| Preamp inputs - different quality This may be a long shot, but is each input individually adjustable for gain? My Levinson preamp has this feature so that all inputs can be adjusted for uniform volume. If so, it may be that the inferior sounding input simply is set a tad lower in ... | |
| What is the optimum throw distance? For a high-gain (1.3) screen like my Stewart Firehawk, further back is better. The reason is as follows: A longer throw will minimize the angle of the light-cone, and this maximizes the reflected light back to the viewer positioned at zero degrees... | |
| What Is Best Monoblocks For Around $10,000 Used? I'm using a Krell KSA-200S but for $10K my shortlist (besides ones already mentioned in this thread) would include a set of the big Krell Audio Standards (around $30K new).

| Rega RB300 wire/cable upgrade The Incognito is a popular rewire kit for this arm; if you do an Audiogon search I think there are a couple for sale. | |
| rca and xlr inputs connected simultaneously? Thanks guys, I appreciate your input (no pun intended).I'll make sure I don't connect both sets of inputs simultaneously.I have a Mark Levinson 38 preamp in a second system that I don't use much -- I'm thinking of connecting both the Supratek prea... | |
| What's your worst excuse for an upgrade That new clutch and pilot-bearing just cost me $2500 bucks, and for the same money I could have had a new preamp -- which would give me much more joy than a clutch and bearing -- therefore it is a relative bargain. Okay, I'm buying a new preamp! | |

| DVI Connections I had the same problem and had to buy a DVI switcher. Gefen makes a decent one, here's a link: http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=2179 | |
| Long HDMI vs. short, Long interconnects vs. short As an addendum to the previous post, I didn't realize until now that we're talking about 10 feet versus 18 inches. I concur with the other posters that it doesn't make a difference in your case. (In my case, it was 32 feet). | |
| Long HDMI vs. short, Long interconnects vs. short I faced the same dilemma with a front projector behind me and three amps up front. Although I concur with the statements already made, I opted for short DVI/HDMI cable to the projector and long interconnects to the amps. Thankfully, my Krell HTS2 ... | |
| What is an HDMI input? As an addendum to my previous post, if you do a Google search for "HDMI 1.1, HDMI 1.3" there are many questions out there regarding the possible obsolesence of the current HDMI 1.1 when the 1.3 format comes out. I hope I'm not breaking any rules b... | |
| What is an HDMI input? I heard that what we have now is HDMI 1.1 but that a more advanced HDMI 1.3 is expected soon (higher resolution 5.1 digital audio). Can anyone shed any further light on that? For me, it's the (all too familiar) hesitancy to invest in something now... |
