In Reply to: Denon AVP-A! (AVR-8000) vs Sony TAE-9000ES.Am i upgrading or downgrading ? posted by Yiangos on March 12, 1999 at 01:41:49:
I was going for the Sony just for the sake of upgrading !As for my dac,i am using a Audio Synthesis DAX Decade.We're talking here a better than Theta Gen V dac.The rest of my system is TDL Reference Standard loudspeakers and Musical Fidelity A-370 mk2 power amp.Cables are VDH MC-Silver and XLO Signatures in both h.t. and hi-fi. After reading your comments,i've decided to split my system in two.I mean separate h.t. and hi-fi which i think it would be a great upgrade.I know which cd transport to buy,so what i actually need is a pre and perhaps a better power amp even though the MF is a great one.I am between Audio Research LS-25 and Electrocompaniet EC-4.5.
Any comments or suggestions?
I decided to split my system...telling myself I wasn't really into HT and just wanted something that was OK. Now I need another $60,000 just to get to the OK level. This hobbie is addicting! But for $3200 I sure got alot at Onecall...DVD player.....HK reciver.....7 speakers w/duel subs....good system for the bathroom I guess...hehe.

Must have HUGE bathrooms. How big is the TV in there?
No TV there...........yet. Hate missing a part while....reading.
The Alantic Tech 350 system is a really good buy for the money....put a pair of Spicas in place of the L&R fronts...better for music, but for HT a no go compaired to having the matching L&R with the matched center speaker, plus they do some things better than the Spicas. Will put my money into a frount Projector before upgrading the sound to the AT 370 or new AT 450EX(better Xovers).
