| Which High-End preamps have these 2 features? Too many. The Sim P-8 fits.Kal | |
| Strategy and Components Advice Needed 1. Yes. HT pass-through or bypass. Feed the front L/R outputs of the pre/pro through it.2. No comment.3. You can get a sub with separate L/R sub inputs distinct from an LFE input. Use the former for stereo, the latter for MCH.Kal | |
| best sacd out there 1,000.00 or so ??? There are SACD players that do well enough on RBCD that the compromise is minimal in view of the advantages. Will SACD make it? It will not become the standard medium but it will linger as a premium medium, especially for classical and jazz. Kal | |
| Virtually no bass from my Elite DVD player in SACD First, not all SACDs have an LFE (.1) channel.Second, the bass on some players needs to be boosted for SACD (by up to 10dB) in order to match levels from other sources.Third, setting your speakers to small will divert bass from them to the sub. Th... | |
| Does having an object inbetween the speakers bad? 1. Room acoustics.2. Speaker placement.....................N. Corrupting object in the center comes lower on the list but higher than cables or swapping DACs.Kal | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? ??? I find few restrictions in any format. I still have a few thousand LPs and CDs but my multichannel SACD/DVD-A collection is also well over 1000 and growing daily. That said, I will bow out of this thread whose title question I find unacceptabl... | |
| Simaudio W5 match to SF Line 2 I've used all the above (except the Cary) but not all at the same time so I am only guessing that they will go well. I did use the SF Line 2 (and 3) with the W-5 successfully.Kal | |
| The subjectivity of speaker quality Well, if the sound is really good and stimulating, my ears become engorged and enlarge so that I can capture more and more. :-)Kal | |

| Subwoofer connection to a tube preamp "My sub has line-in (R&L) and line-out. However, the line out has a high pass filter which cuts-off at 80 HZ. "That's what it is supposed to do: cut off the lows from the main speakers so that only the sub is reproducing the bottom octaves. Ho... | |
| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews Yeah, I'd like to do a turntable review. :-)Kal | |
| CD output voltage too high for preamp: what to do? BTW, 2V (at 0dB level) is the output standard for CD players although, as you already know, it is often ignored. In crude A/B tests, the louder player will always sound more impressive. That said, another major factor in your problem is the input ... | |
| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews We do try to have someone get to each and every room. Each morning over breakfast and blogs, the writers ask each other who saw what and who can get where. Nonetheless, it is patently impossible for all of us to get to all rooms and, frankly, I ha... |
