| Anyone used a HDMI to stereo rca adapter Hi R Burke,I was in the same boat a couple of months back--just got my first flat screen, and I still use tubes too. I ended up getting this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ANIIY9I?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s...It... | |
| Modern Jazz (as in recent) Music Suggestions To me, the most interesting things happening in jazz are happening in Europe--Marcin Wasilewski Trio (and Tomas Stanko when Wasilewski's trio backed him up), Tord Gustafson, Bobo Stenson, Arild Andersen, etc.... , all on the ECM label. | |
| OPPO BDP 103/105, sound quality??? I just got the Oppo 103 for DVD/BlueRay playback, and the sound quality is superb. It has RCA outs for a 2-channel hookup (as well as 5 channel hookup), which is what I use. My own feeling is that, where CD players are concerned, you can hit the u... | |
| Moto_Man's Scam Of The Week Well, if you've ever been on the job market for a position in big city orchestras, you'll notice that they have some very specific rules governing their blind auditions. All of the rules are designed to keep the playing field level. In addition to... | |
| Digital Coaxial audio to rca/analogue questions Thanks for the responses, Theo. Yes, the TV does have a coaxial digital audio out. Adapter on order. | |
| Blu Ray Plyr for Two-Channel Stereo RCA Outputs ? DB,I'm sure you're right that my "analog via RCA requirement suggests and Oppo 105 or 95," but alas, my budget suggests something less expensive. ;) | |
| Blu Ray Plyr for Two-Channel Stereo RCA Outputs ? Thanks very much, Bill. I found the manual and went to the pages you suggested. Much obliged. | |
| Blu Ray Plyr for Two-Channel Stereo RCA Outputs ? Does using just the FR and FL channels cut the sound quality? That is, are those channels just sending out a narrow frequency band, or do those outputs send out the whole band? | |
| Shipping Set of Speakers across country Like everything, it all depends on who is doing the packing. It's one thing if a speaker manufacturer is packing the speakers with custom double boxes, and then dropping them off at the freight co. to be secured to a palet. Quite another if the fr... | |
| Recommend a subwoofer? I can also recommend the SVS subs. Great value, great company. | |
| Sub suggestions I'll second the SVS SB 1000s. I bought a pair delivered for under 1k, and they're tremendous. Great company, great product. Highly recommended. | |
| Where should I spend my $2000? Full range speakers big enough to move more air while maintaining fidelity. And I'd definitely buy them second hand. | |
| Importance of recapping a SS amp? I have a vintage Kenwood Supreme 600 from 1974. In 2006 I had it recapped, and it was overdue, but not by 17 years. You couldn't hear any degradation in sound, but the big caps had started to bulge at the bottom. After the recap, things were brigh... | |
| Marcin Wasilewski Trio--Spark of Life Didn't know about Simple Acoustic Trio. I first heard them w/ T. Stanko. Those two cds (no mp3s for me) seem to be hard to come by. I'll keep my eyes open. Wish ECM would release them. | |
| Is there a minimum length for power cords? Geoffk,"that" is mos def an indef ref. |
