| Exceptional Recording of Carmina Burana And from left field..... I like Fruhbeck de Burgos (more swing and flair than others) and Kegel (more rhythmic power). | |
| Amplification for speakers from the 60's You should consider a tube power amp, like one of the Dynas, in the 35 to 70wpc range for these. A modern integrated like the NAD or Creek might work but I am guessing here. The bass is ample but there's no cure for the hard and beaming HF. | |
| Multiple output preamps? The SF LineX series have 4 outputs, 2 RCA and 2 XLR, all simultaneously active. | |
| BNC out to an RCA in I agree. OTOH, one can buy the same BNC-RCA adapters and put them on your current cables. | |
| Passive Bi-Amping with Different SS Amps 1. You can buy a stereo audio-taper pot from The Parts Connexion (http://www.partsconnexion.com/catalog/controlsswitches.html). 10K should do. There are many other sources.2. Unlikely if it's a decent pot. | |
| Passive Bi-Amping with Different SS Amps You need to add a potentiometer to lower the signal to the lower gain amp, the McCormack. | |
| Good Scene to test surrounds I cannot imagine how you could 'test' it with a scene although that might let you know that the rear channels were working. A test disc with signals and music, like the Chesky DVD-A or Telarc SACD, would be better. | |
| Analog pass-thru and SACD/DVD-A mystery Approval is yet another issue. To make the discussion broader, there are proprietary SACD interfaces, such as the Accuphase. In short time, we will see approved, standardized and encrypted digital connections for both. | |
| Analog pass-thru and SACD/DVD-A mystery Actually, the encryption could be implemented in any hardware mechanism. For example, Meridian splits the 6 channels of DVD-A into 3 encrypted S/PDIF connections. Clearly, copy-protection is accomplished but it took 3 digital links to accomodate t... | |
| Analog pass-thru and SACD/DVD-A mystery 1. What's stopping them is that the S/PDIF input on the "latter systems today" is inadequate for high-bit-rate, multichannel signals.2. A Fire-Wire interface system is forthcoming. Sony has just released a player and receiver and other have simila... | |
| PS Audio vs Bel Canto vs Musical Fidelity shootout I want royalties! | |
| XRCDs. Which ones would you recommend me? Chriskeating wrote: Ella Fitzgerald and Nelson Pass- " Take Love Easy"Nelson Pass? Really? | |
| Interconnects and Home Theater? 1. Music is meant to be heard in a real space and (discrete) surround is a closer approach than is stereo.2. Probably right.3. ?? I use the same ones but not for philosophical reasons. | |
| Should I leave my SF Line 3 SE on standby? I keep it ON or on STANDBY all week and turn the whole thing off on weekends. | |
| Best center speakers for dialogue clarity? The CC3 still requires a sub but I agree with you about its value as a center channel for clarity. |
