| Better Quality CD's Unless you want SACD (Super Audio) or HDCD (High Definition) which are also available at Best Buy, generally speaking there is no such thing as a better quality CD. They are all the same. There are the occassional collector CDs made from other mat... | |
| How often do you listen to live music? Between four and six times per month. | |
| ultimate interconnect recommendations Also take a listen with Siltech. | |
| ultimate interconnect recommendations I was using Nordost SPM until I came accross a pair of Nordost Quattro Fil. I was amazed how much of an improvement I heard even at the lofty price level of those two cables. | |
| Internet purchase of Big-Screen TV A friend in Massachusetts purchased a 65 inch Toshiba Big Screen TV from Onecall.com which I believe is on the opposite coast in Washington. Has been very pleased with the deal he got. The TV came by commerical freight. | |
| more major players jumping on the sacd bandwagon I am always looking for better sound, but it has to make economic sense for me. I hope it succeeds. | |
| more major players jumping on the sacd bandwagon We talk a lot about how you can play regular CDs on a SACD machine and they sound very good. How about the other way around. If SACD cannot be played on non SACD machines, then the whole world including Joe consumer will need a new CD player. Will... | |
| more major players jumping on the sacd bandwagon As far as the Betamax comparison and the Stereophile article; most to all major films were available on Betamax. This did nothing to save it. So more record labels producing SACD may prove nothing. It really comes down to whether Sony will share t... | |

However I happen to own those two on CD already and one of the two on LP as well. The redbook versions are exc... | |
| Is a 12' X 16' room big enough for stereo? Put in a vaulted ceiling if you can, or if not, one as high as possible. | |
| REL Sub Woofer Tweaks I am using a Vansevers 211 power cord. Big improvment over the stock cord. | |
| SACD : why ? I have been saying for quite a while that if any new format survives it will probably be DVD-A. First because is is just the natural progression of 16/44 redbook to 24/192. Secondly: Joe and Jane consumer are buying DVD players which will also pla... | |
| CD Clubs -Press their own CD's? I suggest you all read the Stereophile article linked above. It found no difference what-so-ever; and the testing done was substantial. This included mixing/combining the two CDs with the polarity reversed on one. If they are identical they will c... | |
| 24/96 or 24/192 Just make sure the two DAC chip are similar in quality. A great 24/96 chip will outperform a poor 24/192 chip, much like a Pentium III processsor runnning at 700 Mhz will run circles around an Intel Celeron runnning at 800 Mhz. | |
| BW Nautilus 805, better to have them ported or sealed Some B&W speakers with ports come with foam plugs you can insert in the port to adjust the bass output. I have a pair of CDM-1 and P5 and they both came with foam plugs for the ports. The foam is not a seal, just a reduction of the air flow. |
