| entry level bluray? OK. Thanks. Your comments are very instructive. I think I'm on my way and the Panasonic is probably the best choice right now. Lynne | |
| entry level bluray? If you have the time---how would the HK Blueray (Ithink it is a BDP 1) reman being auctioned on ebay currently compare to the Panasonic that you recommend? Lynne | |
| entry level bluray? Thanks, guys. It's embarrassing to be this ignorant. I'd like to think I know a little about audio. But you have made this point very clear to me. Lynne | |
| entry level bluray? Ok, Dave. What is the purpose of the multi-channel outputs and the HDMI? Sorry to be so ignorant. I'm trying to catch up. | |
| entry level bluray? OK, Thanks. Oppo sounds good. | |
| Cables – Speaker as well as interconnects – ugghh Thanks, Al, I appreciate very much your taking the time. It means that I should never again recommend a brand of cable. If I ever run into the review of the AR9 that states that the only measurable impedence is in the form of resistance, I will se... | |
| Cables – Speaker as well as interconnects – ugghh Al,Does "benign impedence" mean no measurable capacitance?Best Regards,Lynne | |
| Is it possible to get Hi-end sound ?? Elizabeth, What is "bloom" anyway? Distortion, right?Lynne | |
| Cables – Speaker as well as interconnects – ugghh I also like Signal Cable and Paul Speltz Anticables and have both. Audioquest was always a good value too but maybe not as much as the first two. Nordost doesn't work for me. I get a harshness in the highs. | |
| Volume control vs. attenuation control Thanks for the iluminating explanation. | |
| Volume control vs. attenuation control Ergo, my integrated amp has a "gain" setting which defaults at zero gain and which can be adjusted to plus or minus settings. So the zero "gain" setting is set at an arbitrary position by the manufacturer, and actual amplifier gain would be the hi... | |
| difference from higher input impedence on amp? Very cool, Herman. Thanks. | |
| difference from higher input impedence on amp? Don't know how you were intending to experiment, but I keep Rothwell IC attenuators on hand which simply plug into the amp's inputs. I think Partsexpress has cheaper ones. The Rothwells are 10db usually, but they do make a 20 db which you usually ... | |
| Volume control vs. attenuation control It's highly advantageous to play around with both controls in order to match amp and pre. I would consider myself lucky to have such ability. You want enough gain in each to optimize sound quality and not too much as to cause distortion. And you w... | |
| Anticables Review I feel like a broken record, but Paul told me that he didn't think I would like biwire and recommended parallel wiring instead. Turned out I didn't like biwire. He sent a pair of jumpers with the biwired cable and about three weeks in, I used them... |
