| CD player ungradeitis; Sony SCDxa5400es I made the same error in reporting that it was a multidisc player but it is not. The display card at CEDIA was printed in error saying that it was.I have one now and it is a single disc player.Kal | |
| What processor? Sorry, Ckorody, what you are saying is not entirely true. If you decode from TrueHD/dtsMA to PCM, it does not matter where you do it. Either way, only one HDMI cable is needed since the data is still digital.If we were speaking of doing the D/A co... | |
| Integra processors good? For useful help in using Audyssey, you should look at the links provided here: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=795421&highlight=audysseyKal | |
| What processor? It makes no difference if decoded in the player or the processor.Kal | |
| Can you adjust the phase between subs and mains? Yes. The phase shift adjustment is, afaik, centered on 80Hz, the nominal crossover but the phase change would be different below that. With a polarity inversion, everything would be 180deg changed.Kal | |
| Surround speakers options? Debatable. Kal | |
| How can you not have multichannel system Actually, there are some Tacet discs in which the performer locations do change from movement to movement. I cannot check which ones now because I am not where I keep them.Kal | |
| Can you adjust the phase between subs and mains? "I'm not sure how 180 degrees of phase differs from polarity.""Dumb question, but what's the difference?

| Surround speakers options? Why do you want dipoles? Why not a pair of smaller DeVores?Kal | |
| Processor Help...Please "Only hassle is setting the volume to zero gain when you select the processor input."Not a hassle since most modern preamps have an HT bypass setting or input.Kal | |
| What processor? Depends on your video needs. The Cary will pass the video to your display just fine. However, for non-BluRay materials, i.e., DVD, TV, etc, many people prefer to have a video processor to enhance/optimize video performance. If you are one of these... | |
| Can you adjust the phase between subs and mains? Originally, I used a Paradigm X-30, later the SMS-1, on my Servo-15. The advantage of the latter is the visual display that makes the tweaking easy.Kal | |
| How can you not have multichannel system The Tacet discs have mic/player arrangements all over the map. They are extremely inventive and the audio perspective can vary from track to track. Many are marvelous (the Scherzo from the Mendelssohn Octet), some are thrilling (the opening of the... | |
| Can you help me select a pre/pro? It depends on the BluRay authoring. You should be able to choose the HD audio track, even in 2.0. Many of the BRDs I have (mostly opera and ballet, I must admit) have a lossless 2channel PCM track. OTOH, one can convert the 5.1 HD tracks to 2.0/2.... |
