| How to burn CD with CD text? I've got the same cdp and it will display the text on a redbook cd if there is text. One such disc is Harry Connick's latest. Each song's title appears as the cdp starts playing it. I burned a copy of another disc last night using Nero Express but... | |
| Best player of SACD's and HDCD's The displays on the Denon 3910 and 2910 show "HDCD" but I am not sure that they do decode HDCD. Sometimes the display layout is kept identical between models for economies of scale (cheaper production) so you want to verify this. I'm quite sure th... | |
| Upgrade path from Adcom gcd 600 you might want to look at this model. http://www.oade.com/Home_theater/sony/dvd/dvpnc555es.htmlI'm quite sure its under $500. Check with Oade to see if they offers their opamp upgrade for this unit which is reported to bring out a better redbook p... | |
| Shipping Magnepans into canada. DUTY??? Allan - not disputing that it wouldn't facilitate their entry but I bought a used pair of 1.5's from the US a couple of years back and the invoice noted them as being made in the USA and that was sufficient. Such was the case with my recently deli... | |
| Shipping Magnepans into canada. DUTY??? It should cost you:1. cost of the speakers (possibly a little extra for freight into Canada)2. brokerage based on value (UPS is the most expensive), probably $50 Cdn3. Taxes (PST if applicable)+ GST on US dollar value of speakers translated into C... | |
| Totem Forest, Mani 2's or Green Mtn Audio Europa Mani-2 would probably offer you the best presentation but your amp had better be up to the task as they are notoriously power hungry... | |
| New Krall /Costello/ SACD is very good... I agree and on SACD its great! This disc is receiving more than its share of airtime in our house. If you like DK then I highly doubt you'll find any reason not to own this one... | |

| Can transport in Philips SACD 1000 be replaced? Alex is advising that he will repair what he has in house but is not taking on additional SACD-1000 units for repairs. Alx has a forum board over at Audiocircle...http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/viewtopic.php?t=13130 | |
| 12 volt battery as power source I configured a 12v battery power supply for my DAC and let me tell you about the noise floor - what noise floor! Infinitely better than the wallwart ps it came with. Not sure about other gear's battery applications but one of the side benefits of ... | |
| Bryston Vs Classe Dr. Greg - I think the term "rated as Class A" refers to how the amp is rated by an outfit like Stereophile (recommended products by class A,B,C,D with A being "their" best) and has nothing to do with it "class of operation" as in "A" or "AB" | |
| millenium or revelation tweeter? Long answer is that having owned Taylos(revelator)and then Linbrooks (millenium) I prefer the millenium tweeter. Find that its not as hot or aggressive in presentation. Is that because with the Linbrooks you have 2 mid/bass drivers which could be ... | |
| Transport for a dCS Delius - HELP The 963 is a great little player for the money but as a transport its nothing special. I have one (with the BG in the ps) and recently swapped in my Sony DVP-S7000 as a transport - not even close. The Sony extracts so much more detail its not funn... | |
| ain't got no soul: bad covers of great soul songs Scotty - Dobie is alive and well as far as I know and provided some of the vocals for the current rendition. He was also in the video. Whether or not he likes the Uncle Cracker version is another story... | |
| What affordable amp should go w/ magnepan 1.6? While the NAD is a nice combo the amp falls a little short for 1.6's and would be better suited to MMG's. I know this as I owned 1.5's at one time and the wife has a C270 in her system - tried it and found in a medium sized room would probably be ... |
