| 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... | |

| 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. | |
| 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. |
