| Preamp only? Bypass Necessary? Soix--perfectly clear and specifically responsive to my original post. Having read some of your previous responses, I didn't fully appreciate the solo reference to a preamp also necessarily included an amp to power the front speakers. (I wondered... | |
| Preamp only? Bypass Necessary? Hi Elliot Thanks for your reply. As mentioned in the post, my AVR has pre-outs for all speakers. Perhaps my post was too long-winded and should have limited to the last paragraph where I stated "I have an AVR with pre-outs and hope to clarify whe... | |
| Preamp only? Bypass Necessary? Thanks Jerry. I get that and perhaps phrased my question poorly. Based on earlier posts, I understood one would need and integrated amp with and HT Bypass. The AVR pre-outs connected to the integrated's HT Bypass inputs, the L&R front speaker ... | |
| Your method for discovering great music. reubent-- Thanks for the thought. I access RP via my BluOS app in rder to stream from my Node 21. Usint the RP app allows me to listen on my phone or tablet but I haven't found a way to play that on my system via wi-fi--only Bluetooth to the Node... | |
| Your method for discovering great music. Many references in this post to Rasio Raradise. I does offer a great means to find new music but I have an issue. Each time I "tune in" (typically to Main Menu) the same rotations of music reappear. It appears there is a limited playlist or number... | |
| How do I set the crossover for 2 channel listening on my HT system? bjp9738: Thanks for beng so generous with your time and information. The fronts are set to large and I'll follow your guidance regarding the settings on the receiver and sub and--to take a line from russ69 above--set the sub to its max and then ... | |
| How do I set the crossover for 2 channel listening on my HT system? To bjp9738: Thank you for the clarification that the Denon crossover settings fo not apply to the LFE channel. I was concerned I was mutiplying or contradicting the settings if both the Denon's and M&K's were in play. Based on what you said, ... | |
| How do I set the crossover for 2 channel listening on my HT system? Thanks to all. To oldhvymec4: The front speakers are indeed set to Large in the speaker set up of the Denon AVR-2807. I thus understand the crossover setting on the Denon is irrelevant and the low pass filter setting in the M&K will control. O... | |
| Connecting external preamp to AVR Don't you only need an integrated if you have a separate set of speakers? | |
| Connecting external preamp to AVR I think he may have been referring to the main in/pre out connectors that some receivers used to have that typically were joined by metal jumpers. It is rare to see those anymore. And in reply to ricred, if employing the method recommended by othe... | |
| Connecting external preamp to AVR Interestingly I received a message from a well-known audio manufacturer who said "The Denon L and R pre outs are part of the preamp circuitry with the same shortcomings" indicating that the volume but not the sound would not be improved by adding ... | |
| Connecting external preamp to AVR Thanks for the replies, in particular from soix who previously commented in another disussion and prompted my inquiry. My main confusion was understanding how the signal from the preamp would get back to the AVR to engage the speakers. From the c... | |
| Streamer Advice / Recommendation for Denafrips R2R DAC I'm confused--undoubtedly due to my lack of understanding of the function of the components involved.Soix instructs that: "Since your Denon has preouts, all you’d need to do is connect the front L/R preouts from the Denon to an input of your choic... | |
| Move on from my Bryston BDA-1? Just a thank you to those who responded. Sold the Bryston and purchased an Ares II. I expected a long wait for shipment but it arrived within 8 days of ordering and with several messages along the way confirming the order, tracking shipment, and t... |
