| Experiences with Blu-ray players 01-04-13: GammajoYes, but it reads and plays them, which works for me having as the poster does only a few of them anyway.Duh. Any CD or DVD or BD player will do that but all you are hearing is the CD layer. No SACD. | |
| Experiences with Blu-ray players There is no SACD output via digital coax from any consumer product. Coax conveys the RedBook layer only, afaik. | |
| Passive biamping question That is passive biamping and any improvements in "quality" are debatable. | |
| Passive biamping question No. The spectral distribution of power in music signals is heavily weighted towards the bass. As a result, the total output is limited by the bass amp which will still be 100w. There is quite limited increase in power capability. (And 200w would o... | |
| Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no? 06-12-12: Audiofreak32Music is not intended for multichannel. Surround sound is for movies.06-11-12: Audiofreak32No, just stating facts...Just because you assert your opinions does not make them facts. | |
| Win 4 free tickets to 2013 CES/SHOW Glad I don't need the tix. | |
| Need to know the best proccessor ........... Almost any processor will mate well with the amp. The (old) 1570 lacks an EQ function but, if it sounds like the 1572 that I reviewed, it is a nice prepro. From the current crop, I would suggest you look at the Marantz 8801 which I have seen, at d... | |
| Need to know the best proccessor ........... An even more complex install. | |
| Need to know the best proccessor ........... Mebbe the Datasat but that is not necessarily a useful recommendation since (1) I understand it is a real bear to set up without professional help and (2) the cost of it would better be reallocated to the rest of his system. | |
| Need to know the best proccessor ........... Another "best" question. Too many variables are omitted. Options range from the Integra DHC-80.3 to the DataSat RS-20i. | |
| Is there any real alternative to Oppo?? With the 103 and 105, you also get very useful streaming features. | |
| Is there any real alternative to Oppo?? 12-29-12: Douglas_schroeder:::Doggiehowser, I don't know where you're getting the idea that the Cambridge player is based on the Oppo. That's not my understanding; I reviewed the 840C for Dagogo.com and have owned it. He may have been referring t... | |
| How Much Are You Missing From 20khz to 45khz? 12-27-12: Mitch4t: Kr4, do you think there's any value or advantage for a speaker to be able go above 20khz?I think that it is necessary that speaker response extend at least to 20kHz and have a smooth, well-behaved rolloff above.12-27-12: Don_c55... | |
| How Much Are You Missing From 20khz to 45khz? Oohashi's findings have never been confirmed by another laboratory and the papers are open to criticism of their procedures and findings. | |
| Should I upgrade home theatre to one with HDMI? Inevitably. HDMI to the TV and digital coax/optical will get you HD for now but, if/when you add a BD player, you will be better off with a new AVR or prepro with HDMI. |
