| Left, Right & center cable home theater Cables Q Virtually inaudible? As long as the differences are less than a kilometer, there should be no audible difference in timing. Differences due to impedance may be more critical but they, too, are probable insignificant if the gauge is sufficient for ... | |
| Oppo BDP-83 question. Generally, the latter with the Oppo but there might be exceptions.Kal | |
| Pop Picks or Best HDMI AV Proc under $1500... There are no other prepros under $1500 and the Onkyo/Integras are creeping up in price. Along with the Emotiva, there is also a promised one from Outlaw.Kal | |
| Preamp with Theater By-Pass Well, you can add a phono preamp or consider the P7. ;-)Kal | |
| 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 | |

| 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... | |
| Sub for 2 channel music only setup 08-09-09: DlcockrumAgree with Stanwal and Kal on the REL. The REL is one of the only sub systems to use hi-level inputs from your main amp with no crossovers in the signal path of your main speakers.True but, often, there are good reasons to have ... | |
| Sub for 2 channel music only setup I do not agree at all with Stanwal's gross generalization of subs but I do endorse his recommendation of the REL "S" series for their easier integration with analog stereo systems.Kal | |
| Oppo BDP-83 question. Using the BDP-83 to control volume, especially for efficient loudspeakers, is not a good idea as the digital control will truncate bits and reduce resolution.Kal | |
| HT receiver with parametric EQ Why do you need the parametric? If you just want a "house curve," you can add that with the AudysseyPro option on many Audyssey-equipped units.Kal | |
| HT receiver with parametric EQ Classe does on the SSP-800 prepro. Most AVRs are offering autoEQ features these days.Kal |
