| Revel Studio versus Parsifal Encore Thanks. This is very helpful. I am getting S/N from seller to verify tweeter version. Verity quote for the platform is more like $600 - I will look at the Symposium platforms instead. Finish is indeed a winner - my sub and center and audio rack ar... | |
| Advice for speakers under $4K for mixed use Silverline audio are fine speakers in that range used. Currently one Sonata mkiii is listed. I sold my LaFolia's for 3,500 (too cheap as it turned out).If you want to go a step up you can get Revel Studio's close to that range (I paid 4K for mine ... | |
| Bel Canto verrsus Odyssey Stratos Low frequency rsponse is less of a concern for my center channel, which is all about vocals/midrange. I have been convinced by these comments it is worth a try blending amps - keep the heavy monsters for front L/R and inserting a bel canto mono in... | |
| Bel Canto verrsus Odyssey Stratos This has been very helpful. It sounds like I might get more clarity and transparency on my center channel with a Bel Canto, which is precisely what I am looking for. LF is less of an issue so this would all play to the strenghts of the Bel Canto. ... | |

| High Rez audio over HDMI In fact, I thought about it. Especially given that a used 861 really can't be had for anything below 7K it appears. Adding in 3K for a HD621 for a 621 puts it out of my leauge. I am using a Sony XA5400 ES for SACD/CD and a Pioneer BDP 09 FD Blu Ra... | |
| Blu ray and SACD Separting 2channel and multi channel makes little sense (unless you want to outfit two different physical spaces with sound equipment - may be one listening and one video room). The reason is you can easily integrate a state of the art two channel... | |
| Blu ray and SACD Neilspeed, I was in your position 6 months ago and would have bought the Denon universal had it been available then. However, I was impatient and went the two box route and bought a Pioneer BDO 09 FD for blu ray (about 2K), and a Sony XA 5400 ES f... | |
| Furman 20 or 20i Thanks all. I just picked up an old model reference 20 on ebay for cheap and have high expectations.... | |
| Outboard Dac's...Do they make a big difference? In my experience an outboard dac is one of the highest return upgrade investments you can make. | |
| My Blu-Ray HDMI conundrum Quick update. I decided to go all out and buy a Pioneer BDP-09FD, which allegedly sets the standard for blu ray analog multi channel out. To hedge my bet I got it at a price I could resell it for, in case it disappointed. The Pioneer analog setup ... | |
| Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83 Have not read the thread, but I can tell you this. On the video side of things Blu Ray is worlds apart from DVD. Audio - including Tru HD is far less impressive and I frankly hear vey little improvement over a traditional DTS soundtrack. This is m... | |
| My Blu-Ray HDMI conundrum Thanks for suggestions everyone. The solution is obvious: First get myself an Oppo BDP-83 and do a shootout against the Denon over HDMI. Then compare the Oppo HDMI out with its 5 channel analog out (I have plenty top notch cables lying around). Be... | |
| Will clock upgrade improve HDMI output I reread my message and I said "I have no doubt to question his integrity". This could be miscontrued as suggesting I am questioning his integrity (slip of the keyboard). What I meant is I do NOT question his integrity. | |
| Will clock upgrade improve HDMI output Obviously he says it will improve the signal/sound. I have no doubt to question his integrity (I asked Dan @ MOdwright about the clock and he suggested upgrading the clock would probably improve digital out over HDMI as well). However, I don't thi... |
