| Going HD - Should I dump DirectTV? I myself have stuck with Directv and have found their HDTV quality FAR better than the cable offering (as compared in my neighbours 4 houses down the street). The colors are somewhat bleeding on the cable HD signal while the picture is a bit fuzzy... | |
| DirecTV HD question? I recently spoke with one of their technical persons regarding getting telecast of cricket matches and he mentioned I would need a NEW dish (over and above my 3LNB current Oval dish) and the channel numbers for cricket coverage is 2021 and 2022 (i... | |
| Martin Logan Depth vs Rel vs Ruark I have extensively tested both in my 15x17 room with Aerious i (Depth vs REL) and in my mind no comparison! The Depth is far superior and does superbly on reproducing the "missing " notes but what is more important is that it never draws attention... | |
| What amp to match with B W 601 s2? I use(d) a Parasound HCA1000A thx with a Parasound PLD-1500 pre and found the combination very enjoyable. I feel the HCA1000A (approx $350 used) is one of the best values to go with the B&W 600 series (601 and 602). I also had good results wit... | |
| Martin Logan Aeon, anyone heard? In response to Bigpoppakrell:Yes, it is supposed to be the Aerius replacement BUT is "really" aimed in a slot between the Aerius and SL3. That is reflected in the higher $3000 retail (according to my dealer). It is likely that reason for mid-july ... | |
| Martin Logan Aeon, anyone heard? I am not sure if it is even out yet. Retail will be $3000 and is really supposed to slot between the discontinued Aerius and SL3. The woofer design will be similar to the Prodigy but smaller of course. | |
| Sony CDP-XA20ES VS. Rotel RCD 971 I have owned the XA20ES and have enjoyed it immensely. I did replace it recently with a XA7ES (its BIG brother) and after a suitable break in the XA7 now surpasses the XA20 in overall enjoyment. The point here is: both CD players required about 20... | |
| Best Budget Bookshelf Speakers? I would try the B&W 303. They have tweeter technology handed down from their Nautilus line and the highs are reputed to be very clean. I personally feel that they equal or surpass the 601S2 at a 50% lower cost. BTW, outstanding build quality a... | |
| Sony DVD madness. I have the 7000 and 7700 in my system. I briefly had the S330 and the S560 (for 10 days each) and the audio performance on movies was terrible. Worst was the bass response followed by poor treble and dialogue intelligibility. Note that the 7700 is... | |
| Top Ten Tuners of all Time?? Let me add my 2cents for "affordable" tuners (less than $1000 retail -> less than $500 on used market. Check out Sony's latest offering STS-SA50ES (superb on classical stations!), very open and transparent. #2 JVC FX1010Tn or FX1100(Bk). Overal... |
