| Advise please for best system upgrade under $2,000 RealHiFi, I'd like a universal player(SACD and DVD-A). Any suggestions on a model? Would a tubed output stage help or am I asking too much? Mike, I'm not using expensive cables. I'm embarrassed to say they're just Monster Cables. Do you think upg... | |
| Is a pre/pro considered digtal or analog ? Treyhoss and Lneilb, The B&K Ref 20 pre/pro does have a bypass which keeps the signal analog for stereo, but it converts an analog input signal back to digital whenever the DTS, ProLogic or other processing is selected. I only use processing f... | |
| Is a pre/pro considered digtal or analog ? Lneilb, Makes sense. Do you think I should stick with the analog or try a jitter filter? Thanks. | |
| Is a pre/pro considered digtal or analog ? I agree with the above. I have a B&K Reference 20 preamp/processor that can handle digital or analog inputs and outputs. I used an optical digital cable from my CD digital out to the digital input on the preamp. So the digital signal from the ... | |

| What's your profession? Age? Operations Mgr for a book and software distribution center. Age 46. Got Maggie fever 20 yrs ago. Invested about $6.5K in my 2 channel system, half used from Audigon and half new. I'm all SS now but thinking of switching to tubes, atleast the preamp. | |
| Magnepan 2.7QR vs 1.6? Reb1208, I agree that it's hard to match a sub with planar and electrostatics but there's something very satisfying about the lowest octaves. Also, I can switch off the sub and listen just to the magnepans when I want. The 2.7s's bass extends quit... | |
| Magnepan 2.7QR vs 1.6? Yes, the 2.5Rs (1987) and 2.6Rs (1990) both used a true ribbon tweeter. Both were 2-ways. Then the 2.7 (1994) was a 3-way and used the quasi-ribbon. Reb1208, do you use a subwoofer with your 2.7s? I'm using a Paradigm X-30 Bass Controller with a... |
