| Preamp - Processor for 2 channel music auxinput, Why not use your Oppo 105? It has a built in surround processor and an excellent audio section with XLR and SE outputs. I streamlined my system by using my 105 and removing a Parasound AV-2500 preamp/processor and VTL 2-ch preamp.Tim | |

| Best option for Amp upgrade... I do not doubt having the full SMc mod performed on your McCormack DNA 500 amp would likely improve its performance and that key vulnerable internal parts could be replaced at the same time. But it is expensive and while the amp design may s... | |
| Best option for Amp upgrade... shoff, I suggest you sell your McCormack DNA-500, especially if you think you can get $3k for it. It’s likely got a few years on it and certain internal components don’t last indefinitely, especially power supply capacitors. Your Rockport Mira II ... | |

| Help a guy out? Renovating home theater system after 10 years and have a few questions.

It's similar to mahl... | |
| Help a guy out? Renovating home theater system after 10 years and have a few questions. gdhal, Technically, I believe you're correct that Samsung's QLED is the most recent technology. IMO, however, OLED is the much more impressive technology. The latest 65" LG and 65" Sony (which uses an LG panel) 4K with active HDR models cle... | |
