Audyssey MultiEQ - what a difference
Great. I have a similar impression of the SEQ. However, let me recommend considering setting the nht's to small so that you can put the low bass into the channel (#4) that has the highest resolution filters. Also, with the current v3 or v3.1 softw...

RCA cable lenght
Depends on the specific devices but, in general, it should not be a problem. I run 10M interconnects without any issues.Kal 
LCD TV, how does it affect your 2 channels

Using internal processing from Blu ray player
Have you turned off "Secondary Audio" on the player? If it is on, the player will not output any of the HD track material.Kal 
Using internal processing from Blu ray player
So, you are using the analog outputs of the Pioneer in order to "use the internal DACS in the Pioneer?" If so, the NAD should only display multichannel. Now, I suspect you are bypassing the Pioneer's DACs and using coax or optical. If so, you cann... 
Balanced vs. Unbalanced - What does it mean?
Dgaylin-I am not retracting my comments but it is certainly possible for a given component to sound better via one output vs. another depending on the design of that particular component. In general and in normal environments, there should be no d...

Preamp with Theater By-Pass
Many, many preamps have an HT bypass, the advantage of the Parasound 2100 (and the P7, even moreso) is that it was designed to optimize the use of the HT bypass while all others, that I know of, merely accommodate the passthrough.Among its relevan... 
Preamp with Theater By-Pass
Parasound 2100 is designed for that job.Kal 
Anthem D2 or D2V
I would doubt there would be any general sound quality differences but, until I get the D2V, I cannot be certain. I believe that the significant differences are in the added features and connections as they are, fundamentally, the same machine.Kal
