; upgrade vs tweak I agree with Jahaira. Just build a quality DIY cable like the Bob Crump Asylum cable from AudioAsylum.com. The parts are easily available and you just need the bare Belden cable and the plug. It should cost about $20 and take less than one hour.Do... |
