Newbie confused on 2.1 HT
If you are running a 2.1 set up you do not want the DVD movies you are watching to output a 5.1 signal. Not only will your voice or center channel be very quit, you will be completely missing the rear channel information. What you need to do is go... 
Halo A51 vs Anthem P5
I don't know how much help this will be but, while I have not heard the Anthem amp I have heard the Halo amp and it is a superb multi-channel amplifier. The only other multi-channel amp in this price range that I've heard that might outperform it ... 
bi amp imrpoving?
In that case, if properly implemented and adjusted, you can expect to hear significant improvement in practically all areas of sound. 
We Need An Audiophile TV Channel
I just disagree with the common assumption that if you expose the masses to high-end audio that they will flock to it in untold numbers, or in any numbers actually. I just don't think that that will happen. I have many friend and assorted other ac... 
Would it be worth upgrading from D2 to Classe 800
I think he is asking if it would be a worthwhile upgrade to go from an Anthem D2 pre/pro to the Classe 800 pre/pro. I have no idea I haven't heard either one of them althnjough I have heard the SSP-600 and it is the best sounding pre/pro I have ev... 
Best Interconnects
I guess you could add Nordost Odin to that list. 
Get Him to the Greek
Meridian seems to be placing their products in a lot of movies lately. When I took my daughter to see the last Chipmunks debacle(she loved it), there were some Meridian speakers and gear prominently displayed in the film, in multiple scenes.

An Informal Assessment of Anti Cables
Almarg; I understood the hookup scheme the OP is utilizing, and I agree it is not bi-wiring. I was referring to someone in this, or the previous thread, who was, I think, explaining that parallel bi-wiring is attained through a standard bi-wire co... 
An Informal Assessment of Anti Cables
One thing I don't quite understand. Are you guys referring to parallel bi-wiring as having two distinct sets of wires going to both the high and low connections on the speakers and then also using jumpers on top of that? What could possibly be the... 
Amp for Gershman Avant Garde
I have heard the Avante Gardes many times, with different amps. My friend, who owns a pair, drives them with a pair of Kora tube monos. This is by far the best I have ever heard them sound. Kora is no longer distributed in North America, if I'm no... 
Classe vs Levinson for B&W / Delta vs CT amps
Personally I think you got some bad information. While Classe is a very good match for the 800 series B&W's, the truth of the matter is that B&W themselves use Levinson amps at their factory. I know this from reading an article about B&...

Pre-Amp vs Processor
Not necessarily. It is quite possible that the player will have superior DACs than the pre-amp. If you purchase a two channel pre that only has analogue inputs just be sure to use good quality interconnects from your disc player. If you happen to ... 
Life Death Love and Freedom : John Mellencamp
The version I own is a two disc set. One disc is a standard 16 bit 44.1 redbook CD, the other is a 24//96 DVD, the first to use producer T. Bone Burnett's proprietary "Code" system of high resolution encoding. This system will also be employed by ...
