In Reply to: HT/2 channel Can they coexist? posted by scorwin150@earthlink.net on January 10, 2001 at 10:27:19:
I think the key to getting better 2 Channel is NOT running the 2 channel stereo source through the HT processor. By this I mean the 2 channel source device (CD, TT, whatever) is hooked to a dedicated stereo pre-amp. The HT processor's L&R analog outputs simply become a selectable input source on the stereo pre-amp.Yes, this means the stereo pre-amp is always on for both HT and 2 channel listening, but for 2 channel only the HT processor can be powered down.
In my case, I need to change the volume control position on the stereo pre-amp when switching inputs between HT and 2 channel. The stereo pre-amp's volume is typically 9-10am for 2 channel. For HT I have calibrated to a 12 o'clock volume postion on the stereo pre-amp.
Just some of my experiences over the last 5 years.
