| Tips for warming up Rotel + B&W system? I think I am beginning to sound like a locked groove: Look to your room acoustics. What may seem like subtle changes in setup and treatment can have huge effects, well out-distancing anything due to break-in and/or cabling.Kal | |
| Salamander AV Rack I have a Salamander Synergy and it's quite good but, frankly, I would not put any turntable on a pull-out shelf on it or on any rack.Kal | |
| HT Preamp-Processors w/ Balanced inputs & outputs The balanced digital input is modified in the same way that a SE digital input is. Both are decoded from the S/PDIF or AES/EBU signal and a balanced analog signal is created in the pre/pro. There's no direct balanced processing anyway.Kal | |
| Where to see Audio in Manhattan It also depends on what you are looking for. If you just want to kick tires, you may not get an easy accomodation at all places.Kal | |
| Opinions on the "TACT" sonic signature? Try to find a z-systems RDP-1 or RDQ-1 digital parametric EQ. Digital in/out and as nearly transparent as they come. Very flexible, too. I do not know if they are still produced but you might find a used one.Kal | |
| What is best to use for SACD For SACD (and DVD-A), you must use analog interconnects and, consequently, the DACs in the player. There are certain exceptions (iLink, DenonLink, MHR, etc) but, in general, neither format can be transmitted via digital cable.Kal | |

| Whatever Happened To SAE? Actually, the SAE stuff that preceded the black stacks was their really good stuff and they were already being diluted in your time. Long, long gone.Kal | |
| Does it / Do they pass the wife test? Speakers It depends entirely on the particular wife. My wife doesn't like small stand-mounted speakers, preferring floor standing speakers. She also doesn't like completely rectangular boxes, regardless of the quality of finish. I suggest you show your wif... | |
| Convert rca cable into xlr cable. Depends. For balanced connection through XLRs, you need at least 3 conductors (+/-/G) but for unbalanced through RCAs you need only 2 (+/G). So, if by some chance your RCA cables have 3 conductors or more (many do), you can do it. Otherwise, no.Kal | |
| HT, WHAT'S BETTER 2 CHANNEL + 3 OR ONE 5 CH I have no argument with Markphd's statements but let me give you another take. Since all the amps, regardless of how they are configured, are limited by the AC signal, you can optimize using separate amps only with dedicated AC lines for each. Now... | |
| absolute power cords.... Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely. ;-)Kal | |
| Tube Pre, HT Pass and Balanced Output The SF Line series fits the description with the top model, the Line-3, being outstanding. Not terribly tube-y, though.Kal | |
| Sony xa777 player question You set a default and it will use that format, if available. The options are CD, SACD stereo, SACD multichannel.It has analog outputs. ;-)I listen to classical music, too.Kal |
