    What's a step from a 1075?

    I've got the upgradititius bug Currently running a rotel 1075 bi amping a set of 683 s2. Centre is a htm62 s1. Currently passing 120w x2 per tower. Looking at upping this to at least 150w to 200w x2 per tower. So looking at either a 250 x 2 or if lower amperage then a 5 channel that can do 150...

    Bait and switch tactics

    Discovered a bait and switch tactic from one of the audio stores in Edenvale. They know the equipment that are in demand and put up those on gumtree for a great price. When you phone in for the items they just so happen to be sold on that morning. Then the switch:  another slow selling item on...

    Advise on CD player

    Ran this test yesterday.  Switched between the 2 sources whilst playing the exact segment on each player - the ultimate test.  Check all settings were the same on each mode on the AVR. All i can say is that there was a difference and it brought a smile to my face. Btw, discs where Toni...

    Advise on CD player

    Did some tests by switching the AVR to pure direct and listening to the PS3 and then the CDP one after the other on that setting.  I THINK, I did hear a difference.  I am going to try this again this evening but with the same CD in each and trying to listen to the exact same segment of the CD...

    Advise on CD player

    When would a good cdp make a difference to a system? Direct to an integrated amp?

    Advise on CD player

    I am looking at buying a Marantz CD player and would like some advise. I current am running my PS3 as a CDP through an HDMI cable to my Denon 4200.  My question would then be:  would a dedicated CDP DAC be better than the Denon? Thanks

    Bi amp or higher power 2 channel

    I don't think so.  Checked this with a friend who is an electrical engineer. The 5 channel no amped is actually pushing more power into a tower than the 200w x 2.

    The TRUTH why modern music is garbage

    Great video. I've said it do many times that nowadays it's about quantity and not quality. The real culprits are the producers that take any useless artist and using digital technics make them into "stars". Most artist can't even play out live because they actually cannot sing.

    Bi amp or higher power 2 channel

    I've been thinking about going for a higher powered amp recently. My setup is in my profile notes below.  The question is,  is it better to go with a bi amp 125w X 2 into per tower or will a, let's say, 200w into into a tower using the connectors be better. My listening is 70% stereo. I guess...

    That line is double fused. I have one in the engine bay and one on the fused distribution block. The empty slot on the right is for the meth injection and I still need to put that setup back in

    We have a zak speed here in woodmead.  Will check out their rca range. Was thinking about another wiring conundrum,  running an amp at 2 ohm via parallel wiring is probably a no for subs given the huge amount of power needed for those extra low frequencies however splits should be fine? I'm...

    Thanks for the heads up. Yeah,  phoenix gold z500.4 Getting a soundstream amp wiring kit today from autostyle. Got a cheapo for just the power/ earth and remote but thinking I'd rather get the soundstream because the rcas are better quality and i can use them rather than throwing away...
