| iPod as source certain iPods will output a digital music stream, like the most recent ones, but the vast majority of the older ones (like the 5G iPod video) only outputs an analog signal out of the 30 pin connector. This means you have to buy a recent iPod and g... | |
| what sub to get HSU. I like mine. Extension down to 25 Hz for not too much money, factory direct. | |
| Front End Suggestions Streaming Focal makes a small.component that plugs into the back of your integrated or pre amp, using standard interconnects. It's a bluetooth aptX receiver, and if you have a phone that can broadcast aptX Bluetooth, you can stream spotify into your stereo ... | |
| Inexpensive tube amp Not sure this exists under $500. But if it does, I definitely want to know about it...also, per my own experiments with different gear, a tube pre with a SS amp or a tube integrated will best a SS pre with a tube amp. Just my experience.Look at Jo... | |
| Amazed by Blue Tooth finally. Not all USB implementations are equal. It is very possible that the USB in your car was a low grade install, regarding audio. Bluetooth vs USB battle in my "reference" 2 channel system was won by USB, but I am unaware of truly HQ Bluetooth compone... | |
| Setting up lap top for best sound http://www.musicalfidelity.com/support/software-downloads/You should be able to find them here. I own the MF Vlink192, it really improved the USB sound on my PS audio digital link III, I think they are a pretty good value. | |
| Subwoofer for both HT and Stereo Sorry, correction, double up on the connections at the amp, not the pre. Too many beers while watching the giants win. | |
| Subwoofer for both HT and Stereo This is how I connect my sub to my parasound Halo pre. I double up on the speaker posts at the pre. The sub sees the same signal that the speakers do. I have variable crossover and gain at the sub. Very happy. Actually stole the sub from the HT fo... | |
| Setting up lap top for best sound You might have to select the MF VDAC as your default audio device, in the sound control panel, but the re clock of the signal happens automatically. Most DACs these days are asynchronus - true of the MF VDAC to my knowledge - this means they dump ... | |

| Sweet spot in the AudioQuest line of cables Agree RE: King Cobras. Although I have to say, I spent less on my acoustical treatments and they made a bigger difference! | |
| Need help deciding on Rotel Amp for 5.2 sys Just my personal experience, in my HT system, Denon AVR/all B&W/HSU sub, I preferred the LCR at full range, I just thought it sounded better. YMMV. Of course now, I have absconded with my sub to the two-channel room in the basement, don't even... | |
| Need help deciding on Rotel Amp for 5.2 sys Totally agree on the B&K brand, had intended to mention them but was at work. Hence the typos in my previous post. I also have B&Ws in a home theater, and also suffer from a lack of power. I have chosen to place all my attention into the t... | |
| Need help deciding on Rotel Amp for 5.2 sys Surround speakers typically don't need a ton of power, they are used for atmospherics more than anything on a movie track. That would mean a 3-channel amp might suit your needs, but those amps are a little more rare on this site than the 5-channel... | |
| Bel Canto DAC/Rotel 1072 question A good music server can really be expensive. Not sure what your budget is. I went PC audio because it's the cheapest way to get into a music server type of playback system. I like having all 13,000 tracks at my fingertips. No getting up to swap ou... |
