| Center Channel @ricred1 - have you looked at the PLC 350 for sale on Audiogon? For $2755 sold by tmraudio? It's the first generation, but it may still be an upgrade from your Gold C350. The woofer/mids are similar RDT drivers to the "II" series, but the tweet... | |
| One of the best HDMI cable? I use a 33 foot Redmere for my video processor to projector run. I had to do this because another 23awg Beldon cable wasn't working. Though, I don't know about using Redmere for short run or audio purposes.That being said, I recently discovered ... | |
| Krell S1200 or Yamaha CXA5100? Firmware update on the S1200 is still done through RS232 serial port/cable. Krell has a special software program you can install on a laptop/computer to write new firmware to the S1200. | |
| Krell S1200 or Yamaha CXA5100? Oh, there might be some things that you will have to use the standard COAX digital input for. One example is a source that uses "Dolby Digital Plus". Some others I have found are some very old DVD titles (for some reason, it only works through C... | |
| Krell S1200 or Yamaha CXA5100? The audio quality of the Krell S1200 is going to be significantly superior to anything the Yamaha will be able to produce. I own the S1200 and have auditioned many other HT processors. However, there are some quirks in the S1200 that you’ll have t... | |
| Mcintosh question I don’t know that I would say the signal is degraded by going through a tube amp or preamp. Every piece of equipment affects the sound in different ways. It all depends on what kind of sound you are looking for. Of course, mating a low cost Adcom ... | |
| Mcintosh question 1. Not necessarily. Depends on the source/DAC/CD.2. Yes, the MCD550 has a built-in volume control that you can use.3. The function of a preamp is to provide additional voltage gain that may not be available from the source (to better drive an amp... | |
| To Shield or Not to shield-That is the question!!! Like chrissain suggested, try straight without shield first. If it's too bright sounding, try braiding. I have found that will calm down the harsh/brightness. | |
| Various power cables, which would you put where? Yup. Let's look at the older FI-15:http://www.audiophonics.fr/images2/4609_FURUTECH-FI-15_2.jpg The functional difference is the wire clamping pieces. You can use it, but it's more difficult to get the wires clamped in and the mechanism may be d... | |
| Sound of AVR vs. separates What kind of HDMI cable do you have between the Marantz receiver and your display device. How long is the cable? If it's a really long cable, it could be clipping the square waveforms. What kind of display device. I have had issues in the past ... | |
| Baux Acoustic Panels? Yeah, these are meant more for office type situations. The coefficient of 0,9 means it absorbs 90% at 2000 hz. This is mostly the high midrange and voice area. It's meant to cut down slap echo and voice/noise in the office area. The other freq... | |
| Sound of AVR vs. separates Sounds like you got a defective HDMI transceiver/board in the Marantz. | |
| Sound of AVR vs. separates Try connecting your Oppo or PS4 directly to your display (completely bypass the Marantz receiver). See what 4K modes will work. It could be similar to your Oppo/PS4 not being able to query the final display device for HDCP2.2 / 4K compatibility,... | |
| Best "laid-back" speaker cable & interconnects for all Naim system? What interconnects and power cable are you using. Based on internal pics of your equipment, the Nait5 might be a higher-resolution device, where the Creek might be slower/warmer. I cannot state that for sure since I haven’t heard either equipment,... | |
| Sound of AVR vs. separates @ethos4lyfe - have you tried upgrade the Oppo 203 firmware? I see the following items in the last 2 firmware releases.Jan 20th release- Resolved an HDCP 2.2 failure when connecting to an HDCP 2.2 receiver and an older, non-HDCP 2.2 display.- Reso... |
