| Should I upgrade home theatre to one with HDMI? Thanks Tcatman.Hopefully this has helped the OP, Kmw614214 too!I will tackle the recommendations in the near future.BTW: the JRiver stuff is beyond what I'm looking to do, to be frank, but thanks for pointing out the option. Just one more thing I ... | |

| Topnotch BluRay Concert..... Thank you for the explaination, JP1208. I appreciate it.Due to WAF, I had to move my subs yet again this weekend. I will need to do some listening to see what the result of the movement is. Then do some more tweaking to see if I can improve the so... | |
| Topnotch BluRay Concert..... JP1208: Are you referring the heartbeats at the beginning song of the 1st DVD of the Gilmore DVD? I guess I wasn't impressed by the bass so that means I have some work to do with bass management... | |
| Thinking of moving from AVR to pre/pro and amp Well, I think we have found part of the problem... I went to my Ear/Nose/Throat Dr. as I've had some tinnitus issues that have been getting a bit worse. He ran me through the hearing tests and the results showed a big loss at 4k hz and it goes on ... | |
| Thinking of moving from AVR to pre/pro and amp Robr45: Room correction is something I've wondered about. My room is an odd duck, no doubt. However, thanks to a lot of the advice here, I have had some good experiments this past week.Subs are now in the front again, right in front of my speaker ... | |
| Oppo BDP 95 vs BDP 105... dbphd: I'm aware that the 95 does NOT have inputs. Hence my statement on what I'd do if I did get a 105 == something very similar to what you are planning, though my processor is a much, much, much lesser processor than yours.I'm just not sure it ... | |
| Should I upgrade home theatre to one with HDMI? Tcatman: Sorry, I may still not understand, but I'll give it a shot.I don't like what the Rotel does taking 2-channel input and running it through it's DSP for 5.1 sound. If I didn't have small front speakers, I'd run 2 channel bypass but I have t... | |
| Topnotch BluRay Concert..... Just ordered Gilmore at RAH. Should be interesting to listen to with some of the tweaks I've done to my system. | |
| Oppo BDP 95 vs BDP 105... If I had a BDP 105 instead of my BDP 95, I'd feed my Wadia i170 digital output to the 105 via a digital audio cable. I'd do the same for the DirecTV HD DVR audio output.Using the Sabre DAC vs. what is in the 2005? era Rotel AVR I have (RSX-1056) s... | |
| Should I upgrade home theatre to one with HDMI? "Admnranger have you chosen the DACS of the Oppo over the Room management and DACS of your Rotel by ear?"No I have not. My Rotel doesn't handle the new codecs on the blu-rays so I let the Oppo do the heavy lifting. For cd's, I let the Sabre chipse... | |
| Thinking of moving from AVR to pre/pro and amp I moved the subs back to right in front of the L&R speakers.I haven't done too much listening yet, but for a movie it was better than having them spaced wide.This week I'll have more time to do some listening. We'll see what happens. | |
| Thinking of moving from AVR to pre/pro and amp Imhififan: I have set the crossover switch on the subs to direct. However, at the very start of all this it was not set to direct so your point is well taken.Soix: I will try the speaker and sub placement issues you described.Internetmin: I did us... | |
| Thinking of moving from AVR to pre/pro and amp So I have had some time to digest the differences with the speakers up on the VTI (unfilled) stands and the subwoofers in two different configurations. I now have the crossover for the sub and front speakers at 80hz.So far I like what I'm hearing ... | |
| CES 2013 - 4k and Ultra HD video thoughts Thanks for the post, Avgoround. I'm struggling with buying a new Pansonic plasma (GT65) or waiting another year or two. It's not that my Sony XBR4 52" sucks, but the price point for a much larger screen has come down so much that it just makes it ... |
