| Is HDtracks really selling you Hi-Rez music? HDTracks doesn't remaster anything. They simply post files which they have obtained from the record labels. However, they do stand by their product. They recently posted a 24 bit 176k version of Time Out by the Dave Brubeck Quartet, which I purcha... | |
| Hearing Aid Confusion I completely agree with Lloydc. It is for this reason that I am so high on the Starkey Wii. Your audiologist will program in the precise eq curves needed for your specific hearing loss. Each ear is programmed separately (it is actually done wirele... | |
| Hearing Aid Confusion Two years ago I was diagnosed with severe HF hearing loss. Having told my audiologist that I was a high-end audiophile, she prescribed the Starkey Wii hearing aids. These are (i) binaural, and (ii) programmable. I have a speech program, a music pr... | |
| How to transfer LD to DVD? Get a DVD recorder. Connect the S video out of the LD player to the S video in of the DVD recorder, connect the audio outputs of the LD player to the audio inputs of the DVD recorder, and select the DVD recorder's input for "aux". Record your DVD'... | |
| Rel Stadium 3 Humming Your issue results from the fact that the grounds for the preamp and the amp float and do not connect to the chassis. What you have to do is to connect the two positive wires going to the REL (I believe they are red and green) to the positive spea... | |
| Levinson 33H buzzing on standby I owned a pair of 33H's for 9 years. There was never an issue with buzzing and hiss. Are you sure there haven't been any component or wiring changes in your system, which might be causing ground loops or picking up RF?However, I believe Ellyjr's o... | |
| Levinson 33h or Lamm M1.2 I can't compare the two; however, I did own a pair of 33H's for nearly 10 years (unfortunately, they got water-damaged and were beyond repair). I can say that the 33H's are amazing amplifiers; just be sure that you've got a dedicated 20 amp circui... | |
| XM now sounds worse I can't speak to the sound of XM in a home system, but I listen to XM Classics frequently in my car (Audi A8). I have found just the opposite of your experience--that the quality of the transmission has improved significantly in recent years. | |
| SACD is it worth it? I think it depends in large part on the kind of music you listen to. Classical has done well on SACD. In fact, BMG has done the world a huge favor by rereleasing many of the most famous Living Stereo recordings on SACD--and at $11.99/disc to boot ... | |
| Mark Levinson 33H vs Musical Fidelity KW Mono Amps I've never heard the Mobile Fidelity, but I have owned a pair of 33H's since they were first introduced in 1999 (give or take). I really don't think you'll ever find a better amplifier. Also, you should be aware that the 150w rating is at 8 ohms. ... | |
| CD to DAC to DAT to DAC? The answer to your question is in the back of the SV3800 (I have an SV3700, but I assume the answer is the same). There are a series of DIP switches in the back. One of them (I believe it's the one that's farthest to the left) selects either the a... | |
| Solution to a ground loop problem The best solution of all is the Mondial Magic Brick. You can get it through Music Direct in Chicago. I had the same problem--the Magic Brick works like a charm. | |
| Newbie question about reversing Phase?? That's all you have to do. Just be sure your amp doesn't reverse phase as well (if it does, you don't have to do anything). | |
| B&W Signature 800 Vs. the new 800D Diamond I have the Signature 800's in gray tiger's eye, and love them. My son has heard the 800D's, and has told me that they're much better. I'd like to know where you can get 800D's for $16k, because my dealer has told me that my cost to trade in my Sig... | |
| Playing old reel to reel...help Before you run off and start baking tapes, you need to know what kind of tape it is that you have. Many tapes from that era don't require baking, and should work just fine provided that they were properly stored. The problem tapes from that era ar... |
