DVD players with balanced audio outputs?
I was unaware that there were BAT, Wadia, Levinson, and Krell DVD players, I'll have to look into them. All kidding aside I think there is one out there, I am not sure who makes it but I recall looking for one myself a while back, I decided the be... 
Looking To Buy Wide Screen TV
yes I think I have heard that some place too, about flat being "inaccurate". Prior to the Wega was the Trinitron TV's which use similar design as Craigs Loewe, they use a cylindrical tube section instead of a round tube section, thus creating the ... 
Audio tip for aging male audiophiles
LOL, I hope you guys can appreciate why this muses me. One day, I'll have to remember this one! I just got off of Flinestone chewables, I have a few more years! 
speaker match with rogue audio
Merlin speakers would do good in that system, I was able to talk to Bobby from merlin for a long time one evening and we got talking about building a "budget system" and he said his speakers with Rogue is pretty amazing for the money. For a CD pla... 
Looking To Buy Wide Screen TV
I actually have a "pet" chunk of Anthracite coal which I like a lot, a great conversation starter. But I could always use another or perhaps a chunk of bituminous coal would be nice, I collect that sort of stuff! FWIW it is hard to locate Bitumino... 
Looking To Buy Wide Screen TV
To heck with the front projector, I just had an opportunity to spend some time with a Loewe Aconda, if I could go back I would consider getting one of them. Though not near the size of the front projector it was amazing, but then you have to deal ... 
Sony DVP S9000 ES vs. Sony DVP NS900V
I am doing exactly what you are doing, using the 9000es for 2 channel SACD and as a transport for everything else. I enjoy the unit a lot and am not sure if I will upgrade it any time soon. Though I am unable to compare it to the NS900V, seeing as... 
What to see at the CES show?
Halcro, I have never seen or heard them and would knock my brother out for the chance to. Isn't brotherly love something else. I would also pay attention to Avalon Acoustics multi channel set-up and everything Rockport. But as said for 3 years in ... 
Best thread poster for 2001?
Gosh that's a tough one, I agree with everyone listed so far and would also add Jtinn, Bob_Budnus, Angela100, Redkiwi(who has not been here much as of late) who are all super helpful. I could not narrow it down to less then 12 super individules wh... 
Copy-protected CDs - philosophical discussion
Suing sony, no way but I made a hell of a law suit against Mcdonalds and their too hot coffee :) well maybe not me but I am sure we are all familar with that one. I am sure someone will find a way to file a class acion law suit, but I probably won... 
Copy-protected CDs - philosophical discussion
Frogman, you bring up some interesting points, but at the same time not many people are burning CD's for resale. I don't agree with copying CD's period, but many here enjoy a "spare" copy for the vehicle which is wrong and they should not do it, b... 
They're Here
Flex you bring up some interesting points, I guess the only answer at this point is time will tell. I would enjoy a player that was cabable of doing a good job on all formats, I just don't see it being available any time soon, and if it is it will... 
They're Here
I was visiting an audiophile friend last night and we were discussing how it would be very possible that even on the high end players there may be some comprimise made. That is to say if a good player does it all, there has to be a weakness, be it... 
Copy-protected CDs - philosophical discussion
I stand corrected, I misunderstood his view, I hope Onhwy61 will accept my most humble appologize. I think I will now take your advice and enjoy the pre ;) Thanks for clearing the fog, which for some reason always seems to be clouding my vision. G... 
Copy-protected CDs - philosophical discussion
Well first of all I don't drink beer, nor do I drink any more at all so I am unable to follow instructions(what's new). I never claimed he was an anarchist nor am I attacking his integrity but if he claims to be an audiophile and is yet willing to...
