Just hooked up my Musical Fidelity A5 integrated amp, and realized that their remote is really funky. My Sony, Rm-VL-900 learning remote cannot learn the commands. I read something about some remotes have a parity signal, that changes everytime you use a function. All I know is that you can only use one function at a time. If you repeat the learned function, it won't work unless you hit another key and then go back to the original function. Why the ^%$%^ did Musical Fidelity use this method on their remote. It makes it difficult to use any reemote but theirs. I heard the Pronto can duplicate this parity checking. I really would like my Sony to work correctly.

I desired a speaker like this both for my own use in secondary systems, and to fill a need for some friends, who desired fairly full range response (i.e., “it’s gotta have good bass”). Also, though I have access to a good wood shop, many potential DIY enthusiasts may not, so I hoped to use a modified...31 December 2024, 17:31 Tuesday -
I just wanted to quickly post to let those interested that I picked up the Musical Fidelity amp that was calling out my name and let me go on record that I'm VERY impressed with it. I don't have a lot of time before I leave for holidays but I quickly connected the LinkDAC to it and ran my mains to it... -
