| Buzz from speakers Several of the above problems will cause a buzz; cable TV connector, a bad tube on the amp or preamp (I'm not familiar w/ your models) or some other device on the same circuit that is emmiting "something" (EMI/RFI). You say the listening room is i... | |
| Is a pre/pro considered digtal or analog ? Good luck! | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? This "hobby" of ours can certainly be mysterious. I still remember the first set of speaker cables I tried to replace my zip cord. I was skeptical! Both were the same guage, which I thought was the MOST important thing but the comparison between t... | |
| Is a pre/pro considered digtal or analog ? It depends on the preamp. A few years ago I was looking at preamps that did one or the other and sometimes both. Many of the posts above describe the "both" situation. Many preamps have A/D conversion where the analog signal going in (from a DVD o... | |
| What I want to see in the next gen of SACD players Tfkaudio,You *could* get quality y-jacks from the pre-out with one set going to your main amp and the other set run to your sub. The signal would be full-range from the pre to the sub so you would have to set the cross-over appropriately. You may ... | |
| What I want to see in the next gen of SACD players Maineiac, are you able to instantly toggle back and forth between multi-channel and stereo while the disc is still playing? If so, what SACD player do you have? Thanks! | |
| How good is the proccessing in Sony DVP NS 999 ES? I have written about the sony 999es' processing prowess for a while on this forum. When I first bought the unit in late 2002 it was to improve upon my older DVD/LD (Pioneer) player for the video quality. I also figured it would be a good way to "t... | |
| iPod: Questions and Options Looks like this software will do the trick (from what I gather). It will make Windows Me and Windows 98 compatible with the iPod. Here's the link for those in the same boat as myself.http://www.mediafour.com/products/xplay/Once I get this puppy ru... | |
| iPod: Questions and Options I didn't really want to start another thread but was hoping one of you all who obviously have experience with this iPod could answer a question regarding the operating system of the computers you use. Just the other day I won a 20g iPod in a door ... | |
| Radio Station CD Players? What kinds? I suspect Onhwy61 is correct. There is a fairly new classic rock station here in Dallas (70's-90's fare) that has very good sound. I mean I've heard these tunes a hundred times over the years! In this case I was so impressed I emailed the station ... | |
| what's your favorite album cover? "In Search of the Lost Chord" by the Moody Blues. The depiction of the "life cycle" is VERY cool! Another favorite cover, again by the Moody Blues, is "A Question of Balance" - Einstein's cigar smoke morphing into clouds - gotta love it! | |
| Eerie, Ethereal, Moody, Involving Soundtracks OK, this may be more mainstream but the soundtrack to "Gladiator" certainly conveys loneliness and can be otherwordly at times. I like it anyway. If you like the Bladerunner ST you should check out some other works by Vangelis like "Opera Sauvage"... | |
| Why is Sony Digital sound more like vinyl? Usblues,A great observation that is too often understated in these posts and reviews in general. I have known many audiophiles in my life and none of them has the same composition of gear in their rigs. They may have owned the same gear at some po... | |
| Anyone heard the Allman Brothers SACD hybrids? I bought Eat a Peach a few days ago. The guitars (on the studio songs) sound more natural and smooth while the concert stuff sounds more like ... well 70's concert recordings. I don't know how valuable this review is as I haven't A/B'd the CD vs. ... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? "And then one day you find 10 years have got behind you, no one told you when to run, you'd missed the starting gun." - Way too true |
