| Need thoughts RE-Best Universal for my High end audio and TV, video etc. +1 soix. personally, i like hard button remotes, which are much more intuitive for me, and the urc has the simplest interface. like soix i use a legacy urc remote (the wr-7) for a couple of my systems; even though i had to program a couple of comp... | |

| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Ghost: re:nels clineYou cant blame a guy for wanting to feed his family, but freakin wilco?

| fm tuner you can find the analog pioneers like the tx7100 or tx6800 or kenwood kt7300 very inexpensively on ebay (<$50)--aesthetic and good sounding. if you want a digital tuner, i'd look at parasound or marantz at the same range. fmtunerinfo is a very ... | |
| There goes Tidal? from what i glean, apple is interested in the exclusive content, specifically the ability to sell digital downloads and video clips, which is where the real money is. the paid music subscription business, as i understand it, is a big money loser ... | |
| Adcom a weak link? if you're asking as a general matter whether upgrading your amp will make a significant difference, i think most would agree that it does. i never had the 7400, but i had the 5400 (which i believe is the same series and general architecture) as w... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report as much as i respected the cratsmanship, i never really embraced that grays/jellyfish genre, mainly because it's more pop than power. i did like jon brion's solo record, meaningless (you can find it on youtube), which is looser; you might also dig... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report nutty, glad you enjoyed it.dpatterson, i listened to the bob moses on spotify (also some of the "related artists" like the acid and kiasmos)--not sure what you call the genre?, but i like it--it's trippy without being soporific--will check out mor... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report fountains of wayne, sky full of holes--i don't generally like this type of "clever pop," but these guys do it very well, with a real sense of the melodic hook. their guitar player is surprisingly great.tinted windows, nothing to me--sort of superg... | |

| "Stairway To Heaven" Plagarism court case zep is unquestionably great, but has a long history of putting their names on other folks' tunes (or traditional songs) and, to my knowledge, already paid off for "dazed and confused" and "bring it on home." they also had to change the credit on "... | |
| Pioneer SA9100 & TX9100 repair near McLean VA? (Worth it?) i had the (lower model) sa7100 for a long time and preferred it to comparable sansui and yamaha (tho not as much as harman kardon)--my recollection was that the preamp section was excellent, the amp section less so. (can't speak to the tx-9100 tun... |
