I’d suggest trying to eBay some smaller Bostons from the same era – perhaps the A60 or A40. Probably a much better timbre-match than anything current. Naturally, you’ll probably have to buy a pair, even though you only need...

Hey Braveheart, I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood the Help Files. There’s no such thing as a MIDI to line-out cable. The line cables connect between the sound card and your HT receiver, sending the measurement signal (typically a...

Sounds like you need to run an audio line from the TV back to the Onkyo. Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt

Well, Googling “toslink mixer” didn’t come back with much except your thread and another one from HTF a few years back, so this doesn’t look like a product that’s taking the world by storm. I imagine that’s because there is no...

Hey Pete, Even though the DSP-A1 has seven channels, technically it is a 5.1 channel unit. The two extra channels are for Yamaha’s proprietary soundfield processing, so you won’t get a 7.1 light from it. Regards, Wayne A. Pflughaupt
