| 720p vs 1080i Thank you for the clarification. I meant to say that at 50" diagonal measurement displays or smaller, the differences between 720 and 1080 are insignificant. I did not mean at viewing distance. And, although most displays are good out of the box, ... | |
| Speaker placement: Any difference for cd or vinyl? I wish that both need the same speaker distance, but my phono has a slightly wider separation and so I sit slightly closer for digital than analog. Changing your seating position is all you may need, or nothing at all. | |
| 720p vs 1080i I have a friend who is a certified ISF technician and has calibrated 1000's of televisions. I stand by his advise. At 50" or less there is no difference to the human eye between 720 and 1080. Larger than that and the difference MAY be apparent, or... | |
| Help Anti Static Brush creates MORE static I advise using an anti-static gun like the old Zerostat or the Milty. I use it every time I use a brush, even after deep cleaning. It zaps static electricity and is a worthwhile investment. | |
| Good Bookshelf Speakers for a Hearing Loss? I sympathize with your condition. Usually, high frequency hearing loss is noise-induced. It also brings with it an intolerance of accentuated high frequency sounds. This is very common, everything from loud concerts to factories. I have heard seve... | |
| Good reciever to buy with phono stage I am a big fan of Onkyo receivers. I have an 805 and it is fabulous for decoding many different formats, is reliable, and very user-friendly. The 606 is about $450 online, or you can put a little more into it and move up the food chain. I have use... | |
| Internet Radio Hardware Do you have a computer or laptop near your audio system? I have used my laptop through a USB DAC. I am using a PS Audio in one system and a Peachtree in another. Trends is an inexpensive one. I am having loads of fun. Any computer will do. Don't w... | |
| Music Hall MMF 7.1...cartridge options? I am skeptical about using a speed box with the 7.1 In my experience using a strobe disc the speed was absolutely perfect with no visible or audible variation. I even asked Music Direct about using the speed box and he said he would be happy to se... | |
| Speaker cable improvements I am a devoted fan of the anti-cables. Some hate them. I love them. You how it is. Everything is interdependent and the cables are just one link of the chain from source to your ears. At least they are worth a try and the money is refundable if yo... | |
| Music Hall MMF 7.1...cartridge options? I have loved my MMF 7.1 for several years and don't feel the need to change. The Eroica is a fine cartridge. I routinely check the speed by strobe disc and it is always perfect. The clamp works well. I believe it is a great intro into vinyl for a ... | |
| PS audio digital link 3 or similiar Dac I can speak to the PS Audio DLIII. It presents a wonderful soundstage, a warm presentation, a realistic voicing for string instruments, and a great broad frequency response. I love it. Good luck. | |
| Mellencamp on Music Business Thanks for the link. My point of view may differ from the previous posts. I grew up with vinyl and still think it gives the best performance. CDs may have been a clever ploy to ensnare the masses but it gave us a portable medium which was better t... | |
| Usher 6371 vs Von Schweikert VR4jr Fin1Bxn,Did you test from one or more than one position? I found that moving even a few feet away from my sitting position dropped or raised the frequencies depending upon room nodes. The devil is in the details and the speaker is capable of going... | |
| Best Pre/Pro for under a $1000 used? To have all the latest codecs decoded I went with an Onkyo receiver and don't use the amps, but you can use them for the surround sound, center, or mains. Very cost-effective and high quality. | |
| Has Anyone Criticized The Choice Of Your Cables? Yes. Speltz Anti-Cables. Happens all the time. |
