When is digital going to get the soul of music?
D edwards: I've been using 5.1 surround for the last two months (for the first time) and I totally agree that surround kicks two-channel butt (at least with lower priced equipment in a small room).It's similar to adding a good subwoofer to an alre... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Shadorne: Amen. 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
I just need the machines to recreate the event in a reasonably accurate way (no hiss, clicks, pops or chops).Once it's in my head, MY SOUL does the rest... 
creating a music database
To my knowlege, a bar code is just a unique number to identify an item. The store sets up its own database using the item number as the key.Sony has a media server (in the $2000 range) that includes a 400 (200?) disk player.You load the player wit... 
Weird DVD Player Problem
Last week I move my receiver from one shelf to another.When I reconnected the speaker wire, I connected it to "Front L&R B" instead of "Front L&R A".Watched a lot of movie "Heat" without knowing this.Tip off was when Pacino's shotgun blast... 
Please help troubleshoot HK AVR7200 problem.....
Dreamst8 has good suggestions. I'd also check to see if any speaker wire strands are touching another binding post (which will trip protection circuit).Is the receiver pluged into a surge protector?Your receiver may have taken a power surge hit an... 
HT Magic Woofer and Magic Tweeter Spkr Cables
Try calling Jim at HT after CES.He is a very friendly man and can probably fix you up. 
Help me shorten my list...
Here's my free advice:BW 703 (I love B&W speakers)JM Labs Cobalt 816S (love their big iron, little ones prob. good too) Legacy audio classic (heard this at their (former) Springfield, IL showroom at loved it -more than big $$$ Whisper) Meadowl... 
classe audio six vs dr-6
I had a Six (and a Dac-1) played through an ARC CL-60.I used this setup (REALLY don't like the term "rig") with at least four different speakers.I ALWAYS heard a nasty saw-tooth quality in vocal dynamics.I won't blame it on the Classe necessarily ... 
DLP or LCD what do you think
I saw the SXRD Sonys at Best Buy.This is the set I'm buying (when I can).I suggest purchasing the extended warranty as the demo 50"unit already had some "dead" pixels (black spots on the screen).Damn good picture, however... 
What new music did you get for Christmas?
Led Zeppelin II & III on Classic Records 200 gram LPs.Also picked up Rossini Overtures & The Planets on XRCDs(already own these on vinyl).Dug out my humble Music Hall MMF-2 (packed from a move) and, wouldn't you know it, couldn't find the ... 
Best $2000 6 channel Surround Receiver
I wouldn't buy anything that didn't have HDMI input that works with multi-channel SACD/DVD-A.I like the Sony STR-DA7100ES (list $2000) but won't buy one until it does audio as well as video via HDMI. 
Transport Noise from Krell SACD Standard
Yes, take the damn thing back.That's the only language these guys understand. 
Thiel 1.6's or Quad 22L's ? Opinions Please.
I've played my 1.6's with ARC VT-100 Mk-III and my current Sony STR-DA1000ES HT receiver (90 watts/ch @ 4 ohms).I don't think they are bright at all.Although not what I would call a "super speaker" (Thiel 7.2, Wilson Maxx), they are totally satisf...
