| New B&W 805's. Need any advice. Thanks Pug, After posting I noticed that the bottom of my 805's have 2 holes pre drilled for insertion of a screw through the stand and into the speaker. This would prevent me from accidently knocking the speaker off the stand, and stabilize the s... | |
| Sand or shot for speaker stands? Hi Guys, Thanks for all your help and suggestions. I will definitely try the #9 shot (thanks Garfish), and the silica sand, with a mask and a big pan (thanks Albert). Unfortunately, shot seems to be hard to locate in NYC, so I have temporarily put... | |
| Best Male Singers of the 20th Century Michael, I would have to vote for Sam Cooke before Rod Stewart. Although Rod has given us some memorable moments he often gets tacky and too commercial. Sam was his biggest influence and Rod tried to emulate him. I also thought to mention Otis Red... | |
| SACD vs. DVD vs. HDCD I want a 5 channel SACD/ DVD-Audio, 192 upsampling, progressive scanning ( or maybe Hugh Def), all format player for under $1200. I bet I am not alone, and that sooner or later this is the approach that will be taken by all maqnufacturers. Hopeful... | |
| Best Male Singers of the 20th Century Louis Armstrong, his gravely voice proves forever that it is the heart & soul that makes a great vocalist, the sound is important, but secondary.Bing Crosby, for starting a new style of singing (soft,intimate vocals, thanks to recording techno... | |
| Best Sub Rel or Muse I haven't heard the Muse yet, but my REL Strata II is everything that Robert Harley says it is in the review at REL's website.( WWW.rel.net). Check it out. If the Strata II is that good I am sure you will be happy with the Storm. I love the line l... | |
| Progressive Scanning Yes, you need a monitor with progresive scan capabilities to get the benefits of a prog. scan DVD player. Progressive scan gets rid of scan lines and would be a benefit to people with prog. scan TV's or projectors. Those lines are most noticable o... | |
| TOSLINK DIGITIAL CABLE WITH DAC AND DVD Wherever did you hear such nonsense? The coax is superior to the toslink. That said, the difference is not that big if you have basic consumer level gear. Good luck. Just buy the coax. Try Harmonic Technology Cyberlink copper, hard to beat at$99. | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! Sorry Puckie, but the Rolling Stones have written some of the gretest songs ever and helped to define the genre even if they are a bit crusty and stale now. There are better choices if you want to knock a big group.Try the Jefferson Airplane. | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! How about REO Speedwagon? They were bribing the record company execs of the same company that left The Clash with nothing. | |
| MY Sidewinder AC cord progress: Hi Carl, Thanks for passing along all your experiences in such detail. It really helps others with their decisions. Do you know of a replacement power cord that would fit my Pioneer DV-05? It has two little "pitchfork" holes in it and is quite thi... | |
| CD Player Maxibob, The DV-05 is far from an entry level model. Its picture quality is virtually identical to the Pioneer DV-09 whose picture quality has still not been surpassed. I have owned the Panasonic A-310, Denon DVD-3000, Sony DVP-7700 and now the Pi... | |

| Does silver speaker wire sound bright? In a word ..sometimes. My experience with silver is that the low end can be a little bit "light" causing it to seem bright. A copper and silver blend can give you back some warmth and balance, but you might lose some of the detail. Many times it t... | |
| The REL Strata III? I have the REL Strata II and love it. The Strata II Is almost identical to the III. The III has just a bit tighter bass. Try www.rel.net and look at the Strata II review and apply that to the III ( it is very comprehensive and 100% true) The Q100E... |
