| Bright future for Laserdisc???? LD uses PCM as opposed to the compression schemes used in DVD 5.1 or 2 channel. It also operates at a higher frequency 96kHz instead of 44.1 kHz. My systems D/A and other associated equipment is optimized using the 44.1/16 format. This is probably... | |
| Help with Buzzing in Speakers Let me add this:1. You may want to try moving the player further away from the processor. 2) try a different wall plug for one of the two involved components. 3) Check to make sure you don't have a "rat's nest" with your cables. 4) Try a different... | |
| Help with Buzzing in Speakers This is an educated guess, as I don't know what kind of cables you're using or if any line conditioners in the set-up. On DVD's (I'm presuming that is your HT source?)there is no recorded audio in the "menu" set up between those "sound effects" th... | |
| Where to buy lead shot Thanks for that website Sutts it may come in handy in the future. I went ahead and used the sand and pea-gravel mix, about 60lbs per side. The stands are filled about 2/3 full. I should mention the "stands" are cubed wooden enclosures - I couldn't... | |
| BEST HEAVY METAL BAND I think a lot of the aformentioned bands had a unique style that helped define currnet"Heavy Metal". Back in the day, these bands pushed the envelope and were very much hated by our parents. I was lucky enough to catch Nirvana and Alice in Chains ... | |
| BEST HEAVY METAL BAND I'm showing my age too....but Deep Purple was KILLER in their prime. The things Blackmore could do with a guitar. Their album Motorhead still rocks! I agree with most of the other metal bands listed and still like Metallica! While they may not be ... | |
| Best used amp $750 range The Bryston is a good pick. I'd also encourage you to listen to a Hafler 9270. It is a NICE sounding amp with many of the same characteristics of the Bryston - quick and very warm sounding for SS. Ultimatley, you will want to get an amp that will ... | |
| Feelings on Napster? While you may have posted this topic, you do not own it or control it. I last looked at this post when it was about the topic you were presenting for discussion. I read everyone's comments and found them to be interesting. I even threw in my 2c at... | |
| Feelings on Napster? Issabre, your second post from the top says that you consider yourself to be an artist. You also have lived in Africa and seem fairly educated. If I were playing Sherlock Holmes, I would deduce that you come from a wealthy family and have a MAJOR ... | |
| Help...DVD problems (I think??) I disagree with the speaker being the problem here. Usually speakers that aren't shielded properly will cause distortion in the color - like casting a green or red tint in the area near the speaker. I would check the cable. Try the RCA outputs onc... | |
| Where to buy lead shot Thanks for all the great ideas. I was only able to find one store in the Dallas area that carried a substantial amount (i.e. bags) of shot, the smallest being 10gu. It was a pretty good distance however and paying for shipping from another destina... | |
| Where to buy lead shot Thanks for all the great ideas. I'll give these avenues a try. I'd prefer to buy it locally to save shipping $$$. I guess I'm leaning toward a shot/sand combo as this seems to make a lot of sense. | |
| Where to buy lead shot Thanks fpeel. I've tried several sporting good stores with no luck. I guess I'll keep trying. I've also been considering sand. Which do you think may work better, shot or sand? | |
| Feelings on Napster? Eldragon, funny how two of your examples are artists. The point though is that you're talking about ideas which can always be built upon, so long as there is no patent or copyright infringement. If this weren't the case we wouldn't see much advanc... | |
| Feelings on Napster? I am surprised and relieved so many people feel the same way I do about this issue. Mr Gridlock has hit the nail right on the head IMHO. As for the notion that this will somehow lead to the decline of the Western Civilization - Give me a Break! If... |
