What Pre/Pro do you recommend?
Clarification: I already have bass management through the Rotel 1066. I'm very happy with the sound using my Martin Logan Depth Sub...thats the reason I wanted my next pre-amp to have bass management....it would be a bonus if the next pre-amp/pre ... 
What Pre/Pro do you recommend?
For comparison, I've had some pretty high end HT processors. The best ones were a Meridian 861 and a Classe SSP-75, and they were both easily outperformed by preamps in the $2000 to $3000 price range. Zd542....Out of curiosity..which 2 channel pre... 
What Pre/Pro do you recommend?
Zd542....Music is way more important. Especially optimizing the sound for my TT. Although I do want at least 5.1 abilities for movies and concerts. Dbphd....The Oppo 105 achieves processing and bass management?Maybe thats worth exploring.Any and a...

My new TV doesn't have an RCA video in.....
False Alarm....I didn't realize it but the Rotel actually has component-monitor out. Thanks anyways.Happy Holidays

record stores in Chicago
Years ago there was a used/new vinyl record store in Chicago I used to shop at. The owner was always crying about an ex-girlfriend...and the guy that worked for him was rude, and refused to sell me the We are the World record. I left,bought a CD p... 
$3000k range amplifier
Or a Pass X-250 and throw in your favorite used 500 dollar power cord. In the 2500-3000 range I don't think you can beat an X-350 or an X-250. These amps are bargains in this price range. There also not hard to find and I don't think they will eve... 
Good $250 Power Cord
"06-29-09: Jmcgrogan2Well I would first ask, what are you looking to accomplish with this power cord?"I may be wrong but I think he's looking to transfer power from his outlet to the component.........as opposed to say using it as a leash to walk ... 
Todd Rundgren Best of Lp's
Marty- I'm a big Todd fan from way back. Your description of Todd is absolutely spot on. I've been to shows where he actually will start playing a song everyone wants to hear only to stop abruptly and say "tricked you" and proceed to start playing... 
Emotive XPA-2 any thoughts?
I won't make any comparisons to top flight amps like the ones I mentioned above. I will just say this: At this price point this amp is a ridiculous bargain. I'm driving Martin Logan Ascents with huge success. I had my buddy who is (for lack of a b... 
Emotive XPA-2 any thoughts?
I have the XPA-5. I've owned Pass/Krell/Aragon/Plinius etc. I am extremely happy with the Emotiva XPA-5 in 2 channel and 5 channel. If your just looking into a 2 channel amp,check out their Reference(I think the RMA-2)2 channel amp. If your not ha...

Anyone know where I can get a used mini van for around 75K? 
Receiver with preouts vs pre/pro
I'll relay my experience regarding this. I have a Rotel 1066 pre/pro. My amps for my 5.1 system have varied,but the example I'll use involved a Krell KAV 3250. I used this amp to power my fronts and center. I have an Aragon 8008 powering my rears....
