        Yeah. Get a whole-house surge protection device on your breaker box and, if possible, a dedicated line for the audio equipment.

            Pre-Amp Processor Suggestions
            by earwit
            Well the way I see it, Amps and speakers only change a small degree over
            time, Pre-amps in the digital domain are always changing.

            I'm looking from a pre-amp that takes HDMI into account. If
            you like it or not I beleive the future is HD-Dvd and Blue Ray.
            They will...

            1098 hardware upgradable
            by rosros
            Spoke to Mike Sheenan at Rotel. I pointed out that the 1098 is set up like a computer with cards based pci slots. I inquired if this set up would allow the 1098 to be hardware upgradable; much like a computer by swapping out boards. More specifically I asked if the 1098 would allow for the new 5 series...
