| Is Quality Prog. Scan DVD Under $500 possible? I recently bought a used Denon 1600 on Videogon. There are a couple for sale here on Audiogon as well. I couldn't give it a higher recommendation. I don't think you can beat it unless you buy one of the more expensive Denons.Sonny | |
| difference between Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1? I always listen in DTS now, when avaliable. I was A-B testing for a while and on some DVDs, DD sounded about the same. But on most discs the DTS track won out, and never lost. I think the major difference, to my ears, is that at times in the DD tr... | |
| How do you know a loudspeaker is the best? Trust YOUR ears... grasshopper. As mentioned above, listen to acoustic, not electric, musical instruments and then try to find speakers that closely reproduce those sounds. Drums, cymbals, guitar, piano, violins, etc, are key, somewhat depending o... | |
| Objects Between Speakers Having a TV and,or equipment racks between the speakers will really destroy the soundstage. If you have everything set up in an arc in front of your seating area, chances are the sound reproduction will also seem like the musicians are standing in... | |

| Best DVD player for the money? I just bought a Denon DVD 1600 used on Videogon, and the video quality is stunning. It has gotten the second highest rating on the Home Theater DVD shootout. The audio is also exceptionally good, but being a DVD Audio player, it doesn't have a dig... | |
| Went to see Bond last night-Don't criticize me yet I saw them play in NY on Aug 10, and I thought that it was a great show. These girls can flat out play. Don't hate them because they're beautiful!!! It strikes me as funny that here in the USA, where hype, glitz, and sex appeal rule, Bond is not t... | |
| Are You Happy With 2 Channel SACD? I have only a dozen or so SACDs, and the only one that I listen to in multi-channel Is Dark Side of the Moon. The rest of them sound much better,IMHO, in two channel. Although it's possible that they will mix the multi tracks better in the future.... | |
| ESS and Heil air-motion tranformer - any thoughts? I have been a stubborn fan of ESS speakers since I first heard, and then bought them, back in 1974. I have long felt, like others have mentioned, that the bass and low mids could be better, but I would not give up on the transients that the Heils ... | |
| Any reccomendations for a CD burner? I'm assuming that you mean a stand alone unit, not something to add to a computer. I have a Yamaha CDR HD1000. It has a hard drive so you can use it as a juke box also. It has analog and digital inputs, so you can record vinyl, tapes, or from an o... | |

| cleaning vinyl. which cleaning fluid to use. OKAY, now where can we get these fluids. I would try some. I did borrow a friends bottle of Vinyl Zyme from Bugtussel, and I thought that it worked pretty good.Sonny | |
| ESS AMT4: Worth repairing? I have a pair of ESS AMT 1 Towers that I just had rebuilt. I found a speaker builder on the Madisound website that was willing to do the work. He designed and built new crossovers and replaced the old 10" woofer with a ScanSpeak 8" mid-woofer. I a... | |
| Center or Phantom Center????? For movies in 5.1 DTS or Dolby Digital, I prefer using the center channel. Everything in Mono, Stereo, and Pro Logic, I use the Phantom center. I usually switch off the surrounds as well, in these modes.Sonny | |
