| Linn Abandons CD Players The Redbook CD will be around for a long time to come. Obviously new formats such as digital downloading will carve their proper place in the market. Quality of downloaded music is improving as is the education by the public to its use. That said ... | |
| Analog System to Beat Digital - - for little$$ ?? jbryngelson,More often than not I find a good vinyl copy of a record to sound better in the overall sense and listener involvement than the CD variant. But not all LP's sound great nor better than a good CD version. Nothing is 100% one way or the ... | |
| Analog System to Beat Digital - - for little$$ ?? To get more out of your vinyl playback I suggest to consider the following.1: You need to invest in and take time to beable to clean and keep clean your vinyl records. If you want to budget you can buy a good vacuuming machine for around $200 (Kab... | |
| any thoughts on vinyl to cd recording I use a stand alone CD recorder (a Pioneer PDR-555RW). MY unit may be a little older but it does make very nice CD copies from my vinyl discs. I have found when I copy an LP to one of these CDR's that they sound better in Redbook CD form that if I... | |
| Best recording IMO, the first thing we must all accept is not all vinyl LP's are created equal. I have about 500 LP's and though most sound great and ones that I have CD's of the LP's often sounds better. However a lot of vinyl was poorly mastered and if they ar... | |
| Best Surround Reciever Under $500 used eBay has some decent used, few year old Denon, Marantz, Onkyo and other good brand H/T receivers on for $500 or less. Just do some digging and looking and you may find a good value that suits your needs. | |
| Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no? BTW the gear is a Harman Kardon HK 3490 Stereo Receiver with Dolby Virtual surround.Thanks. | |
| Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no? Question to you all?Anyone here have experience with this product?How about with Dolby Labs Virtual Dolby?I'm wondering on thoughts about if one wants a simple home audio system for mostly stereo music playback but to also be able to get satisfact... | |
| New DAc for old CDP? I too use vintage CD players, I have seen the non over sampling DAC's especially on eBay that I may spring for one day soon. They go for about $200 US and from what I have read impress most of their buyers. | |
| Sony Playstation 1 for a CD player ??? The PS2 remote with matching plug in IR sensor cartridge ( plugs into the controller slot) will work the PSOne. The thing is that you may have to press the SELECT button to stop or pause play instead of the stop or pause button. | |
| DAC vs. New CDP If I may, just because a cd player is a few years old does not mean it does not sound as good as a new player. Your unit may sound better, worse or more likely just different than others especially new choices at your disposal. But this is a crux ... | |
| Budget Turntable My 2 cents here.I'd easily recommend that you go to KAB USA, Order one of the Technics SL-1200 variants of turntables Kevin offers. You then can select from a list of additional products he has for said turntables. One can setup a complete kitted ... | |
| who needs a cd player anymore One thing that downloaders only will in time miss? That is a real, tangible piece of property to own and value. Yes, you may be able to pull up a play list on an lcd screen but you invariably have nothing real, just virtual details on a screen loc... | |
| Why is some vinyl noisy? The quality of vinyl use will compound the noise. Not all labels bought stock from the better or best vinyl suppliers. K-Tel (you know their HOT HITS type discs as kids) put all sorts of cheap ingredients into their vinyl so as to cut costs and as... | |
| Chime in.What's the Best Cassette Recorder ever ? Just a thought, I was to understand that one was to jack the level meters very high when using DBX. Pushing the levels to like +10db or more to make sure you extract all that DBX companding system offers.As to best decks?Nak Dragon, ZX-9 and ZX-7 ... |
