| Best band never to release a truly great album? The Rolling Stones | |
| Any Opinion on DCC/MoFi CD Quality? Ben said it all. Look at the time when these were released. The MoFi "The Wall" was released in the early '90's (like '91 or '92 I think) and at the time was way beyond the regular version that was out. The remastered version of The Wall, released... | |
| SACD finally taking-off? non-classical listeners This whole thread is kind of funny! I'm old enough now that I have a vast CD collection that has taken me 18 years to accumulate (got my first CD player in '84) and I don't have any intention of re-purchasing all of the same titles again!!! In add... | |
| Once Upon A Time In... Phil,I don't know about the running time of the film being a Hollywood nightmare. Remember that some of the most popular (and successful) films of all-time are long one's. I'm thinking Ben-Hur, GWTW, Lawrence of Arabia and as more recent examples ... | |
| 5 most overrated movies ever...... There has been a lot of bashing of movies that I like as well, Braveheart, Dances With Wolves, A Clockwork Orange and Gladiator being a few, but IMO the following really define overhyped:1. Unforgiven - this lame attempt of Eastwood to try and she... | |
| WEL -- Wife Equivalent Language I used to explain my latest purchases to my wife and what the new equipment did better or different than before. I learned QUICKLY that if it took more than a brief sentence to explain a blank stare would come to her face. I think she started to f... | |
| DVD Regions - Any Workaround? I have run into a similar problem. A good friend of mine is married to a German lady and they now live together in the US. He is trying to find DVD titles that have German as an optional language. It seems like all of the alternate languages here ... | |
| Who makes JUST a processor???? Thanks for the great suggestions - you guys are great! I'm looking very hard at the new Sony TA-P900es pre-amp which accepts TWO sets of 5.1 inputs and a stereo bypass. That piece also got an A rating in the latest 'Phile recommended componenets l... | |
| Sony SCD-C555ES good for redbook? I agree with you Bufus, Sony should honor the warrenty no matter what. It's up to Sony to ensure their "dealers" honor the company's warrenty when the product is sold "as new". I hope everything works out for you. The feedback you lent regarding t... | |
| Sony SCD-C555ES good for redbook? Bufus, Thanks for the update. Are you going to get another 555es? Or do you think it was a design flaw? Thanks. Tony | |
| Name this Preamp Wally, Thank you for your suggestion. I went to their website and checked some user threads of the Outlaw 950 (you have to access it by going to the April newsletter - on the left of the Outlaw main page)! Aside from excitement over the unit final... | |
| Error in Upsampling Certain CDs? South Park, Sorry for not getting back to you right away. According to the DAC1000 manual: "De-Emphasis LED - Some digital recordings are encoded with pre-emphasis contouring. Your D/AC-1000 automatically recognizes and processes them. An LED illu... | |
| Name this Preamp Thanks for the suggestions! I'll certainly check them out! | |
| Name this Preamp OK, maybe the $1000 budget is a little optimistic. I keep seeing models that have the features I want but convert the signal to digital to acheive it. I don't mind that it does this for HT (DD, DTS, etc) but I don't want my 2-channel "compromised"... | |
| Error in Upsampling Certain CDs? FWIW: I have a copy of the Wall. It is the only disc I own that makes a light turn on my DAC (Parasound DAC1000). If I recall, that light signifies some kind of compression or something in the recording process. It is truly a reference CD. I upsam... |
