| Are dolby digital and AC-3 the same? Yes, Dolby Digital and AC-3 are the same "technology". All the comments about how it is hooked up have nothing to do with the Dolby circuitry. | |
| Audiophile portable CD an oxymoron? I agree that the non-skip technology is just terrible. What you are listening to is a cheap copy of the music in memory, not the actual CD. I heard a friends Sony and I would not even call it music. | |
| Best "Bookshelves" for $500? new or used I agree with the comments on the 601's but for $400 they are pretty good. I've tried out a few Rotel preamps in the past including the 900 series and I thought they were all on the dull side. Try out another preamp. I'll add the Anthem Pre-1L or P... | |
| Audiophile portable CD an oxymoron? Maybe now. I have a portable Aiwa from over 10 years ago. It actually has an all metal laser assembly. There was no such thing as cheap CD players back then, so they used good parts. It does not knock your socks off, but it sounds much better than... | |
| Best way to spike Nautilus 802's Contact B&W USA directly. E-Mail works. See website for address. They are near Boston. | |
| Blue Heaven IC's vs. Home Grown Silver In that price range new the best I've heard is Siltech ST-18-G3 Interconnects. 1/2 Meter about $200; 3/4 Meter $250; 1.0 Meter $300. | |
| Favorite Christmas Song & Album. Spike Jones "Let's Sing a Song of Christmas" best album. | |
| Best "Bookshelves" for $500? new or used It is not the speakers IMHO. It is the Rotel equipment and then between the two most likely the preamp. The B&W 601 S2 (Nautilus clone) tweeter is certainly not dull or Rolled Off. The CDM-1 would be faster than the 601 and more detailed. For ... | |
| Anyone tried Stan Warren/Supermod Player The Aiwa is on sale for $79.95 at my Best Buy | |
| Anyone tried Stan Warren/Supermod Player I think Stan gives a one year warranty on the mods. He said if would depend on the repair depot whether they would accept the factory warranty on the rest of a new unit that he does not modify, such as the transport mechanism and laser. He did say... | |
| THE BEST SMALL SPEAKERS Are those the demensions of the speakers? Dimensions are in inches. Almost any bookshelf speaker is smaller. For $450 new a pair of B&W DM601 S2 are great. For even less, even the B&W DM302 for $250 new (Stereophile recommended) are a steal. | |
| Anyone tried Stan Warren/Supermod Player Yeh, He told me he could make the Aiwa into a CD transport that put a lot of other transports to shame. Unique for a multi-disc changer. | |
| Anyone tried Stan Warren/Supermod Player Woops wrong area code above. Its (541)344-3696 in Eugene, Oregon. | |
| Anyone tried Stan Warren/Supermod Player Phone: (514)344-3696. Best time is 1pm to 4pm pacific. He does return calls. | |
| Anyone tried Stan Warren/Supermod Player Stan's idea is to upgrade the DVD player so you do not need the Link DAC for audio. He also does Link DAC mods for those interested. |
