Will digital amps make analog amps obsolete?
I was in in a high end stereo store yesterday to look at the Merician 861 processor. He had the thing hooked up to a pair of DSP8000 speakers. the digital feed goes directly to each speaker. Each speaker has a built-in digital amp, designed just f... 
Meridian 861 users--how do you do it?
So, Kr4--This was the question I asked the salesman. He could not answer it. Are you saying that I can set up a 5 or 7 speaker combination running both analog and DSP? This is while watching the same movie..... 
optical or coaxial audio cable?

How many lines for standard TV, HDTV, DVD, S-Video
I recently started using my S-video connection to my Sony TV from both my DVD player and my satellite system. the beauty of S-video is in the delivery. You can't get more lines from your TV screen than it can give you. But the S-video connection b...

The Cat on the Amp
My cat sleeps on the Satellite receiver. I really don't mind. Of course, if she were to hop on top of my McIntosh 2102 tube amp while it is putting out all of the heat...well lets just say that it would NEVER happen again. This amp protects itself! 
Any potential harm in using adhesive CDR labels?

optical or coaxial audio cable?
You can get a really nice glass ( don't use plastic) fibre optical cable from wireworld for around $100.00. this is not much of an investment. Also, get yourself a decent coax and plug them both in. You should be able to switch from one to the oth... 
Krell FPB Owner want to try Tube Amp or Integrated
Tbe amps. I went to the local McIntosh dealer interested in getting the latest 6-channel (solid state) amp. I noticed the new 2102 tube amp and asked to hear it, after having listened for quite some time to the solid state. The guy went behind the... 
Choose between CD to power amp or passive pre ?
I have my Audio Aero CD player and I don't have vinyl. With a really good CD player, I can't imagine a reason for a passive pre..... 
Satellite Radio at Home
