| Merlin VMS versus VMPS RM-40 versus Proac 3.8 Well Blueshirt, there is an owner of the RM-40's that hangs out at Harmonic Discord's VMPS forum, he lives in N.Y. and has let a few people from that area come over to listen. I would drop a post on that forum, he may see it and offer a listen. | |
| Terminology? Pre-Pro is: Pre amp with digital processor. Did you mean: Medulla oblongada: Lower portion of the brainstem? | |
| Mixing amplifiers. If you are going to mix amps, your first example would be best. If your going to use the little Marantz mono's, use them everywere. Outlaw audio has some mono's at there site you may want to check out, these would be a good match with there bigger... | |
| Attention audio/video guru's ? re. dvd-audio Dvd audio defaults to dvd audio so that you don't have to go into the player menu each time you play a dvd audio disc. Set the player menu to output DD/DTS in bitstream. This may help out. | |
| Is their a CD recorder that can do this ? Sean is right, your sonics will take a hit. Most of the new burn programs have a setting in the recorder menue called volume leveling that you can turn on. | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? Can't say which sounds better, depends on the recording I guess. I don't have a whole lot of multichannel recordings yet, but of the ones I do have, some are much better in multichannel and some are much better as two channel in my system. I think... | |
| Bi-amping versus Bridging for NAD S200's In my humble opinion. | |
| How important is powercord synergy? Dedicated lines will make bigger difference than any power cord upgrade. Improper power cord can damage your amp, this is why you will always get a cord that can pass enough current for your amp to last. Don't use cheap power strip, this could dam... | |
| Integrated amp plus receiver? Bomarc, HT bypass on integrated TIC refers to will bi-pass it's volume control and pass through signal. With Mike's solution you are setting integrated's volume control to unity gain so as to remove it's effect on signal pass through. Both work fine. | |
| Integrated amp plus receiver? You can do it as Myc49 has done his You will need to reset levels with the integrated's volume control at 12 O'clock, when you watch a movie return integrated's volume control to 12 O'clock each time as this is the point you will have calibrated f... | |
| Bi-amping versus Bridging for NAD S200's Most amps sound worse when bridged IMHO, I would go with vertical bi-amp but you could try both ways even with some cheap wires as a test before you buy the better wire, It should still give you a fare idea as to which sounds better even with that... | |
| SPeakers 90% of your sound Unsound, what I ment is your grasp of the fundamental building blocks along with also understanding system-synergy,room-speaker synergy as your posts state, must always result in good sound no matter the cost. | |
| Sony SCD-1 can't read Multichannels Hybrid SACDs Metralla, thanks for the info., I made a copy. I have the xa777. | |
| SPeakers 90% of your sound Unsound, I would guess that every system you put together sounds very good at any price level, well said. | |
| SPeakers 90% of your sound I would have to agree with Rives on the most part, I wish I had a dollar for every time I listened to an audiophile say how bad this or that sounded at a dealer or at one of the big shows, like these guys don't have a good source/amp/speakers/wire... |
