| The "Eagles" - Best Albums What you want to look for are any Eagles CDs that have been digitally remastered to 24-bit technology in the recent past. Many older recordings and albums are being digitally remastered to 24-bit which usually sounds great as compared to perhaps t... | |
| No new innovations in "Audio" at upcoming CES2014? As vinyl LPs and turntables continue to thrive and sell and will be prominent at CES2014, why are we so sure that CDs and SACDs are going away so quickly? Like LPs, I still want something tangible I can buy. I have absolutely no plans to stop buyi... | |
| Subwoofers hum - Vandersteen 2wq - can't stop it Have you considered trying Audioquest subwoofer cables? Each has a 3rd ground wire you can connect to a screw on the back of an amp or AVR for example on one end and and a screw on the back of your subwoofers on the other. This really does work we... | |
| Audioquest subwoofer cables I have two B&W subwoofers in my listening room. One is fed by an AQ Sub-A and the other by an AQ Sub-X, both approx the same distance in length. I honestly cannot tell the difference. I've tried to tell but can't No real need to spend anymore ... | |
| Rotel RSX-1067-Yamaha RX-V3000 or DSP-A1 Yes agreed with Tis49. Chivinnie is right in that your ears will be your best judge & jury so to speak. But you asked for feedback and opinions. For what it's worth, looking strictly at brands, manufacturers' resputations & integrity, resa... | |
| cd player not reading a disc? Laser dirty? That's a tough one. If you're cleaning the disc properly, then that eliminates this cause. How old is your player and did you ever consider purchasing one of those CD player laser disc cleaners? It's nothing more than a CD with a tiny micro brush ... | |
| Recommend me a warm sounding 5 channel power amp Hey Bo172: could it be that NAD went to all digital amps since 2006? That would explain the departure from warmth and more towards cool as you describe. What does everyone think of digital class D vs analog (class A-B) multi-channel amps? | |
| Looking for recommendations for a decent AVR I'm disppointed to hear about the quality control problems with ONKYO on units under 5 years old. That's not right. I purchased a brand new Integra surround sound processor last year which is manufactured by the same parent company as Onkyo so now... | |
| subwoofer 60Hz buzz I'm not an electrical expert but could it be the electrical outlet itself? Maybe it's cracked ever so slightly inside or maybe it saw a power surge while you were away on vacation and became slightly damaged. After all, most are low cost contracto... | |
| Will Japan equipment work with USA current? According to an on-line article I just read, electrical voltage in Japan is @ 100 VAC vs 120 VAC as used in the USA. Also in Tokyo, the cycles are 50 Hertz per this article and not 60 hz as in the USA. But what you want to do is check the specs on... | |
| Cables for B&W 685 Well, I'll take stab. The B&W 685 is an excellent bookshelf loudspeaker for the price. Good choice. While I don't have the 685s, I do have the 683s so at least in we're in the same family. First yes to bi-wiring for sure. I would do that for m... | |
| Searching For Sugar Man Yes I agree. Saw the DVD about two weeks ago and I too had never heard of him before this. Great story and highly recommended. | |
| Roberta Flack-First Time Ever I Saw Your Face I recommend "The Very Best of Roberta Flack" on the Atlantic/Rhino label produced and remastered to CD in 2006. The later the remaster the better the sound quality. First song on the CD is "Killing Me Softly" and it does have superb bass extension... | |
| Which HDMI cable for SACDs Thanks everyone. The Monoprice cables seem almost too inexpensive but I guess for an audio signal at this short length, there is no benefit going with a more expensive cable. Some cable manufacturers claim that by adding a percentage of silver or ... | |
| SACD player with HDMI output Thanks folks. Edorr, the 3 units I have capable of playing SACDs don't give me that option. However today it seems I have the solved the problem. Spending a few hours testing the 3 source units I have (NAD T-535, Marantz DV6001 and Marantz UD5005)... |
