| Classical Music on the Radio if you have iTunes, you can stream radio stations. Take a pair of headphones and check their sound quality right on your iMac with iTunes. There are a lot of radio stations you can get over internet that aren't that bad sounding. 128kbps won't be ... | |
| Mitsubishi DLP problem Thanks Jim.Happy Holidays to everyone!!!! | |
| Upgrading Frontend in 2009: Which way to go? I'm happy with the Bel Canto DAC3. Has volume control and can be used in a computer based front end, which is how I use it in my system - no preamp, Mac Mini via USB cable into DAC3 and then direct into amplifier via XLR outputs of the DAC3. Great... | |
| Mitsubishi DLP problem The thing is, I really like this TV. The colors are very natural. The picture doesn't strike you immediately. It's not like the TVs in the store you walk in and get shocked by the colors of the displays, almost cartoon like colors. This TV does ha... | |
| Mitsubishi DLP problem $1800? Hell yeah I am glad I have opted for that extended warranty. The tech said optical engine and also mumbled some other words that meant very little to me. Interesting...you are probably right though, optical engine and light engine could be ... | |
| Mitsubishi DLP problem yes. It is the optical engine....whatever it means. They will take it in for repair after the holidays. | |
| Pre Amp + Amp to run B&W 803S you bought speakers that require a very high quality amplifier. B&Ws will sound terrible if you use the amp that is not totally up to the level of the speakers. This is the biggest disadvantage with B&Ws - they require top notch amplificat... | |
| best classical redbook cds for strings and piano I'll try to make suggestions so the performance and sound quality is balanced, not always ideal, but at least acceptable. Here it is:Hilary Hahn - "Hilary Hahn plays Bach" Midori - "French Violin Sonatas"Mstislav Rostropovich, Benjamin Britten - "... | |
| Mitsubishi DLP problem Thanks! I'll post the update. | |

| AC/DC Black ice very harsh comments about Metallica's "Death Magnetic". Only major issue I see is recording quality, but calling it unlistanble is a bit too harsh, IMO. I enjoy it. More so than the new AC/DC.I have not picked up the new G n R yet.As far as AC/DC'... | |
| CDP's being dumped for hard drive driven units? I sold my Audio Research CD3MkII and replaced it with Apple Mac Mini + 1tb HD, via USB into Bel Canto DAC3. Sure the CD3MkII was one awesome CD player and I loved it.But...no regrets. So far so very good. | |
| G'N'R Chinese Democracy LP so sound quality aside, how's the music? | |
| Sax 101... Excellent write up!I would add Michael Brecker to the list of the great tenor sax players. Also, if you are going to check out music recorded by ECM, it is almost its own movement of jazz for the most part. They have a different idea/approach and ... | |
| Upgrade Audio Research CD3 Mk11 I had this player. It is excellent. I would not mess with it. Either get somethig else, like the CD7, or get an external DAC but you will need to spend a lot to get an upgrade from CD3MkII.BTW, if you are not running it via XLR outputs, you are no... |
