| Best Way to Spend ~ $2000 for System Improvement I believe you should start with dedicated AC lines; you want to isolate your system from all devices and appliances in your house.

| Best Way to Spend ~ $2000 for System Improvement I agree that amp is a keeper. Also agree an active preamp would be the component to add for a change in dynamics and detail.Are your speakers resting on the floor? To get faster, tighter bass, they need to be on footers or spikes.The best way to l... | |

| Rogue Cronus Magnum (hum/noise) Try using the amp on a different circuit not shared with appliances. | |
| Analogy Records A lot of haters making comments on their website. From my knowledge of working in the audio biz, mixing down from the original multi-track to a 1/4" half track tape results in a master. So they are selling masters, but what is not mentioned is t... | |
| Rogue Cronus Magnum (hum/noise) What is your power situation? Do you have a dedicated AC line or are you using power conditioning? Some noise is normal thru the line stage, but the noise through your phonostage is not normal. All the Rogue phono sections I have heard are very qu... | |

| Lo-Fi, Mid-Fi or Hi-Fi- What's your system and why? I wouldn't consider Parasound or Rega mid-fi gear. And without a doubt, Richard Vandersteen builds speakers that would fall into the "HiFi" category.I think maplegrovemusic said it best as far reproducing a recording faithfully. | |
| What's happened to Taters ? Yes, Zd disappeared around the the time of the new Audiogon format. | |
| how to connect yamaha rx-a3050 to a mcintosh mc206 amp. elevick is right. Send the Fronts and the Center speaker to the Mac. This would be an easy setup to get you going right now.Then learn more about the Mac, because it can drive all your speakers. | |
| how to connect yamaha rx-a3050 to a mcintosh mc206 amp. I looked at the back of the 3050,Pre Out Front goes to your Mac. Then hook up front speakers to Mac.On 3050, rear speakers hook up to Surround Back.Center speaker hooks up to Center.You will need to use the menus to adjust the gain and type of sou... | |
| Changed amps - center image moved Are you using any acoustic treatments on the front wall between your speakers? And how far away from the wall are your speakers?Some absorbtion between the speakers can help with a more focused image, along with distance between the speaker and wa... | |
| What happened to class H amp technology???? Thanks for a great explanation, bombaywalla. The Carver SS amps were a Class G design; high power and they ran cool. | |
| WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX bassdude, I agree that the FedEx policy sounds ridiculous, but with Hifi gear, it's always safer to double-box. As a former UPS employee who worked on the line sorting and unloading trucks, knowing how those packages are handled behind the scenes,... | |
| up to $2,500 to spend............ What is your current CDP?I'll second the Schiit Yggdrasil. It's a multibit ladder DAC, and although I've only read about it, multibit would present a more natural sound from digital.Plus a 15 day return policy. |
