Why LCD and Plasma? 37
I also have the 36" Sony XBR CRT 1080i that I bought in 2004. It was the reference set for some reviewers at the time, and I'm still constantly amazed at the picture quality and color richness. I use it with standard DVDs, I tried a Toshiba HD-DVD... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Has anyone ever hear a hum emanating from the power supply after extended play time. Sounds like a transformer hum. Not a ground fault problem...nothing from the speakers, just from power supply.I recently started getting a hum from my Syrah power... 
The Wizard of Oz and Pink Floyd
It might be a coincidence, but there are a remarkable number of coincidences: new songs starting with change of scene in the movie, lyrics that seem relevent to characters or scenes in the movie, there are websites where you can read a list of all... 
what is the proper protocol
"as soon as it was reasonably determined the item was lost"I'd agree with that too - it should take no more than a week or so to file a claim and have the shipping company admit that it is lost and start a search. In the case I described, I was ab... 
what is the proper protocol
I have to agree with Ditto - the shipping company will typically start a "search" that can take weeks or months to resolve. I had a lost package with Fedex, 2 months later they found it in the search phase (they said that paint had spilled on it a... 
SF amati and SET amplifiers?
I'm using the DeHavilland GM70 (50 W SET) and they have plenty of power for my room (about 14x32x8 feet). I have not tried other amps, so I'm also curious if something like the BAT might work better (there was some discussion on another thread abo... 
Best Neil Young Album?
Maybe not his best - but you can listen to the entire new album online, here: http://www.hyfntrak.com/neilyoung2/AFF23252/It's pretty good. And I just noticed Lugnut's post on 5/18/05, hope someone was able to get him set up with the video clip. 
The Clever Little Sharp
...having said this, I contend that CLC/CLF and the various other devicesCLF...? hmm, is that the Clever Little F***? How much does that cost? ;-> 
Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?
Tbg: I'm still not following your point about sample size, but it sounds like you are saying that it is possible to manipulate statistical methods to prove anything one wants to by the way one chooses the sample size...?If the effect of the CLC we... 
Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?
I teach research methods and find the question of whether a random sample's sampling error could have accounted for the variation noted to be trivial, especially as anything will be statistically significant if the sample size is large. Maybe I mi... 
Playing dual layer SACD/CD disc on Sony DVP9000 ES
I tried the procedure that Sfstereo described and it did not work for me, although, I did not have a "DVD - Dual layer" disc. (Not even sure what that is.) Also, I was surprised that a hybrid SACD disc was not required for the callibration.Anyway,... 
Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?
I had a guest staying with me for a few days, so I put him the sweet spot and played some tunes, I loved his reaction, he just kept repeating, in a tone of amazement: "You don't need drugs, you don't need drugs..." 
Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?
According to the Positive Feedback review the effects were so dramatic that it should be easy to carry out a succesful double blind test. Given how improbable this device is, I think the Clarks and Positive Feedback have an obligation to carry out... 
Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?
Has anyone done a true blind test - where someone else removes or inserts the CLC in your house? If you can reliably determine whether the CLC is anywhere in the house this would provide remarkable evidence for some totally unknown natural phenome... 
Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity?
I'm copying below excerpts from a positive feedback review in a blind test *without* the CLC, from www.positive-feedback.com/Issue23/clock_nespa.htm: Well, in a word, everything sounded bad. I was surprised at how awful things sounded.... ....Sadl...
