| Tube or SS for Vocals/Strings Having owned a couple of set-amps and several speakers in the last couple of years>> Well I kept my CJ8xs amps. Hi-power pp triode does it for me with the fewest compromises. | |
| Is the Encore DL-2010 tube preamp phase-inverting? I did have one of 'em about 12 years ago,(great piece.)A close listen should tell you in no time---. Out of phase--the vocal will be just off center,as will the bass be,just off center. Reverse the speaker leads at the speaker to make your compari... | |
| Best position for rear channel. Well I can tell you, when you get that position nailed; you get a rear/center image.---Much like your front/center image. Just move them till you dial in that image. | |
| 7 ch Preamp question You must have been out of town a while?? ___7.1 has been written about for a couple of years. Virtually any new piece has 7.1/,and all for a good reason. It is just more involving.___ Now, yes you need the room for the extra speakers___and yes, th... | |

| What is the best sounding HDCD? My vote John Rutter's Requium. | |
| Audio from a DVD player-that far behind sonically? I have 3 versions of Hell Freezes Over. The cd is #1; The LD is #2 and dvd comes in third.--(I'm sure the vinyl would be even better) I could be wrong but I think the compression scheme for dvd,be the difference. | |

| How do laser disc's look on plasma TV? Don't got no plasma; got a Theta Data 3. I use the bnc composite no adaptors,please. LD's weren't pressed using S- tech so they don't look better using S-. If you get a better picture,the cables aren't of equal quality. But to be expected; dvds lo... | |
| Is a dedicated transport justified? Thanks to Gmood1 for a posible interpretation as to why the low end of a 3 seems to have more slam. I use Syn. Research's $1200 active rca dig. cable; going into Audiomecca dac. I only change transport, using the same cable/ dac. Both transports s... | |
