    great place to find dvda audio discs

    Check out the AIX Records website. They've been an advocate of DVD-A and other hi-rez formats for a long time. I think they've switched to BluRay lately, since the other multichannel formats have been largely abandoned.:confused:

    High quality sound albums

    Do yourself a favor and take a look at the recordings from AIX. The guy who is the proprietor, Mark Waldrep is a genuine SQ junkie, I'd say in the same league as TLS Guy, and has been putting out stunning recordings for many years. One of my favorites is "Guitar Noir" by Laurence Juber (on...

    Jeff Beck and Imelda May

    I Got this BluRay last night. If you like rockabilly and the Les Paul/ Mary Ford era stuff, this is a real gem - I put it right up there with Jeff's Live at Ronnie Scotts concert. You Metalheads might not go for this stuff, but I saw a couple of the Metallica guys in the audience.:cool:

    Your first stereo

    Since I appear a bit more 'experienced' than many of you, I'll share my first. In 1956, when I was 12, my parents bought me a Sears & Roebuck phonograph, which consisted of a cloth-covered cardboard/plywood box with a metal turntable and a speaker. A fella named "Elvis Presley" had just come...

    Tom Petty's "Mojo" (new album) to be released on Blu-ray (audio)

    I'm not a huge TP fan, either, but the BD did have great sound. I'm looking forward to a lot more Multichannel BD audio discs, since DVD-A and SACD (except Classical & Jazz) are pretty much a thing of the past.

    Where to find Dvd-A and dts cd

    Try AIX records. The owner is a real fanatic on Multichannel DVD-A, and offers a big selection of beautifully recorded performances in rock, pop, jazz, classical, bluegrass/folk. Makes me glad I invested in a nice multichannel system. Decent prices, too.:cool:

    Ditching Dish for OTA? You bet!

    I've had Dish for several years, and am about to switch to ATT U-Verse for everything. I'll agree that my local OTA stations look better than Dish, but not dramatically so. I just can't live without some of the cable channels, though, (Discovery, NatGeo, Paladia, etc.) I didn't think TIVO was...

    Classic Records Sold to Acoustic Sounds

    I've been a customer of Acoustic Sounds for some time, but I always wanted to ask them this: "What other kind of sound is there":rolleyes:

    Best Place To Buy Denon Electronics?

    Dakmart has some pretty good deals on refurbs, plus they're an authorized dealer.

    Once again: what are you listening to now?

    Jimi Hendrix "Valleys of Neptune" Hey, the guy's been dead for 40 years, but this CD is a mostly enjoyable visit to days gone bye. The rendition of Red House and Fire are great alternates to the versions we all knew. Makes me want to whip out my tie-dyes and bong. Oh, wait, I can't remember...

    Ipod touch

    I use iTunes and Apple Lossless encoding. Depending on your degree of pickiness, the sound quality of iTunes' "highest quality Variable Bitrate" is pretty much indistinguishable from the lossless, and takes considerably less disc space. I guess it depends on how many CDs you want to rip, and...

    Avatar BD Review

    For God's Sake, guys, whadda ya complaining about...you got machine gun fire, spaceships, monster explosions, snarling wild animals, and a 10-foot tall blue chick riding a flying dragon wearing nothing but a loin cloth. What more could a guy want? - Shakespeare? - deep social relevance? Of...

    Bands & artists that still care for good production/recording

    My personal favorites have always been anything by Steely Dan or Donald Fagen. Absolute perfectionists in the studio, makes me glad I invested in decent audio.:cool:

    Competition for Wave Radio/ CD Player ???

    I've had a Boston Acoustics Receptor radio for several years now. It doesn't pretent to be anything more than a tabletop clock radio, but the sound it puts out is surprisingly good. Cost around $150 at the time. Some of the better i-Pod docks have impressed me as well.

    This is gonna go over real well with the Chinese.

    Amen to that. Walmart, Harbor Freight, and similar companies have seduced a lot of Americans with their low prices (and usually poor quality), but what's the alternative? The Godless Commie Slavemasters have taken over a huge segment of manufacturing, and I don't see any viable competitors at...
