| Bridging NAD 3155 and 2155 to include a subwoofer "the other option is using speaker level connection and high pass the super 0s."The NHT Super 8 has no high pass filter, just a pass through, so Super Zero's will still play full range.Agree with rsv4, the 3155 alone should be fine with the Super ... | |
| Noise in one channel Does this noise happen at any volume, low, medium, or high?"any others that compare in terms of spec vs price?" That can be very costly and lead to a bad purchase if you don't fully understand how to interpret them. IHMO, they are more useful to r... | |
| Best female vocal recording on CD? Another vote for Holly Cole. Have a few of her albums, favorite is, "Temptation". All tracks are covers of Tom Waits songs. | |
| Makeup brushes for Christmas Sometimes in a hardware store you can find a small very soft natural bristle paint brush that works well except for a piano finish. Best to use a micro fiber cloth for that.Did she give you some red lipstick for playing the Rolling Stones? | |
| Center channel questions "I don't want to buy a 5.1 channel system, just a mono amp being driven by a center channel decoder if such a thing exists."I don't think such a thing exists, and if it did, there is a good possibility you would have a sync problem with the main s... | |
| Which is better Coax or Optical cables My vote would also be coax. So many brands available, but I would add Black Cat Cables to your list. These are designed by the same guy that designed the Illuminati digital cable. | |
| amperex 6922 pq white label tubes "I am leaning towards the 7308 tubes that frogman pointed out"Excellent choice, a few years ago I tried at least 10-15 different varieties of 6922’s in a component and that 7308 in addition to one other tube were my favorites. The other one is in ... | |
| Which is better Coax or Optical cables ""But" if a person were to place a DAC between the Oppo and integrated there would be a need one."True, however it’s not as simple as adding the DAC and cable. More often than not it becomes an exploration to find the right combination that compli... | |
| CP-700/800 (or similar) w/ HT Bypass just for analog - Any point? I would rearrange the order of your options as follows.1st - Scrap the Schiit in favor of a vastly superior phono stageThen consider these options,Add a dedicated 2 channel preamp with HT bypassScrap the 5509 and go with the Classe SSP-800 (which ... | |
| Think twice before concluding some thing sounds better IMHO, it can be a double edged sword. Sometimes the initial response is correct and it’s possible to over analyze as you listen and convince yourself it’s better when it’s not or just sideways. Rather than trying too hard to analyze the difference... | |
| amperex 6922 pq white label tubes The acronym "NOS" (New Old Stock) is overly used by many, especially on eBay. This means the tube has never been used and tests at or above new values with no issues, shorts or gas, etc. Also, test results should be on a recognized tester that is ... | |
| Recommendations for replacing B&W 804s / HTM3s What are you using for rear channels? | |
| Power cord replacement suggestions IMHO, I would replace the main power cord to the system first. Install at least one, preferably two, dedicated lines from the breaker box to upgraded outlets at the system. It is better to use upgraded component power cords with dedicated lines th... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? @213runnin "Another thread where a cable hater tricks somebody and then goes online to brag about it."The OP has tricked everyone that responded to take a position for either side, believers and non-believers. It’s obvious that the OP and his resp... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? @dlcockrum Dave, I find it quite ironic that grubbs joined the forum the next day after this thread started and this is his first response. Coming up out of the earth seems to cause an unusual odor. |
