| what would you get for 1000$ ? What JohnnyB53 said, get the Technics. You might also consider a Shure V15 cart to go with that, but the Denon is a fine cart, too.-RW- | |
| Marantz SA8001 or Music Hall CD25.2? The 8260 is a nice unit, but in a shootout against my previous player, a Denon 2910, it was a wash. My new Denon 3910 would kill the 8260 - *and* it supports DVD-Audio in addition to SACD, CD, and HDCD. Denon 3910s are available all the time on Au... | |
| I'm looking for a big new LCD or projection type I'd go with the Samsung.-RW- | |
| Small Floor Stander or Monitor For Large Room Damn, that means those $1599 Gallo Reference 3s on Audiogon are not in play for you. Too bad, they otherwise fit the bill to a T - superb soundstage and imaging, very dynamic, and a very small footprint for a floor-standing speaker. Beg, borrow, o... | |
| Best Bang for Buck - Time to Upgrade IIRC, the Chris Isaak album is recorded in HDCD. You might want to consider getting an HDCD-capable CD player, that will really open your eyes. Upgrading your digital source could be a nice way to go if your budget is limited. But I'd go with Deno... | |
| Please help with speaker choices Stating a budget would be helpful. Barring that, I am going to recommend my (obviously bised) choice: Gallo Reference 3 - floorstanding (but with very small footprint), excellent with ALL types of music, easy to drive and can play loud when desire... | |
| Best String Cheese Incident CD to start with..... "is there a way to download an entire album (instead of file by file)?"They *used* to have Zips with the whole show - that was *nice*. Last year, they dropped those except for Zips containing lossy files (MP3).BTW, if you like String Cheese, you s... | |
| solution for a very bright room? "We do work all of the world (mostly US, but oversears as well), predominantly through our dealer network. We are based in Iowa."Oooops, my bad. Sorry about that. I coulda sworn you were based in Va - time for that 2nd cup of coffee. Maybe it will... | |
| solution for a very bright room? "what about components and speakers specifically chosen for the room??"That will definitely help, but it won't provide a total cure. You have *got* to damp at least one of those reflective surfaces and preferably two that are are not facing each o... | |
| Carver sonic holography Tarsando wondered:"And what in what high end systems is the sweet spot any more than one foot wide? That's about par for the course."You have obviously never heard the Gallo Reference 3s or the Ohm Walsh speakers. The sweet spot on my system is ab... | |
| Beatles Music Pdn,I just clicked the link again and was directed to the proper webpage. I have never experienced any problems (viruses, etc.) from going to Demonoid, nor have many of my friends. Sorry it didn't work for you...-RW- | |
| Need Help in organizing my Audio equipment Ramy,I have a friend who is nearby you - I live in Bethesda and he is in Rockville. He used to own a custom audio/video design and installation shop in Bethesda. He *really* knows his stuff and has designed some extremely good systems - he did the... | |
| Carver sonic holography Heh, heh, we used to call it the Sonic Holocaust because of the devastation it wrought to the music. In all fairness, the effect is really quite cool, but the "sweet spot" is about 1 ft. wide. It's a great gimmick, but you'll find that listener fa... | |
| Best String Cheese Incident CD to start with..... Why limit yourself to just one - go the the Live Music Archive and you can download any of their 900+ live shows - FREE and LEGAL.Here's a linky to get you started:http://www.archive.org/browse.php?collection=StringCheeseIncident&field=year-RW- | |
| Beatles Music Just for fun, go to Demonoid.com, click on "Torrents", and then choose the Category "Music" from the dropdown, and then enter "Beatles DTS" in the Keywords box. You will then be presented with a rather extensive list of Beatles albums that have be... |
