XLR to RCA to XLR
Unlike the KUBEs that are integral to the design of the speaker, I think the only purpose of the 200 KUBE is bass boost. I had a 200 KUBE at one time and I don't recall if it had a button you can push to remove the boost circuit, but I suspect it ... 
Oppo BDP-95
I don't actually bypass a Cary Cinema 11a processor, but I do have its inputs set to bypass, so the BDP-95 does the processing. OTOH, I use the volume control of the Cary, and the Cary converts the unbalanced 7.1 inputs to balanced output to the a... 
Oppo BDP 95 vs BDP 105...
Admranger,The 95 does not have the input capability of the 105. I plan to connect DirecTV HD-DVR via HDMI and Mac Mini via USB to a 105. HDMI from the 105 will go to my projector; analog XLR stereo and RCA 7.1 will go to my Cary Cinema 11a as they... 
Oppo 95 with DVDO iScan Duo
I did the resets Oppo suggested, but it wasn't until I installed the Lumagen HDMI extender as Dan Wemmer of Cary had suggested that video through the iSan Duo from both the HD-DVR and Oppo 95 came up on the projector. Must have been an issue with ...

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...
