    Lets TALK, TALK, TALK, DVD-A SACD

    <font color='#000000'>Hi Peter; I would classify her as Jazz with lumps &nbsp; You wont find her music on Smooth Jazz radio stations. &nbsp;I find her music to be melodic, non simplistic, with interesting lyrics to say the least. &nbsp;When her band kicks in, things really get interesting.</font>

    <font color='#000000'>Steve; That is some very interesting data, independent of our own findings. &nbsp;I wonder if the popping is a result of digital clipping in the processor now that the unit is being tasked to produce a broader frequency spectrum. &nbsp;After all we all noticed it sounded...

    <font color='#000000'>Audiouser; You make some excellent points and voice very good questions. &nbsp;Perhaps Yamaha will come on here when they have the time and answer some of your questions. As for profit margins between receivers and very esoteric high end separates, and sometimes over...
