| Pioneer DVD-45a as a transport? I have until recently used a Pioneer DV45A. Unless the disc producer has disallowed it (and I have not seen this) the DVD player will do a realtime downmix to 2-channel, and will output digital data , coax and optical, but the sample rate will be ... | |
| Single layer 2 channel v. multichannel v. hybrid? Jmcgrogan2 said exactly what I would say. | |
| Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano? Khrys...You are quite correct about there being little in the way of music below about 50 Hz. With the exception of organ pipes and bass drums there is only turntable rumble and studio air conditioning sounds down there. If you operate a subwoofer... | |
| What causes clipping? If both SW are doing the same thing the problem might be the signal they are getting from your receiver. | |
| Best cartridge under $450? No Grados please Shure V15 is one of the best with a long track record. Objective specs (such as tracking ability) are the best. Subjective evaluations (how it sounds) are just that, and you should make those judgements with your own ears. The price is right.I hav... | |
| Help with Denon 2900/5900 or MarantzDV8400 or ? Matt54321...A side-by-side comparison of the Denon with other players is not something I was able to do. Of course I have heard various players at audio dealers, but this does not really give a good comparison because the associated equipment and ... | |
| Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano? Ritteri ....Anarchist party, I presume. | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel little milton...FWIW, there is considerable audiophile interest in DVD-A if you look outside the USA. The DVD-A protocol permits great flexibility in how the data space on the disc is allocated. So, for example, we have the MMG label using what th... | |
| Help with Denon 2900/5900 or MarantzDV8400 or ? It's said that the Denon 2900 (which I own) is as good as any except for the analog output circuitry and the clock. There is a modified version of the 2900 that corrects these deficiencies with top notch circuitry and components, and ends up sound... | |
| Low-Fi Experience I have been astonished at the sound from "non-Fi" speakers, the ones that come almost free with a computer.The "Lo-FI" systems described above are OK, but what I notice is that "Mid-FI" is also getting better. Indeed, it sometimes challenges "High... | |
| SACD Source recording Guss2...The DVD-A which have particularly impressed me are Tacet discs of classical chamber music. These are from a german audiophile outfit, and will set you back almost $30 a copy, but are well worth it IMHO. I think that these exploit the full ... | |
| Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano? Ritteri...Your credentials are overwhelming. Why don't you run for president. | |
| SACD Source recording Guss2...Boy! It doesn't take much to set the SACDS crowd off! All I said is that a SACD which is made from a 24-Bit 96KHz master cannot be superior to a DVD-A except with respect to differences in the way a particular disk is mastered and the qual... | |
| Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano? Ritteri...How do you know what experience I have? Again you quote your conjectures as if they were facts.I play the violin. My wife plays our Steinway grand. I have screwed around with audio equipment since about 1953. My job involves the design a... | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel Ritteri...The dreaded science card! You may be right about SACD resolution not being all it's cracked up to be. I read an analysis on another site that claimed that above 8000 Hz, SACD is inferior, and any improved sonics must be the result of the... |
