| Need help determining next upgrade - 3rd ATTEMPT OK I've shifted my system to the short wall of the room.

| Need help determining next upgrade - 3rd ATTEMPT Thanks Al, this speaker positioning was in response to a two-person seating layout, which is hard to do in this room. I had a friend over and we were auditioning cables. Was trying to widen out the stage a little. I did originally have the seats t... | |

| Need help determining next upgrade - 3rd ATTEMPT So most comments seem to be angling toward speakers, room treatments and speaker positioning. The room is 12x12x8, so not very large, and square in plan. The guy that treated the Odyssey room at last years RMAF pretty much demanded that I coat the... | |

Entry level looks like $800 or so for new power strip/wall plug/cables. Also have gotten an estimate to run a dedicated line. Schubert, planning to audition the n... | |
| Need help determining best shipping practices I have the original factory boxes and foam inserts. I'll price up the idea of extra box+foam or even the 1/8" plywood. I guess you're rolling the dice with any carrier you select. In my research I've read horror stories on this site about all of t... | |
| hdmi connection IMHO and IME HDMI is not the best way to go. I have experimented with various outputs from my Denon Blu Ray player into my Denon AVR, and the analog outputs from the BDP sound much better than anything else. The quality of audio output from your c... | |

It is a must have on a PC based system, made a *huge* improvement in sound quality on my rig, on... | |
| Looking to get started. please help If you're interested in buying used, your money would go further. That Onkyo unit features bass management, which means to take true advantage of it, you'd have to buy a sub woofer. An integrated is going to have better amplification and a probabl... | |
| USB/SPDIF converter and DAC combinations I also have a DL III. My dream USB converter is an empirical audio offramp, my second choice is the JKSPDIF MK III, link here: http://www.johnkenny.biz/home-1/mk3-hifaceThe reason I like the JKSPDIF unit is it's quite an elegant solution, it's bat... | |
| need help with outdoor system Looks like I need to investigate which signal on the Denon can be mapped to zone 2. I was assuming that I could just use my old Vlink (I have two) and my wife's laptop to send digital signals into the Denon's DAC, then get that out to zone 2, but ... | |
| need help with outdoor system @ DTC - what is DLNA? My AVR has a network card, but I have read that they are unreliable in this unit, and mine is 3 years old, and I've never used the network connection, so not sure if that is a reliable way to go. Yup, I can connect my laptop ... |
