| Conversion of Coax to HDMI Thank you for the responses. To clarify, my Dishnetwork receiver has two tuners with two remote (IR and UHF). I have hooked the receiver with an HDMI connection to a HDTV and the picture is fabulous. However, a secondary output is coax only and I ... | |
| Qawwali ....Nasrut Fateh Ali Khan In these days of talentless artists playing meaningless, souless music, who make up for their shortcomings with glitz, heavily choreographed dance moves and scandalous appearances it is nice to come across the few like NFAK, Nikhil Banerjee, Bismi... | |
| Qawwali ....Nasrut Fateh Ali Khan Yep. The Ocora Label is it. You may want to contact Maharani or Rahul and I in Houston for a better price. Glad you enjoyed Nikhil Banerjee. Several CDs of his are available on the Chhanda Dhara label and on Raga Records. Again, I suggest contacti... | |
| Qawwali ....Nasrut Fateh Ali Khan There are countless lovers of NFAK around the world and I am one of them. It is too difficult to go over which ones are the best but here is a link to help to get started:http://www.audioworld.com/sw/Forum1/HTML/005477.htmlHis performances take on... | |
| First Trip outside of Best Buy, a real newbie. If you like the transparency of the Maggies but the heft of dynamic speakers try to find a pair of Apogees anywhere near you. Though no longer made you can still find them in the used market. They have a devoted following (me included) and nothing... | |
| JA Michell Turntable - Need help Just noticed the TT is a Gyro Dec and the cartridge is an Audioquest T-5H. Any information on these will be appreciated. | |
| EVA CASSIDY She IS the chosen one. She has affected me when I have been at my lowest and my highest. She offered me solace when I was away from my children and family for two years and made my stay tolerable. What a voice !! | |
| Lack of depth problem Agree with Newbee. Check out the Cardas site. Use simple (one/few performers, acoustic instruments, NOT multitracked heavily mixed rock), analog recordings (NOT digital) for optimizing. A good starting point for your speakers should be between 5'-... | |
| A Newbie's First Week Impressions -- Vinyl Rules There is nothing digital ! I repeat nothing digital, regardless of the cost that can approach the sound of a well set up vinyl rig. One can spend thousands of dollars (and many on this forum do) to make digital sound more palatable but the inheren... | |
| Miles Davis "Sketches Of Spain" Please add my name to your list too.Thanks. | |
| Anybody heard Philips new tubed micro system? Sharper Image carries it. I have heard and it is very good for the price. I dont know what kind of tubes it takes and whether they are user replaceable. Personnaly I thought it looked beautiful. | |
| Is an IPOD hi-fi? No. It is not. | |
| HDMI and Component I assume you will want to use either HDMI OR Component. If so, I suggest you go the HDMI route. I am a 2-channel freak too. In my opinion, I have yet to see a "cost justifiable" difference in quality from the lesser expensive cable to a more expen... | |
| Calibration DVD I have both the AVIA and the DVE discs. I also own Joe Kane's original calibration LD. While original LD was wonderful to calibrate analog televisions, the DVDs are virtually useless in calibrating todays DTVs. The directions even left me confused... | |
| Need your help finding a pair of speakers......... I suggest get away from the slllllooooow and lazy dynamic speakers. Try some of the planars (Soundlabs, Maggies, Apogees, etc). You are in for big surprise. You need big room though. |
