Do I connect video out thru receiver or to TV?
I just retired a Denon AVP-8000 preamp and used its internal switching with S-video cables as a convenience. On my EAD preamp I replaced the optical connection with a good coaxial cable and it sounds much better. Entech (Monster) makes a neat lit... 
XLR to RCA Adaptor Available ???
The Enlightened Audio Design Theater Master 8 comes with 2 balanced to RCA connectors. you could enqiure with them where they get their connectors. 
Looking for 5.1 processor and 5 channel amp
I like my EAD PM-1000 amp and TheaterMaster-8. The amp has a nice rich tone with good bass. The TM-8 is excellent and a big improvement over my Denon AVP8000 but doesn't offer AV switching. More bass with adjustable roll-off, 2 sub-outs, balanced ... 
Bohlender Graebener???
I have a pair of the 520DX with the 220 center channel and X3 for surround. The 520's have a wide, diffuse sound that takes a while to get used to. Better for music than HT unless you have the 220 speaker for HT. They also need to "break in" . My ... 
CITATION 7.1 vs. EAD 500
I really liked the Citation 7.1 THX amp and used it to bi-anp my front speakers and it sounded great but did leave a hole for the center channel. I purchased an EAD PM 1000 and love it. More depth and bass as well as more power and channels. Spend... 
5 ch amp decision- opinions please
I like my EAD PM1000. It is not as "quick" as my Citation 7.1 THX but has a warmer sound with more bass. I understand they have stopped making it in favor of the 8 channel version but you can usually find a used or demo unit on this site. See if y... 
Multi-channel amp question????
I have both a Citation 7.1 THX amp and an EAD PM 1000 amp, both of which are no longer manufactured but can be found here used. The Citation is quick in presntation and the PM 1000 has good bass and a relaxed presentation. Try to listen to the amp... 
CJ Sonographe SA-400 now discontinued Any good?
I have the sonographe SA-250 and its a good amp with a clean, warm sound. Mini-review in Stereophile May 2000, Stereophile class B recommended amp in 2001. The SA-400 should sound the same if not better. 
Buying a Lovan rack from Dynadirect
I own two lovan racks shipped directly from the company thru another person found on Audioshopper. They are shipped with the frame and wood in separate boxes and do survive UPS. Excellent racks for the $$$. They will customize the size of the home... 
Biamp? How does this work?
Bi-amping works for me also. You can also use solid (1 male to 2 female ) audio adapters (phoenix gold or monster) out of your preamp. But, you need twice the number of interconnects and speaker cables. Depending on the amplifier and speaker, this... 
Need a quality Y-adapter for bi-amping
I am using the Phoenix Gold adapter from that Steven mentioned connected to Audioquest Diamond X 2; sounds better than the Monster Y connector it replaced. 
Speakers recommendations when placement is an issue
I have a similar problem, 1 speaker in a corner next to AV rack , speakers 1.5 feet from back wall. My Bohlender Graebener 501's have a good soundstage and wide sweet spot, They do need about 200 hours break in, a large amp and a subwoofer. After ...
