I’m having a new home built next spring. I won’t have a dedicated home theater. My open plan great room (approx 20’ x 25’) is going to need to be my TV/audio area. I will have traditional speakers for L-R-C (currently have a Q Acoustics set up with the Concept 40’s in my condo), however surround...
1. Does it effect the sound quality if you bundle interconnects close to each other (i.e twist-tie them together). I'm looking at the 6 interconnects for SACD. 2, Would an Anthem AVM20 produce too much heat to allow the placement of a DVD player on the top of it? Thanks
I realize that different equipment plays a role on what cables work best, so, here's what I have (or will have soon): Outlaw 950 pre-amp, Anthem PVA-5 5-channel amp, Pioneer Elite DV-A 45 uinversal player, and older NHT 2.1 speakers (silk dome tweeters). I need to get interconnects for the...
I don't know much about this amp, and have not seen any reviews on-line of it. Is this new or old? It is only 85 x 5 watts at 8 ohms, however, I have a rather small listening room 12' x 18' and my speakers are NHT 2.1. So, I think the power would be fine for me, but here is my question: My...
Currently, I am using a MSB Link DAC with my current older Marantz receiver. I love this DAC, when compared to the Marantz's internal DAC there is no comparison. Here is my question, if I upgrade to a new receiver (I'm looking at the Rotel or NAD receiver), are the internal DAC's on these new...
Has anybody heard a date that dealers should start to get these in? And what will be the difference between ths and the upcoming T762 (I'm assuming more power)? Thanks
That was a great article, and I've always liked the sound of tube amps, but have never owned one. Here is my question: When people talk about some solid state receivers/amplifiers as sounding "warm," I'm assuming they are saying that the sound is trying to sound closer to tubes. That being...
I found a used Lexicon DC-1 selling for $595, this seems like a really good deal. On the faceplate there are two emblems that appear to be glued on that say "DTS" and "Dolby Digital." I'm wondering if this was an older unit that had been sent back to Lexicon and upgraded with these features...
If you could get either of these two for the same price:
1. Brand new Sony NS700P or
2. Factory refurbished Pioneer Elite DVC-36
My dilema is that I think the Pioneer is probably better built being an Elite and is a 5 disc (not a big deal), however, it is refurbished.
On the Sony side...
