| A/V recevier HDMI to TV, then Optical to DAC? Duh! I think I just realized that even if this will work, it will loose an value of the high definition audio CODECS, becasue in converting it to optical, the TV will downsample it...right? | |
| external crossover recommendations Bbro -- I missed your response earlier. Thanks for recommending the Bryston. Although pricey, that piece seems to be the one that has the most of what I'm looking for. I need to check it out. --dan | |

| external crossover recommendations Hey Bob, I'll check it out. Thanks very much!--dan | |
| running full range or not full range...huh? thanks to all of you for the answers. I must say it's the classic audio situation of "it depends." Mikelavigne, I'm generally familiar with all of the methods you describe, and have tried several of them. But the detail and discussion you provide ... | |

| small footprint balanced pre-amp Very helpful, thanks all. And I had definitely missed the Bryston, so thanks for pointing that out Bob. Has anyone found any truth to the reviews that state the Capri is somewhat rolled off in the treble? Is that what Curio means by "romantic"?Any... | |
| Brick or Carpet? Hey guys, thanks for the info (Mapman) and the recommendations. I'm not using bricks to elevate my cables, I'm running the cable along a brick hearth (actully under the edge of it so it is pretty hidden. High WAF! The issue is sound quality taking... | |
| Brick or Carpet? This would be what I expect. Any thoughts on the reasoning? If the cable lifters that you can buy are made of ceramic, that is pretty similar to brick. Of course the goal is to have the cable suspended for the most part, but if I run along brick w... |
