| Cable lengths Actually the propagation speed for the average cable is probably about two-thirds the speed of light.Velocity (m/s) = Sqare root (1 / (Li*Ci)). Li = linear inductance of cable (H/m) and Ci = linear capacitance of cable (F/m). | |
| Why SACD,DVD-A are already DEAD It would go a long way towards keeping SACD alive if, on the release day of new titles, you could go to the store and buy a hybrid SACD (plays as CD in the car and SACD at home) for a reasonable price, maybe $16.99 ? | |
| Why SACD,DVD-A are already DEAD don't get me started on "watermarking" and "no digital out." the industry is so paranoid that somebody is going to bootleg something that they are not even thinking straight. this paranoia alone is hurting HDTV, DVD-A, SACD, and Satellite radio (f... | |
| Why SACD,DVD-A are already DEAD To answer Jdlepera, my SACD player is a Sony SCD-C555ES. It is rated Class A in the latest recommended components list of Stereophile. I think mine is more than 90% broken in and it really brings out more detail and has more transparency in regula... | |
| Why SACD,DVD-A are already DEAD Actually, there is probably alot of truth about knowing what the next format is when it is available as an option on Chevrolets. Chances are, that will be DVD-A. There are already DVD players showing up in mini-vans. It wouldn't take much more to ... | |
| Acoustic Treatment or Cable Upgrades? As long as you have a smeared or fuzzy sound stage because of first reflection problems, etc, you will be hard pressed to even do a meaningful cable comparison. So, I'll vote for the acoustic treatment. Of course, I'd say to use drapes and 1" duct... | |
| Why SACD,DVD-A are already DEAD Obviously, it would be easy to agree with the majority of your comments on SACD/DVD-A but just as easy to disagree. To take the opposing viewpoint: I love SACD. Here's why. Five years ago, if I could have had an audiophile dream, I would have imag... | |
| Wife stepping on speaker wire Get some split loom tubing from your local car stereo shop, etc. This will make the speaker wires look big and provide some limited protection and won't cost much at all.Here is one web site that has prices and a picture:http://www.allelectronics.... | |
| Sony SCD-C555ES good for redbook? I just bought an SCD-C555ES ($799 at Tweeter) and even though it isn't even broken in yet, I can tell that the redbook playback is very very good and that it will probably be deserving of its class A rating. I'm comparing to my Rega Planet. After ... | |
| Steely Dan "2 Against Nature" DVD-A passcode? Here is how my DVD Audio player's manual describes it: Some DVD Audio discs contain a special group called "bonus group" whose contents are not opened to the public. When loading a disc with a bonus group, "BONUS" indicator lights in the display w... | |
| Recommended DVD-A Discs? I think the Foreigner "Foreigner" DVD-A sounds pretty much like crap. America's "Homecoming" is decent but no miracle worker. Steely Dan "Two Against Nature" is pretty good. The surround mix is somewhat interesting. These are the only three I have... | |

| Thiel 2.3--bright or harsh ? I also upgraded my CS2.3 coaxial drivers. The new drivers are definitely not as bright. They are more laid back in the upper midrange and highs. Has anyone else upgraded? What did you think? Do you think the coaxial driver has overall design flaws? | |
| Has anyone owned an Adcom GDD-1 Adapter? I just bought a used Adcom GDD-1. It also has the garbled sound when the digital stream begins. I can get it to work correctly by pressing the Dolby Digital button. Does anyone know what the design problem is with this unit? Has anyone had one rep... |
