| Transport/DAC upsample question Hey BB,The answer to your question might be somewhat manufacturer dependent but one thing is certain, the interface between the transport and DAC will determine what sample rate is being communicated. In the most likely situation, the transport wi... | |
| Best processor that is excellent for 2 Ch music I'm supprised no one has mentioned Theta. I've used the Casablanca for 6-7 years and have just upgraded my original processor to the version III. I couldn't be happier. With the Extreme DACs the unit is really detailed but musical. You can find th... | |
| Parasound, McCormick, Odyssey - best under $1000 Having owned both a Parasound HCA-806 and McCormack DNA-1 and DNA-2s, I can say without question that the McCormack is a much more neutral/musical amp. The Parasound amp was punchy with good bass but I found the mids and highs to be very thin. I a... | |
| Velodyne DD-10 vrs Velodyne HGS-12x Both suggestions have merit and you can achieve the desired result by using the Behringer DEQ2496. The DEQ2496 is a very high quality EQ that can be had for right around $300 (look on eBay). I agree with Raul that the HGS12 for right around $1000 ... | |
| S. Cal. POWER ...?? Hi Jimmy,I live in Redondo Beach and up until last year I lived in a 5 unit townhouse building and found that that the power left something to be desired. I think it had to do with so many households on a common feed from the street. I think my po... | |

| balanced is inherently flawed My system doubles for both stereo and multi-channel playback and I have enough cables in the back of my rack that without balanced interconnects I do get common-mode noise. Maybe with better cable routing I would eleminate the problems but I just ... | |
| How many of you guys use a HT processor ? If you're only going to listen to two-channel and your objective is to save space; I would look to a player with an integral volume control. There are a number of players with the volume control built in (Theta Miles and there is a Krell integrate... | |

What Bob is refering to is running a balanced connection between components. And Bob and TWL are correct that this is possible and only ... | |
