| Polk Audio XM Radio Reciever A Winner Running the optical output from the Polk XM to my Levinson 360s smokes the Delphi SkyFI (analog only outputs), as well as the analog outputs from the Polk XM (as one would expect). I've been using my Polk XM for almost 6 months without any problems. | |
| I'm totally confused about Hi Rez formats Rex-I picked up the Jayhawks' "Rainy Day Music"; Ryan Adams' "Gold", and "Demolition" on vinyl last year, but that's the extent of my purchaces of new vinyl for the last two years. | |
| I'm totally confused about Hi Rez formats Well, three of the posters on this thread are sounding pretty gloom and doom for the Hi Rez formats. Maybe I'll just pick up another CD player and continue the wait and see approach. Right now I'm using an iPod w/ AAC files for the front end of my... | |
| I'm totally confused about Hi Rez formats Pabelson, are you saying these formats are "dead" because of lack of acceptance from the public, and therefore, a paucity of new releases? | |
| I'm totally confused about Hi Rez formats I've been doing some reading up on the subject, but still have questions.I just read the chapter in Robert Harley's "The Complete Guide to High End Audio" which describes the specifications of the two formats. He explains that SACD discs can be pl... | |
| I'm totally confused about Hi Rez formats Thanks to all for the input. I am already using a reasonably decent vinyl rig (VPI HWmk4/SME309/Shelter 901), and Red Book CD (Levinson 37/360S) for my main system. My hope was to see what Hi Rez had to offer for a second system in my home. It see... | |
| Please Help Can't get rid of radio station. I have no way to adjust the input impedence on my Classe preamp. There is only a switch: MM or MC. What I just noticed is that I can "tune out" the radio station by playing around with the positioning of the phono cable. Does this mean that perhap... | |
| Please Help My TT is acting like a tuner Rich, do you happen to live in the Neenah, Wisconsin? I just replaced my old cartridge with a Shelter 901 and lo and behold "...WVBO, the Valley's best oldies..." Are all Shelter cartidges tuned to the same station?My prior cartridge was a Sumiko ... | |
| Please Help Can't get rid of radio station. Thanks for the response, Justlisten. I had a metal bodied Sumiko Alchemist IIb with 2.0 mV output and had no RFI problems. I think the Shelter may have a plastic body which won't shield it from RFI.This is very disappointing to hear that I just sp... | |
| Please Help Can't get rid of radio station. I believe I've traced the problem to the cartidge. When I disconnected the phono cable it got rid of the radio station. I reconnected it and the station was back. I then looked at the cartridge. When I touched the cartidge body, and even more so, ... | |
| Non-magnetic Stainless Steel? I believe it has to do with the chromium content, but I am not sure what percentage of chromium is required. | |
| Polk Audio XM Radio Reciever A Winner Jsawhitlock,Please let us know how it sounds through your DAC. Which DAC, BTW? Also, do you find that the analog output still sounds better than a high end FM tuner?Regards,Mark | |
| Polk Audio XM Radio Reciever A Winner You will need to have the antenna pointed out of a window, or possibly an outside wall. It will depend on the construction material of the wall and anything outside in the line of sight to the satellite. I have vinyl siding and I'm able to get rec... | |
| Famous and favorite recordings Glenn Gould: J.S. Bach-"Goldberg Variations"I would suggest getting the special release from 2002 entitled "A State of Wonder: The Complete Goldberg Variations (1955 & 1981)" It is very well done for a re-release and features an analog backup ... | |
| Polk Audio XM Radio Reciever A Winner Maineiac,I was wondering the same thing about the antenna. From the looks of it in pictures I've seen, the extension looks the same. I'll post to let you know as soon as mine arrives. To my chagrin, my unit has been backordered and was supposed to... |
