| Onyko TX-NR809 Only you know if it sounds good to you. In terms of reliability, I have had the 805 for several years and I never have had one time where it did not perform perfectly. No resets, no dropouts, no overheating. I use it only as a surround processor a... | |
| Advice re: Entry level CD Player I agree with Buconero117 about the Sony SCD-CE595. However you can no longer get it from Sony or any other retailer I have found. However, I did see it on ebay for reasonable prices (none of them are mine, mine is not for sale). I had one, sold it... | |
| Youtube Music Videos. Try the latest videos from the Java Jazz Festival on Youtube. Surprisingly good sound and good camera work. There is a whole range of artists performing. | |
| Any experiences with Modwright SWL9.0SE ??? I have had nothing but pleasure from this pre-amp. In my system it is perfect. | |
| Opting for no CDP -- only to regret it? I did the same. I was lucky and found an older CDP-the Sony SCD-CE595 direct from Sony which plays great 2 channel SACD and CD for $60. I can also run the digital output to the same DAC I currently use. It's a good option to just throw on a CD, or... | |

| DIY ICs Most will float the ground at the terminal end and ground it at the source end. | |

| Von Schweikerts for HT: setup and combination. I have a similar but not identical system of speakers. I have the VR-4JRs, the LCR 15, and the TS-150s for 5.1. I use the Audyssey system in the Onkyo receiver plus tweaking with a RS meter. I have placed VR-1s as sides and like them better but am... | |
| Tube Pre-Amp for Class D amps I am using a Modwright tubed pre-amp with Wyred4sound class D amps (and before that Bel Canto class D amps) and think they complement each other very well. | |
| Von Schweikert VR-33 I am curious. Since you already bought them and are awaiting delivery, what is the reasoning behind asking opinions now? You will be biased for or against them before they even arrive. I think any opinion expressed here will be potentially destruc... | |
| Class D amps It is difficult to evolve a system with proper synergy (I admit a term used too often). However, the room-source-preamp-amp-speaker combination is critical. I found that the Wyred4sound Class D amps when paired with my Modwright preamp works well.... | |
| A question for Maggie owners Sorry, I've been out of circulation for a few days. I really appreciate all the information. The guidance and advice is priceless. Many of you speak from direct experience-exactly what I wanted. Now, the hunt! Any and all other ideas are welcome.... | |
| A question for Maggie owners Thanks Koestner. A good description and the kind of answer I am looking for. |
