| What is it about the Cary SLI-80? I've been back and forth with and without tubes. I think the hastle of owning tube amps is the reason for the frequent sales. As much as I love the sound, I'm ready to let my tube amp go again. This time in favor of a multichannel music and movie ... | |
| Budget DVD Player Recommendation Denon DVD-1940ci I have the 1930ci and it beat my Oppo 970 so the Oppo is gone. The newer 1940ci (as well as the 1930ci) got amazing reviews in the European hi-fi mags.This $400 DVD player (w/ DCDi by Faroudja) is available on Amazon for $127 | |
| Home Theater 101 - Subwoofer question? Stevecuss,Yes I'm looking used, mostly on Craigslist, to save shipping costs. Something will show up eventually. | |
| Home Theater 101 - Subwoofer question? This mid-fi TV/movie system is not my main concern, so the emphesis is on cheap. While I appreciate the HSU, REL and the like suggestions I think the Mirage, Paradigm and similar cheap subs are more to my liking. I will continue to keep an eye out... | |
| Home Theater 101 - Subwoofer question? To clarify: I would run speaker wire from amp to monitors, then from monitors to sub (providing it has speaker level controls). Is this correct?Do you have a cheap subwoofer recommendation for my modest system? | |
| OPPO 83 and Benchmark DAC 1 I couldn't find the articles on getting the best sound from an Oppo. The 970HD is considered the best of the Oppo's for redbook cd playback, but with a limited video section, so maybe its focus on audio allowed such a connection to produce better ... | |
| OPPO 83 and Benchmark DAC 1 I'm no cable expert and haven't experimented much. I've used Kimber Kable for ever. I like its punchy bass and articulate nature and its lean and clear midrange. I've used Audioquest and Linn for periods of time but keep returning to Kimber. My di... | |
| OPPO 83 and Benchmark DAC 1 Johsti,The L&R is definitely higher quality from everything I have read. You will have to go into the audio menu section and turn off center and rears to devert all info to L&R (if you have no multichannel amplification for your audio). Th... | |
| OPPO 83 and Benchmark DAC 1 That is how I used my DAC1 w/ an Oppo. Coax to DAC1 for CD and movies. L&R analogue out (better than the stereo out) to preamp for everything else. | |
| OPPO 83 and Benchmark DAC 1 Al the DACs are generaly similar at this price and w/ this transort so I'd pick the one with the features you need, and stop chasing the carrot at the end of the stick. You will be happy with the upgrade with anything by a Benchmark, Lavry, PS Aud... | |
| OPPO 83 and Benchmark DAC 1 Dne,I believe the posting is if the Oppo and DAC1 are a good combo. Hell yes. | |
| OPPO 83 and Benchmark DAC 1 Awhile back I had the DAC1 mated with aa Oppo 970. I felt it was a match made in heaven. The Oppo makes a good transport, but you will only have 2 channel audio w/ the external dac. The Oppo/DAC1 was an outstanding combination for music. The Oppo ... | |
| Very best 5 ch amp to feed a complete PSB system PSB and NAD are considered a perfect match from reviewers as well as the manufacturers mating these in systems. I'd seriously look at NADs Master Series. | |
| Replacement CD on a tight budget? Another option is a vintage CD Player like the Magnavox CDB-492. What makes this 1989 CD player so special? How about being made by Philips utilizing the TDA1543 dual 16 bit DAC and Philips CDM4/19 swing are transport w/ glass lens. The 1543 DAC h... | |
| Replacement CD on a tight budget? Pgawan2b,Funny you think the 980 is better than the 970. When both were both available from Oppo, before the 970 was discontinued, "The Absolute Sound" has said the 970 sounded better than the 980, but the 980 had better picture. The 980 was harsh... |
