Preamp w/HT Bypass for Mccormack
Any comparison between the BAT and Sonic Frontiers Line 2? 
Preamp w/HT Bypass for Mccormack
Thanks Swamp. In doing some audioreview reading, it seems that the performance is pretty tube-dependent. Do you have any tube recommendations that seemed to work best with your mccormack?Any other suggestions out there for preamps?Thanks,Rocky 
Blu-ray format... Do you like it compared to DVD?
Only the 80gb and now defunct 60gb ps3 plays sacd's. 
No Dolby True HD signal?
Because the PS3 cannot output the new codecs via bitstream (lossless) and only via pcm, your receiver likely wont display Dolby HD or DTS HD on its front panel, though the sound (in my experience) is still better than bitstreamed Dolby Digital 5.1... 
Headphone Rig for PC?
thanks for the help everyone 
Headphone Rig for PC?
Any significant differences in USB cables? 
Headphone Rig for PC?
That's kind of where I was leaning but I wasn't sure if an additional headphone amp would be necessary. How about the digital connection? I have a silver serpent digital coax, will that suffice? 
Budget AVR as a preamp
the Onkyo 606 doesn't have a "direct" mode for 2-channel according to their website, so that rules it out in my book. Basically I want the best 2-channel preamp I can afford that allows me to utilize the new codecs for movies.

I did mean Dolby-HD and DTS-HD master formats.Thanks 
Greatest Rock Guitar Riffs
some of the greatest riffs in rock history are so simple yet classic:Pantera-WalkMetallica-OneMotley Crue-Kickstart My HeartNot technical fretboard wizardry, but the volume goes up when they come on. 
Blue-ray player with good 2ch sound?
Only the 80gb model PS3 does sacd. 
Denon AVR-2808CI or Onkyo TX-SR805?
I'll put it on the "audition list". Thanks!

Tgrisham,How is the 805 as a 2 channel preamp, and what amps are you running with it? 
Receiver with preouts vs pre/pro
Avguygeorge,Just to clarify, do you use the 875 as your 2 channel preamp as well? With what amp and how do you like the results? 
Blu Ray connectability HDMI / Component
If your tv has a DVI input like my 5 yr old Sony rear projection, you can use a hdmi-dvi cable.
