| Saw the Stereophile review of the B&W 800 Diamond Other than me, of course. ;-)Kal | |
| Stupid question of the day DIY here:http://www.tkk.fi/Misc/Electronics/circuits/speaker_to_line.html | |
| Revel Ultima Salon 2's vs B&W 802d's It is difficult, if not impossible, to make acute comparisons to a speaker that one has not heard in 2 years and it would be misleading if I attempted it.I do appreciate your interest in such a comparison and my comparisons are as site-specific as... | |
| Stupid question of the day No. The Crutchfield and RS devices are not suitable except to sum the output of speaker-to-line converters. The Xantech will do fine although there are many alternatives.Kal | |
| Stupid question of the day Sure. A pair of speaker-to-line adapters.Kal | |
| Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no? Well, I can understand objecting to excessive manipulations but flatter? I suspect that something is amiss as I have NEVER heard a mch system that is flatter than a stereo system unless it is defective!Kal | |
| Is 75 ohm coax the same as S/PDIF? You asked 2 questions:Would anyone please clarify?Clearly, if I had answered this with "Yes," it would be ambiguous.If I get a DAC with S/PDIF input and buy the appropriate cable, will the two work together?Yes. | |
| Is 75 ohm coax the same as S/PDIF? Yes. | |
| Best "pseudo" multi channel from 2 ch sources I had completely forgotten about the SST Trinaural Processor even though I reviewed it! http://www.stereophile.com/musicintheround/904music/index.html Kal | |
| Best "pseudo" multi channel from 2 ch sources Meiwan wrote: If you are playing redbook cds mainly, the centre/rear channels will just be duplicates of the 2 main channels.Not so. There are many systems that will extract ambiance information for surround and interpolate a center and these incl... | |
| HT Bypass necessary? Exactly. The preamp is maintained at a fixed gain and all levels (for mch) are adjusted in the AVR.Kal | |
| Classe's New CP-800 Pre-amp/DAC. Impressions? It would make no sense to use the output of the DA if one is going to reconvert for digital processing. I think Classe (Alan Clark) is smart enough to know that.Kal | |
| HT Bypass necessary? Right. It is best/easiest done with a preamp that has a stepped volume control so that resetting it to the appropriate level each time is reliable.Kal | |
| Oppo 980H DVD Player for CD use only If you didn't set it up through the menus to get it right, there's no predicting what you have now.Also, why did you start a duplicate thread with the same questions? | |
| Oppo 980H DVD Player for CD use only If you are playing only 2 channel recordings, you should be sure that the Oppo is set up to know you have only 2 speakers and is not set to reprocess stereo into multichannel. It's all in the manual. Also, try the regular stereo output jacks inste... |
