Since you mentioned it: this is just the ticket to play those rare Living Stereo Shaded Dog LPs while you roll down the highway: Road Tunes: Weird Vintage 1950s In-Car Record Players | Gadgets, Science & Technology

Another in a long line of speaker excesses-I had a friend that had these until the 1994 Northridge quake knocked them over: http://www.trygve.com/apogeediva1600.jpg

Without some technical measurement data or other objective information (other than the "pixel modulation", which is the only reference to what may be going on under the hood), this seems a lot like the same subjective reviews that are routinely criticized on this forum. I admit that I have not...

My current table is a VPI HW-19 Mark IV with an SME Model 10 tonearm (not available via retail-it is identical to the SME 309 tonearm), SME damping reservoir, Audio Technica Safety Raiser (widget that raises the tonearm at the end of the record) and an Audio-Technica ATML150 MM cartridge. My...

I always wanted to splurge and get a copy of this software for my speaker building hobby-this is the SW that Madisound uses for their custom crossover and speaker design services. LEAP Software - Analysis & Design of Loudspeakers, Enclosures, and Crossovers

Given the recent news, this might be a good investment. :-) CollectorsFrenzy - Slim Whitman LP's Lot Of 22

Don't forget the analog link between the speakers and your ears, and between your ears and your brain-tough to digitize those interfaces unless of course you are Commander Data.

I agree Mark-the 50s and early 60s era vinyl pressings were very robust, with deeper grooves that resisted scratches and scuffs better (I believe the Blue Note early pressings are referred to as "deep groove" for that reason), and some of mine sound great even with visible surface flaws (a...

Got one more for you: Bizet: Carmen Suite/Gounod: Faust RCA Living Stereo LSC-2449 Gibson, Royal Opera House Orchestra I've got the Classic Records vinyl reissue (gave up trying to find an original in good condition that I could afford), and the sound is amazing-in fact, I heard the Carmen...

That actually looks more like a record weight, since it doesn't have any sort of flange that covers the label (the details on the linked pages bear this out). The difference is that clamps typically screw or somehow fasten to the spindle, whereas weights just have a hole for the spindle and...

Grador and PENG, thanks for your quick responses-your interest inspired me to do a bit more research, which I have detailed below. Grador, I agree with you with respect to the audio-since the audio processing is occurring in the respective receivers, the difference in DACs and analog output...

I currently have two of the BDP-83 units and have been very happy with the audio and video performance of the players. I tried to do some searching but didn't have much luck, so I'm looking for some feedback on the relative merits of such a change (ie, BDP-83 to BDP-103). I use HDMI for audio...

The price of this set has risen to $64, but you can get a region free Bluray box set from Amazon UK for about the same price: Amazon.com: Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures [Blu-ray] Backing out VAT and accounting for overseas shipping and the US/UK exchange rate, the cost comes out to...

Mark, can you be more specific regarding your comment about the Rotel's poor ground plane design? Have you seen evidence of this flaw in all their amps or just certain models?

A lot of folks like the Technics for playback as well as DJ applications because of their predictable performance and reliability, but the main problem is finding one for a reasonable price, partly because they are now out of production but still very popular. Here is an informative Wikipedia...

This showed up recently on the Monoprice site: Active RedMere HDMI Cables The cables still have a TBD ETA, but at least they are now listed. $67 for a 50 foot active cable that supports 4k video resolution bandwidths seems like a great deal-hopefully they will be in stock sometime soon.

The 2X factor is the referred to as the Nyquist rate, a key design rule for digital signal processing system: Nyquist rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Note that this is typically used as the minimum required rate, but many digital communications systems exceed that rate if other factors...

Abelton is just a tool, like Logic or Pro Tools-the effectiveness is determined by the user of the tool and his/her expertise with the tool and its application.

I've got one of each, and the ATV (2) is the clear leader relative to utility. The Roku feels like a marketing tool of the services that are compatible with it, which could also be said for the ATV (ie, an Apple marketing vehicle), but at least the ATV2 will play back audio and video source...

I have two-I use one ATV2 with a JVC DLA-HD250 projector (with a Yamaha RX-A3000 in between) and the other with a Panasonic ST30 plasma (with a Denon 3808 receiver as the video switch), and both work perfectly with the HDMI output of the ATV2 and look pretty good for a 720p source (depending on...
