| Good Preamp with Digital Input If I remember right, Bel Canto has some analog preamps with their highly regarded DAC installed, and a remote. Hence, a true analog pre-amp with at least one digital input. Check them out. | |
| Problems with Revel B15 Sub You are running the signal through additional cables, connections, and, I suspect, a crossover in the Revel sub. A recipe for degradation of the sound. Does the Revel sub accept high level signal straight out of the monoblocks? If so, that would d... | |
| Low-end Question Based on your description, it does not appear you can connect directly from the receiver out to the TV speakers. Your options would be to then just go straight from the HT/DVD tape out into the TV line in, bybassing really the HT component of the ... | |
| just setting up for the FIRST time... It is hard to beat Signal cable for its value. I got Frank's basic speaker cable for my office system, and I was amazed at the improvement from basic Home Depot zip cords. | |
| SACD & HDCD Jaybo, check your facts. I was under the understanding that while HDCD is not a different format like SACD, there is extra sonic "information" on HDCD discs that can only be retrieved by HDCD compatible DACs. | |

| Tips for warming up Rotel + B&W system? Do you have any power conditioning, upgraded powercords? It has made an unblievable difference for me. If you liked this combo in the store, then the main issues to look at would be, as others pointed out, the room, break in, and the quality of th... | |
| Using Japan 100V Accuphase amp in US 120V. Safe? Did the seller make this argument before the transaction took place? I think he really misrepresented the unit. A 100V unit is clearly not "universal" as it would be fried if plugged into European 240V. I would not follow his recommendation, but s... |
