| Goodbye CD's On this topic, can someone explain to me if we're now getting past MP3 file types for downloaded music and moving on to high resolution files? Are these not compressed like MP3 files are? Are high rez files available today and are they on the same... | |
| Rotel RSX-1067 Well, after much research and auditioning, I went with the Rotel RSX-1057 this week (not the 1067 as this was just not in my budget). It's one powerful little machine though. It's only a 5.1 surround sound receiver but that's all I need. I simply ... | |
| Goodbye CD's This is truly a shame. There are still so many fantastic high end CD players out there being manufactured and now SACD seems to be moving forward. I will admit CD's are a pain in the ______ to keep clean. They do skip from time to time or the CD p... | |
| Receiver with Audyssey Onkyo/Denon are good brands to start with. What is your budget for this expense? | |
| Jackson Browne CD's I just purchased a digitally remastered "Late for the Sky" CD and wow, what a huge difference. Only paid $11.99 at Borders. Plays louder, clearer, much greater soundstage and vocals, bass ext, depth, information, etc. Now just waiting for "For Eve... | |
| $500 - $600.00 preowned cd player suggestions I've seen the Rotel RCD-1072 CD players being sold on this site in this price range. New $700.00. I have one and it's superb, especially for smooth jazz. It excels at that (i.e. Norman Brown, Lee Ritenour, Larry Carlton, David Benoit, Brian Culber... | |

| Jackson Browne CD's Mr hosehead:Glad you liked my thread. Appreciate that. Did you purchase any remastered JB CD's since you posted your message on 3/9 and if so, which ones? How do they sound? I'm going to hit our Borders tomorrow and listen first. Still hard to tel... | |
| cleaning discs and players I use a product called "CD Clean-It Kit" by CD 2000, Inc, Palatine, IL. It's inexpensive yet recommended by one the local high end hi-fi stores here in central NJ (The Sound Exhange, Somerville, NJ) who also sells literally thousands of pre-owned ... | |
| A/V Receiver for B&W matrix speakers The SR-18 is an older surround sound receiver than the SR-8500. Both are discontinued products from Marantz. The SR-18 specs claim this unit puts out 140 watts RMS from all 5 channels into 8 ohms. The SR-8500 is rated at 125 watts x 7 channels int... | |
| A/V Receiver for B&W matrix speakers Marantz is actually a good match for some of B&W loudspeakers. My Hi-Fi high end audio store sells both. I'm using a relatively new Marantz A-V receiver with B&W DM603 S3's, HTM61 center, ASW600 sub, and two M-1's. No problem driving these... | |
| A/V Receiver for B&W matrix speakers Are you referring to the current B&W 800 series loudspeakers? I don't see the word Matrix used on their website anywhere. I searched for it though. NAD T754 lists for $1099.00 I believe. That's close. Marantz SR6001 sells for $999.00. | |
| Need technical explanation Wow. Both excellent replies. Thanks very much. I thought discreet must have meant separate power amps but wasn't sure. So a 7.1 A-V receiver (for example) then has 7 separate and distinct amplifiers. Kirkus, you must be a graduate electrical engin... |
