  1. Hey Youthman,

    Very nice setup, especially for an 11 year old!!!

    The P\DD-1500 is not only a surround processor, it's also a very capable DAC, not a paper weight.

    This DAC can be hooked up without the db 25 cable & also, without the SP-1500 processor.

    To integrate it into you're system, run either a Toslink or a 75 ohm coaxial cable from the CD player to the corresponding input on the back of the processor,

    then run RCA patch cables from the processor to the pre-amp analog CD inputs.

    What this does is it bypasses the DAC in the Integra & utilizes the DAC in the Parasound processor.

    I have both the P\DD processor & the P\SP pre-amp & I use them in seperate systems.

    The P\DD I use only as a DAC for an Audio Alchemy CD player & a Squeezbox.

    The P\SP is in my bedroom rig as a 2 channel Pre-amp.

    Hope this helps, enjoy!!!

    In order to use the DD-1500 you also need an accompanying SP-1500.

    So for now, it's a paperweight, and can be set aside. Connect the disc player, pre-amp, and Rotel with the shortest RCA patch cables that will work. Looks like 1 footers from CableWholesale will do.

    If you ever want to hook it up in the future, you're going to need the signal processor (SP-1500), DB25 patch cable, tos-link cable, and preferably a 5 channel amp (if you intend surround use); however, you could certainly continue to use the Rotel for 2 channel listening regardless. Once you acquire a SP-1500, you'll no longer have use for the LD-1100 and can set that aside.

  2. I have a pair of KLF-20 for my main room, the kgs are for my office/shop, basically a bedroom.

    What is it that you like about the 4s?

    Just by looks, they look more refined to me. Do you think they sound more refined?

  3. I have a pair of 4.2s that I love, & I just picked up a pair of 4s. I only have room for 1 pair so I'm looking for opinions on which pair should grace someone else's room. I haven't hooked up the 4s yet, so I will definitly reserve final judgement until after I give them a good, detailed listen.

    So, what do you think?

  4. Yea Blu, it really sounds good at all volumes.

    What you see from top to bottom is Audio Alchemy ACD11, Monster power HTC 2600, B&W LCR60 S3, Adcom GDA-700, Adcom GCD-600, B&K ref 50 S2, Denon DVD-2910, Adcom GFA-5503, Squeezbox classic, Adcom GFA-5800.

  5. Hello, I asked a similar question about some newly acquired kg-4.2s.

    I just acquired a set of KLF-20s in medium oak, is this a lacquer finish similar to the kgs.

    The cabs are in decent shape but will need some scratches & a small water stain removed.

    Should I remove the lacquer before attempting any repair?

    Thanks guys.
