| Another Bi-Amp Question Cerrot: The only possible reason for bi-amping (without replacing the built-in crossover with a custom external one) is to increase the power output to the speaker. However, any such increase is minimal. There is no reason to expect any other diff... | |
| Another Bi-Amp Question You can try it but why? Assuming(!) the quoted numbers are accurate, you have speakers with a max power handling of 120w connected to amp channels with 130w output. How could or why would you think that biamping would get you any more volume outpu... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES owners question No detents on my sample. OTOH, I always use the remote control for track selection.Kal | |
| Meridian 861 v4 or classe 800 for movies?? If all goes without incident, it will be in the July column. Using the SSP now in the weekend system and will transfer it to the main system (where the Meridian now resides) in about 2-3 weeks.Kal | |
| Sony XA5400ES vs XA9000ES The 5400 is lighter and cheaper than the 9000 but neither factor means that it must be of lower "build quality." OTOH, it does sound better.Kal | |
| Empire 208 turntable Those tweaks are effective. Another is to replace the plinth with something that ain't a gong or, at least, use more of the damping compounds on its underside.Also, remove the motor cover when using the TT.Kal | |
| Cant understand Meridian Gear Try the link. Those guys know the equipment.Kal | |
| Cant understand Meridian Gear Some may only output digital because they are intended to be connected to Meridian's DSP loudspeakers. Any of the recent models with analog outputs would seem to do. However, none will decode the HD codecs and many will require the add-on HD621 to... | |
| Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no? Well, all other things being equal, two-channel is certainly cheaper and more compact than multichannel. ;-)Kal | |
| Connecting a subwoofer..... There is, in theory, no difference between pre-outs and line-outs, so I cannot understand your question. You need to use a volume-controlled output and, if you are using a stereo source, you need to combine the two channels for the sub. Many subs ... | |

| HDCD VS SACD Kijanski wrote: "Stereophile also said that SACD is dead in editorial column few months ago. They said that most of new Blu-Ray players don't even support SACD. I know that some support it but not sure what percentage. "And you believe them? :-) A... | |
| HDCD VS SACD Am I sure of what? That there are few HDCD discs and that there are none being issued these days? Yup. There never were many but I do not have a count. In my own collection, they probably number a few dozen. OTOH, I have thousands of SACDs and I a... | |
| HDCD VS SACD One additional point. Even though SACD is fading, there are many more recordings available now and still being released than there were on HDCD.Kal |
