what style is this ?
Marakanetz,I gotta disagree with you this time. Categorizing music is vital, especially in the internet age as search functions usually require a category. I agree that it is nice to "just enjoy the music" regardless of category, but it is nearly ... 
what style is this ?
Hummm, from your desciption, it sounds like "Lounge" music. I don't have any suggestions, but, I too would be interested in hearing more of it.BTW, for a great "lounge music" movie scene, check out Jennifer Connelly in "Dark City". Ummmmmm, very n...

Receiver vs Separates Part Deux Newbie edition
For your proposed configuration, you have another option, and that is going with a "digital" amp. Considering your desire to ultimately go with the optical output of your soundcard, you might want to look into the Panasonic Digital receivers like ... 
Best Bike to ride before a good listening session
Well, I ride a Santa Cruz Heckler offroad and I ride an Airborne Zepplin Titanium Road bike and sometimes my 1988 Mino Dente Master w/full Campy Super Record Groupo. The Zep is sweet, but the Dente is special. It was a 20 lb. Columbus SL bike in 1... 
Remastered Supertramp? Crime of the Century?
I have the remaster of Crime of the Century and it has pretty good sonics. My guess is that it is better than the original CD release based on the date of the original CD release. A lot of early CD releases were horrible.Sorry, but I don't have an... 
Audition suggestions please
Mizrachi,If you like the DeCapo and it fits your budget, go for it! I own the DeCapo (non-i version) and it has been in my system longer than any other speaker in my modern Audiophile history. It is very easy to live with, with a smooth, non-fatiq... 
Spray or brush on material for inside sheet metal?
The "cheap tweak crew" over at AudioAsylum are using cheap peel-n-stick floor tile available at Home Depot. I think it would cost you about 2-3 bucks to give it a try.They are also using "rope caulk" from HD to dampen the transport mech and other ... 
Proac One SC versus De Capo i. Opinions please?
Wright,I don't hace in home experience with both, but I have heard the Proacs in a shop and I own the DeCapo (non-i). I have owned the DeCapos for longer than any other speaker in my somewhat recent Audiophile life.I don't think the Proac is going... 
Mondial Magic Splitter aka video ground bar prob
Hey Tom,You could buy it from AudioAdvisor and send it back for a full refund if it doesn't do the trick. Just do it in less than 30 day!Enjoy,TIC 
Center or Phantom Center?????
Hbrant,You might get excellent results with Phantom mode. However, most two channel systems that I've heard, especially those in smaller rooms, have a very narrow sweet spot. If it is just you listening/watching and you are not far off-axis, you s... 
Differences in Jolida JD-100's?
I'm not sure about the Jolidas, but other Chinese built manufactures also use an "A" and "C" designation along with some that have no letter designation. My deductive reasoning has brought me to the conclusion that "A" means for the American Marke... 
Is there a problem with setting VTF this way?
Humm, I've not kept up with my physics, but I don't think 1.7 grams placed on either end of a non-symetric fulcrum will give you 1.7 grams of down force at the stylus. I think a down-force gauge used at the stylus tip is the only quick and accurat... 
HDTV plasmas with 4000:1 contrast ratio.
Eldartford,Thanks for the reply. Yep, the speakers are built into the bezel of the Consumer model and the DVI port is standard. It also has an NTSC (SD-TV) tuner built in and includes a table stand. Other than that, the glass is the same and the P... 
HDTV plasmas with 4000:1 contrast ratio.
Eldartford,Do you have the Consumer or Commercial version of the Panny? Is it the current model?I'm seriously considering the purchase of either the consumer or commercial version of the current Panny EDTV Plasma now that I've seen them at $3499 a...
