Classe ssp 600 vs 800 ?
Correct...same with SACD. You need to run analog audio cables from your player into the SSP-600s pre-amp analog inputs. The only time the SUB will receive input from the SSP-600 is when you have a Dolby Digital 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 (or DTS 5.1 or 6.1) ...

Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
Edge NL 12.1s are definite "keepers". I have owned two, still have one after the move from HT+2channel to 2channel a couple of years ago and have not heard anything in the solid state world that approaches it for the sound quality and musicality I...

Djruss: I've owned alot of Audioquest (Sky, Cheetah, Niagara, Raven, YIQ-5, Volcano, Mont Blanc, Gibaraltar, etc, etc...). Sky, Niagara and Volcano were my all time favorites. After multiple years using all for both home theater and 2-channel list...
