| Are DVD recorders not good players? BEWARE- i got the panasonic dmre-85 hs w/120gb hard drive.a very popular machine (the manual should keep you busy for a couple of days), but it needs VENTILATION, and a battery back-up (imo), as there are multiple warnings about voltage and power ... | |
| B&W Nautilus 802 b&w MATRIX 802 s2 had a tweeter protection circuit. the s3 dropped the somewhat "busy" crossover and apoc and redesigned the tweeter to handle more power. the difference to me was noticeable but not nite and day. "certain people" always manage... | |

| Best Component Ever, for the money my vote goes to the "stereo compact"- a receiver with a top- mounted turntable w/cartridge, 10" 2-way or 3-way speakers, cables included. harmon kardon used to make one with a dual-1219 turntable. my parents bought the fisher- i think we're talkin... | |
| Rowland Concerto - Has anyone heard it yet my apologies- the concerto pre- was announced 1st. i'd still like to know, since it's a lot newer than the synergy, if the sonics are worse or better- that would be a big dilemma for synergy owners. i myself have m-12 amps which were "supposed" to... | |
| JBL lovers have you thought about trying a sub-woofer?? check w/a sumiko dealer about sound re-inforcement. unless of course you're looking for black-sabbath live- you might melt a tweeter along the way... | |
| Rowland Concerto - Has anyone heard it yet concerto or concentra- what are we talking about? the CONCERTO is the new PREAMP from jrdg- anyone heard IT??? | |
| What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE??? a/d/s speakers- they made the L-series w/fuses, and then the m-12's and m-15's w/solid state tweeter protection instead of fuses- sounded phenominal either way, and beautiful cabinets in black, (real) walnut, rosewood...AND, then they came out w/t... | |
| How do you know if a cable is neutral? i had an experience w/ pwr cords- the after-market cord was a little brighter sounding/harsher than the stock cord; BUT, it did reveal a little more information. i think if a cable/cord doesn't give the listener the impression that it "rings", esp... | |

| Anybody else get a Rowland Concerto? hi, i have a row.consonance. what preamp did you have before? does the concerto compare favorably w/the synergy? | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music another song popped into my head- the smother's brothers tv show, where they ended it with "day is done" by peter, paul and mary, and the entire audience joins in... the good ol' sixties y'know... get out the kleenex, quick!! | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music albinoni- you'd think he'd have written a lot more music as incredibly beautiful as the adagio. i have a vote for Spirit's haunting alblum- CLEAR, with the song by that name. is anyone here a randy california fan (guitarist in Spirit)?4 of the bes... |
