CD Player
Hi guys, * Carl & Alexander... I am waiting for the eventual combo player of SACD, DVD-Audio, etc. I am living with my Pioneer DV-05 as my CD player temporarily. Do you think it is worthwhile to pick up the Panasonid A-310 or is the difference...

The REL Strata III
Yes, it is as good as you have heard. It is the only sub I have ever heard that was as fast as the mains. I have the REL Strata II and love it. The connection from the speaker mains is part of the reason for its good sound. The Strata III sounds a... 
Cables:Harmonic/Nordost/Cardas
Hi Redkiwi, How do you detect phase problems. I have my suspicions about the bass frequencies in my system, and I thought you might offer some advice. 
Cables:Harmonic/Nordost/Cardas
Sorry, meant to say good LUCK. Taking foot out of mouth. 
Cables:Harmonic/Nordost/Cardas
I have had a similar experience to LOST . When I first got my Harmonic Tech. cables there was an upsetting period of about 85 hrs break in with poor results, BUT... after another 5-8 hrs. passed, things really did change significantly. They offere... 
Cables: Cardas Cross/Harmoic Tech pro 11
I have the H.T. Pro-9 bi-wire spkr. cables and am very satisfied. Orb is correct that the only way to know for sure is to try them in your home. Harmonic Tech. allows a 30 day return policy. Beware: The burn in time is not exaggerated. it takes 85... 
Best musician in the world?
Maybe you should have said "favorite" not best. These posts do not seem to be objective. If we are talking about someone alive, perhaps Quincy Jones should be on top of that list. He is the most accomplished musician I can think of, with significa... 
Monster Power AV-800 any good?
I am not familiar with every model and feature, but I have the 800 and the HTS-3500. The 800 was an improvement over nothing and did have a rating or 1350 joules if I recall correctly. It did lower noise floor a bit. I once lost $5000 worth of gea... 
CD recorder Marantz or Pioneer
Hi Garfish, Good to hear from you and all who have posted here today. Thanks for all this interesting info. I will take a snapshot of this thread and save it for reference if ever I am looking to buy a CD recorder. That Pioneer sure seems like an ... 
CD recorder Marantz or Pioneer
As a former member of ASCAP, signator for AFTRA, Mercury recording artist and producer I can guarantee you that if any money gets to an artist it is irrelevant by the time it is divided amongst all the artists. It is a scam. I received a total of.... 
Best Interconnects and/or Speaker Cable
Hi Carl, I was considering the H.Tech. Pro Silway because I have the H.Tech. Pro-9 bi-wire spkr. cable and the Cyberlink Platinum coax and thought it might blend well. Thanks for alerting me to the MIT Shotgun EVO interconnects. Do you think they ... 
DVD player with excellent CD quality
I have owned the Panasonic A-310, the Denon DVD-3000, the Sony DVP-7700 and now own the Pioneer DV-05. Of these the Pioneer definitely sounds the best, but it still nothing to rave about. I have a friend with the DCS set up with the Theta transpor... 
SONIC QUALITIES OF A GOOD POWER CORD
Does anyone have a suggestion for the best power cord match with a Denon AVR-5700? I am waiting for delivery of a Harmonic Technology Pro-AC-11, and wonder if I am making the best choice. They offer a 30 day return policy. 
Best A-D converter
Hi Dynamo, hi Carl, Sorry I can't offer the kind of sophistication that Carl offers ( He is truly one of the most experienced and dedicated guys who post at this site)... but, have you considered a high end Minidisc recorder? I have the Denon MD-1...
