| 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... | |
| High Definition Dvd? I was in Best Buy last week and the salesperson said they had HD DVD players in the store (I didn't walk over and see). Also, a co-worker (who knows about my interest in this stuff) said he saw HD players at the local Ultimate Audio here in 'Vegas... | |

| Noticed the Patriot Act's effects on PayPal? Since you asked, the "value in wearing my seatbelt as I drive to the gas station to buy a carton of cigarettes" is that if somebody broadsides you and seatbelts save your butt, we taxpayers won't have to pay your hospital bills for the coma you mi... | |
| Theta Pro Basic II DAC......still a contender? One of my "Special" audio moments involved a Basic II fed by a CEC spinner (& ARC LS-2B, ARC 130 amp, Dunleavy SC-IVs and Dunleavy wire ).The sound of this system will never be "dated". | |
| What direction to take. $800 bucks? Are you serious?Actually, you can build a pretty darn good system for this amount.Here's what I suggest:Sony STR-DA1000ES HT Receiver (I own one 100 watts X 7),KEF Q1 monitors (I own 'em too),Cheapy Sony DVD player with SACD (I own DVP... | |
| Tickets to CES - Where can I get them? Instead of CES, try the T. H. E. (The Home Entertainment) Show at the St. Tropez and San Remo (soon to be Hooters Casino!). T.H.E. Show is free, has tons of exhibitors (Like Audio Research) and even gives you free food! How great is that?I also at... | |
| Thiel 2.3's with smart sub Anything Jim Thiel does with speakers is going to be first class. Regretably, I can't (currently) afford his new sub technology. In this price range I'd also consider a Martin Logan Descent. | |
| Sony Lost Update: The Texas Attorney General has file against Sony under the spyware statutes with a possible penalty of $100k per occurrence.Some bean counter at Sony is going to have a less than merry Christmas!Like the Bard said: "First, kill all the bea... | |
| KEF Reference Model One P. S. The B&W I refered to, the DM603 S3 just won the Stereophile "2005 Budget Component of the Year" award.Listen to me now and thank me later... | |
| KEF Reference Model One Your Denon should be able to tear these to shreds (not familiar with the Yamaha).I've owned the Ref III.2s but thought the design sort of dated.For the money you're talking about, I'd look at the B&W floorstanders recently reviewed in Stereoph... |
