| The best CD Player for the money 12-29-07: JohnlewisgrantOK... I accept that the OPPO probably has pretty darn good DAC. They're known for that. But, not meaning to quibble: does this unit permit you to control the volume directly via the remote? Most universal players don't. My ... | |
| How Much Is TOO MUCH for a Analog front End? 12-28-07: Braab8Johnny I have not heard of this from VPI I must research.Here's a closeup picture of the feature, and here it is on the VPI Super Scoutmaster Reference Turntable. Supposedly it'll be available separately as an add-on option, but de... | |
| How Much Is TOO MUCH for a Analog front End? Maybe you should just play CDs for a month or two. I'd bet that when you return to playing LPs on your VPI it would sound unbelievably fabulous just as it is. Another consideration: Is you VPI modifiably to their new rim drive? Maybe that would pr... | |
| How far apart in quality is 1080i vs. 1080p? How far apart in quality is 1080i vs. 1080p? Just wondering if I should stick with my upsampling Sony recorder or purchase a PS3 or true BlueRay Player.As worded, your two questions together are rather loaded, and raise further questions. What do ... | |
| Pls Recommend Grado Green vs. Red P-Mount for Me? No manufacturer has 0% defects, and no mail order house, no matter how conscientious, achieves 100% customer satisfaction. Should one bad experience with one bad cartridge with one mail order house knock Audio Technica out of the running altogethe... | |

| Rega Exact 2 on a Technics 1200 12-22-07: Jmoog08Thanks for your opinions, is there a general concensus on MM cartridges that match up well with the technics tonearm and the more popular kab mods? With the fluid damper, it seems that some medium compliance high-output MC cartrid... | |
| Could use a recomendation for a DJ table FOR AUDIO Early this year I decided to get an entry-level turntable in the $400-600 range. After considering the usual audiophile-approved entry-level belt drive suspects, and reading as much as I could find here and elsewhere on the 'net, I bought a Techni... | |
| Holy Moly Blu-Ray Disc Players below $300 12-20-07: Jmcgrogan2I'd rather they improve the quality than lower the price, but that's just me I guess. ...I think Blu-Ray is overrated. Sure the picture looks nice....when it feels like working. ... That's why I wanted HD DVD to win the format ... | |
| Holy Moly Blu-Ray Disc Players below $300 12-20-07: JdodmeadJust remember that when the 1st progressive scan players came out, they were very expensive also. Now you can get them for under $100. Hd and Blu Ray players will be dropping steadily and will probably end up down to what std pla... | |
| HD-DVD and 2 channel audio I have a Toshiba HD-D2 (same as A2), and its only audio outputs are HDMI, 2-channel analog, and Toslink. I use the Toslink connected to a Boston Acoustics AVP7 (same engine as Outlaw 990 and Sherwood Newcastle), and therefore it functions as an ex... | |
| dolby digital plus Yeah. To me, the issue is being able to tap into Dolby TrueHD. DD+ vs. DTS isn't a big deal IMHO. | |
| The best CD Player for the money Best for the money? I guess it depends on how much money.But for my money, it's $169 for the Oppo DV-980H. I just took delivery on one last Thursday. For the last 10 months I've listened to LPs exclusively because I could no longer stand to listen... | |
| Good turntables w/o record clamps What negative attributes could a clamp possibly add???A clamp changes the frequency and intensity of resonances, and presumably redirects vibrations. Depending on the rest of the setup, that could be a bad or a good thing.As a general rule, I clam... | |

Check out their website.12-15-07: StringreenThat USB table is availabe at Costco. It looks like Mattel Toy Co. made it. I personally wouldn't want to put m... |
