Subwoofer wiring for Audessy EQ, advice needed
Should make no difference. 
DTS Master Audio how to wire??
"I have tried Hdmi on video assign and Coax digital but only passed DTS and DDigital, but not lossless audio formats. "You need to assign HDMI as both audio and video source. You cannot pass HD audio via coax digital.Kal 
Empire head shell
I do not recall if the insert is removable but I would not remove it anyway in order to maintain the precise alignment of the pins where they meet the contacts on the arm shaft.The unsoldering/soldering can be done with the insert in place. (I hav... 
Empire head shell
You can replace the leads themselves quite easily but you will have to de-solder the old ones and solder in the new ones. The insert cannot be replaced as replacements are not available.Kal 
Oppo BDP-83 SE vs McCormack UDP-1 Deluxe
I suggest you see if you can fit the Oppo into the McCormack chassis. ;-)Kal 
Pre/Pro in Computer Setup
The HD621 does not decode anything. It either upsamples or passes the audio it strips from HDMI. It is also an 8channel device.Kal

PC audio with S/pdif input only
Get a Squeezebox Touch. You can connect it by wireless or by Ethernet cable to either the iMac or a PC and to the Sim by coax. See: http://www.stereophile.com/computeraudio//logitech_squeezebox_touch_network_music_player/Kal 
Can volume/selector pots be switched out of a pre?
Sure. If you are willing to give up the remote control, you might even consider stepped attenuators for the VC.Kal 
Recommended Shostakovich?
Try Janson's BluRay of "Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk" on Opus Arte. It is all powerful and fascinating but you will get a kick out of the close-up of Jansons' glee and animation conducting the raucous intr'acte!Kal 
Janszen Speakers - help
Ah. Well, you will have to get another wall-wort, of course. The control is probably the level control for the tweeter. In principle, all you have to do is plug in the PS, connect the terminals up to an amp, and listen. I urge caution since these ... 
Janszen Speakers - help
