Can I take that as a complement?

Yes - These are brilliant subwoofers!

Have you ever been downhill mountain biking? Those experienced riders seem to ride smooth and calm, panicking others with their "lack of caution"

You are doing something WRONG for it to run that hot. Check you speakers and cables!

The PS range integrates well for music, however you should consider the WAY better RS range. I will send links to check out

The RS-500 is superb! listeningpost.co.nz/shop/speakers/subwoofers/elac-varro-rs500-subwoofer/

Or unboxing of the RS-700 Here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpu2pqOBpNZngZY (I don't know why I didn't do a video on the RS-500)

@@TLPCHC ok thank i will check it out

@TLPCHC elac Rs500 looks good on paper, but its way beyond my budget, here in india the prizes are already ridiculous..svs sb1000pro is same price as elac ps350

Cable is more stable than wireless. I run this between the wall outlet and the streamer and find it works better then wireless.

Perfect! Buy that man a beer!

Brilliant! I am happy you are enjoying the improvement.

Tribute is better

Yes - Good amps. The whole range is... But two separate boxes does seem t sound better

Yes, it is. Maybe on par with the PB-2000

No

No. 300w, MAX, into 4-Ohms. It sounds (after a few demo's) more like 80watts

Once again? Just chat to the play you purchased it from. Or maybe take it back in for them to see if the fault happens in their store

Actually - YES, I would

@@TLPCHC thank you!

Brillient

Yes.

An amplifier with A & B speakers is splitting the single stereo output to two sets of binding posts. I recommend you use " A " speaker output only as it avoids the potential of inadvertently having one set off, when you expect them both to be on.

This is a component CD player. It plays CD's - that is its only job. You will need both an amplifier and a set of speakers.

This AVR is very old now, so consider a modern replacement like the RX-A2a or RX-A4a. Certainly the Yamaha's sound amazing and better than so many other options. Personally, I don't gel with the Jamo sound, so I am not the best to ask. But at least the Yamaha will be a superb AVR to drive them.

And it re-clocks the signal too. I was extremely skeptical, until I tried this for myself. It made a difference! And I liked the improvement!

@@TLPCHC > And it re-clocks the signal too. No, no it doesn't, and it doesn't even matter, clocking matters at the DAC. > I was extremely skeptical All that cash made your skepticism suddenly evaporate or something? > And I liked the improvement! Really? Did you do a proper blind test, or this is just make-believe?

@@VEC7ORlt Please borrow one and see

@@TLPCHC I'll borrow one when you'll do a blind test. Which is never.

@@VEC7ORlt I have listened with it in the system and not. No need for a blind test, as the difference was obvious. I am not selling a new religion, or invisible friends, it made a noticeable difference. I was a skeptic!

Thank you.

It will work for 1080p (BluRay)

Thank you. I hope you like the channel

Thank you. It is what we do here.

It is! See me strain to move it!

Easy answer. The ELAC's !

They sound superb with the grill on, but slightly more detail with the grille off. No sense of the sound being constrained by the grille in anyway.

You won't be. Make sure you do the software update asap

ProJect Tube Box, or Tube Box DS. Maybe the iFi iPhono 3

Superb

I think you are confused. The MC-462 is three maybe four years old. And no, there is no need to "improve" perfection

@@TLPCHC saw another Openbox video for this model post from 6 yrs ago

@@B.H90 Are you sure it was the older amp?

@@TLPCHC not sure, mc462,right ,?kzbin.info/www/bejne/qofMhIOJrb6mgacsi=PleIRoNPJSz0InPx

The Icon has a huge number of display adjustment options, but no "Off". Try the C-658, as its pre-amp / vol control is better suited to your power amp: Video Here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epXbg5qHpLilZ7c

When music is playing you can chose to either have the cover + meta showing such as the song title, or you can chose to only have the cover or the title showing. And lastly you can chose to have the clock showing. Once you pause your music it goes straight to the clock view, and when you resume playback the cover or whatever you set it to comes back. When nothing is playing the box goes into standby mode after some time, in standby mode you can chose to have one of the 3 clock view modes showing or you can chose to have the screen turned off with nothing showing. So the display can only be fully turned off when it's in standby mode. If you dont like to have the screen on during play back your best option is to set it to the clock view and then turn down the screen brightness as low as possible.

@@artfartzy Thanks art

Thank you, I guess please do. If a box getting tossed aside makes you feel uncomfortable best you don't watch what I do with BlueTooth turntables: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYm3ZYCCndCHeJo

It is the UB-9000 mkII, to overcome the chipset shortage (different DAC's)

Yes. The C-538 is a solid entry level CD player. But it is basic and lacks the dynamics, detail and emotion of the C-568

I guess the official reviewers have more weight in the industry (What HiFi, Stereophile, HiFi News etc). I have had a really good listen though, it is stunning! I can't believe it is only $1,899 in NZ

@@TLPCHC what amp(s) speakers did you test the Icon with?

@@toorop111 I have used the Yamaha AS-1200, Atoll IN80 and McIntosh C-55 / MC-462 pre-power combo

@@toorop111 Speakers: PSB Synchrony & Paradigm Founders 100's

@@TLPCHC the Mcintosh preamp is audio only? Why would anyone buy this if it doesn’t pass thru video?????

You could try via the HDMI. Technically this should work, but SACD and a cheap transport like the Sony 800 does not seem to be a good start from my perspective.

Thanks

No. Black only

Sorry that "Welcome to The Listening Post Unboxing Channel" has confused you into expecting something other than an unboxing video.

@TLPCHC indeed, I'm sorry you're absolutely right. However, the "Listening" side is missing, otherwise the channel should be called welcome to "Unboxing channel." But again, you're right, but we have 10 minutes of bonus then 😉

@@nouvinci8692 The retail store is "The Listening Post". We stock everything you see on this channel and unbox it to share new stuff

@@TLPCHC sorry

Yes - Superb

That is a very complicated set up. Try just a pair of Paradigm Founders 80's

@ why the founders?

@@toorop111 They are amazing floor standing speakers that are easy to drive, sound superb and don't require a subwoofer

Thanks

SVS don't do anything like this one. Maybe the 16-Ultra(?)
