Power Cord/Interconnects for Arcam DV78
Did you say DVD !!!   First off if your not using a bluray you are missing out on the Hi def audio and video (1080p)...DTS Mater Audio and Dolby True HD which blows DVD out of the water.  I don't mean to be funny but it might as well be an 8 track... 
Krell Foundation Owners question
With any pre/pro or receiver for that matter there will be a learning curve...and of course time with initial set up.  BUT after using your new toy for a while it will become second nature to navigate through its menu etc.   It's a labor of LOVE !!!  
Classe SSP
The classe processor is still one of the top pre/pros. The problem with Theater is that it never stops evolving...I have the CT-SSP same as the SSP-800 which I bought a few years back..it replaced my first pre/pro A Marantz AV-8003 also an excelle...

On the draining of resonance.....
Hello fellow Audio Nirvana seekers...I just looked at what was being said about resonance control after experiencing some incredible results in my system.  All I have to say is that  I'm completely blown away...contact  Robert at Star Sound Tech. ... 
Powered subwoofer connection?
CHECK OUT REL SUBS - besides the LFE input they use a Neutrik connection which attaches directly to your speaker outputs of your amp...this works very well for integrating with the mains. 
One or two subs
Left & Right Front corners... 
One or two subs
WITHOUT any doubt...2 subs are better than 1. I believe it is best to have 2 of the same subs which ever you choose. Get the best subs you can afford. I use a single Rel in my 2 channel - using the Neutrik Connection. But it is barely on...the cro... 
power cable length importance
The people at Nordost believe that longer cables will sound better, especially power cords. Their explanation or analogy goes something like this: Strike a 1 meter pole and the sound will be thin without much decay - strike a 2 and then 3 meter po... 
Cary slp-05 tubes rumor or fact?
The Slp-05 at the show has been seriously modified by Chapman Audio not Cary. Many mods were done both physically and electronically. He even drilled the chassis in order to fit those Black Treasure Tubes.  
Krell S1200- Among the best sounding processors?
WOW !!! I have not heard the Krell S1200..I have heard the Classe SSP-800 processor in a surround set up with some older Classe amps through B&W 802's and the sound was incredible. The Classe processor is regarded as one of the best....Having ... 
cardas golden cros vs golden reference
I use several Cardas products in both of my systems - 2 channel and Theater. I agree with most of the posts I have read about Cardas cables - The Golden Reference, Golden Cross and neutral ref or all very musical cables. The Golden Cross is absolu... 
Marantz AV8003 Processor
I own the AV 8003 - It's a reasonable priced, terrific Processor - It sounds wonderful in theater applications, but like most processors, it dosen't make for the best 2 channel preamp. 
DTS Master Audio how to wire??
I believe your answer is NO - You need HDMI to Bitstream DTS Master Audio & Dolby True HD - But like already mentioned, If your bluray decodes them you can send out the formats from your player using Analog cables. Why aren't you using HDMI in...
