Best Musical Home Theater 5-channel Amp/PreAmp
Take a look at Denon 3803 or 4803. Also, if you can live without the latest and greatest in these lines from Denon you can find prices well within your budget on the 3802 and 4802. I've been using a 3801 for nearly six years: DTS, Dolby Digital, D... 
Has anyone heard the new Led Zeppelin Live cd
John Bonham played with Zep. Keith Moon played with The Who...If the CD is anything like the DVD, the quality is astonishing. I didn't think any rock concert recorded in the 1970's could sound as good as the Zep DVD. Highly recommended. 
Classe CAM 200 vs Bryston 7B SST vs Aragon Palladi
Bryston's theory is one of total neutrality with no coloration added by its amplifiers or preamplifiers, thereby ensuring what the listener is hearing is what the artist intended. This is why Bryston equipment is used in so many recording studios.... 
SACD/Redbook one-box solution?
I'm planning to have Dan Wright mod a Sony DP999ES with his tube stage. $700 for the player plus $1200 for the mod = $1900 for a machine that buy all accounts is marvelous. Warranty issues are addressed by Dan doing any required work and charging ... 
Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts
Tlopes, your memory of that show is frightening. I do distinctly remember that I had never been to a show that had such excellent sound. And, I was amazed at the lasers that literally flew out over the audience...seemingly just over our heads. Man...

Rolling Stones, Dodger Stadium, "Bridges to Babylon" tour.Honorable mention to U2, Shea's Theater Buffalo, "War" tour.Tlopes, I have often thought that the Kansas show from the "Leftoverture" show was amazing. I thought my pleasant memories were d... 
Edge M6 with Aerial 7B ?
My 7B's sounded terrific with my Bryston 4B SST at higher volumes. Ultimately, however, I believe they thirsted for even more power and I'm moving up to a 14B SST. Bryston affords great bang for the buck IMHO. 
New Led Zeppelin
I can't over how amazing the DVD sounds, even the material from 1970. Terrific recording...the band is in tune and Plant is right on key the whole time. Does anyone know if anything was overdubbed to "help" the original recordings. Whatever magic ... 
Now I know what SACD is good for.
Darryl, which Stevie Ray Vaughan disk are you referring to? My palms are all sweaty in anticipation of ordering a copy. 
SCD-1 Questions...
Has anyone successfully played CD-R's on their SCD-1? I often need to listen to burned disks in my work, and this is a prerequisite for a CD player. 
Progess. scan pic not as sharp as interlaced-Why?
Progressive scan is intended to appear more "film-like" and to that end it softens the picture somehwat in an attempt to reduce the appearance of the scan lines. Some regard this as a "better" picture. The size of your screen magnifies the scan li... 
Which 16:9, 46" RPT--Toshiba v. Sony
I have to second Scottht's opinion. Sonys have exceptional pictures. There may be none better. But, if you have problems, as I had with the sound, you're screwed. I was fortunate to have a Sony technician available in LA. But after three service c... 
Shanling T100 Tubes
Rpadula, I have the T200 as well. I switch between the solid state and digital outputs using my Bryston BP25 pre-amp. I have the solid state outputs running to my "CD" input, and the tube outputs running to my "AUX" input. They are adjacent on the... 
Shanling T100 Tubes
I don't know about the WE396A tube change firsthand. I had the WE396A tubes from the outset, but others report an improvement over the stock tubes. Also, you'll notice a subtle difference between the tube and solid state outputs once the tubes hav... 
Multi-zone control panels--suggestions?
Niles has a simiilar system. I use a simple repeater system to control preamp, CD and DVD players located in my living room from my office. I have the IR receiver hidden behind a speaker grill on one of my office bookshelf speakers. A wire runs un...
