Just curious,
Obviously the debate of cd’s vs vinyl will always be subjective to the listener. My question is an odd one.
As I don’t have true full range fronts - is it better to run them ( for my Arcam Receiver) Direct Mode (aka zero dsp mode and no sub) or in an Analogue stereo (aka 2.1 which utilizes my sub) while using my turntable? The most direct, unaltered signal is always best but, since my fronts run out of steam early, is it cheating using a sub? I get the answer is whatever I prefer...I just wanted to see what others think. I’m thinking of upgrading my fronts and I’m considering monitors vs floorstandings.
But for some reason I don’t have any reservations playing 2.1 or 5.1 with cd’s or streaming.
What are your guys thoughts?
Mike
