| Putting a preamp on a integrated? You might do this if you have a superior preamp or are gradually upgrading from the integrated to separates. As long as you have access to the connections between the preamp and power amp portions of the integrated, you can add a preamp or add a p... | |
| Outboard DAC's and SACD question: You need an SACD-compatible transport or player. Regular CD players will only play the CD track on hybrid SACDs but that's the equivalent of a CD anyway. | |
| What amp for Paradigm Studio 60 v.2? I have had excellent results with Bryston and BelCanto, less so with PS and Adcom. But that's in my specific system. | |
| Adcom amps with better power input? Build regulated power supplies. Works wonders. | |
| Technics A10 DVD digital output options Well, I still have those components but I have not had the A10 in the system for a while now. The A10 is built very well, much better than one expects for the prices it went for at the end. I have no idea what a used on goes for.If I have time thi... | |
| speaker selector The selectors are simply switches, some with impedance protection, but none can add power to the situation. Using A+B puts the two sets in parallel on most receivers and yours might not be able to put sufficient power out into the now lower load i... | |
| Technics SHAC-500 questions There is no adjustability for any crossover. Either "Large" (and no BM) or "Small" (and BM with an implied crossover at 100Hz). The unit does have level and delay adjustments for all channels and can create phantom center. Kal | |
| Technics SHAC-500 questions I have the manual but it's at my weekend house. I will look at it on Saturday. If you can, remind me. | |

| Electronic crossover recommendations Find a Pioneer D-23 on the used market. Very flexible and convenient. | |
| Audio House Keep your criteria in mind when you shop but be prepared to compromise a little if everything else works for you. I shopped for houses and apartments with audio considerations and made out quite well even if not perfectly. Remember that, with dece... | |
| Heard the Ultimate speakers in NYC I see a picture and note on page 48 wherein Paul Bolin makes some very positive comments of the $53K SL1000 speakers. No where is there any endorsement from the magazine or the statement that they were 'one of the best sounding speakers at the Ste... | |
| Heard the Ultimate speakers in NYC Was that a poll of attendees or one person's opinion? | |
| What do you think of the new Linn Unidisk? It is very simple to use. | |
| 2+2+2 Multichannel You are right about the differences between the Chesky and MDG setups. The Telarc, too, is different in that it has a single height channel multiplexed with the LFE channel. I also agree with PBB that it was unfortunate that compatibility with HT ... |
