| Subwoofer for Both Music and HT REL subwoofers will let you setup the sub for both music and HT separately; speaker cable hookup for music; audio cable for HT. They default to the music connection, and switch automatically to the HT mode when a signal is received from an HT deco... | |
| CD Player buying decisions Where do you live? Spearit Sound in Massachusetts sells both NAD and Music Hall. You can then do your own show down and decide for yourself. In any event, your list are all good choices depending on final taste. | |
| Does the C-J PF-R invert absolute signal polarity? FYI, Reverse "polarity" on a recording is not the same as the preamp being out of phase. The same that flipping an AC plug reverses the AC polarity, but the preamp is still out of phase. These terms get confused a lot.The speaker cables must be fl... | |
| An odd idea You could also just use speaker cables with banana plugs, and then just manually switch the cables at the speaker to change between amps. | |
| An odd idea Why can't you use the 2 channel amp that you want to use for audio/music, to also run those two channels for HT?? This is actually not an uncommon setup. | |
| Which Integrated? Well if you feel the Unison "blew away" the Blue Circle CS, then you better get the Unison. The YBA probably won't be your cup of tea either. It is all a matter of taste. There is no one size fits all amplifier. You are far better off forming your... | |
| Which Integrated? I agree with the YBA DT. If you insist on a brand new amplifier, then look at the Blue Circle CS. | |
| Does the C-J PF-R invert absolute signal polarity? Yes the PFR is out of phase. It does not make a "BIG" difference, however to most audiophiles, a small difference mattters. It may affect some systems more than others. It will probably sound like there is less bass when out of phase. The out of p... | |
| Integrated preout to subwoofer is the best The best for that subwoofer maybe; but if you had a REL sub you would probably come to different conclusion for audio. As always, "every system is different". | |
| Review: Blue Circle Audio Music Pumps Amplifier I have had discussions with Angela McCar at Blue Circle. This project started out as a private joke. So was displaying it at an audio show (Montreal, I think). It was never intended to be a product. Kind of like those B&W Blue Room Minipod spe... | |

| Is good sound possible with an inexpensive DVD? FYI..Cambridge Audio also makes a DVD player. Has upgraded picture as well as sound, over a cheap DVD player. It has some computer type features I believe as well. It lists for $399. Demos are available quite often at Audio Advisor for $300. There... | |
| Interconnect length PS..When I noted above that in my experience shorter was not always better, it really was a system related comment. I've played with systems that were already a little too analytical; so a shorter cable that makes the system even more detailed, et... | |
| How do you find BEST classical recordings??? I recommend National Public Radio (NPR) Performance Today book called "The Basic Record Library". It has over 800 listings with catalog numbers. It is available online for only $10 at this link...http://shop.npr.org/catalog/Product.jhtml?CATID=8&a... |
