| Rear Projection TV EG1 is right. Pioneer is tops, but depending on whose model is most current, Toshiba and Sony are next. Mitsubishi does not withstand comparison, although they make a good TV. | |
| Rock and Roll Speakers Sfbaydude, Don't worry, those, 10T's kick it! | |
| Pioneer DV-37 vs. Sony DVP-9000ES Thanks guys, I bought the DV-37. I was too impatient to wait for the Sony. Well... I don't think I will regret it. The CD aspect alone sounds as good as many mid priced high end cd players I have heard, and the video can't be beat. SACD will have ... | |
| Biggest hype-worst tweak Whatjd, you can have both without compromise. Ultimately surround sound will be balanced perfectly, and improve on the "front row center" aspect. It is still in the gimmicky stage, like Quad was. I listen mostly as you do (F.R.C.), but have found ... | |
| Rock and Roll Speakers The Avalon speaker lines do it all. The model just below the Eidelon's (I forget their name) are everything you want, and more. You can probably find a used pair if you keep your eyes on the audio sites. Almost all the recommended speakers here ar... | |
| Rolling Stones remasters Are these remasters available at record stores, or through specialty mail order? The Stones CD's that I have are about 30 - 40% lower in volume than other cd's. They are also tinny sounding. | |
| Why lots of B&W Nautilus for sale used? Sugarbrie, . It does't get built much better than my Nautilus 805's. It stands to reason that a speaker with rave reviews like the 805's and 803's are bound to get a lot more buyers, and therefore a few more sellers. My friend has the big Silver S... | |
| Burn-in time Vs. Getting used to a sound Joe b, that is your experience, but not the last word. I did have a cable that had problems until a long burn in was finished, and it sounds wonderful now. I agree that it is frustrating when "version" II or III always addresses the weaknesses of ... | |
| POWER: conditioners vs filters vs cords My Denon AVR-5700 is plugged into my Monster 3500's "low loss" outlet, and does not sound different when plugged directly into the wall outlet. Whatjd, thanks for the tip on problems with cable TV runs. I hear a low level buzz and will try disconn... | |
| What makes / defines an audiophile ? Someone who wants an emotional response when listening to reproduced music. | |
| Burn-in time Vs. Getting used to a sound Good post, Whatjd. | |
| The fallacy of ac treatment In the highest resolution systems, it makes sense to use the better quality PC's. Snobgoblin, why do we have to "draw the line somewhere"? If I spent $60,000 on a high resolution system, I sure as hell would want to maximize it at every level. If ... | |
| Burn-in time Vs. Getting used to a sound Ditto, Megasam, I have done that very thing, and there was a major difference between two of the same power cords. | |
| The fallacy of ac treatment Sugarbrie makes a good point regarding differences in hearing ability. Humans have vastly different amounts of taste buds, making some people "super tasters". I bet that there is an audio equivalent. I think Carl is probably correct about the PS A... | |
| Burn-in time Vs. Getting used to a sound Sorry Jostler, What you describe has of course happened on occasion, but I assure you that burn in is not a myth. Some cables require more time than others, and that leads to many chances for dissatisfaction until things are really settled. My Har... |
