Pioneer BDP-05FD hdmi handshake issues
Sorry to be against the grain but I have the "older" BDP'95 FD. Mine goes into the Denon '4308ci.---then along to the 6020 plasma. I can do 24 fps. I actually paid the full retail of a grand; BB was the only place I could find one. I gave some tho... 
“Real” bass vs. “Boom” — how do you know which?
As you might know the same speakers driven by a different amp can affect the bass like you wouldn't believe. Oh, and lets not forget the source because it also impacts (pun intended)the bass and or quality,thereof. 
How does smoke effect speakers?
Thanks guys;My first laugh of the day. 'Wish I was creative enough to add something;besides more smoke. 
I've got a PS Audio GCC-250 on the way. Mistake??
I too have bought speakers that were raved about,here-- and thought "those guys must be deaf"---and resold them without much loss.(3months later)--This is the only item that falls in this category that I can remember.((Not bad for 10 years))Howeve... 
Novice question whats the difference in
Just to elucidate. I am sure the dna piece takes a reg. 15 amp cord. With regards to a 20 amp cord--the part that goes to the wall is the same,on both cords. The part that goes into the back of the piece is different. It has 2 horizontal prongs --... 
How much difference in sound?
Mr. Blindjim has nailed it for U. I say start with a better cd player. There are very good players at different budgets.I think you need more information from your source, just to be able to tell which amp,which speakers-- 
Good $2k Used Speakers for 20wpc tube amp
There is test in TAS (3/09) on a new Cerwin-Vega cls-215 speaker at a grand retail. From everything they say plays loud and easy to drive and maybe as good as most in the 5k region. 
Neighbor Complaining...
I have resided in apts. for 30+ years. I am also the mgr. at this building,going on 20 years. What I do is; when the apt. next to me is empty, I go into that apt at say 3am. I listen carefully so I know at what point the sound comes through the wa...

First off, congrats on your up coming retirement.-- I hope it wasn't health related.In general,life is short; "eat your desert first".period...After just reading the follow up on the Salon 2's--I say there is a speaker that might tempt me and I se... 
Coax Digital compared to seperate 5.1 for movies.
Some dvd players and some dvd's have a 2ch 24/96 optionSo as you see it is sometimes a menu option on the disc. Players differ, /discs differ. Back when I had the Pioneer Elite '09; that player had a 2ch output as well as a 5.1-both on coax. I alw... 
Recommend To Me Some Tuba Music
My response is closely related--although of no help. Cable radio used to have a part time "Dixieland" station. (i.e. 6am to 10am) They had some pretty hot New Orleans stuff. I love the Tuba lines in many of the selections. Back in the day I would ... 
How much difference in sound?
It would be of some help if you were to mention what speakers you have. The best amp would need a decent speaker capable of resolving what info it received. 
What is the best Beatle Song
I see we still have action on this thread which says a lot.Imagine-no pun intended-a thread this long about a group that started 45 years ago/split 40 years ago. Anybody catch "Rain" on tv? I could be wrong but I think the 'horn section' is a synt... 
Why can't my 32" Sony LCD show component out?
In case some don't know; this IS an up converting tv. ---AS most all tvs are,now a days.--To see up converting in action one needs only to pause a vhs tape. On the older sets,pausing a tape reveals you are seeing 1/2 the frames and naturally the q...
