Hi Stehno:
Thanks a lot for your input. I am really happy to hear from someone who has contributed a lot to the forums over the years.
I did not do item 1 above, but I really worked on the other items.
I use eight separate 30 amp circuits with either Porter ports or Alan Kaftons' receptacles. They Lexicon uses a King Cobra v2 to its own SA Linestage with Elrod sig 3 to the wall. I use Quattro fil and Valhalla xlr to the amps. I would try the Starsound, but I am already buried in several layers of Aurios Pros, (for the component stand and under the Lexicon). The Lexicon currently sits on an Ultra, then Aurios Pros, then a Svelte and on top of the svelte is a Stillpoints. It barely fiits in the 19" or so I have for the shelf.
To rephrase my question, when I have to use the Lexicon for my DVD, Satellite and soon to arrive HDTV recorder using Digital RCA, what would you consider having done to the Lexicon to become more like a preamp in its sonic attributes yet still retain the bass management and speaker distances etc.
When I am in bypass mode, I really like the sonics of Dan Wrights CDP or something of that caliber. I was hoping to get the Lexicon to emulate that when forced to use other components using digital ins.
