| Ayre C-5xe mp vs PS Audio Digital Link III Ayre did that on purpose when they designed the c5xe. I don't remember all of the specific details, but I know that how they set the levels was done to improve sound quality. If you call them, they will explain it. | |
| Sunfire Tube Pre, Carver TFM45 & Paradigm Studio20 If you have a pair of Vandersteen 2's I don't know why you wouldn't use them. Even if they are not current, you should be able to upgrade them to Sig 1's. Maybe Sig 2's but I'm not sure. No offence to Paradigm, but there is just no comparasion; es... | |
| Missing sound of instruments/voice/ on CD tracks Sargentfriday,If its not too much trouble, can you explain what kind of interconnect error it was? I don't know why, but I did post with some possible fixes but it looks that Audiogon never posted them for some reason. Looks like I was wrong but t... | |
| Cary CD-500 vrs used Esoteric X-05 I heard the 500 and thought it was one of the better sounding players for the money. Also, I like the idea of getting something made in the US, england, Canada ect. I've always felt that there is just something missing from the Asian products. Tha... | |
| Preamp Suggestions for Monarchy SE-160 amps??? If your current preamp is only flat sounding, I would keep it for now. Its very hard to find a good, inexpensive preamp in your price range; new or used. I would consider a passive solution but not active. If you go active, you are likely to get s... | |
| McCormack DNA 0.5 Deluxe thumps turning on/off Why turn it off at all? As long as you are not dealing with tubes or poweramps, just leave it on. Thats what I do and I know many manufactures will recommend the same thing. I'm not saying that you have no problem, that I don't know, but it might ... | |
| Help understanding adding amp to reciever Correct and yes. You will be using your Onkyo as a preamp only for the front main channels. You should still be able to level match all your speakers (where you listen to white noise sent to each speaker to set the proper volume.) It should be a v... | |
| Intro system budget problem The one thing I can tell you for sure is that your friends are not giving you good advice when they tell you to spend the most money on speakers. I know they mean well but spending money is a lot different than matching components. Your system is ... | |
| Small Room Speakers I think Jaybo is right. You like what you have. Why not just try it first given it is not that big of a floorstander anyway. Also, B&W is not an overly bass heavy speaker. It may make better sense to get rid of one of the 402's; unless you nee... | |
| Missing sound of instruments/voice/ on CD tracks Thats a very odd problem. I would first start with Onhwy61's recommendation. Assuming the problem persists, I can only guess, but a couple of things come to mind. If you made copies of these CD's, you may have some settings wrong. I know you can m... |
