HT Processor Failing, any ideas on Multi Channel P
Hello and thanks,Just as I thought. Yes I have the BDP-09 and the analog is great. I am thinking that if I go the MCH preamp route I will be safe from future upgrades-something I got tired of with all the possessors I have bought. I agree and am h... 
HT Processor Failing, any ideas on Multi Channel P
Multi channel and two channel - a mixed system-Right now I am using a Pioneer elite Blu ray for HT and running a mac mini with optical out into the SSP. I am using the SSP in analog pass thru mode for the Blu Ray... I think I could improve things ... 
How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound?
I just bought a pair! The thing that captured my attention was how easily they disappear. You literally don't notice them and notice the music instead. The bass is amazing-and the complete tonal range is articulate-never harsh. You must spend a LO... 
Review: Myryad MDP-500 Surround Pre
Not that big of a Nightmare! I am the person who bought the unit from Don. Moreover, after the initial Problem I have been very excited with the unit. So Far (After a few years) I have had no problems and the sound is amazing! I certainly understa... 
Moving to New Zealand from USA Now What?????
Thanks to all for the advise, both about the equipment issue, and where and what to do in NZ. I think that I will bring most of the audio equipment with me as it does not seem to be a big deal to convert it! Sumiko (the us distributor for REL) Was...

Thanks for all the advice! I will be living in or around Auckland-at least at first. The plan is to pack up move, buy a car and drive all over the country. Figure out where we ant to live ect...I Know that Mesa can convert the amp for me, However ... 
Best dd 5.1/dts processor for around 2k used
If you are want a mix of HT and 2 Channel I would suggest a Myryad MDP 500. The sound in two channel bypass is amazing! DTS and DD Are supurb!!!

which HT processor of these three?
Have you considered the Myryad MDP-500? I replaced my B&K Ref with this unit and was amazed at the quality difference. Stereophile gave this pre amp an a rating based on its analog pass through Couldn’t recommend one enough! Jim

I second the Rel Recommendation. I have a Baron Amp and use a Rel storm and am VERY happy with it. 
DVD A Sacd or Stay put for a while
Thanks to all. As usual there is some great advice. The main question was would I notice a large improvement over the system I have now with a purchase of a dvd-a or sacd. Sounds to me like my money might be better spent with perhaps a speaker upg... 
Help -- EAD PM1000 and REL Strata III experience?
I had a simular problem with a Citation 5.1 and a Rel Storm. After contacting sumiko I got a hold of one of their tech support guys who helped me. I believe a 201 still has the "rel cable" If so try attaching the red and yellow leads to the + and ... 
I am Not hurting anything right ??
Thanks to all.My general non scietific "sense" told me that running the jumpers + my Biwire cable (kimber 8 pr) would be the same as running "standard cable" on two posts. As always though I have this FEAR of hooking something up wrong and smellin... 
I am Not hurting anything right ??
I was told by the distributor that the biwire posts were added due to market pressure. From what I understand the manufacturer does not recommend biwiring. ( Their new models can not be bi wired.) I guess I need to reterminate my cables however I ...
