| Have any of you heard the Klipsch Forte speakers? I've got a pair of forte II's which i've enjoyed. i used them for rock, blues, and jazz in my studio. room is 12x15, so not quite big enough for them to "breath" to get the perfect blend of bass, midrange, and treble. These speakers really shine w... | |

| Denon 103R with well tempered classic arm i've been searching for the damped black platter as an upgrade, but haven't been able to find one yet. the previous owner of the table right before I got it, rewired the arm with silver wire direct to the interconnects (no terminal block). love th... | |

| Best 5.1 surround recordings? if you like jazz, the concord samplers (there are 2 volumes) are both excellent multi-channel recordings. The soundstage on these is HUGE. The musicians are in the room. Check these out, they are a real bargain on the web for about $10 each. | |

| Future of CD's - Hard drive based music don't get me wrong, I love my ipod as the most convenient music-on-the-go source. I doubt i'll ever get rid of or stop buying cds though for several reasons: listening to them in the car, sound quality, and i like browsing for them at the store an... | |

| why can't I make a digital recording of a DVD? Ok, new problem. I got the DVD's that were recorded in dolby digital 5.1 to record to CD by changing the player setting to PCM.

| Outdoor speaker recommendations while I don't normally like BOSE speakers, I got a pair of BOSE 251 outdoor speakers as a gift, and LOVE them. Great sound, and I've had them mounted now for 2 years and they sound as good as new. They run about $350 new for a pair. |
