| Question about connecting both HT and Stereo Kray,My guess is that your Yamaha is more than adequate for surround/center duties. Now, for the 2 channel part! You could go seperates or you could go with a quality integrated amp. There are WAY too many choices for me to recommend just one. Als... | |
| Question about connecting both HT and Stereo BTW, I would not recommend connecting speaker wires from 2 different systems. The opportunity to cause an electrical failures is too high for my comfort level, especially with expensive gear!TIC | |
| Question about connecting both HT and Stereo Kray,John is right! Build a high quality 2-channel system first. Then, add an HT receiver or processor to the 2-channel system. If the pre-amp (or integrated amp for that matter) has an HT bypass/Processor loop, so much the better, but it is not n... | |

| Did anybody get a chance to hear the Buxter,I would highly recommend changing the title of you post to more accurately reflect to purpose of your question. For instance:Lector CD player-Anyone hear it at CES?That way it is obvious what you are looking for without having to open your ... | |
| What was your first music that you paid for? I started out eclectic! First two purchases I remember were "The Incredible Bongo Band" and The Jackson 5's "ABC".Go figure!TIC | |
| Did you ever just want to simplify? I've done that! I've used a high-end CD plyer w/ built in volume control connected directly to a pair of small mono-blocks (either solid-state or SET) powering a pair of monitors on lead/sand filled stands. Excellent sound in a moderate sized room... | |
| Best integrated Tube amp as an intro to tubes Agreed.....The Cayin TA-30 is very good at it's low retail price. I've owned tube integrated amps from more well known companies that didn't come close at twice the price.Enjoy,TIC | |
| Epos els 3 vs Triangle Titus $300 range new/used.. I've never heard the Epos, so I can't comment on them, although I would be comfortable recommending them on reputation alone at the sub-$300 range NIB.I have owned the original Triangle Titus and I thought it was a great speaker. IT worked well wi... | |
| DVI hookup going directly to TV and not thru amp There is absolutely zero reason (other than convenience) to run a video signal through the receiver. It only causes you to spend twice as much money on cables (requires 2 instead of 1).Run the video signal directly to the TV and simply use the TV ... | |
| Can you help with music selection? Eva Cassidy's "Live at Blues Alley" is a remarkable record. For me, Eva's live record is the cream of the crop and is actually the only one I listen to regularly.Interestingly, I can say the same about Patricia Barber's Live "Companion" set. It is... | |
| Digital Inputs on McCormack Preamps? In general, a pre-amp, by nature is a 2-channel ANALOG device. To have a digital input, it would be a combo unit, ie pre-amp/DAC or a multi-channel preamp/processor. There are plenty of pre/pros out there and there are some good combo pre-amp/DACs... | |
| Universal Digital Player With Digital Inputs? Eldartford,What would make this player illegal? I can't see how using the digital output from a computer sound card connected to the input of a universal player would cause any legal issues for anyone. Lots of high end CD players have digital inpu... | |
| Can I use an 'Integrated Amp' as just an Amp? Joshl,Which Arcam Integrated do you own? Many of the Arcams have an HT bypass/processor loop, which when engaged passes the signal through without being affected by the pre-amp circuit at all.Also, some integrated amps have passive pre-amps and yo... | |
| why hook your dvd-video to your receiver? Elevick,I don't have any sources passing through my receiver (or any of my last 5 HT receivers) and I can see OSD just fine. I simply use a cheap composite or s-video cable from my receiver's video out to the TV. Why send sources through the recei... |
