| Blockbuster goes Blu-ray, HD DVD=beta?, I just bought the Sony S300 it upconverts DVD's nicely and plays CD's too. I hear that $400 will be the price point at Xmas.IMHO, it is the lack of content/new realeases coming out on HD-DVD that will drive people to Blu-Ray. I already have most o... | |
| Soldering 101 for Audiophiles As per Drjoe....I usually "tin" the iron a bit and then touch the connection to be soldered....once the solder begins to bleed into the connection I apply more solder to the wires....the process is best done quickly as too much heat can damage stu... | |
| Beatles Music The recent release/remaster of Sergeant Pepper CD respects the original Vinyl release faithfully, including inner groove effects. (So I am told as I was a toddler when the original came out and do not own the Vinyl) | |
| Power conditioners APC make a reasonably proced unit specifically for AV applications too. A power conditioner reduces noise by filtering the power. These also include surge protection.A stabilizer will step up or down the power to keep the voltage closer to 120 Vol... | |
| Why are we so passive? it's an inflexible approach, regardless of the technical justification. True. It is certainly not popular with anyone looking to tailor the sound in a specific manner. Definitely a good reason why it may never get traction with audiophiles despit... | |
| Queen song question? Kelton,Ooops I forgot to add that Brian May is the lead guitar player for Queen. As you can see from the link I am not one to BS about this stuff.I am sorry if this info about Queen might not be what you wanted to hear. It makes sense (to me) that... | |
| Why are we so passive? both a lover of chamber music and a heavy metal fan in one design it would have been achieved by now. Good point. The desired tailored coloration of many audiophiles means that "foolproof" active speakers are unattractive in many cases.However, f... | |
| First Post - The Long Road Back - Warning: Lo-Fi A few weeks ago it started getting noisy in one channel Have you considered that it may have been faulty for some time before finally crapping out?This would give a simpler explantion for why the NAD is a completely different and far better sound. | |
| Speakers under $750.00...Preposterous Notion? There are many great second hand speakers at this price...you have to go a little old that is all.For example a second hand pair of Energy Pro 22 can probably be found for $200 and would fit your needs. Every now and then a speaker company comes o... | |
| Why are we so passive? Lush,I am glad to see a consumer brand embracing active speakers...until now it has been only computer speakers and pro gear where you find active speakers (pros began to embrace active speakers about 20 years ago...)As Meridian correctly states t... | |
| Queen song question? I think, if I recall correctly, Brian May uses PMC speakers. You probably won't like these speakers either as they are quite similar designs to ATC's but with a TL bass that gives them more bass ouput. A little less forward in the mid range perhap... | |

| Queen song question? Thats the question is it the recording or the speakers? Queen are not that well recorded live (like most bands...it is a rare gem when a live recording sounds just like the real thing). So I would say it is the recording.Queen's studio stuff is o... | |
| PMC IB1's close to rear wall, is this O.K.? Alun,Yes indeed I was trying to give you an idea of bass strength...these are all good speakers including your existing speakers, selection being a matter of taste. | |
| If you only upgrade one component in HT what is it I'm with Avguygeorge...get an HD-DVD or Blueray player |
