| McIntosh MR7083 vs. Magnum Dynalab MD100 tuner I own two McIntosh tuners - an older MR73 and an MR7082.I bought both of them used, had them aligned and checked over by my local McIntosh dealer and had both restored to "as new" condition. Both sound great - though I consider the MR7082 to be th... | |
| Death Knell for cd's? Don't hold your breath for discs becoming obsolete anytime soon. Streaming requires a server system of some type; usually with large amounts of media storage. Connection speeds, the quality of the media being streamed, and other factors such as cl... | |
| Alesis Masterlink as a CD Player? I agree with the above two posts not to waste your time with the Alesis Masterlink. I bought a used one to do somemastering here at my studios (I own a media duplication and editing company). It does a nice job for editing to disc, but has a noise... | |
| Question for DVD Burning Gurus? Sorry Vader, but if you use the S-VHS output on your DVD player and connect it to the S-VHS input on a DVD recorder, it will make copies just fine. Keep in mind that most DVDshave about 450 lines of horizontal resolution - which is about the limit... | |
| Question for DVD Burning Gurus? Save yourself a lot of grief and forget about the DVD burner for your computer. Buy yourself a DVD recorder - the current Sony model with the firwire input is a good choice - and save yourself a lot of misery dealing with software glitches, on-lin... | |
| Do You Remember Your First Music Purchase? I think my first record purchase made with my own money was a 45 single of Elvis Presley's "Jailhouse Rock". I think "Don't Be Cruel" was on the "B" side - but I may be wrong about that. I have no idea where that Sun single is any longer - but I c... | |
| Best DVD+R and DVD RW recodable DVD disks Last summer Digital Video Magazine - which is primarily a professional video publication published an article where the various brands of DVD-R & DVD-RW discs were actually tested for data error rates at several test facilities. It was the fir... | |
| Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why? That's an easy one - Stewart Cook - bass player for Credence Clearwater Revival! I liked his style - not to mention that he was my roomate and fraternity brother at San Jose State. Lots of good times together - and he didn't get a giant ego when t... | |
| Cambridge Audio CD4 SE- Upgrade ? CD-R Errors ? Fredman - You are on to something in your last message where you talk about burning your CD-Rs at slower speeds. I own a commercial media duplication company, and we duplicate hundreds of CDs, DVDs, CD-ROMs, and videotapes each month. You will get... | |
| Apple's Music Store - The Future of Music Maybe it's just me, but I genuinely doubt that Apple's service is the "future" of anything other that a boost to a slowly sinking company. I was reading a recent article in the Wall Street Journal that discussed Apple's new music service just befo... | |
| The Future of Recorded Music I saw this thread a few days ago; and thought that I should mention that anyone who is seriously interested in the future of the music industry should take the time to read the current issue of "Mix" - which is largely published for those in the r... | |
| Best CD player under $500 used? I'm not sure what sort of electronics you are going to use your CD player with; but would highly recommend the Music Hall MMF CD-25 CD player. Unlike a number of the other units mentiones above; this is a current model CD player. Has decent build ... | |
| Anyone know of a nice closed-shelf cd cabinet? I second the post for Sorice. True hardwood construction with a furniture grade finish. I own a 300 series cabinet; which currently holds 250+ CDs and a number of video tapes. Cabinets can be purchased with doors that lock - keeping tiny hands out... | |
| Theil 3.5's...Tubes or SS? Just bought a used pair I have owned a pair of Thiel 3.5s since 1996 - (bought them on consignment from the original owner) - and have used solid state amps since I first bought them. I started out with an Adcom GFA-555II amp rated at 200 WPC and later moved on to an all... | |
| Audiogon Annual Convention Let me throw out an idea for starters. Stereophile is going to once again have their High End show in San Francisco in June. I grew up in San Francisco and go there fairly often; as I still have family there. If there is enough interest; I would ... |
