| Mitsubishi DLP problem $1800? Hell yeah I am glad I have opted for that extended warranty. The tech said optical engine and also mumbled some other words that meant very little to me. Interesting...you are probably right though, optical engine and light engine could be ... | |
| Mitsubishi DLP problem yes. It is the optical engine....whatever it means. They will take it in for repair after the holidays. | |
| Pre Amp + Amp to run B&W 803S you bought speakers that require a very high quality amplifier. B&Ws will sound terrible if you use the amp that is not totally up to the level of the speakers. This is the biggest disadvantage with B&Ws - they require top notch amplificat... | |
| best classical redbook cds for strings and piano I'll try to make suggestions so the performance and sound quality is balanced, not always ideal, but at least acceptable. Here it is:Hilary Hahn - "Hilary Hahn plays Bach" Midori - "French Violin Sonatas"Mstislav Rostropovich, Benjamin Britten - "... | |
| Mitsubishi DLP problem Thanks! I'll post the update. | |
| Mitsubishi DLP problem thanks for the thoughts.I have tried different inputs. different cables. Same problem unless I use HDMI then it is OK. There is no ground loop. TV plug is 2 prong. I have tried it direct or into Shunyata Hydra 4 with same results.I ordered a tech ... | |
| AC/DC Black ice very harsh comments about Metallica's "Death Magnetic". Only major issue I see is recording quality, but calling it unlistanble is a bit too harsh, IMO. I enjoy it. More so than the new AC/DC.I have not picked up the new G n R yet.As far as AC/DC'... | |
| CDP's being dumped for hard drive driven units? I sold my Audio Research CD3MkII and replaced it with Apple Mac Mini + 1tb HD, via USB into Bel Canto DAC3. Sure the CD3MkII was one awesome CD player and I loved it.But...no regrets. So far so very good. | |
| G'N'R Chinese Democracy LP so sound quality aside, how's the music? | |
| Sax 101... Excellent write up!I would add Michael Brecker to the list of the great tenor sax players. Also, if you are going to check out music recorded by ECM, it is almost its own movement of jazz for the most part. They have a different idea/approach and ... | |
| Upgrade Audio Research CD3 Mk11 I had this player. It is excellent. I would not mess with it. Either get somethig else, like the CD7, or get an external DAC but you will need to spend a lot to get an upgrade from CD3MkII.BTW, if you are not running it via XLR outputs, you are no... | |
| Dynaudio C2 with Plinius 9200 separates usually perform better than integrated amps.this is where the upgrade in sonics would come from, by switching to separates. but in case of speakers that like power, the overall improvement would be questionable at best, since you will be... | |
| ICs with great natural sounding highs? If you have a chanced to try Purist Audio 20th Anniversary Aqueous XLRs, I think you would like these a lot. They sound excellent. I had Cardas Golden Reference, AZ Silver Ref II and Matrix Ref II. PAD Aqueous XLR is a better interconnect. Much mo... | |
| B & W Naut. 804S-Appropriate power source??? Pass Labs works very good with B&Ws. I was driving my N803s with the X250.5 and loved it. You do need good amplifier with B&Ws and also a good speaker cable. | |
| New McIntosh system problem... need advice more bass can make treble appear softer. give it time to adjust to the new sound and if you don't adjust to it, move on to something else. I am not sure upgrading to 703 or 804 will solve the issue completely. If you won't adapt to new sound, Mcin... |
