sir saltuhin, congrats on your HT & audio set-up, buti ka pa your enjoying both worlds w/ separate set-up.....ang kinis pa ng NAD amp nyo ah :o, is it a C372....... 8)
Title: Re: saltuhin's upgraded audio and ht
Post by: saltuhin on Apr 04, 2006 at 08:44 PM
thanks everyone for your nice comments, as for the gear list here it goes:
    HT -   Yamaha rxv440
              wharfedale diamond 9.5- fronts
              wharfedale diamond 9cs- center
              wharfedale diamond 9.1- surrounds
              DTX 4.15 sub
              philips dvp642k dvd player
     
     Audio- NAD C352 integrated amp
                Monitor Audio B4
                Technics cdp

before I considered upgrading my av receiver to a higher powered one. it's a good thing I was able to buy a separate amplifier for audio. it really is worth all the money. HT performance is quite solid partly due to the big subwoofer.

Hanep...nice set up Saltuhin...why not experiment, during HT listening, tap one pre-out from your yamaha and input it in your Nad 352, this way you can compare the fronts, nad/B4 combo and yamaha/9.5...am sure the NAD/B4 combo will bring in different if not better sonics.  Cheers :)

TonyC, jetok
before I have tried running the NAD and the Yamaha on the 9.5s. Sort of transferring the speaker outputs of the Yamaha and NAD and then listening to what the difference might be. Yun bang try mo yung Yamaha then lipat mo sa NAD, tapos lipat ulit. The 9.5s just couldn't give the sound that i was looking for. It was kind of warm for the NAD.  Then I looked around for speakers, tried the MA.  The B4 made my NAD sing or vice versa. It really is a good match sonically.  Right now I'm running the NAD with the tone defeat switched on and it sure sounds great.

sir,

kawawa naman yung DVD player mo  :-\ nasa ibabaw na ng TV dinadaganan pa ng center speaker. sir hindi ba burden sa DVD player kung nasa ibabaw siya ng TV? diba nag eemit ng dust yung likod ng tube?   
Title: Re: saltuhin's upgraded audio and ht
Post by: MAtZTER on Apr 10, 2006 at 10:40 AM
Di ba the problem is more on the vibration issue than the stability?

The center speaker vibrates so it might be harmful to your DVD player or might affect the playback.

update lang po.

I was able to get hold of a nad c521bee to replace my technics cdp.
Rearranged the gears to avoid putting the center speaker on top of my dvd as suggested by sirs matzter and hanz.

Title: Re: saltuhin's upgraded audio and ht (updated 11/20/06)
Post by: Superman on Nov 21, 2006 at 09:14 AM
hi! i suggest you place the CDP on top of the amp...thanks! :D

Post by: saltuhin on Nov 21, 2006 at 05:19 PM
thanks guys for your nice comments.

skylynx,
the 440 and 9.5 combo is good for ht, medyo wanting lang konti in terms of audio. i was able to get my desired sound dun sa audio from the nad/ma b4 combo. mas lamang in terms sa mids, mas open. just my thoughts.

hi superman,
nice hearing from someone with such a nice audio set-up. i decided to place my amp on top of the cdp for ventilation purposes. i have read from the nad site warning the public on  ventilation issues on the c372 and the c272 models. am just being cautious, but i will do note your suggestion. pag nakapag-upgrade na po ako ng av rack magagawa ko na po siguro yun. thanks.
Title: Re: saltuhin's upgraded audio and ht (updated 11/20/06)
Post by: Superman on Nov 21, 2006 at 05:42 PM
no problem...here's a suggestion, since you have 3 lower layers for your components, why not this:


TV/Display
=======================================
Yamaha Receiver
=======================================
Philips DVD Player on top of
NAD CD Player
=======================================
NAD Integrated Amplifier
=======================================


thanks and enjoy! :D :D :D

saltuhin, I just recently acquired (from my dad  ;D)  a Technics SL-B202 like yours but don't have the user manual. Since I'm a newbie on turntables, I was hoping if I can get a copy of the user manual from you (either by email or LBC sana  ::)) I will cover the expense if by courier. I'm a bit baffled on how to set-up the tracking force and cart alignment. Currently, I fitted it with a Shure M-92E cart/stylus and with just guessing the adjustments, the sound is quite good already though I'm sure there is still a lot of room for improvement if properly adjusted.
Though, I also noticed some random slowing down of speed on certain tracks which I think is caused by the old belt. Do you know where to get a replacement belt for this model? TIA  :)

hi allan1836,

sorry for the late reply, ngayon ko lang ulit kasi nacheck itong thread. regarding cartridge alignment you can use yung mga karton na 2 point cartridge alignment protractor na usually kasama ng new turntables. kung wala kang makuha you can download one, google mo na lang cartridge alignment. sa tracking force kailangang ibalance mo muna yung tonearm kung saan magfloat siya by rotating the counterweight clockwise or counterclockwise then set mo yung counterweight to zero. kunin mo yung 2 grams after that by dialing in 2. baseline pa lang ito, adjust by ear ka na lang. OR you can use a stylus force gauge to get 2 grams na tracking force. you can buy spare belts sa raon, Armstrong pangalan ng store malapit na sa side ng quiapo pedestrian overpass.

hope this helps allan. pag nakuha mo na yan tuloy tuloy na analog journey mo. :)
