| Why do some volume controls start at -80db or..? So who are the engineers placating? The customer or themselves? On occasion when I load up some music I'll set the volume to say "50" on my KCT preamp and walk away while it gets ready to play. Simple enough. On the Yamaha receiver setting to "-24... | |

| cd's/SACDS to test highs? There is a song on Moody Blues "Days of Future Passed" that has probably one of the highest notes that I've heard in a song. I believe it is "Evening Time to Get Away". It floats back and forth between the right and left speaker a couple times thr... | |

| Recordings with BASS Paula Cole, 1st song on This Fire album "Tiger".Soundtrack from the first Pirates of the Carribean movie.Better tack down mammas antiques when these two play. They both also hit both ends of the sonic spectrum and will put your system to the test.... | |

| The ignorance of SACD & DVD-A marketing idiots.... I like this little mini rant thread. My wife bought an Acura and it has a DVD-A player in it. I went to try and buy her some and the price was thru the roof. $20-$30 and up for a stinkin' CD? No wonder the music industry is in a turmoil. Even stan... | |
| How old is too old? You dont get too old to listen, you only get old if you stop listening. Now if we had tone controls we could adjust for our hearing deficiencies. Oh wait, thats for the other post...-John | |
| Why Do You Still Have Vinyl if You Don't Play it? I ask myself the same question once in a while. I actually played a few last night "just cause". I hope when I retire I will have the time to stop what I am doing and flip the darn thing over. It seems Americans are always so busy we dont take the... | |

| Help My Nautilus B&W 804's 'pop' at loud volumes. I had the same problem years ago. Turned out to be something in the amp. The mfg had to replace some parts. I agree with Tmsorosk, see if you can try a different amp to help isolate the problem.Good luck, John | |

| Benchmark dac - why such diverging opinions? I bought one & love it. Why? It pumps out awesome sound quality when I play music from my PC laptop through Itunes, internet radio stations & my CD player (Sony SCD333es). It worked first time I plugged it in with no techno work involved. ... |
