    Analog sound: Real or myth?

    MDS, Can you sum up in a few paragraphs a little information on compression? Or direct me to a thread or webpage I can educate myself? I believe compression to be something that reduces the volume peaks in audio. Where does the compression take place? The original multi track recording...

    Analog sound: Real or myth?

    Pluck, It is my opinion that...(place this at the beginning of each paragraph below...please). While being into this hobby for about 4 years, I have had a similar issue listening to CD's and wondered about the whole analog/digital thing. What dispels this myth in my mind is that I do have...

    Old CD players 80's to early 90's Thread.

    you guys have to be kidding.... I have an old Yamaha DVD-750 from way back in 2005...but it is in my back yard on the ground right where I threw it up against a tree... I'm definitely not cutout for this hobby...

    DVD Player took a dump...

    now we're getting somewhere... Well, I bought a new DVD player (see my signature). It fried in 7 days. Actually, right out of the box I had to unplug the unit and plug it back in to get it to power up out of standby. After that it would work. The next day you would have to unplug it and...

    DVD Player took a dump...

    Thanks for the reply, Mort. I did a little investigation and I think you are right. The Oppo DV-970HD sounds like it is for me. Unfortunately my 400$ Denon receiver does not have HDMI or DVI inputs or outputs. My Samsung Plasma (HP-R4252 with slight Fox World Series Game 1 Screen burn -...

    DVD Player took a dump...

    Well I bought the Yamaha... Then in August 2006 the drawer stops opening and it is making a funny noise. I get the drawer open and a little, teeny, tiny pulley is melted. Damn. I call the Yamah dealer that sold it to me and they send me to the local docal yamaha certified service center...

    Pioneer DVD vs Yamaha

    I may be able to help...my panasonic f85 took a dump about a month ago (error code h01...too much to fix) and I was really leary about buying anything expensive. I bought the yamaha dvd-c750 for $300 and I am now listening to my old redbook CD's that Iwas going to throw out. HUGE difference...

    DVD Player took a dump...

    Well, I bought the Yamaha. If it wasn't for the review I probably would have never thought about it. My review after 2 days: 1. I don't think I have figured out the sub-woofer during DVD-Audio. It's working but not as loud or powerful, it seems, as the old panasonic. I'm running the...

    Rock and Digital Audio

    Since I am going on 14 months as a novice audiophile I have been looking for someone who agrees with this statement: Distorted Rock Guitars (or overdriven Hammond Organs) do not translate through Digital Media. Am I nuts (I know i am not) but doesn't anybody remember what Rock sounded like...

    DVD Player took a dump...

    to fix...or not to fix...that is my question. I am getting an H01 error code on my DVD player and then it abruptly shuts off; an alignment issue if I am to believe my fellow Panasonic internet brothers. I paid $140 about 14 months ago and I think it will probably cost between 50 and 100...
