| Using 2 integrateds to bi-amp? Weird. How would you control volume in concert?Kal | |
| How to connect two amps with one source? Just having multiple outputs does not mean that they are independently driven. If not, and this is more common than otherwise, those outputs are simply Y-ed together.Kal | |
| Using CD player without Preamp? IMHO, it depends on the volume control in the Philips. If the VC is analog, a direct connection may be great. If the VC is digital (and, therefore, loses data when attenuated), the direct connection is a bad idea. I suspect the latter is the reality. | |
| How tall should speakers be? HF driver should be at about ear height for conventional dynamic speakers.Kal | |
| How to connect two amps with one source? Mrtennis i suggest a simple mod to the dac, which will create a second pair of analog out females.i have often thought that digital designers furnish dacs and/or cd players with 2 sets of analog out connectors.You mean an internal Y-connection. Wh... | |
| How to connect two amps with one source? Well, if the units are well-designed, a pair of Y-connectors will be fine. This means that the dac has a low output impedance and decent current output and that the two loads each have a relatively high, constant and similar input impedance. I do ... | |
| Best Processor around 1500.00 First off, the Emotiva ain't out yet, nor is the interesting new Outlaw.Second, if this is merely a stop-gap, try a used Integra 9.8. Should be able to pick one up for under $1k and sell it for about the same later. Since it does almost everything... | |
| Audio Output Cables to Preamp For TV sources, any will do. If you spend more than minimum, you are wasting money.Kal | |
| Onix Speakers I think they are a discontinued ID-only line and you will not find them, new, in shops. Try AV123. Kal | |
| Meridian Blu Ray? Meridian has promised an HDMI solution for their products but not promised a BR player. Announcements at CES, no doubt.Also, you can use any source that can supply an S/PDIF signal to each speaker but you need to figure out how to control the volu... | |
| HDMI Terms and Troubles... Many Sony receivers came out with HDMI inputs that were merely 'pass-through' and incapable of processing audio or video. These required an additional audio connection from the player and, for the HD audio codecs, that had to be multichannel analo... | |
| Will an external DAC work on SACD? There are a number of players that will output DSD over HDMI as well as a number that will output DSD over iLink, dLink or other uncommon interfaces.Kal | |
| 3.1 channel processor....is there such a thing? Yes. There have been one or two odd ducks with 3 channels or 2.1 but I cannot recall any 3.1 units. Get a 5.1/7.1 and use the channels you need to use.Kal | |
| Audioquest DBS System My point was that, if I could not hear a difference, why would I care?Kal | |
| Audioquest DBS System I meant audibly. I have been using DBS cables for years but the difference between them and the non-DBS was insignificant to begin with. Never bother to check.Kal |
