I have used both a Levinson #36, Proceed AVP and now a Proceed AVP2. I preferred the #36 over the AVP but the new AVP2 is definitely awesome. Noticably better than the original AVP and I'd say better than the #36 as well.
Kevin, There have been some discussions on this topic over at the chesky forum ( makers of DAD discs ). I believe you need to make "vob" files from an avi stream with 96/24 audio track. In essence it is a slide show with the 96/24 audio track. You'll need some sort of video editing...
Alan, I've thought long and hard about this and I still don't have an answer! I use my system as 80% music 20% HT. I don't have rear side channels set up or rear center and don't really have a desire to do so. Don't know if I really wanted to add the extra channels and amplification...
All,
The "1" and only choice it came up with was the
correct one. I was surprised at this as well thinking
many more choices would fit the criteria of just those
two parameters.
Most of my cdr burns are compilations of 14 to 20
tracks using up the whole disc, but its...
Anyone,
I transferred an lp to cdr over the weekend,
popped it in my laptop at work today (MusicMatch)
and a pop up window tells me the closest it can
find for this cd from CDDB is Judas Priest -
Unleased In The East. Yes that was the lp, but
how did CDDB know?? In the past...
Anything by Les Dudek. Les released some amazing
solo material between '76 and '81. If you are into
classic rock, you need to check him out. Also has a
great supporting cast (session players).

I've never seen this, but I'm running all sources
through a Meridian 518 first, reclocking the stream.
It does take a second or two to lock on as I channel
surf through the Sat dish. I am still running the
original software from purchase. Never saw the need
to upgrade yet. Don't...
Kevin,
I originally had 2ce as my fronts and when I
upgraded to 3A Sig's I put the 2's in the rear.
Mine sounds fantastic. I'm not convinced you need
speakers every three or four feet in your room in
order to convey realism. What are we up to now,
7.1???? There isn't...
This has been my exact experience. My signal
is 96%, yet the NFL ticket channels are really
a mess. I have two receivers, the Dolby Digital
one in my HT room with a Panasonic ct34wx50, the
extra in the family room with a 10 year old Zenith.
The Zenith looks better!!

127 miles per hour!! More impressive is that I
did it in 10.47 seconds in my '69 Z drag car.

How about the new Monster AVS 2000? It claims
to provide constant voltage @ 120. It this a viable
option to the PS Audio? It's more money but will
allow you to connect front end as well as amps.
opinions??

Scott,
Don't take that the wrong way, they can play loud,
but they are not P.A. speakers. I believe the speaker
efficiency is 86 or 87db and most important the
design is a first order cross-over. First order
cross-overs keep the music "in-phase", that's one
of the reasons I...
Scott,
The speakers do present a deep and wide soundstage.
They really disappear in the room. They are very
detailed in presentation, bringing the subtle sounds
and noises of a soundtrack that give you that you
that "you are there" feeling. Isn't that the object
of HT? Now...
I originally ran Vandersteen 2ce's as my front
speakers with 2 2w subs. I have since upgraded
to the 3A Sig and moved the 2's to the rears.
The subs are currently idle, but I'm thinking
about getting the model 5 cross-over and connecting
the 2W's with the 3A's Sig's. My dealer...
Some of my reference standards are:
Marcus Miller - The Sun Don't Lie, Jazz, Fusion
Robben Ford - And the Blue Line, Jazzy Electric Blues
Lyle Lovett - Joshua Judges Ruth, Country, Delta
Les Dudek - Les Dudek, Japan Import, Classic Rock
Joe Satriani - Surfin' With The Alien, MFSL...
Paul,
SCMS may be your main concern, I don't know.
If your MD's were made from Digital sources you
won't be able to make a CDr from it digitally.
That being you'll need a deck with a good A to D
section.
Features to look for:
SCMS control
Digital Volume control...
