| What's the oldest piece of gear in your system? I have a Sansui AU-717 amp and TU-717 tuner from the late 70's. The amp is now on a passive sub and the tuner is not in use. Most of my system is old because I am poor.Dave | |
| Differences in SACD channels All multichannel Sacd's also have two channel sacd? If you don't want to play the multichannel..then just don't play it. Set your player to default to two channel and thats all it will play every time you insert the disc. You may be a little confu... | |
| Screen Reletive to Speaker My screen is on the wall and my front L/R speakers are 5 feet out with the center speaker at 4 feet out. Sounds fantastic even at this distance. My seating distance is at around 17 feet from my 100 inch screen. Place your speakers as you would for... | |
| I have a general question about surround sound. It's a big deal in that, it may offer the same amount of upgrade to the soundstage that stereo offered over mono. Does it do that at this point and time?, on some disc's yes.I think that down the road (could be a good while), your going to have ma... | |
| greybeards You may also want to take a look at the Vmps 626R's..these use ribbons down to 166HZ. Not maggies but still with that great planer mid/high signature. They also have a pretty good bottom end to them @ around 45HZ.Dave | |
| PCM or Bitstream Pcm uses your players Dac..Bitstream uses your processor's Dac. Most (not all) pre/pro's have the better Dac so you should hear some kind of difference. Do you have a good digital cable? Maybe both Dac's are very close in quality.Dave | |
| weak link/improvement to my system: advice I would take a long and hard look at your room, maybe contact someone like Rives and have them work up a plan for your room.Your system (If you like it's sonic signature at this point) and only dislike a few of it's traits could reap huge gains, m... | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel Dvd players don't play Dvd-audio unless they are also a Dvd-audio player. They will play compressed DD if thats what you mean.Dave | |
| Which is more important? Nice system, you could play around with some tubes for something a little different..But, the next level for you is small steps as your system has gone past mid-fi level IMO. I would also note that with your present quarters you have the same prob... | |
| Question re: HT furniture/set up You have the same problem many of us have, our eyes and ears are pretty much at the same level. How to place the center of the picture and the center channel speaker at eye/ear level? Well, the best I could do was to raise the picture a couple of ... | |
| Apogee speakers repairable? Almost all Apogee models can be repaired, the small/mid-sized models are said to be not to hard to do. The new replacement ribbons from (Graz) are said to sound even better than the stock ribbons.You can find Graz at the Apogee forum. Several memb... | |
| Can I integrate 5Ch Surround with my Stereo setup? Your pre/pro will have level control for all channels for DD/DTS movies. For SACD and DVD-audio surround music..level control for all channels is built into the player. You are good to go!!Dave | |
| Mirage M3-si vs OM-6 The M-3si needs to be out into the room and is very power hungry. If you can deal with this you will have a fine speaker system. I have never listened to the OM-6's.Dave | |
| 7K for preamp,HT processor, source Speaking of McCormack..they have a multichannel pre-amp, I think it runs around $2,000. Most players now days have built in DD/DTS decoders that you could use for movies.Dave | |
| Inactive speakers...some measurements Eldartford, I agree with you now as I did before.Dave |
