| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @grk you're right. I verified in the manual, it says this about the front buttons: 2. The INPUT SELECTOR button switches between the balanced and unbalanced inputs. 4. This two color LED indicates that the main power is on. When it is green th... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! Sorry if this is a little off-topic, but I’ve been struggling to find good preamp options that have HT bypass. I need the preamp to take bypassed input from a surround processor, and normal input from a streamer. Then it occurred to me. The S5.5 i... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @johnah5 do you have any thoughts on whether the S5.5 might be a good match for Sonus Faber Amati Traditions? People tend to recommend around 500w to bring out their best and are usually paired with McIntosh. | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @hanki just for clarification, you’re Magico S5 speakers have the following specs and you don’t find the S5.5 lacking in power or bass output compared to other amps? Sensitivity: 88dB Impedance: 4 Ohms Recommended Power: 50 watts - 1000 Watts I ... | |
| Gallium Nitride GaN Class D Amplifiers @bhvf , care to say what the old and new cables were? It might help others who happen to be using similar cables | |
| Proac K6 Signature, Sonus Faber Amati Tradition,Verity Audio Amadis, Kharma DB-9 @garebear what speakers did you end up going with? Looks like ProAC was in the lead on this thread. It happens to be on my list to listen to. The dealer has ProAC k6 Sig on demo, however, I may go with something lower in the line like the D48... | |
| Getting the most out of streamed video: Netflix and Plex (with NVIDIA Shield Pro?) Just to report back some of my research...The Zidoo (and other similar players) are purposely designed with local storage and a native menu for playing media. So to get the most of these devices, you would copy media directly to it, then play. And... | |
| Getting the most out of streamed video: Netflix and Plex (with NVIDIA Shield Pro?) Shield Pro is no doubt ahead in regards to feature set. For example, it has Dolby Vision where the other premium choices don't.Both the Zidoo and Shield are android based, so I'm assuming the Netflix/Plex experience would be very similar. I see ... | |
| Getting the most out of streamed video: Netflix and Plex (with NVIDIA Shield Pro?) millercarbon, I'm sure your 2-ch setup is stellar, would love to hear it. I have a setup with separate 2-ch side and surround side, where front L/R are always powered by 2-ch pre/amp. Surround equipment can remain off when playing music.auxinput... | |
| Paradigm Persona the right source matters! Has anyone else found that Personas respond significantly to speaker cables? I was told that speaker cables would make the smallest difference of all components, but was very surprised when I installed a new pair of Audio Sensibility Testament Bi... | |
| Upgrade from Paradigm Prestige to Persona In a similar situation I purchased my 3F speakers without hearing them first. Actually, I did not even hear any Paradigm speaker so I wasn't familiar with the "house sound" as you are.You may be off to a good start if you already enjoy the Para... | |
| Do standalone digital-to-digital EQ and Room Correction products exist? SPDIF in SPDIF out Along with some of the recommendations so far, persistent googling has turned up the following options:- miniDSP SHD Studio All in One Streaming processor with Dirac Live Digital Room Correction ($899 USD)- miniDSP DDRC-22D All digital Dirac Live... | |
| Paradigm Persona 3F setup recommendations for cinema + music Thanks, audiotroy. I'm leaning towards the high end 2-ch integrated for driving the Persona 3Fs.In front of that, the AVM 60 or MRX 1120 -- both being used in the roll of preamp only for music playback. On paper, the preamp spec of both compone... | |
| Paradigm Persona 3F setup recommendations for cinema + music @noble100I didnt mention the remaining speakers because they are currently B&W, which is a mismatch for the Persona 3Fs. I will definitely need to replace the center with an appropriate Persona match. The SVS sub will remain. The setup is ... | |
| Paradigm Persona 3F setup recommendations for cinema + music In that case with AVM 60 processing the signal, an “integrated” is not necessary. However, in a cinema/music setup, I am told you pretty much need a separate component chain for music to get the best out of it. (i.e. not going thru avm60 for musi... |
