    Weird IR Problem - Please Help?

    I have an IR sensor and a connecting block set up so that I can control a bunch of equipment that I keep in a different room from my main setup. I am currently using IR emitters, placed on or near the device's sensor, which works fine (but not perfect). On some of my equipment, (namely my...

    Rotel RSX-1065 vs. Denon/Yamaha etc.

    I'm considering an HT integrated receiver in the $2000 range and have been trying to decide between the upper-end Denon and Yamahas, versus the Rotel RSX-1065, which has been suggested to me by my local dealer. It seems that the Rotel might be the better product, but I'm not sure. I'm...

    What is Wrong with my Sub??? I'm Going Crazy!

    I have a Sunfire True Subwoofer MKII, going into an Integra Research RDC-7. I recently moved, and since I moved, for some reason, I now am getting a very annoying on-again off-again (though mostly on) buzz coming out of the sub. IT IS DRIVING ME NUTS! It is loud enough to drown out any...

    Zone 2 Question

    OK - here's my situation. I am about to move into a new apartment, and one of the things I plan on doing is having all my HT equipment in my bedroom, with wires running into the living room (which is the main listening room). But I also want the bedroom to be the 2nd zone, so that I can watch...

    Krell Fans - I've Got a Question

    I currently have an Integra Research RDC-7 pre-amp paired with a Krell KAV-500 power amp. Obviously I am only using 5 of the 7 possible channels on the RDC-7. My basic feeling about the system is that it is fabulous on HT (5.1), but can be better on 2-ch music. Here's my idea. I buy the...

    Integra Research RDC-7 Owners Unite!

    I just bought one of these, and so far have been very impressed. Does anyone know of a web forum that is dedicated to this pre-amp? I previously owned a Sony 9000ES, and loved the various web sites dedicated to it. If not, anyone interested in starting one? I would volunteer to if someone...

    Crackling on One Rear Speaker?

    Here's a new one for me - my left surround speaker all of a sudden is now crackling. Only the left, no matter which input, no matter what volume. Only goes away when I power down the system. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, David

    High Quality RCA to DB25 Cable?

    I am using the one that is supplied with the Integra Research RDC-7, but I get the feeling its a pretty cheap cable. Considering I have gone to all sorts of lengths to upgrade to SACD, it doesn't make much sense to use some crappy cable. Anyone know of any? David

    Those Damn Hard Power Buttons!

    I just spent $1350 on the new Sony SACD 555ES, and the thing still has a hard power button. I am using it with a Integra Research RDC-7 pre and a PS Audio Power Plant, neither of which have a switched power plug. The RDC-7 has a 12V trigger, but the 555ES doesn't have an input. I am also...

    Integra Research RDC-7 HELP!

    I finally pulled the trigger on the RDC-7, and have one problem ... I CAN'T GET THE MULTI-CHANNEL TO WORK! I have a Sony Multi-Channel SACD player (555ES) into the provided 25 pin connector, and I'm getting no sound. I have selected "Multichannel - ON" in the menu for the component I'm using...

    Lexicon MC-12 - I Have a Few Questions

    This looks like it could be the pre-amp to beat, but I have a few questions: 1. Does the analog by-pass allow for bass management? Specifically on 2-channel sources? 2. Does the video switcher allow Composite to S-Video, and vice versa conversion? 3. Do the digital outputs only work on...

    Technical Question Regard a Digital SACD Feed

    If and when the studios figure out a copy protection standard and SACD players are allowed to provide a direct digital feed to a pre/pro, will current pre/pros on the market be able to be software upgradable to handle the new digital format, or would one need to replace their hardware? Thanks...
