| Setup question Actually if a cable run would work for you, you could run an Opticis fiber optic USB cable - thin and flexible and will go a long, long distance. | |
| Office System -- Low Volume Speakers if you've still got any energy for the hunt, check out the monitors from NSM/Rolefirst order crossovers and acoustic suspension cabinets meaning no ports which greatly simplifies placement - they do need some juice but the Vincent should take care... | |
| Footers - isolation or resonance draining Great post Aball - very cool DIY ideas!FWIW in my experience I have found that platter players (CD, DVD, BD) usually benefit most from tweaks - and respond to the broadest range. So the first comments are specific to thatAs Aball points out, the i... | |
| Best Diana Krall album...........is??? I have all the albums too...I think she is a great player and a fine performer (seen her live a few times) and I like her take on the chestnuts as well as her new material. Her band is probably the best trio playing today - all very gifted.Girl In... | |

| First Steps into Computer Audio Thnx - very interesting read. You've got a little of everything and a lot of no one really knows - would love the chance to read the raw responses as well. | |
| Latest Pre Pro with all the new codecs Integra, Onkyo, Marantz, NAD are someLots of recent threads here - do a search | |
| First Steps into Computer Audio Guys - just for history. Apple introduced FW400 - it was very cool at the time since we were living in the bad old days of SCSI. But the WinTel world (remember that) didn't like it (OK they hated it) because they had to pay a royalty for each comp... | |
| What processor? A bit more background on KR4s point - AudysseyPro software can only be accessed and implemented by a certified Audyssey installer - think of it as an ISF calibration for your sound. Supposedly adds considerably to what one can accomplish with the ... | |
| home theatre receiver under $1,000 I admire your drive for simplicity and aversion to geegaws. Just keep in mind that HT is essentially complex and these receivers are designed to work like Swiss Army knives with all the options one might need.At your price point it is tough to bea... | |
| Why USB to SPDIF and not optical? There is no "valid" reason. It's a question of well the solution is implemented on a unit by unit basis. Apple has hung its hat on optical and most everyone seems very happy with the results they are getting from the Mini using the best Toslink ca... | |
| What processor? I am sure that the Halcro will work fine. Suggest you look at the Panasonic 30,35,50 and 55 or the Sony S550 for bang for the buck.Haven't heard the Marantz but they have had an excellent rep for a long time. Looking at the spec sheet the main dif... | |
| What processor? Kal - agreed - however Audioblazers questioned was do I decode in my BD player or do I replace my pre/pro so I can use it for decoding.Given the decision he is trying to make and the fact that one can decode at either end (ie neither solution is "... | |
| What processor? Kal is correct - theoretically the decoding should be identical wherever it takes place.BUT - and this was huge for me - by decoding at the pre/pro you only need one (1) HDMI cable from the BD to the pre. And that cable carries both 7.1 audio and ... | |
| Integra processors good? The Integra does not have a provision for bi-amping the rears. I guess if the speakers are set up that way you could just have at it - maybe vertical biamp - and see if you like it.As far as speaker placement. There is a lot of information here on... |
