    Tardcore got a reaction from allenh in What's your latest purchase?   
    assuming the intent is to have one pair of speakers connected to a stereo amp for music and then an AV amp for AVing, you would indeed have significant issues using the bi-amp terminals to that end.
     
    bi-amp terminals are intended to allow you to use one amp to power the high end and another amp to power the low end, but only one source.
     
    what you would need instead is an amp that supports a home theater bypass type feature.   I have my system set up this way.  So my stereo amp is always powering my front speakers and then the AV receiver picks up the front/rear duties when in use.
     
    Here's a not-at-all nerdy diagram that shows how I have everything connected.

    I'm going to need to see some credit reports before this conversation goes any further.  FICO scores.  Not this Credit Karma junk.

    I'm with this guy.  I don't believe in germs or crap like that either.  If I can't see it, it's not real.

    Great deal.  If you don't own this record, get it.  If you have a copy, get a second.
     
    shipping is $5.50, which is a bummer.  so buy more stuff.

    Cleaning is over-rated. No amount of cleaning fixes worn grooves.

    I ordered the Cars - Electra Years box set for $80 (6LPs colored vinyl) and the "best of" comp for $25.  I'll probably be dead by the time it ships (june)

    looks like they stuck a 2m red on there.  clearly their cat busted the old one.  
     
    and then scratched off the Marantz branding.
     
    they should store their turntable in a cat-proof cabinet at floor level.
