| Sub hookup in a 2ch/HT system with preamp passthru Simplest arrangement is to tell the processor that you have no sub and that the front L/R are large. Then connect the output of the 2200 to the L/R inputs of the DD-12 with the main amp fed from the DD-12's RCA outputs. This will impose an 80dB HP... | |
| Sub hookup in a 2ch/HT system with preamp passthru Hard to answer. Are you using the sub for LFE or for bass-management?Kal | |
| 48K, 96K or 192K Jwilt: "I played around with it a bit. When I set the player's SPDIF (whatever the heck that is) to "PCM", I didn't seem to get any surround information, just the fronts. When I switched it to "Raw", the surround info was there."Of course. As I sa... | |
| 4 ohm vs 8 ohm taps Have the tech change the new posts to the 8ohm taps. | |
| 48K, 96K or 192K Thanks for the link. As I said, using the 5.1 DVD-A inputs, which are analog, the sampling rate is irrelevant.Kal | |
| Ring radiator tweeters - the future? Unless this is different, ring radiators are several decades old.Kal | |
| 48K, 96K or 192K Tvad: "OK, I'm bored and determined to help, so I looked through the B&K AVR305 manual which mentions accepting DVD-A up to 24/192 through the 5.1 analog inputs, so I'd say set the player to 24/192 as Kal suggested."Good idea but makes no sens... | |
| HDCD a flash in the pan already?? No. It already was a flash in the pan. Came and went.Kal | |
| 48K, 96K or 192K Well, the reason for limiting the output bandwidth is to account for whether or not the device receiving the output can handle it. If you send a 24/192 signal to a DAC or receiver which can only handle 24/48, the extra bits would be truncated prod... | |

| 48K, 96K or 192K DVD is up to 24/48. DVD-A can be anything up to 24/192, at least in 2 channels, and up to 24/96 in 5.1. So, set the output for 192kHz in order not to down-sample and mangle the best discs.Kal | |
| Window Treatments to Remove reflected sound No set blinds will have any effect below mid-frequencies and exactly where they will change from dispersing the audio to reflecting it is somewhat unpredictable. The glass is transparent to bass and reflective of HF so, in order to have a nearly e... | |
| 48K, 96K or 192K First, I do not think you can feed the front L/R directly to the xDs amp since you would not have a volume control for those channels.Second, if you are using only the analog outs, the settings for S/PDIF (the digital output) are irrelevant.Third,... | |
| Is Apogee in a class by itself among planars? OK. The referred to manual from Eminent Tech distinguishes between different drive systems and further distinguishes a ribbon as having its magnetic polarity across the surface of its diaphragm rather than normal to it. Nonetheless, electrostatic ... | |
| Is Apogee in a class by itself among planars? "First of all, Apogee are not planars. They are ribbons.""As noted above, the Apogees (and Maggie IIIa's) are ribbons, and not planars."Would any one like to explain this distinction? A ribbon is a planar film driven in a particular way, afaik.Kal |
