| my rant on new single disc players under $500 Dc2daylight,I believe you are correct. I recall having an e-mail exchange with the folks at Oppo concerning the variable volume control for the Oppo 971. The 970 may also have it.Enjoy,TIC | |
| my rant on new single disc players under $500 A simple pair of Rothwell in-line attenuators will solve your problem of "too much gain". Here's a link to a pair for sale here on A-goN:http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?accstwek&1171809225And, as stated by previous posters, a quality us... | |
| Which Power Conditioner is best at eliminating Hum You should not need a power conditioner to prevent hum. Typically hum is caused by a ground loop. Often it is a result of connecting cable TV into your system or plugging into outlets that have different ground potentials for some reason. The easy... | |
| Making High End Clones at Home for Fun and Savings Cw,The fun part for me was not in trying to recreate big dollar components myself. The fun was in buying/building very low dollar components and enjoying the music they bring into my room.You mention simple crossovers, which makes me think, maybe ... | |
| Sony NS-9100ES vs. Marantz 8260 comparison? Myraj,I've never heard either, but I've read a lot about the Sony. If you are going to use the 7100ES with a matching Sony digital receiver, like the STR-DA7100ES, it will pass SACD output digitally via the iLink. With the Sony DVD-NS9100ES/STR-DA... | |
| McIntosh Intergrated's with Home Theatre By-Pass Arthur,I doubt it. They sell a DVD player, right? It has 5.1 multi-channel output and video. Obviously they don't have an issue with HT/multi-channel or they wouldn't sell an HT source component.It's rediculous to not provide an HT bypass. The who... | |
| Repair or replace Sony s300 Dred,The Oppo 971 would be the perfect DVD player for video connected to the DVI input on the Mitsu. I think the audio is pretty good too. If you are more concerned about the audio, the Oppo 970 is supposedly sounds a bit better, but is not quite ... | |
| S-video vs. component DrG,I'll bet your heart really sank when the picture came up pink! Glad the receiver is working out. The Denons are well respected in their price category and being able to pick one up locally is icing on the cake.Enjoy,TIC | |
| Repair or replace Sony s300 If you really want to repair it, you can contact Sony Service directly and they will give you a fixed price quote. Don't take it to a Sony authorized service center as they can charge you whatever they want.However, I would suggest that you simply... | |
| S-video vs. component Doug,If you want component video switching and/or upconversion, many recent HT receivers will do the trick. I'm currently using a Sony STR-DA5000ES and have a single component video cable connected from it to my Plasma TV. Coming into the receiver... | |
| NAD Negative powers on Volume Control? It's all relative!It really doesn't matter how the volume control is labeled. It performs the same function regardless. However, if it really bothers you, there is an explanation.The McI had a relative scale starting at 0, which was total lack of ... | |
| S-video vs. component The video inputs of a receiver serve no purpose other that the convenience of video switching. You don't really need component video or HDMI inputs or outputs on the receveir as long as your TV monitor has enough inputs for you to connect your vid... | |
| Looking for AVR alternative to my B&K for my JM's Headshot,It is very odd that you are happy with music, but not-HT. Most folks around here seem to be in the opposite camp. They typically like the HT sound from their setups, but strive for improved music performance. That said, I'm guessing you h... | |
| Consonance CD120 v. Rega Apollo There are 2 different models of the Consonance CD120. One is an oversampling unit that I believe upsamples to 24Bit/192K sampling rate. The other is called "Linear" and is a non-oversampling unit. I have a friend that owns the Linear and he loves ... | |
| Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have Jim,In about 1991 or 92, I paid $1100 for a pristine stock 1983 RZ350-TC in Team America colors. The owner had only replaced the pipes and even supplied the "like new" stock catalytic pipes with the bike. Of course I immediately modified the crap ... |
