Recordings with BASS

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?

Does anyone "throw away" Lp's ?

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

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. ...
