| Should I buy a DAC? None of the hi-rez multi-channel formats will work via a digital connection(There may be a few transport/DACs at $10,000+ that do it). To use the transport to play the hi-rez formats, you will need to connect 6 channels of analog interconnect from... | |
| How Screwed Am I? You should be fine if you run the new active sub off of the LFE port and run the bose system (sub and sats) off of the speaker level outputs from the Sony.The Sony will output to the LFE channel anytime a DSP mode is used. So, unless you specify 2... | |
| An audiophile who know NOTHING about TV One note of caution regarding my Panasonic Plasma recommedation: My Panny (current gen) has significant glare. If you are unable to control light in your environment, the glare might be an issue for you. For me it is not an issue because I can eas... | |
| An audiophile who know NOTHING about TV I was in a similar position a while back and after studying all of the options, I chose a 42" Panasonic EDTV plasma.Interestingly, there is an ongoing debate on AVSforum concerning the EDTV (enhanced definition) Plasma TV vs. HDTV (hi-def) Plasma.... | |
| Help on some under $2500 speakers Reference 3A MM DeCapo is great for your needs. Very easy to drive and will sing with your amp. This monitor does bass right. It goes down into the 30s and the bass definition is excellent. You can follow bass lines very easily.The only possible i... | |
| Fedex or UPS? Good advise, so far, and I agree that proper packaging is the key. One suggestion I would make is NEVER, EVER trust you item to be packaged by anyone except yourself. The UPS store and FedEx Kinkos are not proficient in properly packaging electron... | |
| High energy dance music recommendations? Well, I think it depends on what you mean by "dancing"!! For me, every time I put on either "God Fodder" or "Are You Normal?" by Ned's Atomic Dustbin, I get out of my seat and jump up and down like a spastic monkey!Does that count?!!I love Ned's A... | |
| How Important Is The Cdp? Dave123456,If you are curious about the benefits of a quality DAC, there is an inexpensive way to find out if it works for you.Simply do some homework on DACs, determine the going rate (price) for some popular DACs, buy it, try it, resell it here ... | |
| I'm a little stumped Fishboat,As Marco stated, yes, the front end can make a big difference. If you are using an older $300 Denon as your primary source for critical listening, you could likely find big improvements with a different player. You don't have to spend $20... | |
| I'm a little stumped Fishboat,Just a thought.......Like many of the other posters said, "If it makes you happy, be happy". If you like the sound of your currnet system, but feel compelled to upgrade, you could consider keeping the speakers and auditioning a different ... | |
| HELP Frustrating DVD Player/Component Cable Prob Rex,When I connected a progressive (default setup) player to my old TV, I did not get B&W, I got total snow, bars, etc., no picture. Hopefully you are correct and the poster can just set the unit to interlaced and it will be fine, but I wouldn... | |
| How Important Is The Cdp? Marakanetz,The original poster already has good speakers. Following your argument, since he has a $100 (list price) CD player currently, he should have $1000 speakers (1/10 ratio), right? Well, his speakers are actually 11X more expensive than his... | |
| How Important Is The Cdp? Gmood1,I heard several, and actually owned a couple of single drive speakers (including one using the famous diatone driver) and it just doesn't work for me. Personally, I can't see it working for the vast majority of folks out there. Yes, the mid... | |
| HELP Frustrating DVD Player/Component Cable Prob Long message and I may have missed something, but I think you need to try connecting the new DVD player directly to the TV using component cables and see if you still have the problem. If so, try a different cable. Also, be absolutely sure that yo... | |
| How Important Is The Cdp? A couple of people have mentioned your speakers and I suspect they are off base. Although I have not heard the PSB Status Mini, it is a well respected monitor that retails for $1100. I just read through the reviews and it was mentioned that the St... |
