| Sadly missed manufacturers Heath, as in Heathkits, and Dynaco, although I am not sure how many people have the patience to assemble kits any more. As Al just posted, David Hafler founded Dynaco before Halfer. | |
| Remote Control Codes for DHC 9.9 From the comment I think he is looking for the codes to put into the Integra remote to allow the Integra remote to control other devices. If so, he probably needs to get those from Integra. If he is looking for the IR codes (e.g. Pronto hex) to co... | |
| Need to upgrade but what to get need advice What is driving the upgrade? What part of the sound are you trying to improve - 2 channel or 5 channel, music or movie? Or is just HDMI and the new lossless codecs? | |
| Audio hookups After doing more reading on various Internet forums, it seems that HDMI pass through of 5.1 bitsteam audio to optical (or sometimes coax) output by TVs is a hit or miss proposition - some do it and some do not, even for current models. And those t... | |
| Audio hookups You are correct that coax does not carry 5.1 PCM. It has been a while since I dealt with this. When needed I just bitstream 5.1 over optical or coax, which is what Pentagle should do.I would still prefer to go directly to the receiver rather than ... | |
| Audio hookups My mistake, he needs a TV that can ACCEPT the bitstream, not necessarily decode it. I ran into a situation just this week where the TV would not accept a 5.1 signal. Yes, it is an old HDMI TV, but they are out there. Hence the caution. I agree tha... | |
| Audio hookups RBaker - If using the BR player for 3D movies, or any movies, it sounds like an upgrade to the receiver and speakers may be warranted. 3D video with 2 channel audio is a bit of a mismatch. If the receiver does not have a coax digital input, then y... | |
| Audio hookups Tis49 - I have not run into BR that can only do 2 channel digital out. If that is the case for the Sony then he can bit stream the lossy signal. If he bit streams to the TV then he needs a TV that can decode the bit stream and send it to a digital... | |
| Audio hookups You can just connect the optical or coax digital audio connection on your Blu Ray to the 1400 and leave it at that. There is no reason to connect the audio to the TV. Set the Blu Ray to decode the new lossless codecs to LPCM, since the 1400 does n... | |
| BD Player Oppo and UpConversion The Integra 7.9 does decode the new audio codecs. I would let the Integra do the processing. If you use the analog out from the 103 you may loss the room correction in the Integra unless it turns the analog into Digital. If you are going to do tha... | |
| KLH Model 35 replacement Cambridge Soundworks was founded by Henry Kloss, the K of KLH. Their model Six was Kloss's recreation of the KLH Model Six. I do not think they are made any more, but , you might be able to find them on eBay or,depending on where you live, on Cria... | |
| J River Media Center 19 Just tried Find and Replace on JRiver 19 and it seems to work the same as on v18. You can still do a Find and Replace for drives and folder names. The Update Location to Point to a New Location is a nice option. Seems like both of them can be used... | |
| Mimicking HT bypass with a Nova Pre Home theater bypass is often just unity gain. That is, the pre-amp passes the signal through without amplifying or attenuating it. Some pres simply switch the input to the output, bypassing everything. You can simulate the first situation by simpl... | |
| Ripping software for 2014 On Windows, dBpoweramp is a very good ripper. Personally for clean CDs I use J River ripping, since I use the J River player. I use dBpoweramp from damaged disks. It just seems to handle them better. EAC used to be very popular, but dBpoweramp see... | |
| J River Media Center 19 You need to copy the files over and also copy over a backup of the library so you do not have to do your setup all over again.If both computers are on the same network, you can just copy the music files (flac, wav, mps, etc.) from one computer to ... |
