| Amp Hook up Question? I don't think there is a good way for you to do this unless you have balanced outputs for all five channels. For balanced outputs, there is a unique way to use two amps. The idea was unique enough to be granted a patent on June 22, 1999. (Patent# ... | |
| Sony SCD-C555ES good for redbook? I can just say that it performs better on redbook CDs than my Rega Planet so you could immediately say it deserves a B+ or A- rating. Of course, there are so many other options. But, for its price range, $575 delivered, I don't imagine there would... | |
| David Gray White Ladder anyone? Yep, I love White Ladder. Great new artist. I've had as much or more enjoyment from his DVD-Video "Live at the Point" of a live performance in Dublin. Fantastic show. He has great energy and presence on stage. (The only negative about the show is ... | |
| Kaleidoscope patterns on dvd? I was trying to think of how you could use the Samsung for the light show and still have high quality audio. I think you've figured it out. Make a CD-R to play in the Samsung while you listen to the real CD in your reference player!! | |
| Kaleidoscope patterns on dvd? I had a Samsung DVD-N501 DVD player for a while. It is a NUON enhanced player with more powerful video processors that most players. It has a cool mode for audio playback. I think it is called VLM (Virtual Light Machine.) It creates all different ... | |
| RPTV with combination HT and Audio systems? I used 1" x 1" wood to build a large frame in which I placed 1" duct board by using thick duct tape. This duct board is available at your local contractor supply housein 4' x 10' sheets for about $25. It is foil backed and has 1" of compressed ins... | |
| Confused about 7.1 Formats i think you have it right: a 7.1 preamp can do 7.1 and down. | |
| Balance control vs. Speaker placement My system slightly favors the right. After alot of experimenting, I realized that the reasons are that my hearing is not as good in my left ear and that I have drapes on the left wall and not the right. (My slight hearing loss is primarily in the ... | |
| Confused about 7.1 Formats There are no Dolby or DTS 7.1 formats.The DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 format actually delivers a discrete rear center channel.Dolby Digital EX Matrix 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 both encode the rear channels in a manner similar to Dolby Pro Logic so that a ... | |
| Bass Management Question check out the Outlaw Audio ICBM at www.outlawaudio.comIt is a bass management unit that has had favorable reviews. I believe it would pass the .1 content to the subwoofer when it was present. At the same time, it will pass the bass (at the crossov... | |
| Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS In the past, I was selling quite a few MFSL CDs on ebay. I encouraged the use of PayPal. After all, it was quick and free!!! Now that there is a 2.9% fee, I think it really depends on the situation. If the seller is really needing money and doesn'... | |
| Reducing my effective room size If it were me, I would find a way to convince my wife that actually adding a wall (maybe with french doors in the middle) was the answer. My room was 14' x 26' and I added a wall to make my audio room 14' x 20'. That left my wife a 14' x 6' foyer ... | |
| Passive, Balanced, Remote Pre? I think my Adcom GFP-750 preamp sounds very very good. Now, I don't have any comparison experience with it against other passive preamps so I can't argue with "Lthkeepr." It has one balanced input (for CD) and one balanced output. You should find ... | |
| Is it just me? For me, it has been Pat Coil "Steps". It is a great sounding jazz instrumental CD from Sheffield Labs. I finally bought his other CDs but none of them clicked for me like "Steps" | |
| Sony SCD-C555ES good for redbook? Now that I'm back to the Rega Planet, I can tell that the Sony had a more open soundstage, more musical presentation. The only other one they had was a display model. I may get another one from someone else. I emailed the ebay seller who had some ... |
