| Dumb Question SACD is a completely different format. DVD Audio is part of the same format specification as DVD Video, but a different application requiring different software to read. So, the short answer to your question is, no, it won't work to hook up an ext... | |
| DCM Time Windows I have a pair that are probably 20 years old. I have to believe they need re-habbing - definitely they do aesthetically, but they don't sound all that good anymore either (or maybe I've just gotten used to nicer stuff?) Does anyone know if it's po... | |
| Aletha or Cantata There's a good review of the Cantata's (the first I've seen) in the most recent $ensible Sound magazine. They loved them. I think the looks of the Aletha are worth the extra $$ myself. -Kirk | |
| Musical or scientific/technical background? Education in Computer Science and a very technical career. Music has always just been an (avid) hobby. | |
| FPB Series - Hot Running? Thanks to all who responded. My room is 14x18 and on the interior of the house, so ventilation / air circulation is an issue, and it sounds like one of the FPB (probably any pure class-A amp) would overheat the room. -Kirk | |
| What Would you Trade your System FOR? Well, since Cameron Diaz is already spoken for, I'd trade mine for a private place on a no-motor lake in the forest coupled with a way of making a living that allowed for enjoying having the place. Alternatively, I might just wait the four months ... | |
| Anyone under 30? I realize it's all in good fun, Tim - I really can't imagine anyone who's regularly on this site selling their gear. Once you've had good music in your life, you don't ever want to go back. And despite whatever my weak attempts at humor conveyed, ... | |
| Anyone under 30? C'mon Tim - I didn't say YOU would lose interest, just everyone you know will lose interest and you'll be left enjoying those Eidolon's alone! Your wife won't want them in the "main" room and, even if you win that battle, you'll have to "watch the... | |
| Anyone under 30? Well, I'm 40, but I'm certainly glad that there are a lot of people under 30 who are into music and audio equipment. I had a nice stereo when I was in my 20's, but couldn't afford to really pursue high-end. Still, music was my constant companion a... | |
| What's Wrong With the Krell Kav 300 Cd Player?? My opinion is that the KAV-300CD wasn't particularly noteworthy in the first place, and time hasn't improved it's standing. I listened to one in my system for a couple weeks and was thoroughly unimpressed, especially given it's retail price. At $1... | |
| Anyone using i tunes as a computer based jukebox? I'm curious what iTunes and Titletrack are - I guess they're Macintosh programs? How do they interface to the stereo - through a digital output on a soundcard or something else?Mnmatt - I'd be very interested in how you're set up with the jukebox ... | |
| Integrateds-Krell or Plinius? The Plinius has definitely gotten many rave reviews. The original post mentions the Krell 300iL which is a new model, as opposed to the 300i which is the older model. I know the 300iL has been re-styled and has 200w/ch instead of 150. Of course, t... | |
| How could surround sound be used in an audiophile system? If you want to stick with two channels, you might try a pair of speakers from Dunlavy, if your room allows for their setup - they're recommended to be placed at about a 120-degree angle with the listener.There are a lot of people who are enjoying ... | |
| Aletha or Cantata You might consider phoning Audio-Video Logic in Des Moines - they were super helpful and friendly when I called about a possible Dunlavy purchase. I'm not associated with them in any way - they were just a really helpful dealer.That said, Dunlavy ... | |
| Source Rotel RCD 971 Player Upgrade or DAC It probably partially depends on how you buy and sell equipment - if you bought the 971 used and can sell if for not too much of a hit and buy a 991 used for not a lot more. I wouldn't think the performance improvement would be all that big, but i... |
