| Class D = Trash? Watch blanket statements. I have listened to about a half dozen Class D using the two most common modules and they ranged from poor to not half bad, but not something for the long haul. I settled on Nuforce/Nuprime which uses a very different styl... | |
| Best $500 System? The DVD player I have has HDMI and then component out. I like Nuforce, have their reference 20 mono amps myself in the big rig | |
| Best $500 System? I think she likes active listening as well as dancing around to tunes | |
| Best $500 System? Yes I have an Oppo 105 and understand. I found an old Blue Ray Player that I am not using (replaced it with the Oppo) hooked it up to my computer speakers which have a volume control, control both left right - and it plays fine except that the spe... | |
| Best $500 System? Thank you all for you good ideas - I know that the budget is very low, but feel we can do better than a boom box. I checked out the Classik and it looks like a good option if I can find used and a very generous offer on the speakers, polk432 - tha... | |
| Old Amp vs. New Amp Even 4 year old amps have often become very much a good value - why go back 20 years? And Class D's such as Nuprime are ready for prime time | |

| Your choice of the most "inert" cabinets ? Von Schweikert cabinets in their new lines are so silent and non-reactive you can see the precision of drum strikes with no blurring on an occiliscope | |
| To Pre or not to Pre? Here is my take I use an Ayon CD5s which in additon to transport and DAC has a great built in pre with analogue volume control - This works better than adding a different pre | |
| Dumb question #643: should speaker cables last a lifetime? I had a set of cables with a clear covering and over 15 years all the copper inside the cable also oxidized, turning green, not just the ends. So I assume that even good quality cable might slowly deteriorate over that period of time | |
| CAN SOMEONE HELP Look unto Nuprime for amp, DAC and preamp combo | |
| Great integrated amps with narrow depth under 12 inches? The Nuprime stuff is excellent and in fact because of design has plenty of power. It will bring things alive in a natural way and will have excellent base control. I think they have a 30 day audition. I have the Reference 20's now and had the Refe... | |
| Newbie looking for amplifier advice Look at Marigo audio dots for the large window - they work wonders with the glass. Consider free audition of the Nuprime line of integrateds with DAC | |
| Is it worth upgrading my power conditioner to Shunyata? Some of it depends on whether your power is very clean or dirty. |
