HELP: how to eliminate speaker HUM?
jeffkad - I have a capri as well and also had problems integrating it into an ht system. I only am getting hum only from the center ch but I am getting a loud "pop" when I change channels or pause a dvd. If I take the capri out, the problem goes a... 
popping sound from l and r speakers
please do!My email is jaugustine@satx.rr.comIt will be over my head but interesting none the less.When I taked the jeff rowland out of the loop and just run the pre out from the HK or the Marantz to the amps there is not problem. So I think that I... 
popping sound from l and r speakers
thanks! I have swapped marantz and HK HTR rec but that didnt help. I am next going to try analog video (is that what it is called? The connection that we used to use for hd tv before hdmi came along) to see if that has anything to do with the prob... 
Best Blu-Ray ANALOG Output - Under $1000?
I got my oppo yesterday.Letting it run in a bit. Will post thoughts.Another feature that it offers is a pair of usb inputs. I can get uncompressed files from a flash drive into the oppo and out to my benchmark dac (I have the old one without usb i... 
does hdmi handle audio well?
just got the oppo blu ray "universal" player plugged in and am letting it run for a while.Part of the reason for all of the searching and head scratching on my part is that I cant shake a couple of nasty noise problems that I have in my system.I u... 
does hdmi handle audio well?
Sufentani - Your integra is on my short list for sure. But it had been suggested to me that it isnt up to our standards as a 2ch analog pre. What is your experience with it in this area? One of my ultimate goals is to find a single pre that I can ...

choosing a center channel
Still not sure what I am going to do.Over the weekend, I was able to find the local psb guy who has a couple different choices that I could demo overnight.I also thought that I would look through the internet direct offerings that offer in home tr... 
choosing a center channel
thanks all. I have not really double checked the electronics or connections. I had assumed that the issue was a $200 speaker that sounded like a $200 speaker.But I do plan to pull other bookshelf speakers that are of a more converntional driver la... 
choosing a center channel
good question. It sounds "cold" to me.Voices produced through the center are not as resonant sounding as the L&R.Mind you, it was very inexpensive and I am not really complaining.I think that I was hoping for a warmer sound from the center to ... 
choosing a center channel
Thanks all. I tried the phantom center set up last night and diidnt really like it. It left the center a little too soft for my taste.I am trying to make the best of a compromised situation. The same room serves both 2ch and movies. I might be abl... 
choosing a center channel
Stringreen - I have a powered sub. you are right about that.Oj - I never even thought about trying to go without a center. But I am going to give it a try. The L&R are wide enough that it should work just fine. I guess that my HTR would be set... 
choosing a center channel
