| Whatever happened to these brands? I've never heard of those brands! | |
| Why do mass marketed CD's sound so crappy? I think they're just clueless, both the artists, producers, record companies, the recording and mastering technicians, etc. Give it to have that "loud," "punchy," "fat" sound to have it stick out on radio play (or in boom boxes). I don't think a l... | |
| Please explain in simple terms...brightness excess treble energy. | |
| SA-CD/DVD-A? meant to say NOT THAT GRIM BOB. Typo. | |
| SA-CD/DVD-A? It's still not that grin Bob. Going to your analogy you could likely still find a used (ormaybe new) serivable Betamax player if you wanted to. So you wouldn't totally be up $%!# creek. sony long supported betamax long after the public dismissed i... | |
| SA-CD/DVD-A? It's really no different that reel-to-reel tapes. It's mostly a high-end niche. I imagine SACD and may DVD-A (dualdisc?) will remain audiophile niche products for the forseeable future. This means players as well as audiophile media (software). If... | |

| Turrntable With or Without Suspension? We had a suspended thorens 166. Tried a DIY high-mass stand. And just like some of the other responses any time someone tip-toed around the living room or even shut the front door the stylus would skip. It was pretty bad until we got the wall shel... | |
| Frequency Charts Ditto, log scales closer approx how we perceive sound. like the difference between "white" noise and "pink noise." White noise is more or less equal energy (noise) over the entire range of frequencies, from say 20hz-20khz. So if you were to think ... | |
| Turrntable With or Without Suspension? Don't care, you NEED a wall mount. Or one of those $15k vibration/earthquake resistant lab supports. I can't think of the turntable that will accomodate what you are attempting to do. I do not think your list of contraints is realistic. | |
| Budget tuner? Would I not get a "top" echelon Sansui right off of the bat, but rather one of the second tier tuners, like MWilson suggested. Then see if your FM listening patterns require something better. For most of us you may not want or need to proceed furt... | |
