| Is this an antique or junk? Junk. This model is a record changer, should be called a "record mangler." | |
| Surge Protection for the House My local electrical utility offered a similar service feature, and I recently took advantage of the Stage I meter-based whole house surge protector.I did not notice any significant reduction in audio quality. If there was any, my big 2ch system wo... | |
| Audio out of sync with video DVD Could be your DVD player, could be your DVDs. I have one DVD with no A/V sync problems using the Dolby Digital soundtrack, but it's out of sync on the DTS soundtrack.Some DVD players and some pre/pros have the ability to set a sync delay (in milli... | |
| Opinions on the SACD playback of Esoteric DV-50. Sjh32 - I use an SCD-1 as a transport to a 360S, so I have a pretty good understanding of the level of excellence you expect.I have directly compared my SCD-1/360S combo to an Esoteric DV-50, in my system. With SACD there were differences between ... | |

| Rotel RSX-1056 or Denon 3805 I've tried both brands, various models. The Rotels are better-built, better-sounding, and easier to work with. | |

| Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have I've ridden lots of places, including California and the East Coast. The most fun I've ever had was in the Georgia mountains near Suches. | |
| Power Cord Burn-In Yep - use a computer. Better yet, if you have access to any IT guys, get them to use it as a power cord on a good-sized network server for about 4 days. The mid-sized servers use 300-500w power supplies, and they are used 24/7. |
