| Pioneer SX-1050: worth repairing? I agree with Tpreaves. It really comes down to how attached you are sentimentally to the unit. Back in the late 70's I lusted after this line but, being a college student, couldn't afford one. I've moved on since then but still have fond memories ... | |
| Should I bother to try a subwoofer? There are reasons, other than filling in missing frequencies, to use a sub. One of the benefits of using a sub is that it can free the speaker from trying to reproduce frequencies at the bottom of its range. Many times this will have the effect of... | |
| Complete 2.0 System for Under $3k? Wow, is everyone taking the Memorial Day weekend off from serious posts?I don't see why this can't be accomplished if your expectations aren't sky-high. There are several decent turntables available for $300-400 and some really good integrated amp... | |
| getting file onto usb flash drive I doubt that it's formatted as NTFS. NTFS is not really designed for removable drives and Windows warns you about that if you try to force an NTFS format on a removable device.The most likely issue is the file format. The players I've used won't e... | |
| Gremlins Emerge with Switch to Windows 7 CW,Regarding the DVD issue: download a copy of VLC media player from here. It seems to be one of the best at playing odd codecs.Dick | |

| Vandersteen 4 There was actually a Model 4 at one time. No, I don't believe it would be a step up from 3A Signatures.http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=8&ved=0CFoQFjAH&url=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2FVandersteen-Model-4-Very-Rare-%2F33... | |
| Inexpensive speaker cable for Merlin I saw a thread somewhere that recommended Supra Classic 6.0. Bobby tried them too and agreed that they were excellent. MUCH cheaper than $500.I just googled the thread and found it here on Audiogon.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&... | |
| Apple to download 24 bit in iTunes? Sinner,I'm curious why digital music outlets haven't released tracks in 24bit from the git go...I think it's due to the fact that not much mainstream hardware (i.e., iPods) exists to play it. Those of us who crave it are a niche market at best. A ... | |
| Apple to download 24 bit in iTunes? I don't, for one minute, believe that the record companies are doing this for the benefit of consumers. We've seen this before - trying to convince us that we need to replace our current music collection with CD and then SACD/DVD-A (although they ... | |
| How can a 40 watt amp outshine a 140 watt amp Surely we must have some members on here that live near Cleveland and could help Mystertee hear a variety of equipment (probably set up with more care than many high end stores). Any volunteers? We've got a chance to win a convert here! I bet you ... | |
| Pictures At An Exhibition CD For the orchestrated version, I agree that the Reiner/Chicago version is one of the best and the standard all others are compared to. For the piano version, I prefer the version by Byron Janis on Mercury. The recording is a little thin sounding bu... | |
| Who are these crazy people? Hehehe, you're welcome Ncarv. As someone said to me the other day - "We need a sarcasm font for email." | |
| Who are these crazy people? I'm pretty sure Ncarv is being facetious guys. This is the way I usually listen to albums so I like this concept. I know the (former) members of Pink Floyd feel the same way as they were fighting against the release of individual songs from their ... | |
| Good news for tinnitus sufferers Interesting. How do they know rats are suffering tinnitus?Well, it's known that tinnitus is caused by false signals from the nerves in the ear to the brain. I would assume that they create the tinnitus in the same way that humans develop it - by l... |
