P. Scan DVD Players and HDTV-ready TV's
I am not familiar with your TV, but I do own a DV-37 and you can switch between progressive scan and interpolated signals. I suspect that when using prog. scan out from the DVD player you can bypass your tv's prog. scan processor. You can then com... 
anyone heard sony s9000es
No Money, Thanks for the update. I have been very happy with the audio quality of my DV-37, but would certainly welcome the SACD option if CD playback was comparable. Now I will have to try and find a 9000ES and check it out. Let me know how you f... 
How did U get into this expensive hobby?
A little over 30 years ago, my best friend bought a big Macintosh amp and preamp with these big upside down cone like speakers (OHM) and after hearing that system a LOT I had the beginning of a reference to aim for. But even then, I noticed that c... 
Audiophile portable CD an oxymoron?
Optimus is a badge name for Radio Schack. Does Panasonic make the Optimus 3400? 
Classe CAP or NAD???
NAD good, Classe, better (much better). 
anyone heard sony s9000es
No Money, Good luck with the 9000ES. Let me know what you think of the "standard CD " playback after break in. I have owned 3 different Sony CD players and they all had a similar approach to sound, ( a bit forward and hard) . If the audio was as g... 
"Burn in" Are you serious?
Here we go round the merry go round. Happy holidays to all. 
"Burn in" Are you serious?
Bravo, Redkiwi. Jostler, If a stereo system sounds fuller (more bass) after breaking in a cable you say I have no way of knowing if there truly is more bass or if I am imagining it, I don't think so. I will not debate the obvious. If my toe hurts ... 
"Burn in" Are you serious?
Jostler, It is true that people will grow accustomed to certain types of sound over time, but that does not mean that they cannot tell the difference in sound quality before and after a break in in period. Also we are not really talking about the ... 
Best Digital Cable around $100 used
The H.Tech. Cyberlink Copper will beat most others in the under $100 price range, but only by a small but clear margin. The Cyberlink Platinum is another story, it is a high end cable at a relatively reasonable price. I compared it to 5 other cabl... 
Spades for Nautilus 804's
If it is the same as the 805's try a "small" size. My "normal" size Harmonic Technolgy spades fit, but are a tight squeez. Sorry, I don't have exact sizes for you. Those "odd" binding post have the best grip and ease of use I have encountered yet. 
Why do digital cables sound different?
Thank you Bluesman, 1439, Gmkowal, Redkiwi and all of the above. The technical data strained my patience, but was well worth following. I am sure that some mysteries will always remain, but with things being this complicated, I will have to contin... 
John Lennon
Diana's importance has certainly been overstated, but John Lennon?... I don't think so. A public person or politician, even a beloved and well intended one should not be compared to a great artist. 
"Burn in" Are you serious?
Hi Waldhorner, Yes I think I would expect a difference between an old receiver and a new high end piece. Would you expect a different ride from a new Mercedes when compared to a 78 Chevy? Of course. But that would not prevent me from acknowledging... 
BEST Digital Cable
Don't buy until you compare the Harmonic Technology Cyberlink Platinum.
