| Speaker Cables - Optimal Length Formerly respected engineers. | |
| Side speakers? Slappy...If the 6th channel, LFE, is being used for rear ambience, how do they do the exploding cars? All this stuff is very poorly explained. | |
| Speaker Cables - Optimal Length 12 inches, with each speaker driven by its own amp. The money you save on speaker wire will buy the second amp. | |
| Side speakers? I think that there really are just 5 discrete channels, 6 counting the LFE. The rears are matrix-derived from the surrounds. Is this correct? | |
| DVD-A recording titles to die for Mrlabguy...Why do you NEED to navigate menus when you play a DVD-A? I know you CAN do that if you are in the mood to experiment, but most of the time I just hit the PLAY button like any other recording. Others have made the same complaint, and I d... | |
| Adding subwoofer to Full-Ragne Speakers question Take the speaker grill off, and play a record with lots of bass, best of all an LP with a bit of a warp, and watch the antics of the woofer cone. I think you will agree that it is a wonder that the poor woofer reproduces midrange at all.Also, some... | |
| DVD-A recording titles to die for Lej1447...Lately I have not bought any discs as I do not have time to listen to the ones I have. I have both SACD and DVD-A, and a well-engineered disc of either kind outperforms CD. Almost all my discs are classical. A couple of exceptions are AI... | |

| I've finally lost it I don't remember who said it but "To travel hopefully is better than to arrive". | |
| I've finally lost it I too have quit the endless search for perfection, several times. | |
| I've finally lost it Common sense dictates that you ought to get someone to copy the three LPs onto CDs. However, life would be dull if we always used common sense. Try to find some other irrational project that costs less. | |
| Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas Paul...The Oxyclean is just an idea, but Vodka has been used for years. It is a darned pure alcohol/water mix. If it doesn't work for you, other uses can be found, and I guess that goes for the Oxyclean too.Playing records wet is real. Radio stati... | |
| DVD-A recording titles to die for Jeffreybehr..."transported to the concert hall" is what a really good stereo system will do. Multichannel can do it somewhat better. However, multichannel can also do something that stereo can't...transport a small group of musicians, classical ch... | |
| DVD-A recording titles to die for If your setup is multichannel, and you will listen to classical, try TACET DVD D107, Mozart Flute Quartets. To really get the full impact, your rear speakers ought to be as good as the fronts. Other TACET discs are also excellent, but this is the ... | |
| Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas Use of enzymatic cleaners is the latest greatest thing for getting grass stains off your kid's jeans, but I would not think that the kind of dirt that gets on LPs is an appropriate application, but it would be worth a try. Why not use Shout, Oxycl... |
