    The Ethics of Product Review

    It also gives the reviewer time (or the option) to include a rebutle from the manufacturer. Whether that rebutle be simply thanking the reviewer for a positive review or trying to explain aspects that were frowned upon. Although not particulary common in reviews, I think its a good addition...

    Just a tip - You'll get more help at Remote Central

    Well since this is the internet, you should grow accustomed to various resources of information. I mean we got DIYAudio, StereoReview, AVSForum, AudioAsylum, DIYsubwoofer.org all of which have flourishing forums. It doesn't make any of them better, and each one has its own style and...

    Building a new home...

    I too am having a house built right now. Although I didn't have any "audio" specific wiring done, I did have CAT5 outlets placed in various rooms. This way I can have MP3 servers (such as the AudioTron in the reviews section). But it also allows me to have computers (or any other future...

    Cable or Satellite?

    I have cable, mostly because I have cable internet. It's ok. I don't see nearly the pixelation my parents have on their DSS. But DSS seams to have much better remote and guide (But I think Cable boxes vary around the country...since most are weird cable brands and not like Sony or something)...

    Turtle Beach AudioTron MP3 Server

    What do you mean about the RCA outputs? Like their not chassis mount and bend alot? Or just bad signal transfer? Have you played 320Kbps MP3's on them? I've backed up most of my CD's at 320. "Decent quality over TOS" What does this mean? TOS = the other stuff?

    Magnepan MMG

    I think these are by far one of the best values in Hi-Fi audio. I'll give my general review, but also checkout the reviews over at AudioReview, these things have a 4.68/5 out of 233 reviews. I have had these speakers for about 4 years now and I still love them. They use a mylar film...

    Fed Up with FM Programming

    What would you rather hear at the grocery store? Rap? Well I don't know what the fuss is all about. We have 107.5 KOAI (an Oasis channel) here in Dallas/Ft. Worth, and I like most of the music they play. Especially on Sunday night, they have Musical Starstreams which is ambiant/electronic...

    "The Way The Music Died"

    Yes, but if the quality of that one song is good, then it is worth it. If your "one hit" is still played frequently on the radio 10-20 years or more later, then it made its impact on life. But I still stand by the fact that the style of todays music is what sucks. Look at how super huge...

    "The Way The Music Died"

    And this is exactly why I think the RIAA is crazy. This the best way of discovering music. I mean the radio only plays so much stuff. If you want to discover the other 95% of the music out there, your gonna have to "steal" a little. I mean how else would I hear about someone like Vangelis or...

    "The Way The Music Died"

    I guess the thing that really irks me about the current state of the Audio Industry is the blatent lack of song writers/singers. I know song writers have always been behind the scenes, but at least then I thought the singer was actually singing something special. But now reading through...

    Qualities of an Exceptional Amp

    Magnepan MMG's driven by a 35 Watt Monarchy Audio SM-75, never heard it clip before. However consider that the MMG's don't go that low in bass, thus lowering the power requirments. But also consider that they have a sensitivity of like 84db. So just imagine a "normal" speaker with a...

    Ultra Disc blank CD-R's

    Guess you never bought a $30 MSFL CD when they actually made discs :eek: I'm suprised to see MFSL as they went out of business like in 98 or 99. I guess they think $3 blanks are more likely to sell than $30 CD's. The only thing that really made MFSL discs better to me was the remixes...

    Mech Warrior 2 Soundtrack

    Hey if you ever see the Mech Warrior 2 game, the CD itself has CD Audio of the game music. I think its pretty cool electronic music, although they are short at about 2:30 average, but there's like 20 songs on there. I'll see if I can't rip some clips, so you can get an idea. The...

    Movies / Music for evaluating speakers

    Star Wars Episode 1 Phantom Menace on Laserdisc....pod scene in particular....very dynamic Vangelis (mostly "Oceanic" and "Themes")...The End Theme To The Bounty, actually got me into home audio, as I wanted a stereo that could play that song without distorting the top end or bottoming out...

    Speakers; When is good enough, enough

    My standard is that any speakers I build cannot sound better than my Magnepan MMG's...that way I don't replace them :D But seriously I will, replace my MMG's with the 1.6QR's eventually (maybe Christmas) , and then I will probably not replace those for a very long time. There only $1500...
