How will non-HD digital...
In Feb. 2009, all television terrestrial broadcasts will be digital and not necessarily in HD. Many programs will be fed in SD which is 480p. You will need an antenna and a digital ready tv that has a built in digital tuner to receive these free b...

"the show must go on" 
sweetest sounding ss integrated
Jungson JA-88D. 80WPC class A 
Review: Shure M97xE Cartridge
I recently got one of these and have noticed that the copper part where the cantilever comes out of is turning green. I have not used any fluids on this cart and was wondering if you have seen this as well. I also just got a stylus for a v15type t... 
Food: What does the typical audiophile eat?
I ate so many salads last year that I can barely stand to eat one anymore. In the past month or so I have been craving junk food and have dined on Burger King, KFC and chinese food. I think it has something to do with the state of the economy as I... 
Integrateds: Warm sounding SS vs Hybrid
Jungson Ja-88D. 80WPC class A. A very nice sounding unit. 
Tips for a First-Time Show Attendee?
Suggest you book a room at the hotel if you are flying in. It is very nice and they have a special rate for RMAF. The restaurant in the atrium has a great flatiron (skirt) steak and mashed potatoes and some excellent microbrews. Try to bring a com... 
aerial model 7, both speakers completly smoked
Suggest connecting a different set of speakers to your rig(any will do). Sounds like you blew a fuse and not the speaker itself. Do the Aerials have fuses? 
Best iPods for AUDIOphiles
On another related topic, the Bose "on ear" headphones seem purposely designed to mate with the Ipod. Bass is full and powerful and the sound is rich. Totally transforms the Ipod. It gives you the option of not having to add an additional amp. Non... 
Twisting Anti-Cables
I wouldn't fret the details. I crossed mine over very loosely so if I didn't like it, it would be easy to go back to straight wire without having to unbend the kinks. I noticed a slight increase in highs, nothing huge. I assume more twists will re... 
Blu Ray or Oppo?
I was at Blockbuster the other day, and they currently have a wall of Blu-ray disks. Someone must be renting them or they wouldn't dedicate that much space for this format. Blockbuster online also has about 100 titles in the HD DVD format. My feel... 
Review: Cardersound Ty-bone Speaker
When you say magical, please explain. In what ways are they better than the Maggie 3.6 or the Ushers for example?Will they play loud and do they have decent bass response 
Older Cd Players vs. new ones
I have a Pioneer PD-65 in my 2nd system. It has been an extremely reliable and well built unit that has always worked flawlessly. It feeds a mid 90's Audio Alchemy DTI PRO/ DDE V3.0 d/a converter. I have kept all of the above, because nothing I ha... 
what do i really need 1080p for?
If you plan on getting Direct TV at some point, their HD package broadcasts at 1080i. This signal is a significant improvement over what you are currently seeing. I had a 36" Sony as well and can tell you that the 50" Samsung I have blows it away ... 
audio tubes for Audible Illusions Modulus 3a
AI preamps are very hard on tubes and will use up NOS tubes in very short order. EH tubes are fairly robust as are most of the Russian tubes. If you like the sound of the NOS tubes (who doesn't) be prepared to replace them more often.To answer you...
