[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Denon DRA-395

2006-05-15 Thread jonheal
I'm sure this unit hardly qualifies as audiophile to some, but I was wondering if anyone has any feedback on this particular item. Right now, I'm using ADCOM components that are nearing 20 years in age. From time-to-time, I get noise due to aging mechanical contacts in the source switch. By

Perhaps a little of both? If you can solder, get a 5V-3A linear. The Condor Medical Grade is only $10 more than the standard Condor or PowerOne: http://tinyurl.com/o6had And add a power entry inlet/filter/fuse module: http://www.schaffner.com/components/en/product/productL22.asp (for

I like the fact that it's stereo :-) Here's a nice review: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/frr.pl?ramps1080742540openflup114#11 The last reply was interesting, comparing the Denon to some older receivers. -- Skunk

Here was my sub out jack when using the Sonic Impact t-amp: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=105051postcount=17 I figure it's about as non-audiophile as you can get! It seemed to work ok with the sub level being controlled by SB remote, but I'm sure the DENON would be more ideal.

Further f/u on the Swan S200A's... apparently this last batch is BURGUNDY, with piano black (and possibly other colors) available in the future. Upon further listening, I must say these speakers are INCREDIBLE... even rivaling my Martin Logan mains for transparency and detail. They also put
