    Question Power amp setup

    Sorry - predictive text! Will try again! This is very helpful - thank you. But if I do as you indicate using the u pins, how does one amp know to send the LF signal to both speakers, and the other know to send the HF signal? The only way to get a signal to each amp is presumably to send the...

    Hi Chris I have read this section but still don't quite understand it! Do I use the metal links at the back in some way? Sorry - I'm a relative newbie at all this! Thanks!

    Question Power amp setup

    Hi That’s really helpful - thank you. When you say keep each monoblock mono linked, what does this mean? The Arcam amps are stereo? Many, many thanks.

    Question Power amp setup

    Hi All I have a Myryad preamp that I want to connect to two Arcam P75 power amps to biwireable speakers. How do I connect all this together?!

    Headphone amp noise

    I have a Musical Fidelity V90 headphone amp connected to a V90 DAC. When I switch them on I hear "noise" through the headphones (NAD Viso) which is very noticeable. It fades into the background when music is playing, but is very annoying during quiet moments in music! Is this something I have...

    Replacing Onkyo T X-R875 receiver

    I'm thinking of upgrading my amp - Onkyo TX-R875 (purchased in 2007 I think!) - with a newer spec model. I like the sound and look of the Pioneer range but before I audition some, how far up the model range will I need to go to better the sound of the Onkyo? Thoughts welcome!

    Connection issues

    I have a Pioneer LX55 connected to a Panasonic LED tv. I have connected the "main out" hdmi directly to AV3 on the tv and have connected the "sub out" hdmi to my Onkyo 875 receiver (AV2 on the Panasonic). I've done this becuase the Onkyo is not 3D compliant. However, when I switch on the...

    Need player with 2 hdmi outs

    Thanks for the replies. have narrowed it down to a Pioneer LX55 or a Panasonic BDT500 - both £179 and 2 hdmi outputs. I know the Panny doesn't do SACD or DVD audio - but my tv is Panny so would be convenient as far as remotes and user friendliness for the better half! So - on PQ/SQ which would...

    Need player with 2 hdmi outs

    I need a bluray player with 2 hdmi outs. Was looking at either Pioneer BDP450 or LX55 - both now £179. But they are both older models - about two years old? Are there any sub-£200 players I should be looking at? SACD and DVD audio nice but not crucial . Thanks!

    Alessandro MS1 headphones

    Did the exact same thing with my Alessandro headphones - the foam rings seemed to open out the sound to me so prefer these to the supplied pads.
