| Best AV processors for under $10K 03-09-13: DbphdAs I understand it, DSD does not convey information for bass management; you need to convert to LPCM if you want bass management. It comes down to semantics. It is incorrect to say that DSD does not convey information for bass manag... | |
| Best AV processors for under $10K 03-09-13: DbphdKal, what is bass management? Are you saying the sub is only activated by LFE? What's the role of crossover? I thought when you set a crossover frequency in the Oppo menu, frequencies below the crossover would be sent to the SW outp... | |

| Odd length speaker cables Sorry, Sonicbeauty, but you did relate these two variables in your statement and there is no scientific justification for it. What works for me: I use a 16ft on one side, and 9ft on the other. This shifts the stereo image to the short side on the ... | |
| Bi amp will it work There is no reason to "control the amp driving the tweeters" since (1) the output is synched with the overall levels and limited by the LF amp output and (2) the passive XO components in the speaker will be protective. | |
| Bi amp will it work You need to check the input sensitivity/gain of the two amps. Odds are that they are the same but, if not, you will need to find a way to balance them. | |
| cdp that can play several formats BDP-103 at $499. | |
| Are You Using A Separate DAC With Your Oppo 105? If Oppo can upgrade firmware on the 105 for DSD, that could make it quite the bargain. Coming soon. | |
| Odd length speaker cables Your dealer is wrong. The better the equipment the more you will notice the difference in the uneven cable length.Well, that assertion should settle it for once and all. All you have to do is be able to accept it. I can't. | |
| Marantz7005 or Denon AVP for movies only- I'd go with the Marantz if only for the new purchase warranty and the likelihood of current updates. Besides, whatever sonic differences there are among any of the mentioned processors, they are truly minor compared to the differences among speake... | |
| You are there-they are here That we know it is an artifice is, itself, a disbelief (of its reality). That is what is suspended. | |
| Appropriate RCA cable to go from pre-out to amp? Any RCA interconnect, including those specifically built for digital signal, will work. | |
| Marantz7005 or Denon AVP for movies only- Hard for me to say since I have never used the 7005. On paper, I thought it had serious limitations on the day it was released. However, I do see at least three advantages which should have important impact on the sound:1. The 7005 cannot do HD de... | |
| You are there-they are here I think it depends more on the kind of music. What I listen to cannot fit in my room so I opt for the illusion of being where they are. | |
| Marantz7005 or Denon AVP for movies only- The AVP has better EQ but the Marantz AV8801 might be the best option. |
