Unpredictable digital problems with movies?
Weird...might it be pirated DVD'S? - some pirated material from market/street sellers is very hard to tell from real thing (when looking at the package)? 
Stockfisch Records
I have the Sara K CD sponsored by a well known speaker manufacturer. The lack of compression is welcome.I am not a huge fan of her but the recording is excellent.I am interested if Stockfisch have done more complex recordings that are equally exce... 
Morph The Cat-Bass Notes
It is very hard to audition/test bass...it is so room dependent (as natural instruments with ultra LF have bass notes with long duration and therefore fully excite room modes)...is it a room mode or the speaker?Good transients are probabaly the on... 
Bare naked or...?
Can anyone tell me if really terminations can effect sound quality a lot? As long as the contact resitance is low then no...not at audio frequencies.Of course, a but a bad contact can be a problem. A loose wire or a loose pin in a socket can also... 
Can room treatment improve bass accuracy?
I'll just add this note I made on another thread before you think a TACT can do everything for you (in reality you need a TACT or PEQ as well as acoustic treatment)You will find that a parametric equalizer is ineffective above about 80Hz for stand... 
Can room treatment improve bass accuracy?
Yes treatment can improve room accuracy. But not much impact below 100 Hz ( unless you use specific tuned tube traps and you really need to know what you are doing ). I'd suggest treating all four corners with broadband absorbers. You need somethi... 
Technical question - satellites and TVs
Talk to people like iDirect or Bell - if you need satelllite (about $500 a day plus you need the about 8K of gear at each end). Alterntively you can lease T1 links, I think they run about $350 to $500 a month in metro areas (1.544 Mb/s) 
Can we fit Dunlavy SC-VI in a samller room?
I second Rives comments. 
The Best Midrange in the World Right Now
Brian, But when loudspeakers are given enough power, a system can produce awesome dynamics, with sound that feels so real you can almost touch it. What musical fidelity says is true, however, what they neglect to mention is power compression in sp... 
paradigm studio 20 as center channel speaker
No problems. As long as it does not interfere with the screen viewing. 
Interconnect - Does short length hinder sound?
Size doesn't matter! Seriously. Not at audio frequencies. 
Best sounding cd in your collection
Ghosthouse, Yeah I agree. Also Tom Waits Heart Attack and Vine is a good CD recording. 
Can you imagine a world without vinyl?
What you will get is digital, and here we go again with the debate! Perhaps they'll come up with a way like Arny had done to him in Total Recall....to implant you with sonic mamories?Imagine it...you choose who you could be, say John Atkinson and... 
The Best Midrange in the World Right Now
the bottom-end reproduction of this intro has flummoxed every speaker I've heard It is indeed a great intro...the flatulant bass trombone and the double bass together make a huge sound....like something deep primordial, the belly of the whale...u... 
best or craziest speakers' design..
Jeffrey,Absolutely brilliant. I love those speakers! Who even cares what they sound like - I mean just look at them - such a bold crazy stunning retro art statement! Sometimes totally over the top works!
