    Favorite music related movies

    I recently started a similar topic on another site, and would like to get the AH membership's view. What are your favorite movies about or related to music? Just curious. There's a lot of really good flicks either about music or with music being a central element. My favorites, and these...

    Irked by snotty "Guest" posts

    This has been on my mind for awhile now: there are several threads with some trollish & inflamatory comments interjected by anonymous posters (ie "guests"). I really don't like this, and I'd like to see things changed so that only registered users can post. This would create some...

    Did you miss me? I'M BACK!

    At least for now. Really weird- for the last couple months I've been unable to access this site. I has some pro network admin friends checking my connection, I emailed the admin here, but nothing worked. Now, out of the blue, I can get on again! What up? Well, I can only hope I'm back *to...

    The "DVD:M" has arrived!

    <font color='#8D38C9'>I don't know just where to post this since there isn't a Software Forum, but it's just too big not to share with you guys. I've been using this software for awhile now and it's really amazing- check this out: DVD+Audio This software basically upsamples 16 bit PCM (ie...

    Holy Crap!  Someone better jump on this!

    <font color='#8D38C9'>This is a pretty amazing deal for someone in the market: amp @ onecall. &nbsp;That's not a huge amp, but with Power Steering and a fairly hefty PS it should suffice for most systems. Just wish they had the 125 wpc version, too.</font>

    Do CD-Rs sound better than the original CD?

    <font color='#8D38C9'>Does anyone have an opinion on this one? &nbsp;I know many, many audiophools that swear that a CD-R copy sounds better than the original. &nbsp;Especially when burned onto the infamous &quot;Black CD-R.&quot; &nbsp; I've seen lots of possible reasons for this, some...

    A Wicked Little Amp on the Cheap

    <font color='#8D38C9'>I just bought the neatest little amp (came last night in the latest load from UPS )- it's called the Griffin PoweWave.  This little gem is a 15/15 Watt digital amp (uses a Tripath chip) with both line, mic &amp; USB input.  It's sold mostly for computer use, but is also...

    Jane Monheit now on DVD-A

    <font color='#8D38C9'>I just bought two of Jane Monheit's album on DVD-A yesterday. &nbsp;The sound is fantastic and she has a beautiful voice. &nbsp;Very cool that Best Buy has the DVD-A for the same price as the CDs. &nbsp; Fans of jazzy-type female vocals should check this one out.</font>

    Avatars

    <font color='#8D38C9'>I'd really like to see the ability to upload Avatars from our PCs instead of linking to another site. &nbsp;Most forums allow this, and it does make it easier to navigate (I like having a picture attached to the name, even if it's an arbitrary little avatar image). Any...

    New Denon Receiver with Digital Amps

    <font color='#8D38C9'>I just saw a link to a British store selling the new Denon AVR770SD (I'm not having any luck getting the link to work, but you can see it by going to the Denon site and clicking on the UK region). &nbsp;Nice looking, all steel &amp; aluminum chassis with 6 x 100 watts of...

    Alison Krauss + Union Station, SACD Live

    <font color='#000000'>Fans of SACD really need to check this one out, absolutely reference sound, really well mixed, and a fantastic performance. &nbsp;Krauss is &quot;newgrass&quot;, a sort of pop/bluegrass mix. &nbsp;Some songs sorta veer into country, but not in a 'bad way&quot;. &nbsp; My...

    Rob vs Buyers Remorse

    <font color='#000000'>I've got a real dilemna here; my HT system is based on a Denon AVR-3802, and while I really like it, I'm a bit tired of it's lack of digital inputs (c'mon, 1 coax &amp; 3 toslink on a $1200 unit!?). &nbsp;Therefore I'd like to get an '03 or maybe even a 4802R. There's the...

    New Phillips Pronto Remote

    <font color='#000000'>Has anyone seen the new TSU500 Pronto Neo Universal Remote from Phillips? &nbsp;Very impressive looking unit; it looks like it keeps 90% of the features of the Pronto at just over half the price.

    The Ravenettes

    <font color='#000000'>Just wanted to give some ink/pixels to a cool band that just snuck under my radar. &nbsp;They're called the Ravenettes, and they're a two-piece group from Europe with an interesting sound. &nbsp;They're kinda retro, with an enormous, hugely distorted wall of sound over a...

    Bass Management on the Denon DVD 2900

    <font color='#000000'>I have a question/potential problem I'd like to run by the staff here. &nbsp;Today I purchased a Denon DVD-2200; yeah, I'd have loved to have the 2900, but I got a good price and I just couldn't really stretch my budget for the spendier one just now. &nbsp;At any rate, I...

    Sony HTB w/Digital Amps

    <font color='#000000'>Okay, has anyone had a chance to try one of these out? &nbsp;Sony makes two different one box, DVD/SACD/Recievers (the ADV-S50ES &amp; the ADV-C70ES: the former is a single disc while the latter sports a 5 disc changer). Now, the rumor is that these units, which feature a...

    Carver ZR amps

    <font color='#000000'>Anyone here ever listen to a ZR amp from Carver Professional? &nbsp;The amps use TriPath technology, and despite the pro amp exterior, the &quot;word on the street&quot; is that they're giant killer amps, comparable to just about anything out there. I know the party line...
