DVI-HDMI...
I run with adaptor from Prtsexpress, no problems 
lots of channels: biamp or no?
I wouldnt bother to bi amp surrounds unless they were full range and for a music surround, for movies I dont think the cost vs benefit is really justifiable. If you are gonna cross over speakers at a limited frequency then why bother as the amp is... 
Vandersteen 5a or Krell Lat-1's
Yea thats whats called a high class problem! 
A/B Vinyl/Digital
If it is strangw to embrase the format that 99.9999% of all modern music is produced on then perhaps you are the strange one, I own and love them both.........and both have strength and weakness but no true music lover IMO can turn a blind eye to ... 
Vandersteen 5a or Krell Lat-1's
Vandersteen 5A all the way Krell isnt a real p;ayer in speakers, and they cant put there hands in too many things and hope they all are as good as can be. Krell makes amps, pre-amps, integrated amps, speakers, movie processors, disc players and ev... 
How does smoke effect speakers?

Best "dark side of the moon"
I have several versions on Vinyl up to the 30th aniv pressing and my SACD blows them away as it sounds just as good if not better and has no snap crackle pop. Often Vinyl is best way to go but this time it wasnt so for me. 
Sota Reflex Clamp Loses Contact with Record
I just hold the suspension with my fingers forming a clamp with my thumb below table and my fingers holding the top so the springs dont really move when I push the clamp down onto album, I never placed anything under it and never bottomed anything... 
5.1 vs 7.1
Just because there isnt technically 7.1 material doesnt mean you wont benefit from its use, in a larger room the extra speakers and matrixed info does make for a better and more exciting experience. What size room has more to say about the proper ... 
can I use a mark levinson pre-amp with my rotel
You could hook up pre to any RCA input on the Rotel but its likely a pretty silly idea because the Rotel is still gonna add its sound signature to the Levinson pretty much defeating the purpose IMO but you could always try it and see what you think. 
18 months later, VPI Scoutmaster......
Actually its my dads table so I dont have the manual and seeing how he is more a music lover than a audiophile I just wanted to pass along tips to him. 
Universal Remote and Lutron Lighting?
Yes its possibe but is the Lutron RF? If its not you will need a remote that does hybrid or both RF and IR output, Harmony sells remotes that work with many systems for lights, screens and such. I have a older Sony AVS3000 tht has light buttons fo...
