| Dacs better used from DVD or Receiver? The dacs in the Denon 3803 are supposed to be very good. However, Ive noticed a big difference in sound when using the analog connections from the DVD player to the receiver (also a 3803). Im using both digital and analog connections. I thought ... | |
| Digital cable set top box connections Blueswan,The box is not HD. the unit is made by Motorola. It has a single composite output and a single RF output. It has no component or S-video outputs. I told my co-worker that the connection setup that he has stinks and that he needed to get t... | |
| DVD player used as a CD player good/bad I agree with Thsalmon, I also have a Denon receiver with a Toshiba DVD player but I have both the digital and the analog connections hooked up. In two cahnnel "direct" mode the analog connections sound much better. I doubt that you would hear much... | |
| Center Channels sound crappy Eldartford,Yes you are absolutely correct! As a matter of fact you would be missing more than "something", you would be missing almost everything including all of the dialog of a film soundtrack. That is why you don't want to just disconnect the c... | |
| Center Channels sound crappy Eldartford,I seem to recall you saying that "something was missing". I simply meant that all the center channel information is re-directed to the L & R channels so I could not understand what could be "missing". Perhaps you could elaborate so ... | |
| Center Channels sound crappy Eldartford, You are incorrect in saying that you are "missing" something with a phantom center channel. Let me explain. If the center channel option is turned off in the pre/pro then it will re-direct ALL of the center channel data to the L & ... | |
| Center Channels sound crappy Slappy, It's really quite simple. The left channel plays the left track, the right channel plays the right track, and the center channel plays them both, severely smearing the soundstage. This situation cannot be fixed short of SACD or DVD-A multi... | |
| paradigm signature when is it coming out? Profrancis, perhaps you could let us all know where on Paradigm's web site we can find these new "signature" loudspeakers. I've been all over their web site and cannot find anything. Thanks | |
| Why Veneer? Actually, the "cost" of building a speaker cabinet has nothing to do with the use of MDF. The fact is that some of the finest and most expensive loudspeakers in the world use MDF, many of which are built on a "cost no oject" basis. | |
| Buzzing in my speakers w/ new amp Sugarbrie, I certainly hope that when you say everything should be plugged into the preamp, that youre not including the power cord as well. You should never connect the power cord from your amp into the power outlet on the back of your preamp. H... | |
| MC-1 or Ref 30 Thank you for all of you input folks. Lakerat2124, Arealavfan, Argent, and rmml, it's always good to hear everyone speak well of the unit I was leaning toward. I believe my mind is made up. | |
| Is the Adcom GTP-750 any good? abecollins, you've got it wrong! The Adcom GTP-750 is NOT a 2 channel analog preamp. It is in fact a 5.1 channel Dolby Digital surround sound audio/video processor. Otherwise known as a pre/pro. Know what you're talking about before posting! | |
| Do the Audio gods shine upon you? Slowhand, there are literally dozens of varables involved when it comes down to the perfect evening in front of the HI-FI. More times than not it's usually some kind of background noise that you're only aware of on a sub-concious level. You can't ... | |
| best used 5.1 dd/dts pre/pro? Chstob, The Bryston SP-1 is Brystons only preamp processor. Is is said to be one of the finest preams available for 2ch music. It rivals many of the finest preamp only systems at any price. To add frosting to the cake, i'ts got a decent 5.1 sectio... | |
| Best reciever for Paradigm Reference .. Argent and Rsuminsby hit it on the nail. Keep the Bryston. Why would you even think of changing to a reciever? BTW, which pre/pro are you running or plan on running? |
