| HDMI cables vs RCA/coax for sound in a HT system You can use either HDMI or all-analog outputs for all these formats. | |
| Are the XLR outputs of OPPO BDP-105 true balanced? Yes but that ploy still does accrue all the benefits of balanced interconnection. | |
| Using Oppo 105 for Audio from Cable Box? Of course, you can go directly from the box via HDMI and that would be the best way. | |
| Anyone Listening to DSD files? See: www.stereophile.com/content/news-flash-oppo-now-plays-dsd-files | |
| Good Processor 1. The answer to your question about XT32/Pro is no. AFAIK, the two sub outputs have the same signal and are not stereo. This is the most common arrangement in prepros and has nothing to do with Audyssey or AudysseyPro.2. "I take it you never hear... | |
| Do preamp processors produce a slight hum . First, it ain't a common feature of prepros but it is a common problem with cable boxes. These are often installed with improper grounds, i.e., remote from the main house ground resulting in a ground loop. Relocating the cable ground to the main g... | |
| Accurate human voice reproduction Can you give us an example of a speaker and situation where a speaker can sound good with singing but not with speech that is not recording-dependent? | |
| Good Processor Jdub39, I have had the same experience with the 8801/dual subs using XT32/Pro. It does integrate the bass well. | |
| 3 channel sound Yup. Keep in mind that you were not only listening to a discrete 3-channel recording but direct from the DSF files via the Mytek trio and a pretty impressive Pass/Sony setup. As others have said, 3 or more channels is easy (even with AVRs) but the... | |
| connecting a lexicon RT 20 to a stereo integrated If you are playing only CDs, there should be no need for any setup/programming (unless the previous owner has set it up strangely). | |
| Good Processor Dbphd, yes, the SMS-1 does digitize the subwoofer signal. | |
| Good Processor Tcatman, only 2EQ fails to EQ the subwoofers. For all the others, every speaker is EQ-ed but the descriptions are misleading in that they refer to all the non-subwoofers as satellites. So, you are right that one might be misled by the wording. | |
| Why no reviews of the Magnepan 3.7 in Stereophile That's why every honest and capable reviewer has had his/her corpus callosum transsected. This permits each cerebral hemisphere to operate independently as a check on the other. The left hemisphere actually does the writing but the right hemispher... | |
| Oppo BDP-95 Weakest Link Substantial, no. Incremental, yes. | |
| 3 channel sound Duh. I actually use Trifield on my 861 but I don't usually suggest Meridian since it is expensive and not mainstream. |
