| What is DTS and how different from SACD 5.1/DVD-A one article I read said: DTS regards the compression for the rear/surround channel information, it is higher quality than other compression schemes available. | |
| Advice.. Integrated vs Seperates - Low Budget.. IMO the savings on the IC, which may be as much as $150, would be enough for me to get an integrated, so I did in my system.

| Used integrated amp/speaker combo for $1000 I own JM Reynaud Trente speakers and love them. I understand the JM Reynaud Twins go well with NAD equipment which IMO would be a great choice for an amp so: JMR and NAD would be my acronyms of choice. | |
| help me find quality classic jazz? Bomarc I am sure you are right and I just do not know the artists well enough.Hifive, I should have mentioned Charlie Byrd as he is one of my favorites and so is Stan Getz, Jazz Samba sounds like a winner! I will carefully consider your list as I ... | |
| Warm Detailed Bi-Wire for Magnepan 3.6R I found AZ Holograms to have the qualities you are looking for on my Maggie 1.6. I never bi wired them so do not know how that would sound but the Hologram in general, on my system, was warm and full but still dynamic and detailed. | |

| How Much Time do You Surf on Audiogon? 45 min a dayyes and I really do have a life too!I think... | |
| Acousti Zen cables... Sorry Gunbei, you never know what will come out of my mouth, sometimes I babble incoherently :)Of course (like some of us) I had limited experience with the AZ cables. I listened in 3 different systems. I would still recommend them but I think the... | |
| Acousti Zen cables... I used to own both the WOW and Mat Ref MKII and think the Mat Ref offered quite a bit better extension and detail and had better tone, even though the WOW was quite good the Mat Ref easily bettered it. I ended up with Audience AU24 which has more ... | |
| Tube amp for JMR Trentes? BudrewBrian is right about my state of mind regarding the Trente and Soro SE combo, a little piece of heaven IMO. I have stopped looking as I find it hard to imagine a better match. How often does that happen? Believe me I like to turn up the volu... |
