| Large room challenges Yes, speaking with a professional is the correct path. I have noticed these rooms do have a bass traps on the walls. A ballroom size space is going to have issues with being to lively and would need to be deadened somewhat for music. | |
| 3.5mm mini plug cable Aaronmadler: Thanks. Yes, it's working fine. Switching gears a bit, how do you like your Oppo BDP-83 for CDs? Do you use it strictly for playing music CDs? How's the punch & slam for the bass extension? How about the mids? | |
| Upgrade cdp Sorry no experience with the two you are considering but how did you like the NAD C542? I had the C541i for quite some time. What about staying with NAD and upgrading to the M5 Master Series? This machine can do it all (SACD, HDCD, separate power ... | |

| Any smooth jazz fans out there? I'm sorry I asked. If you're not a fan, then zip it and keep your classless immature opinions to yourself. You don't belong on this forum. I can't believe you would disrespect someone else's musical interest. My intention for this thread was to op... | |
| 3.5mm mini plug cable Thanks all. I ended up going with a $5.00 Radio Shack 6' cable and it works fine. No compromise in sound whatsoever. This is simply to activate the 12V trigger of the amp from the receiver. | |
