Dec 30, 2012	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.
Dec 30, 2012	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.
Dec 30, 2012	Is there any real alternative to Oppo?? With the 103 and 105, you also get very useful streaming features.
Dec 29, 2012	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...
Dec 28, 2012	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...
Dec 27, 2012	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.
Dec 27, 2012	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.
Dec 27, 2012	How Much Are You Missing From 20khz to 45khz? No. It is a big but inaudible difference.
Dec 16, 2012	new processor decision....help me decide You can decode twice if, in between, you re-encode. This is rare in multichannel but is possible.
Dec 16, 2012	new processor decision....help me decide Since you are most interested in room correction (sound differences, via HDMI, are tiny by comparison), the Integra would seem to be the best bet, especially as you can up grade to AudysseyPro if you wish. The Anthem comes next. The Marantz lacks ...
Dec 08, 2012	Need advice on bi-amping That 3dB wattage gain is theoretical since the power driven through the LF is the limiting factor such that the additional power though the HF is rarely realized.
Dec 08, 2012	Need advice on bi-amping Bi-wiring is of even less value than passive bi-amping.
Dec 08, 2012	Multichanneled amp question? It will not have any effect.
Dec 08, 2012	Need advice on bi-amping There is little or nothing to gain from bi amping in this way. You can try it and decide for yourself.
Dec 06, 2012	D2v vs Classe ssp800, which would you prefer? The XTZ measures whatever you feed it to. You can feed it to one channel, some channels or all channels. For EQ, use a single channel to develop the filters but pairs/multiples to confirm results.
