Jazz Crossovers to the Pop Charts/Timeless Classic
Mercy, Mercy, Mercy by Joe Zawinal - covered by the EasyBeats in the early 60's and by many others since. 
Any heard/heard of Whest DAP.10 R processor?
Well, I got my DAP10 yesterday. I hooked it up and guess what - no right channel. I wonder if they sent me BOA2's unit! Since I'd asked Audio Advisor explicitly whether or not the unit was working before buying, and they answered "yes", they're go... 
Any heard/heard of Whest DAP.10 R processor?
OK guys, I just qualified for my sucker certificate - Audio Advisor had two DAP 10R's up for auction on ebay. Both were customer returns and are supposed to fully functional (no burning smells, both channels working, etc). No return privilege, of ... 
Installing Bucket Magnets
If this is one of the servo controlled subs, be careful. Changing the electrical parameters of the speaker may make the servo system unstable. 
Samsung DVD HD Upsampler?
THe 841 also uses the Faroudja DCDi de-interlacing chip set, the 941 does not. I had to go through 3 841s before I got one that worked properly. Kichoi is right, though, it is a great little player. 
Would anyone respond???
Responding in the affirmative to this post will result in immediate expulsion from the Audiophile Brotherhood, and replacement of all gear by a Bose system. ;} 
2 track or 4 track reel to reel deck?
For the same size tape and tape speed, a two track deck offers better signal to noise ratio than a 4 track deck. If you're recording stereo, the 4 track gets better tape economy. Two of the four tracks record stereo in one tape direction. The tape... 
limitations of red book std. or something else?
My old Telarc version exhibits the same sound on that crescendo. I agree with Rcprince that it's the sound of the bows on strings. The CD contains more detail than I'd really like - no romantic glow to the strings, though it is what I've heard live. 
Pioneer's iLink. Is it good?
iLink is a FireWire based digital interconnect standard. It works great for HD video transfer, but won't help you if you want to listen to SACD - your player only outputs analog from the SACD layer (copy protection), so you'll still need the analo... 
Audiogon "SACD's TO DIE FOR" list
I couldn't believe how good the Steely Dan Gaucho SACD sounded. 
DVD-A and MLP Meridian Lossess Packet
MLP is the DVD-A standard for lossless data compression, and all DVD-A players implement it. 
Any heard/heard of Whest DAP.10 R processor?
James did indeed reply, and seems like a very nice gentleman. I'm not sure how to evaluate the reply - he seems to agree with my assessment of Redbook audio, then talks about phase shift in amplifiers, how the DAP acts on ultrasonics, and states t... 
Any heard/heard of Whest DAP.10 R processor?
Boa2 - email sent. I'll post the response if/when I get one. 
Any heard/heard of Whest DAP.10 R processor?
Boa2 - Please let us know what you think of the unit when you get it. I'm on the fence about ordering one. First, it's silly expensive, and second, its operating principles don't make sense.Whest claims that the DAP acts to realign frequencies abo... 
plauged by off center image, am I insane?
I've noticed the same thing.
