<font color='#000000'>have heard that many exotic CDP uses CD transport mechanisms intended for PCs. &nbsp;Another option is to get an excellent Rotel CDP or any good commercial CDP and mate it with an external DAC like those of &nbsp;Musical Fidelity or Delius. &nbsp;You may want to google...

<font color='#000000'>I just use a Y-RCA adapter to splt the receiver's mono sub signal into two subwoofers. &nbsp;Then another reverse Y-adapter to connect the mono signal into the stereo input of the subwoofer.</font>

<font color='#000000'>I've never had the experience of shielding the CRT of a TV, but I've heard that aluminum foils and tapes can do a good job of shielding speaker magnets. &nbsp;Wouldn't it be simpler and safer to shield the speakers than the TV? &nbsp;Just a thought, maybe lining the TV's...

<font color='#000000'>For me, what is good for music is always good for HT. &nbsp;The reverse isn't always true. &nbsp;I have a system that's excellent for music for which I can just go Stereo Mode thereby bypassing the surround processors and speakers. Ofcourse having separate set-ups is just...

<font color='#000000'>From my experience, I don't think one can go wrong with the Integra brand, especially if its among the top flagship models. &nbsp;Am not familiar with the speakers though I am most confident it can drive any commercial speakers out there. &nbsp;I understand &nbsp;Integra's...

<font color='#000000'>Just don't visit any B O S E showroom. &nbsp;The speakers are small and may even sound attractive for the size. &nbsp;(The showroom accoustics are &quot;sound engineered&quot; to make them sound attractive.) But they are overpriced for the performance they can deliver and...

<font color='#000000'>Check to see your speakers' lowest frequency limit, usually 40hz to 50Hz stated at the back of the cabinet as frequency range. &nbsp;This is just an indication. &nbsp;Speaker placement will have a bearing on whether you will hear them or not in your listening couch...

<font color='#000000'>Do you have an SPL meter?  Do you conduct a reading at a hall concert where you are seated, compared with a reading from your sweet spot at home? I've read on the net that at the podium a conductor receives as much as 140 db at full orchestral might. (Threshold of listeing...

<font color='#000000'>A serious headphone set-up requires a seaprate headphone amplifer. &nbsp;And yes, many consumer grade gears offer headphone jacks as some sort of an afterthought. &nbsp;In fact the more expensive amplifiers have no headphone jacks at all. &nbsp;That's based on the...

<font color='#000000'>No doubt about that Yamahaluver, I've seen a TV ad about a 10,000 watt HT system where cars and motorbikes get blown out of the road everytime they pass by the house playing one such gear.  Even the house is shown shaking while playing one. It may really be difficult...

<font color='#000000'>It would be a good idea to sound off some record labels or titles that are in this boat to protect us.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Ihave not been subscribing to Stereo Review and other speialty magazines for a long time. &nbsp;I remember Julian Hirsch and did enjoy many of this articles. &nbsp;Good thing his articles will live a lot longer. &nbsp; May I know who are the other famous and and respected...

<font color='#000000'>Nice article there. Just a few thoughts I wish to share. (1) &nbsp;These days, appreciating music has gone beyond having a &quot;Tower&quot; of players and equalizers and amps that you can only enjoy at home. &nbsp;It has become a MOBILE hobby. &nbsp;It started with those...

<font color='#000000'>I think that may be true, 20-bit to 24-bit recordings or mastering are common these days and they have been downconverted to 16-bit in the CD-format. &nbsp;Although some CDs called High-Definition CD or HDCD with 20-bit bit-depth are now being marketed but playable only in...

<font color='#000000'>My understanding is that the Pioneer 676A is a universal player that plays DVD-A and SACD.  To play these, you would need to connect the player's analog 5.1 output to the receiver's analog 5.1 input (that's RX-V1400, not RV-X1400, right?)  I am not sure if the DD/DTS audio...

<font color='#000000'>I too would prefer the separates route.  You may also want to consider the Harman Kardon Signature line of separate pre/pro/tuner and mutli-channel amp.  I think you can have them for much less than $2T.   I would invest in a very good set of stereo power amps, three for a...

<font color='#000000'>I know this chroma bug may not be visible, much less irritatingly visible as hinted in the site, especially on TV screens less than 25&quot;. &nbsp;But the issue does leave a rather unpalatable reputation for some manufacturers, especially those exotic and hi-priced names...
