| LCD TV, how does it affect your 2 channels Cover it with an acoustically absorbent material when it is not being viewed.Kal | |
| 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... | |
| Balanced vs. Unbalanced - What does it mean? Balanced connections mean that there are two signal wires per channel, each carrying a different polarity of the same signal and twisted together. There is no ground, per se, as any ground lead is only to shield the wires and the two signal leads,... | |

| 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 | |
| Blu ray and SACD On 08-13-09, Neilspeed " I really could not find much online on using a Blu ray player in an audio setting." Then, perhaps, you might try my series of columns. ;-)Kalhttp://www.stereophile.com/musicintheround | |

| Blu ray and SACD I know of only 3 BR players, at the present time, that will play SACDs. They are the Oppo BDP-83, the Denon DVD-A1UDCI and, the soon to be released, Marantz UD9004. There is, also, the Sony PS3, if that fits your needs.Now, you have to tell me wha... |
