New H20 Signature S250
Eldartford, like you, I believe the future of ICE and other digital amps lies in multi-channel applications. What a benefit to have crystal clear sound for 5,6 or 7 channels in an inexpensive and lightweight single box? Frankly, I'd be surprised i... 
Silver vs. Cooper speakers cables
Off topic, but Rsbeck's mention of Amazing Randi brought this to mind...Rsbeck, I'll bet you will love The Skeptical Enquirer . I once purchased a subscription for my Dad, who was the biggest skeptical thinker I knew. I believe Amazing Randi might... 
reactions to SMILE?
Showtime has a TV special titled "Beautiful Dreamer: Brian Wilson and the Story of Smile". I watched it on DVD last night, and it's a fascinating look at Brian, some history of the Beach Boys, and the development of Smile in 1967 to it's completio... 
Best Complete HomeTheater USED for $5000.00
Chad, my center is toed down about half an inch. I sit about seven feet away, and the center is about 4 1/2 feet off the floor. The nearfield set-up is probably an issue, but I really don't have any problem integrating the speakers from my Sony XB... 
Best Complete HomeTheater USED for $5000.00
Rsbeck, you make a good point about center channel sound. My center channel speaker rests on top of my TV in a pretty ideal location. Nevertheless, I find it very distracting to hear the dialogue come from above the picture, so I turn up my TV's s... 
AAC or AppleLossless
You're right, Onhwy61. Sorry.If I had a reference quality PC based server, I'd use AppleLossless... 
Your "DREAM" piece
Today, I'd have to go with a VAC Phi Beta integrated amp. I'd like to think it's a statement piece of electronics that I would not get the itch to replace.Next week it might be something else! 
Eagles Concert Guitar Player
Could have sworn I saw Joe Walsh and Stuart Smith trading solos on a tune. I can't remember which song it was, but I remember wondering who the guitar player was because I didn't recognize him and I thought he was very good. 
AAC or AppleLossless
Aida_w, in my opinion, the iPod does not lend itself well as a reference source suitable for serious listening. It works great as a background/party music jukebox. For this purpose MP3 works just fine. 
New H20 Signature S250
The CI Audio D100 monos have an anolog power supply. I'd be interested to know if anyone...especially the H2O groupies (and I mean that in the nicest way)...has heard the D100s. If so, how do they differ from the H20. How are they alike? 
Best 5 engineered rock albums?
Peter klim, that was Robbie Robertson's 1987 self tilted album on Geffen Records, and it was an extremely well engineered effort...agreed! 
AAC or AppleLossless
I have imported most of my files in AppleLossless with the remainder in MP3. For my purposes, the AppleLossless format does not provide any significant benefit over MP3. I listen primarily with earbuds, and sometimes through my reference 2 channel... 
Just upgraded to the DK VS-1 Signature
Procalc, comparing equipment is a common technique employed in reviews. It's an important element that helps legitimize the reviewer's opinion of a product. Without such comparisons, a comment such as, "it outperforms every amplifier that I have h... 
Best 5 engineered rock albums?
Oh, I see your point, but you're the first to have an issue with it in three and a half years...Care to offer your Top Five Best Engineered Rock Albums and get this thread back on topic? 
Best 5 engineered rock albums?
Why, Dazzdax, because you don't agree with the opinions? That's what this thread is all about. Why not offer a few choices of your own instead of kicking sand on those offered by others?
