| Throughly disappointed with my new Yamaha A-3000 Integrated....... What speakers are you using? I'll bet that with an easier load the amp won't have issues. Many Yamaha's don't like driving less than 8 ohms, even if they are rated at 6. I'd never use them with 4. | |
| Oppo hard drive I've used a hard drive with my 105 but was frustrated. The menus and getting to the right folder wasn't worth the hassles. I found it easier to have a bunch of flash drives, ie Jazz, classical... | |
| Integrating OPPO 105D in a home theater ? Aux,If using 2 single ended connections you may be correct. However, what I'm discussing is one with single ended, one with toslink (impossible to get feedback) and the third through my Hugo, again almost impossible to get feedback through that l... | |
| Suggest an SACD/CD player under $6k Randy,According to Oppo, the 105 and 205 have the same audio. It's video that's better in the 205 | |
| Integrating OPPO 105D in a home theater ? I abuse my 105 like that all the time. HDMI out for theater and 2 channel for music. The receiver won't know that this is 2 separate sources. For fun, also run a digital out from the Oppo to the receiver and give yourself a 3rd source. | |
| Does a tube need the break-in hours? 12 series tubes should be plug and play.12ax7s should last 2000-5000 hours. | |
| Suggest an SACD/CD player under $6k You probably won't see much of an improvement with SACD's since technology there hasn't changed. However, using your player with a nicer DAC will be a big improvement. For 2 channel, almost anything by Chord or Schiit will sound better (at least... | |
| Hi Fi Hi End Verses Pro Audio Specs Maplegrove,It's a lot... I have owned carver, qsc, crown & crest. My old Marantz 2215b sounded better than all of them!Current amps: McIntosh 7106 (theater), Grommes G101A totally restored (2 channel) and a Masterwork integrated made by Pilo... | |
| Newbie here with a cable question Start with inexpensive cables, make sure you have really good connections and see what happens. If you have hum or feel that you are missing something then consider changes such as shielded or braided cables. Blue Jeans would be a fine example of... | |
| Newbee building a retro sound system from scratch. DCM speakers The 2215b won't have enough power. "15" is 15 watts. Get a bigger Marantz, those speakers will appreciate it. | |
| Hi Fi Hi End Verses Pro Audio Specs Having owned a huge club with tens of thousands of watts, I'll sum it up by saying I now have a theater, 2 channel home audio and a tube system for work-None of these systems have any commercial components and never will. Differences are massive. | |
| Newbie here with a cable question Personally, I love Nordost Blue Heaven. Not too expensive and they do help.FYI-nice system. I'd never plug it in without a power conditioner or surge protector of some sort of quality. No way I'd use a $15 power strip! | |
| CAT6 Sure you want cat-6? Supposedly all wires are not the same guage. CAT-5 might be preferable | |
| Tyr 2 vs Valhalla v2 Skrymar,A group of us attended a Nordost demo at a local shop. The Nordost rep was great and really didn't try to play games. He did a complete power cable comparison on the CD player only-keeping all else equal on this $50k system.The stock cor... | |
| Need Recommendations on a CD Player That's still the best sounding single disc player I've ever heard for under $2k. |
