| Pioneer Blu Ray Player BDP 05 FD That is because the 05 is bitstreaming the dts MA to the Yamaha which is doing the decoding. The 05 cannot do it yet.Kal | |
| Pioneer Blu Ray Player BDP 05 FD v1.08 discs have been sent to some.Even v1.112 will not decode dts MA. ;-)Kal | |
| Driving HT receiver w/quality preamp? Backwards. Feed the L/R output from your AVR through the preamp and keep all the traditional source in the preamp. Many preamps have a HT bypass input for that purpose.Kal | |
| No Dolby True HD signal? That selects the format read by the player but it will still output any of them as PCM.Kal | |
| No Dolby True HD signal? AFAIK, the PS3 will output decoded DolbyTHD as LPCM without any loss. This is normal and you are fine.Kal | |
| Biwire cable on a standard 2 terminal speaker? Or it doesn't really matter. ;-)Kal | |
| preamp with only 1 set of pre-outs: adding sub.... Depends on the sub. Some have built-in HP filters for your main speaker/amp. Kal | |
| Biwire cable on a standard 2 terminal speaker? All my AQ shotgun cables came directly from AQ and at their suggestion.Kal | |
| Biwire cable on a standard 2 terminal speaker? I have several sets of AQ shotgun biwires and none have any differentiation between the two runs.Kal | |
| VPI table connected to Meridian Pre amp- no sound You need a phono stage.Kal | |
| Biwire cable on a standard 2 terminal speaker? 1. If there's a network to separate the high and low frequencies (which I doubt), you would want to defeat that separation by combining the wires for a non-biwired speaker.2. OTOH, the presence of such a network (which I doubt) would impose a loss... | |
| Prepro into a Preamp into an Amp?? Take a look at the Parasound Halo P7. It has features which make it unique for HT bypass use.Kal | |
| Favorite Telarc releases..... The Boston-Zanders are not on Telarc but I recommend both his Boston recordings (Le Sacre is a blast!) and his Telarc Mahlers/Beethovens highly.Kal | |
| Correction of room acoustics. E-traps? I get your point but think you are too liberal in saying it is "in the signal path." That definition might include everything in the room, including us.Also, note that a room mode at 30Hz is usually accompanied by submodes at all the harmonics, as... | |
| Correction of room acoustics. E-traps? Shadorne-How can the E-trap add audible distortion at higher frequencies when (1) it is not in the signal path and (2) it is sharply frequency limited by design? I take your point about potential THD in the low bass but the ear is more tolerant to... |
