    Pioneer 563A

    <font color='#000000'>I've owned this player since just after it came out. I wanted something that would do it all so I could decide whether or not to invest further in multi-channel audio discs. At this price it's nearly impossible to be unhappy with the perfomance, which was better than I...

    Line Conditioners, Power Strips

    <font color='#000000'>I've read in various places about benefits of line conditioners and in other places about the negative effects. I'm not sure what side to believe. Basically my dilemna is what to use between 7 Outlaw M-200 monoblocks, and the wall outlet. I was thinking of just using...

    DVD/Audio vs SACD

    <font color='#000000'>The thing that annoys me the most is that the retail chain's personnel don't even know where in the store the stuff even is, when they do carry it. I wouldn't expect them to understand it or what is needed for playback, but you think that could at least point you to the...

    Are we living in a digital world?

    <font color='#000000'>Convenience and preservation are the key reasons to move to digital medium. As long as analog is the reference by which we measure the digital interpretation, digital technology will suffer. 3:2 pulldown is not a perfect solution, and some other solutions do seem to be...

    Degradation of digital sources

    <font color='#000000'>I have experienced problems with CD-R discs that were used in my car. One hot day a few summer's back my car's CD player wouldn't load a disc. I took it out to inspect it and about 75% of the playing side was discolored a dark brown color. I think it was more from heat than...

Anyway I wouldn't agree...

    Yamaha speakers

    <font color='#000000'>I've seen more JBL monitors than Yamaha. Places like Abbey Road Studios, the Sydney Opera House and Skywalker ranch use JBL, even the studios I've worked in personally used them. I dunno maybe these places just liked them more.</font>

    Yamaha RX V1400 paired with Athena ASF2 and ASC1

    <font color='#000000'>Go to radio shack buy a spl meter, and turn you strereo up to your 0db level. Check the reading with the meter from your listening position. If it's a steady 110db plus then turn your volume down, take the meter back to the shack, get your money, and stop listening to your...

    Which has the best preamp section?

    <font color='#000000'>Yep it's a little older, but far from obsolete. I don't think it's replacement is yet in the works, but I'll be keeping and ear to the ground for any new info on it. I'm subscribed to their newsletter so hopefully next time around they'll mention something on it.</font>

    Which has the best preamp section?

    <font color='#000000'>Just wanted to thank everyone for their input. It was very helpful. As of now, I'm leaning toward the Outlaw 950 preamp. It has a lot of bang for the buck at $800. I can't justify the extra $700 dollars for the minimal improvement in quality I might receive from something...

    Which has the best preamp section?

    <font color='#000000'>I'm trying to find the cleanest preamp I can get on a receiver with the latest bells and whistles at $1500 msrp or less. Not concerned at all about the amp section, since I'll be using seperate amps...and of course the receiver will need 7.1 preouts. Also it doesn't have to...

    Am I correct?

    <font color='#000000'>I think you ask in jest, but there are a slew of receivers capable of a 4 ohm load bearing no THX logo. It's somewhat of a prestige thing, that adds its decoding capabilities, which aren't always appreciated as you'll see surfing around this forum.</font>

    What all do i need to hook up a subwoofer?

    <font color='#000000'>This really isn't the best place to ask about Car audio installation, I'd recommend SoundDomain.com for that....but since I'm a nice guy and you sound like you can really use some help I'll tell you what I know. The long of it: First thing you need to know is the power...

    OK, I need the final word! &nbsp;Please!

    <font color='#000000'>Often times the smaller models from the same manufacturer will actually sound better than the larger models in the same line because you're asking less of the speaker design. Speakers with a larger number of drivers are more difficult to get to sound accurately, so you will...
