    America The Beautiful

    Robert Sabuda's visual interpretation of the song is among the most extraordinary pop-up books ever made (and meant for adults, kids would have it torn up in no time.)

    Piano players/singers.

    In that case, you would enjoy a DVD that I have. EWF live on a double-bill with Chicago.

    NAD C715 and TEAC CR-H227i-B Same thing??

    It is only if I hear an improvement compared to the Onkyo that it will matter anyway, and I will be pleasantly surprised if that is the case. More likely, I will be re-selling both Carver components on ebay. (Or here.)

    Definitive Technology V.S. Klepsch

    I love Def Tech and hate Klipsch (because I find them excessively bright and harsh.) Just my $0.02.:)

    NAD C715 and TEAC CR-H227i-B Same thing??

    It might if I could get codes for it. Carver corp. is gone, and it was made in 1986. Remote.com is happy to sell me one, but not to provide the codes for free.

    NAD C715 and TEAC CR-H227i-B Same thing??

    My carver CD player has been delivered. Tonight, I will be A/Bing it combined with my Carver amp against the Onkyo unit. Should be interesting. (One negative: the CDP is missing the remote, which is quite inconvenient. A replacement would cost almost as much as I paid for the player itself.)

    Is your Bonus check going into your system?

    So when are we supposed to be getting these checks?

    Anyone know Bohlender-Graebener...

    They make some of the most beautiful speakers I have seen. No clue how they sound. Probably massively expensive.

    Simaudio Moon CD-1

    There was a high-end CD player round up in this month's HiFi news. One that cost $13000 only scored 75%, and the highest score in the test was 80%. For that kind of money, they should d**n well all score at least 98%!:eek:

    Disappointed with Blu-Ray

    It may well be that SD vs BD makes a bigger difference on fixed-pixel displays. These remain, however, inferior to direct-view CRT in terms of overall PQ. In fact, the reason I have held off on buying a flat-panel this long is that none of them so far can compete with my tube. Black levels, in...

    Real Life Bi-Amplification: Some considerations

    Considering that a low-powered amp is more than enough for my speakers, I cannot imagine that the extra power from bi-amping would have any advantages whatsoever.:confused:

    NAD C715 and TEAC CR-H227i-B Same thing??

    It was enough of a stretch for me to buy mine open-box. The only way I will buy used is if the item is not available any other way (as is the case, for example, with the Carver CD player I will be receiving this week.)

    Bi-amping LPA

    Considering that I just went from 100 watts/ch to 14 watts/ch with no loss in any area of SQ and gains in some areas, I am highly sceptical of the value of more power, regardless of how it is obtained.:cool:

    Disappointed with Blu-Ray

    How is what I own in any way relevant? I have seen the in-store demos. Also, I have had a high-definition tube TV for close to 6 years now.

    B&W or Canton Karats

    Wow, I haven't seen the Canton name in decades. Glad they are still in business.

    Voting On Tuesday ?

    I did postulate an idea that would definitely help things in this country tremendously: Stop the war. Immediately.:cool:

    Denon sound is too pitchy, fix?

    What the heck is "pitchy"?:confused: I thought I had heard all the audio terminology, but that one is new to me.

    NAD C715 and TEAC CR-H227i-B Same thing??

    There is also a Denon that comes with speakers that look for all the world like Mordaunt-Shorts.

    User Name -please explain

    And here I thought it meant "Seth is Love".:D

    Voting On Tuesday ?

    At the moment, the Shrub administration is continuing to hemhorrage money into a pointless war that has precisely nothing to do with defense, maintaining sovereignty, or preventing the enemy from "walking through the gate". This war is the root cause of the current economic problems, and is of...
