In Reply to: Hot Setup? Pre/Pro for HT and 2ch posted by Bry on May 31, 2001 at 12:46:38:
I use an Outlaw 1050 receiver for all surround sources (sat, DVD), and use the LR pre amp outs to a deidcated music pre (in my case a Foreplay pre).
All audio (CD) is run directly from the DAC to the Foreplay.dg
Follow Ups:
I agree with this approach, but am not doing it currently. I have an old Hafler DH-100 that I may try for fun, but can you recommend an audiophile high quality 2 channel pre-amp / switcher with remote capability so that I do not lose the remote volume control / mute capability for CD's ? Any good used ones out there?
You don;t mention a budget, but I assumesomething inexpensive.
Remotes are hard, I really like tube pre's and a remote with a tube pre is impossible under $1k pretty much.
Barring tubes, personally I really dig passive pres. A passive has many limitations (short cables required, may not work with all amps) but if it works- it is a great sound- very clean
I used a Creek OBH-12, which is a remote pre with 3 inputs- perfect for 1 source plus HT receiver.
It looks tiny, any is cheap, but there is inherent quality to simplicity.
Drop me a line private like, . I have mine spare. I gotta get a remote replaced from Creek (went south) but can send mineto you to try. If you use a learning remote maybe we can download the codes and save time.dg
i was considering configuring a system that way but are you able to utilize a powered sub for both movies and 2 channel music this way?
if yes, how is it all connected?
thanks!
I use a sub in line with my main speakers
The signal goes from my pre out to the sub (Bag End Infra 18) which has a crossover to the mains, so for both stereo & HT I have my sub.Perviously with other subs I did try to use the receiver's crossover for music, but going through it;s circuitry really killedthe sound quality.
If possible I would recommend you get a good quality external crossover like the Paradigm X-30 (which, coincidentally, I have a brand new extra one I no longer need....)
Take pre amp feed to crossover, then it provides the leads for your sub & mains.
This allows you to high pass your mains, saving your amplifier the load, which should open up your mids & increase clarity.If you want extra LFE bass too, just run the LFE out from your receiver to the other sub input.
