Oppo 95 with DVDO iScan Duo
Hevac1,I don't have an explanation for the problems I'm having. There are only two reversions to the setup that worked flawlessly for several years that I haven't tried: (1) disconnecting the Sony from HDMI-1 of the Cary and reconnecting the Oppo ... 
Oppo 95 with DVDO iScan Duo
Hevac1 asks, "What SW version do you have in the iScan BTW."I don't know, but I've been thinking about trying to do an update. The problem is should I run into a glitch in a download, past experience suggests DVDO support will not be available to ... 
XLR to RCA to XLR
Rdeckard wrote, "I only want the KUBE on the LF in a biamp'd config. I have read that even if you do not adjust the HF contour on the KUBE, it can still muddy up the wonderful midrange on these speakers just by being in the signal path, which is p... 
Oppo 95 with DVDO iScan Duo
Thanks to Dan Wemmer of Cary who suggested I should try a monitor with a shorter HDMI cable because the cable to the projector might be too long without an HDMI extender, and to Oppo support who suggested video resets for the BDP-95, A/V from both... 
Oppo 95 with DVDO iScan Duo
I tried the Oppo Video 2 without success for either audio or video. I have been successful in getting audio and video from HD-DVR, but if I switch to the Oppo, I usually can't get back to HD-DVR without turning everything off. I'll contact Oppo af... 
XLR to RCA to XLR
I now have Jensen transformers for the 107/2 and 102 KUBEs, plus a spare. I found that sound quality was better with XLR outputs from the transformers to the amps. Since my May '12 post, I've replaced the Proceed Amp 2 & 3 with Proceed HPA 2 &... 
Oppo 95 with DVDO iScan Duo
When I connected the Oppo 95 to the iScan Duo, video and audio of the HD-DVR crashed and neither video nor audio came up for the Oppo. I powered down and disconnected everything, reset the iScan menu, and reconnected the HD-DVR, and that restored ... 
Pure Music 1.88a
Jtrwrace,My iTunes is 11.01, and when I checked that was claimed to be the current version. Is it 11.01 or 11.1?db 
SME Series III or SME 3009
Having read your post here and a series of posts on the Asylum, I've decided to keep the SME Series III with its Ortofon SME 30H cartridge and look for a TD 124 without a tonearm, or try to work out a deal where the seller keeps the SME 3009.db 
Balanced audio switching
Sorry, Riffer, I overlooked the link you provided in your earlier post. I've now seen online balanced switches ranging in price from $180 to $372. The $180 MAD unit seems to offer 4 to 2 pairs of connections, the $192 Kramer 4 to 1, the $373 Goldp... 
Balanced audio switching
Riffer,Can you provide a link or more info on the MAD switch. I've been unable to find anything about it. 
Balanced audio switching
Thanks for the advice, Al. Wayne at Blue Jeans also advised that I go with the passive switch box, so that's what I'll do. I'll also check out MAD.db 
Should I upgrade home theatre to one with HDMI?
If a Blue-ray player like an Oppo 95 is connected via 5.1 analog and the prepro set to bypass aren't Dolby TruHD and DTS HD MA passed through without HDMI?db 
Sony XA5400 v Opp BDP-93 & DVDO Edge
I was surprised to discover I was the OP on this thread. I'm now using an Oppo BDP-95 to output analog to Cary 11a inputs set to bypass mode. SACD output is DSD. The Sony XA5400ES also outputs analog to the Cary 11a for stereo. The Cary 11a output... 
Kef 107 vs 107/2
Since my previous post, I have replaced the 104/2s with 107/2s and 107/2 KUBE. The 107/2s had the surrounds professionally replaced shortly before I bought them. I cross them to the subs at 80 Hz, but in the setup I'm using (analog for an Oppo 95 ...
