    Emotiva A-100

    I’ve not listened to LCDs but I’m curious now. I’ve read their weight can be a problem

    Emotiva A-100

    Call me crazy but I’ve been doing some intense comparison listening between my HE-560 and HD-650 on the A-100 (both from speaker taps) and I’ve found the 650 actually beats the 560 on bass. More distinct layering, feeling to the bass, greater rumble, the whole thing. I am surprised, is this...

    DC Area Meet - April 7th hosted by Gramophone Impressions

    I've recently added this to the chain, mostly to get better volume control and leeway from the A-100. Don't know if it's improved the sound or not but it does sound amazing. Very pleased. Was about $30 from amazon...

    I have the original A-100 without the headphone jack so I run speaker tap adapters and run my 560 right from the taps. I have a picture somewhere I can post later.

    Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners

    Thanks KC. I've read through that before. I'll hunt around for some ferrite and see what happens.
