| DC Offset Blocker/Killer - where to buy in the USA I second the CMX-2. Solved my problem. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/jl-audio-fathom-f212v2-noise-and-hum | |
| Counterfeit Audioquest Cables Let me pose a solution - when you purchase a used audio cable direct the seller to send it to Audioquest to validate it before it comes to you and get agreement that if it’s determined to be a fraud he’s liable and you get your money back. That ... | |
| Pittsburgh, PA Audio Club This thread going on four months dormant...Bueller, bueller? | |
| AV Receiver with Integrated Amp - Sub Connections? I think I get what you want to do because I’m planning at some point to do something similar. It blows my mind that a lot of companies have “home theater” pass throughs but never do they have sub inputs and outputs which is nuts as subs are critic... | |
| OPPO 205 set up questions Lot of responses here. Agree HDMI to the marantz is the simplest for home theater. For two channel, given the praise of oppo, you’d be smart to test out which sounds best to you, the HDMI with marantz doing the da conversion or using the analog o... | |
| Am I the only one that finds the "Round thumbnail frames" irritating on classifieds? There were lots of hate threads on the portholes when they were rolled out. I’m amazed they are still around. They are just terrible. | |
| Seating suggestions Thanks for the suggestions. Overall the space is going to be a media room type of setting so compromises will be made! I’m not a hardcore 2 channel guy but I have nice equipment which I don’t think is likely being utilized to it’s full potential ... | |
| Go dual small sub, switch to closed sub or buy a bigger sub? I moved from a pair of pb-1000s to a pair of Jl Audio f212v2s. Literally night and day. The new subs are just cleaner- notes and bass lines are distinct and different frequencies are apparent. It was a massive change so massive changes were expect... | |
| Revel Ultima 2's and Amplification I have the same speaker setup you do, but in addition have revel four c583 in ceiling and a pair of jl fathom f212v2 subs. This is all running off of a marantz 8802a and a pair of lexicon rx-7 amps. Front three channels are all biamped. For my ... | |
| Y-split vs separate cables Interesting view I suppose. I’m interested in the actual effects of runnning a split cable vs using dual outputs. Maybe there is no bad outcome which would be great as I can do what I want while not having to upgrade to the 8805. | |
| Weakest link? I’ve thought about that route but have yet to see any prepros which include HT pass through for dual subs (I have 2 JL Audio f212v2 subs). The JL Audio CR-1 crossover might be a good option to have my oppo feed right into it and let the CR1 do the... | |
| Weakest link? Can someone provide links to the Omega E Mats? Google returned little in results. I'm not clear what any of that is. Same with audio-grade fuses, not really sure about that. I'll note I have Shunyata ZR-1 outlets (3 dedicated 20 amp, 30 foot runs... | |
| Marantz 7007- amp not functioning Hi - this is not my primary home theater system but probably is the primary viewing system. it’s in our casual family room where much is not optimal for sound and it’s used for everyday tv and music for the family room and kitchen. Currently it h... | |
| Marantz 7007- amp not functioning SO somewhat good news i checked my credit card which i used to purchase the unit and they add an extra year to the manufacturer warranty period so working through the claims process. So far so good. Despite the failure likely going to pick up the... | |
| Marantz 7007- amp not functioning Is that a general statement or was there something specific to this model? |
