In Reply to: Maybe the processing of the digital? posted by John C. - Aussie on July 20, 2002 at 18:23:12:
I must apologize for my lack of communications skills. The subject was meant to draw attention, rather than make a class statement. My DVD player does quite well when connected to my old Dynaco.It might be, as you suggest, simply a mis-match of equipment. Trying to incorporate new-age technology with older relics may be more daunting than I imagined.
I failed to mention that the Altec speakers are 16 ohm. Denon may not accommodate that as well as 8 ohm. Regardless, the Denon will go before the VOTT's. They are timeless, Denon is not.
Follow Ups:
Try a separate power from the pre outs of the Denon to the speakers, you should get your good sound back, at least most of it...
yeah, sounds like the main amplifier section of the Denon lacks the power/current output of your older unit.As for the digital processing, you might be able to rule that out. Does the denon have preouts? Try feeding the dvd player into the denon, then use the denon's preouts to feed the dynaco. then use the dynaco to power the speakers. This would bypass the denons main amps. If the sound is still weak, maybe the processing is destroying the sound. If the sound is fine. Then the amps in the denon may not be up to the task.
