| Best Center Channel Speaker I don't know what your main speakers are or if you're planning on replacing your main speakers (?). This is improtant because you want to have a tonal balance across the front (i.e, you want similar sounding speakers). Many center channels are des... | |
| Best disc on DVD for audio? Thanks everyone. Thanks Scott, I'll get that July issue. I bought the new Madonna DVD 93:99 and it was pretty "decent". It still has that super high-pitched "whistle" that I have heard time and again from the music DVD format. Although this could ... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Almost anything by the Moody Blues pre-1973. One of a kind sound and the reason for me being in high-end audio! The new album is excellent as well (the best in years in fact! IMHO! | |
| best pink floyd dark side cd I have owned all versions of DSOM since the first CD release. I truly feel the MoFi is the best. I have to tell you that the first CD release is a close second. The 25th ann. remaster is the worst of the bunch, however (IMHO). Ironically, this is ... | |
| CD,DVD,Vinal storage?? To Albertporter and everyone else, thanks for the suggestions. I do own the house but I'd rather not build shelves. Ideally, I'd like a solid coffee table with drawers that would slide out. To clarify a little further, I'm pretty well set with CD ... | |
| Best DAC under US$300 Parasound DAC 1000. You can pick it up used for approx. $250. Killer sound and very well built. It has Dual push-pull, Burr-Brown PCM 63K chips with 20 bit res per channel and a CS 8412 clock for low-jitter. Outputs 1 toslink, 1 coax and 1 ST (AT&... | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? David 99, I made it clear I was here to get insight from people who have heard it. I did not, until your most recent post, read where you HAD heard the thing. As for the other posts about this being a marketing ploy...an opinion. One I just don't ... | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? Ok, I was hoping to get some insight into this "new" technology from audio enthusiasts who have actually listened to the product. Instead I'm getting the same old analogue vs. digital argument. I have nothing against lps, in fact I have heard some... | |
| Great sound possible using a Subwoofer? I think the real issue here is what type of amplifier are you using? Accurate reproduction of low frequencies requires a lot of power. This is why most powered subs will have dediacted amplification of 200 watts or more (preferably). Adding a well... | |
| Switching device for speaker source A few solutions, although I'm not sure what your receiver alows you to do as for as pre-outs and ins. My first suggestion would be to spend about $35 at Rat Shack and get a SPL meter. You should be able to calibrate your channel outputs to make ev... | |
| Difference between digital/analo cables? Thanks for the response. The cable going out of the DTI is the AA powered cable which has always worked well.AVGUY, Having owned the DTI+ - DTI PRO 32, did you find a huge improvement between each step? I ask because I'm considering the DTI-PRO wh... | |
| HiFi dealers & audiophile wife problems Thanks again for the first-hand account Carl. The best headphones I had heard (I don't remember the brand) was at Disney's MGM studio a few years back. They had an exhibit where they did an old "radio show" only with modern recording techniques. T... | |
| Need help with room!!!! Thanks Tom. I'll see if I can't get hold of that book! | |
