| Poor sound from rental Blu-Ray discs I did notice the "The Hunger Games" rented from Netflix only offered standard Dolby surround. None of the blu-ray sound formats, DTS-Master, etc. came up in the menu.Store bought copy has all the sound formats. | |
| Cartridges that work best on an OL Encounter MK3C? I am using an OL Encounter on my Basis 1400. Current cartridge is Benz Micro Glider SL. Very nice match. Phono pre is Heed Quasar. | |
| What to upgrade first Another vote for turntable/cartridge/phono pre upgrade. | |
| Best Two-Way Monitor Speakers under $700 New/Used Monitor Audio RX-2. Great sounding monitor. Is your friend considering adding a subwoofer? | |
| Better Record Cleaning Method I always clean new vinyl with my Nitty-Gritty. You never know what could be lerking in brand new grooves. | |
| Duet to Touch for next upgrade? I would not use the volume control in the Duet. It is a digital volume control and you will lose bit resolution.I have tried it and it sounds terrible. | |
| Disappointing Albums of 2012 Notec - I hear ya. I stopped at Rush's last good record "Grace Under Pressure" (IMO). | |
| Preamp for McIntosh MC252 I used a McIntosh C42 when I had my MC252. SS with MM phono pre. Nice match. | |
| Monitor Audio Silver RS6 - What Speaker Cables? I used Acoustic Zen Satori when I had the RS6 in my 2 channel system. Previous to that, I used Analysis Plus Oval 9. Satori better them in every way. | |
| Monitor Audio Rx1? How about ordering a pair from Audio Advisor. They have a 30 day return policy. They have free shipping for purchases over $99. If you don't care for them, return on your nickel. I'm thinking about trying the RX-1 and RX-2. | |
| Wyred 4 sound vs Red Dragon digital mono blocks?? Sunnyjim - Why are these "digital" mono blocks? | |
| Opinions on Wyred 4 Sound ICE amps I'm looking to possibly pair the W4S amps with a Rogue Perseus tube pre. I had a W4S STI-500 Integrated in the recent past and enjoyed the sound.Any advantage using the monoblocks vs. the ST-500 stereo amp? Both look to use the same modules. | |
| Best "small footprint" speaker between $600-1000 I've really been enjoying my Monitor Audio RS-6's for the past couple of years. Outstanding bass for its size. Nice overall presentation. I'm sure you could pick up a used pair for around $700 or so. | |
| Is Ortofon Rondo Bronze MC really low rider?? I don't recall my old Rondo Bronze riding any lower than other cartridge I've owned in the past. I would re-check the VTF. If VTF okay, than cartridge suspension may be shot. | |
| DacMagic - Now What I went from the DacMagic to the Wyred4Sound DAC-1. Was a major step up in my system. |
