| Stereophile's refusal to review more low Paul, facts are usually different from impressions. If I had the time to analyze all of Stereophile's reviews for a year I bet there would be quite a good percentage of mid priced gear from small companies. Let's not forget that the reviewers are ... | |
| Stereophile's refusal to review more low Rayhall, I understand how you might get your impression, but you are mistaken. There is no conspiracy here. The manufacturers have no real influence on the reviewers. They are glad to reach the largest group of readers interested in audio/video pe... | |
| Stereophile's refusal to review more low Stokjok, I think a reality check is in order here. Stereophile consistently gets flak for reviewing mid-fi or "consumer" level gear. Case in point: their recent covers of the Denon AVR-4800, and the $600 computer speakers(I forget the brand at the... | |
| Sony 777es ok to leave on? NM, I had the Sony 7700 DVD player just before the Pioneer DV-37, and since I use my DVD player for CD playback, the Pioneer was a welcome relief from the usual Sony digital hardness. It compared favorably with many under $1000 CD players. But, th... | |
| Rel Sub,Where can i purchase???? T1, Try Harvey's Electronics (212) 575-5000, or Sound by Singer (212) 924-8600 in NYC. Neither store discounts, so if you can wait, keep your eyes on Audiogon and save about 30%. I'm glad I chose REL. | |
| combining amp and receiver for HT Joeb,I have the B&W 805's with the matching center channel speaker, and a REL Strata III. I would get the center channel first, then a sub. You need both for great HT sound, but the addition of a center channel speaker makes the bigger differe... | |
| I normally don't ask for help, but..... Positive thoughts are very powerful. I am sending my good wishes to Cindy, Gary and Michael right now. | |
| Power Cord Review Sorry about the typos. Haven't had my coffee yet. | |
| Power Cord Review The PS Audio review would be intersting. It was the second choice in Michael Fremer's review this month, and is the new cable on the block. The winner costs, $1600 more. I hope you can put the comparisons into a value rating as well as a winner of... | |
| sacd help please Emster, does the MC-1 digitize analogue inputs? If so you are not getting the most out of your SACD player because of overprocessing the signal. Ideally, you need an analogue pass through feature. | |
| Sony 777es ok to leave on? NM, short answer , a lot. I am still in the break in process, but out of the box the most impressive thing to me was the CD playback. We can debate the relative differences between the 9000ES to upsampled CD's, and other high end CD players all da... | |
| Paul McArtney on Larry King Glen, perfect pitch is the ability of a person to identify a sound without any reference points. Sort of like seeing a color. McCartney doesn't have perfect pitch, but has probably developed relative pitch, meaning that if a starting note is given... | |
| Paul McArtney on Larry King Phild, other than the really big time rock stars, the Rock musicians I know make far less than their Jazz counterparts. The Jazz players can fit into more money making music situations than the Rock guys can. This has been so in my 28 years as a p... | |
| Paul McArtney on Larry King Being a music teacher who's strong suit isn't reading music, I can tell you a few things. McCartney understands everything functional about music theory. Not reading the notes on a page is not a matter of pride, it is a matter of not really needin... | |
| Cardas Caps Worthwhile? Thanks, Dekay. |
