| Which inexpensive cd recorder to go for? Pedrillo you're welcome.Further discovery of the ins & outs of EAC show a need for a 'read' AND 'write' offset figure to be added to the software for complete accuracy.Searching right here on the 'gone, will provide links to just what is neede... | |
| Best next step to upgrade sound? Bite the bullet man... you're a closet tube head! Step into the light! Get yourself a real nice disc player... dig your rig... and investigate that Prima Luna int. It's not too pricey, and offers both SET and ultra linear output. A couple folks he... | |
| Which inexpensive cd recorder to go for? Just for the sake of accuracy here, uh, perhaps a Sony DVD burner isn't the way to go afterall... my DRU 840A quit burning. Still reads, but burning ain't happening no mo'. I took it back and got a LG multi format DVD drive... no BR, but it does a... | |
| Universal player - Multi-channel HDMI question? A HDMI DAC might be coming down the pike, but I know of none currently.The 1.3A HDMI interface allows for both HD video & AUDIO. Getting components which have the HDMI 1.3 interface will provide a single wire connection and some very good degr... | |
| auditioning sessions vs. listening sessions Honest1 I'm not experiencing issues such as yours, mine are more mental than anything else. I don't see the glow of the tubes so I have no way to determine if any of the lot are uh, 'making plans' towards extra ciricular activities... or just not ... | |
| What are your fav “Off Hollywood” films Jax2 yeah. Some were, but I'm pretty far removed from thaeir eras so the Hollywood bounce didn't hit me as squarely when I thought of them... they weren't from my generation. Well the Humphrey ones anyways. The Hitch flicks were I suppose, but aga... | |
| Any new ideas on an old theme? yeah. There's the rub. Around here marble, granite, and one other I forget the name of now, aren't real expensive per precut piece. The problem is and I suspect they know it too, is their idea of precuts ain't my idea. Hence ya gotta have 'em slic... | |
| Any new ideas on an old theme? Got everything cut up today for all the speakers and sub. I'll be shuffling about the mains this week and set them by this weekend hopefully. 3/4 inch Birch about a inch greater all around than the unit's native dims.I wondered too about using sto... | |
| Which inexpensive cd recorder to go for? I vasilated over that aspect for some time. Reading this bit and that about different drives. Settled on a Pioneer multi drive. The Pioneer however didnt like my PC for some reason actually it didnt like the DVD burning software I use. So I wen... | |
| PICK ONE... ONKYO 805 or MARANTZ 8001 "Not much for video my man!"uh... me neither. hence the receiver, DIY screen, and 720P LCD FP.... Having the Sonata IIIs already though put me onto the path of outfitting the rest of the ch's with 'same same' speakers though. To be safe-er, adding... | |
| What are your fav “Off Hollywood” films I held back mentioning “Out of the Past” but am glad Albert did. Mitchum always has been a big deal for me. With an immense filmography to his credit, I especially liked The Friends of Eddie Coyle, Eldorado, and Five Card Stud, just to name a few.... | |
| Cd recorder continuation I've heard this topic for some time, and the machine you use determeins that, although, trying those used in a PC setup can't hurt.... either they'll work or not. Right?The roaylaty mention is accurate too.Blank CDs like audio & video componen... | |
| why did you buy a separate HT amp? I think you just answered your own question, pardner. | |
| Separate Break in for CD/SACD? Well, more than that too... some CD/SACD players use different lasers as well. If DSD is a feature then those circuits need be run in too as Red book won't use that path.I just had a new 'sled' put into my Sony SCD xa777es SACD/CD player. I was am... | |
| Which inexpensive cd recorder to go for? I can appreciate the learning curve necessary for some upscale or intensive PC ripping/burning applications. However, being near dumb as a stump myself, I'm able to superficially manage EAC. Exact Audio Copy rip & burn software presently.The r... |
