| Best Non Progressive DVD ...... You might want to consider that, these days, nearly all of the most recent generation of quality DVD players (which, as far as I'm concerned, includes those approaching $1k and above) will be built with progressive scan. In order to get a good one... | |
| Have you "lied" to yourself? I followed an initially dissapointing trail that, now having walked it, I am still not sure where I came out. In the course of a week or so, I retubed all my gear with NOS stuff, added a power condidioner and made a major upgrade in my speaker cab... | |
| World Music: Great Suggestions, please? Two favorites that have been heavily in the rotation lately (although I too would never claim expertise) would have to include:Malingo, Tangos Bajos (heralded as the new voice of Argentine tango and widely refered to as the guy who is "putting the... | |
| Washington Post Article Ha! A friend of mine e-mailed me the article to make fun of me. We need support groups, not ridicule. I say we get the government to institute a withdrawal program much like the Heroin ones. Instead of methadone, they can hand out equipment in ord... | |
| Best HDTV? Just for the record, my previous post makes a lot more sense if you tink of the screen sizes mentioned in inches, not feet... | |
| Best HDTV? Cornfedboy: Where did you find a discount on an Aconda? Been looking for one for months, and was almost ready to pay full retail, as much as that pains me. Is your source a shareable wealth, or do us pedestrians just have to suck it up? (And, for ... | |
| Cd storage..what's an audiophile to do? The Case Logic binders I got are pretty un-fancy, to be sure, but they do the trick just fine. (They seem to come in either that heavy-duty nylon webbing style fabric or a lovely faux leather). If you look around, you can probably find nicer ones,... | |
| Cd storage..what's an audiophile to do? Personally, I folded on trying to keep all of the jewel cases and got a number of those Case Logic folder style deals (the big ones, holding around 280 CD's each). Unfortunately, I just didn't have the room too keep all the boxes and had been angu... | |
| Maximum USPS Money Order is 700. Speaking of check fraud, once represented a brokerage firm that was misfortunate enough to cash a fraudulent U.S. Treasury Check for $10,000,000 (yep, that's seven zeros). The perp was actually in jail in Thailand for similar escapades around the ... | |
| Trivia: 1st Lennon-McCartney song in US? OK, this is verbatim (and extemporaneous) from our resident Beatles fanatic. He's been reliable (when it comes to anything Beatles) in the past, but I can't personally vouch for it. He did recite this off the top of his head, though:Real story, be... | |
| Why pass video signal through processor? That's a good idea, JK. Running directly from the DVD to the TV (mainly because the processor doesn't support component video and secondly because there is no reason whatsoever to filter a great video feed from a nice DVD player through the decide... | |
| what is it like to mix tube and solid.. Another testimonial for the "tube on top" configuration: VTL into Bryston into Thiel. No complaints, except maybe from the neighbors.... Mix and match away, there's bound to be a combo out there that is right for you. | |
| Best Video cable for picture quality? What kind of DVD player are we talking about? One consideration (which may or may not be relevant, depending) is that some of the new progressive scan DVD players (Pioneer for one, not sure about others) only run the progressive signal through the... | |
| Why are EMC-1 s being dumped on market? I didn't mean to imply, having seen a bunch at the show, that it means that they must therefore be wonderful. (And if I gave that impression, which reading back I very well might have, it wasn't my intent). I'd wanted to give one a listen for a wh... | |
| Why are EMC-1 s being dumped on market? I'd like to hear thoughts on this one, too. Interestingly, I would have to say that at the Stereophile show last weekend there were probably more EMC-1's in exhibitors' setups that any other CD player (at least that I noticed). Must have seen at l... |
