| Room matters Don't let the prices scare you but do keep an open mind. Times (and technology) do change.Kal | |
| Blu-ray music discs I am talking about Blu-Ray discs, not Blu-Spec CDs which, fundamentally, are just CDs.Kal | |
| Oppo BDP-83 optical out for 2ch stereo from blu-r? Neither connection is optimum for this since you will be getting a mixdown either way UNLESS you select a stereo track from the BRD.Kal | |
| Blu-ray music discs They are, indeed, also two channel but most of the content is multichannel.Kal | |
| Room matters That's not exactly what I was suggesting but an Anthem D2v or Denon AVP-A1HDCI or Meridian 861 (all of which have analog outputs much superior to the Integra) might be competitive with digital sources and not encumber any "purism" issues when usin... | |
| Room matters Such notions of "purity" are grounded in analog considerations. With today's digital media, a more coherent reconsideration of the principle is necessary. ;-)Kal | |
| Biamp with a multichannel amp? Timrhu, I would agree. ;-)Kal | |

| Biamp with a multichannel amp? Wack a mole!First, there's no difference between biamping with a stereo amp or with a multichannel amp. If you get (or believe you get) an advantage with biamping, either will do fine.Second, this topic is discussed ad nauseam here and on every ot... | |
| Are all Dynaco PAS 3X's identified as such on back No. Many are original PAS3s that were upgraded with an add-on kit and these would not have the PAS3x label. The detent is indicative of the fact that, in the neutral 12 o'clock position, the control is bypassed.Kal | |
| Convert cartridge output voltage to db gain So, by that calculation, he has adequate gain in the phono stage despite his protestations. As I said, it is the noise level, not the gain that needs to be addressed. Since he is turning up the gain (reducing attenuation) in the in the integrated ... | |
| OPPO BDP-83 audio output question I would like to see a "de-embedder" that will output coax/optical from multichannel SACD/DVD-A other than the Meridian HD621 which works only with Meridian processors. There are some others which are, officially, illegal. I have one. ;-)Kal | |
| Convert cartridge output voltage to db gain More gain will get you more noise and you do not say that the output is too low, only noisier. What you need is higher output or a lower noise phono stage. Another consideration is the impedance matching of the cartridge to the input of the phono ... | |
