Turn off the Secondary Audio Program [SAP] (some firmware versions may say Secondary Audio) found under the Audio Format Button. This should resolve your issue, it did in mine. By the way, if the SAP is on, you were not hearing the DTS-HD Audio, but the core DTS audio. Regards, DSA

As in all things audio related, there are opinions on both sides. I currently bi-wire a pair of ProAc Studio 100’s with a 2M pair of AudioQuest Green speaker cables. The difference between these and my previous cables (single run of Kimber 8TC) was noticeable, but not overly dramatic. For me...

If your unit does not have the latest updates, then it may be worth sending it in to have it upgraded and cleaned up at the same time. It is a quirky little processor and may not have all of the latest bells and whistles, but to me its idiosyncrasies are worth it for the sonic widow it opens...

davidtwotrees I just noticed your equipment listed in your sig and if you are talking about the Pre2DSP, then this is the same pre-pro that I own, check for a green led to the left of the main display; if it is on, then the tape monitor is engaged. This is the only indication that it is on. It...

Is there a tape monitor/external eq switch on the unit. It sounds like it might be engaged and the sound you hear is 'leakage' n the system. DSA

My first question would be why do you need so much power?

I have a similar issue, I use a Parasound 5-channel amp for my HT, but a Bedini 50/50DE for 2-channel; I simply use banana plugs at the end of each run of speaker cable that goes from my amps to my [B&W] speakers (Monster Powerline 2 for HT – Kimber 8TC for 2-channel). When I want to listen to...

Not sure what you are asking here. First things first, listener fatigue is caused by many things, improper speaker placement, poor use of tone controls/equalizers causing the amp to be overdriven, listening at levels higher than the equipment/speakers/room can handle, etc... Both solid state...

I don’t think that you can fully answer this question or make the pole limited to two answers as there are so many variables, first and foremost people’s biases to take into consideration. Let’s face it, some people will not listen to a tube amp no matter what; the same can be said by tube...

http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/?p=925 It's time to start boycotting Sony product's. I have recently started to think about selling my Sony DVD recorder, and will not buy any Sony hardware or software in the future. It may be hard, but something has got to be done.

While they may not have been the best, they did at least carry most name brand electronics plus some upper end electronics. http://www.goodguys.com/

It more than likely is just another line level input for a tuner or or tape deck. By the way, is the unit you have: http://www.upscaleaudio.com/product.asp?itemid=27&catid=29

These guys should be able to help out with a manual. Scroll down to see if it is listed. http://www.vintageaudiomanuals.com/-A-.htm I can not seem to find any other source of information currently; maybe someone else here has more knowledge about this product. Enjoy :)

There are several manufacturers, but they are not all coming to mind, but two that I can think of off the top of my head are: Sony TA-E9000ES (I believe); should be able to find a good price on a used one on e-bay or audiogon. If you want to drop a little cash, then there is the Copland...

You DO if you do not make the basket and are fouled while attempting your shot, otherwise, you get one 'foul' shot if you do make the basket and are fouled while attempting the shot, therefore you get the opportunity to make four points. At least that is the way it is in the pro's. Do not...

Provided your room can handle a 6.1/7.1 set-up. I would much rather have a good well set-up 5.1 system than a mediocre (compromised) 6.1/7.1 set-up. If you have the real estate, then 6.1/7.1 can well be worth it, just remember, more does not always mean better. Other than that, I agree that...

Why not get a good 2-channel amp for the front two speakers and a 5-channel amp for the center, side and rears. This will get you to 7.1 (if or when you want to). This is how my current system is set-up since most of my music listening is done in 2-channel, yet switching over to watch a...

I have tried all types of DSP reproduction, and they all suffer miserably compared to a good two-channel rig. I have even had a good friend set-up a dedicated music room with 5 identical speakers, proper room conditioning, speaker placement, the works; still sounded horrible to me (and most of...

For me it's two-channel. Far more coherent sounding to me with the ability to follow musical lines and interplay between musicians (especially classical). I have many multi-channel [SACD] recordings covering many different genres of music, and to date have only found about four or five that...
