| For streaming Spotify and Tidal will a DAC improve quality over a Cromecast @loomisjohnson thanks that answers my question. I'm very happy with the sound. It makes sense that the optical would just port over the digital signal to the Rotel which would then translate it. | |
| Budget hi-fi and vintage audio gear I’ve had amazing success on Craigslist. Often people don’t know/care what they are selling (dumping dead parent’s audio gear or an estate sale) or just want/need to sell gear asap on account of moving, WAF, etc. I bought a mint Rotel RSX-1550 A/V ... | |

| Vandersteen 5 Thanks everyone I'll report back once I remove and send back. I've ordered the batteries from amazon. | |
| Vandersteen 5 @tomic601 I just ordered 8 Energizer 10-yr lithium batteries from amazon. I'll prob wait unit mid-late dec to send them in as I'll be on vacation then. Will def take photos before unhooking - I don't want to mess that up. I've been listening to a ... | |
| Vandersteen 5 @tomic601 Thank;'s for the suggestion - I've ordered the RS sound meter. @stringreen @audioconnection Thank you both I've set the compensation screws to all neutral only 1 and 2 where not strait up. I'm planning on sending the batteries in after ... | |
| Vandersteen 5 I think I've got everything up and running to a decent degree now. I've got the LFE set up for home theater and it sounds great. V5 and rear 2Cesigs set to larger no subs (currenlty trying to sell them). When I play music on two channel the V5 - 2... | |
| Mccormack DNA-225 platinum @mitch2 Thanks - I’ve got everything up and running and the V5 - Mccormack combo sounds amazing. The picture is indeed my amp - good eye - per the guys at Mccormack the transformer is a Plitron and they also mentioned Jensen. The 225 is signed on ... | |
| Mccormack DNA-225 platinum @gdnrbob - Audioquest cables it is!@mitch2 Thanks so far the amp and the speakers sound amazing. So I'm a happy camper. Steve signed the back that's how I found out the 225 was platinum. I'll check the bottom tonight. attached is a link to a bird... | |
| Mccormack DNA-225 platinum @Kmckenn - just replied to you on the other thread. But, wow we do have nearly twin systems. So far at least everything sounds great or at least better than my old setup (which I also loved) I have some cheap monster cable. The Mccormack came with... | |
| Vandersteen 5 @kmckenn I think I've got the 5's dialed down, but I'm not sure it it's planing the LFE signals. I think I need to keep playing with the settings. I'll set the 2Ce's as large and see how they sound. I'm only planning on using surround for movies ... | |
| Vandersteen 5 Last night I set the High-pass filter to 10k (per McCormack) and well WOW...The Vandersteen's just came to life. The Subs are now firing and I swear the high's and the mid's sound better. While I loved how by 2CE sig's sound the 5's sound much bet... | |
| Mccormack DNA-225 platinum @jafant - He said it was extensively updated in the last five years. I'm not sure when it was originally produced. @gdnrbob - 10k is the impedance output - My filter goes that low (just checked a photo I took). I'm going to try it tonight and see... | |
| Vandersteen 5 @gdnrbob - beleive it or not mine actually go down to 10K (I just looked at a picture of my high pass filter and 10k is the lowest setting). Hopefully that will do the trick. I'm going to try changing it to that setting when I get home tonight. | |
| Mccormack DNA-225 platinum Thanks everyone. I called up McCormack this morning they confirmed that they made considerable upgrades to the amp fairly recently including upgraded connectors,and that the driver board should be good for a long time.They were super nice and real... |
