Any Drawbacks to COD

5th Element Superbit - Audio not playing?
If other disks work, you likely got a bad disk. Try it in another player, but either way return it for another. 
Spanish Guitar
There is an XRCD by Gino D'Auri titled Flamenco Passion. The best recording of this type of guitar I've ever heard. It is one of the disks I use to evaluate systems. It will be used today to play with my new amp for sure! Find it, buy it, you'll l...

Opinions on bi-amping Linn Espek speakers ?
Karman,I can help you on this... I use the 5140's (older version of Espek's) for the front and rears of my HT. Hepl is right, you can bi-amp them, but it would need to be done passively (the crossovers still in the speaker and no active cards in t...

Esoteric DV-50 'S' Upgrade
OK, several hours, and movies later....The component outs are not as sharp as the DVI, colors seem slightley more lively, despite equally setting up each input. To me the slight difference in color was more than offset by the marked increase in sh... 
Esoteric DV-50 'S' Upgrade
I had mine done, in fact I was the first person to have it done, it took about 12 days from when I dropped it off at FedEx (I used Teac’s bulk shipping offer so it cost a total of $580 something). They sent me the shipping paperwork FedEx O/N, and...

Muzikat,$2000 doesn't buy a great bike... maybe a frame, but those Campy components don't come cheap!Gary107....I've had KEF 107.2’s, they need a solid amp with good bass. I powered them with an Aragon 4004 Mk II, but they really would have done b...
