| Pre with Pass-Thru for HT Processor I use the Adcom GFP750 for exactly this purpose. It has a HT bypass, and I have it hooked up just that way - the DAC goes right to the CD input, and the processor goes to the processor input, which goes right to the amp output without the Adcom do... | |
| Amp recommendations: Wanted, Bass and Dynamics One other suggestion - MIT speaker cables can sometimes limit dynamics and punch, not just the upper frequencies. | |
| Which system? EAD - THETA - CLASSE Never heard EAD. I've directly compared Theta to Classe on a number of occasions. Classe just doesn't stand up. I know a dealer who uses Theta dvd and processor in their $400,000 home theater system. Works well. I also use a Theta player (Carmen) ... | |
| Your Favorite Holiday Recordings Are? Well, there's always Trans-Siberian Orchestra. When I was demoing 8 billion cable brands, I had some Nordost in with all solid state stuff. Trans-Siberian Orchestra X-Mas music really kicked some a. Didn't really care for the Nordost otherwise, th... | |
| Scraping sound coming from Theta Transport Gunbei, I don't know if it's a DVD vs. CD issue, I can't really explain it at all. My symptoms also seem different from those described by Glen. Also, my new unit hasn't given me any trouble. However, I'm using a glasses rag to wipe clean a disc A... | |
| Scraping sound coming from Theta Transport Ha! My Carmen skipped like crazy on a bunch of disks, and just plain coughed up a few (of course, no other player responded this way). The factory had it 3 times before they would replace it under warranty - took nearly a year. They played dumb wi... | |
| Theta Pro Basic III upgraded to III A, You can tell by removing the case. You need essentially no mechanical (and absolutely no electrical) knowledge or ability. There are several small screws to remove (they're quite obvious). Then take the cover off. Now, with the faceplate facing yo... | |
| How do you improve bass response in a null? Both brand and location make a difference for quality and spl. I don't think integration per se has anything to do with SPL (if we're talking about the same definition of integration), but there might be something I'm not thinking of. A Rel sub mi... | |
| How do you improve bass response in a null? I imagine experimenting with sub placement would help. Also, you could move the mains either forwards or backwards a foot or two without changing the fact that you and the tv are centered between them. That might work. Less likely to work, but sti... | |
| Found a gold mine You could point out that they don't listen to them and you would (assuming you're going to get an analog front end). You could also say to them that if they ever change their minds, and decide they are going to listen to them, that you would rever... | |
| A Simple Question: DVD & Pre-Pro There's a difference between being able to output the signal, and being able to decode it. It's best to leave the decoding to a processor, however the dvd player much be able to support (i.e. spit out) the dts or dd format. most dvd players these ... | |
| How hard is it to admit you bought bad gear? I think I bought some snake oil cables. Other than that, I've been pretty lucky (or so I think, maybe it's what you're talking about). I think my HT processor is pretty good, but I have found better stuff for the same price since. That's not exact... | |
| Hall of Shame Perhaps Sean is right here (he usually is anyway). What really hit me was someone disliking the Dynaudio Evidence speakers. I cannot afford them personally, but agree with the above post by the person who owns a pair. I've heard them at a dealer a... | |
| Hall of Shame right on natalie...MIT $700 interconnects sounded JUST LIKE MIT $100 interconnects, not to mention $40 Monster Cable ICs. | |
| Favorite HT demo scene from a movie? gotta add my votes for the shoot 'em up scene in the matrix, pod race, and the diva in the 5th element. |
