| Basic HDTV Question? I live in a major metropolitan area where OTA (over the air) HDTV broadcasts have been available for some time. My projector had High Definition and I picked up an 'open box' tuner at Circuit City and a $35.00 HDTV antenna and I have been very muc... | |
| Redbook for the long haul After extensive auditioning I purchased the Audio Aero Capitole Mark II redbook Cd player. I had already pretty much decided on the AA and my decision was anchored by posts here on Audiogon. The latest release comes with an analog passthrough whic... | |
| Why Don't People Search The Forum Archives? I really don't have a problem with Audiogon's Search Engine. I am one of those who often won't find what I am looking for on the first search but, having read the first results, I find clues to where I do want to go.I found audiogon by entering Mc... | |
| One big subwoofer or two weaker subwoofers? My next direction is going to be in a really good subwoofer. I am beginning to think that this is one area where i will probably try a number of home auditions before deciding.Long live the local brick-and-mortar shops! | |
| Why Don't People Search The Forum Archives? Pbb said it very well. New people on the site should be greeted. We all start somewhere and it is often the nature of that greeting/response that will keep the newbies around.Remember, new is good, especially when you want to sell old equipment. | |
| Ads with "Checkup" well, I suppose any buyer could ask for a copy of the receipt showing all work performed. | |

| I am venturing into unfamiliar territory. I have been watching those new Magnapans. They are available factory-direct and you get a free trial. | |
| comparation between Magnepan & KEF ref. series If you are a Kef fan, check out the newest Referance 201 through 207. I own a pair of 205s and I plan to keep them. | |
| How do you know when to use ANALOG vs DIGITAL? Sean, your posts are great the way they are. If someone can't follow, they can always go to the next post...... | |
| Fried Amp & Bi-Wiring I got real worried about my posts being too close together so I added a bit of electricians tape around the two closest +/-posts.I have had too many contacts slip off over the years and then there is the maid or someone bumping a wire and we on oc... | |
| DVD recomendation I would consider the DVI output a minimal standard as I can always continue to use my DVD player as a transport and I can always upgrade my processor. | |
| Dacs better used from DVD or Receiver? Any DVD player that had a audio-digital output, usually toslink or coax, will send the signal unprocessed.There are the various formats that you refer to and, all I can say is that you should experiment until both units can work together.I run my ... | |
| Considering HDCD players I live in an area where I can audition HDCD, DVD-A and SACD and, yes there are very valid reasons to invest in each format.However, the above post reminding us that the vast majority of titles are available only in redbook compels me to stick with... |
