I did not know that Yes had a bad album. As they are coming on tour this summer I would advise all to go and see them. As a vinyl junkie, I can say that the CD version is a little harsh compared to vinyl. Of course Live at the House of Blues sounds way better than vinyl on DVD. Cheers.

I would like to see some of these so called musicians transpose treble clef into bass clef, or take a Bb trumpet and play Eb trumpet score only transposing in his head while one plays. As a player,transcriber and composer I can say that is part of a classical music education. Of course this was...

Skitch Henderson and the Tonight Show Orchestra album "Mame" Now that was some great music. Or how bout Ray Stevens? Ahab the Arab, bet that won't get played on radio. Frank Zappa had some pretty wild songs. Bobby Brown, Catholic Girls and Big Leg Emma. Anyone remember Kraftwerk? Or Triumvirat...

When I bought my speakers in 79 I had no idea that they will be used for HT. Klipsch Cornwalls and Heresy's. At least the finish is Oak that sort of matches the furniture. But unfortunately they sort of dominate the room, no hiding these babies. Cheers.

I would check out Fry's. They have the Onkyo TX-DS989ver2 which is THX Ultra 2 for $999. This is a 2 year old design but will do everything you want. Software upgradable,Zone 2, pre-amp out,7 channels x130 etc. Go to their website and see where there is one located. They had one here in Houston...

I would check out Fry's. They usually buy overstocked items and have decent prices. I think they had that rcvr. for 1599. which is pretty good as it was 2500 brand new. Cheers

Best episode yet. And for all the bashers, why do you still watch? I thin B&B have finally gotten the message that people were just not watching the show. I think by taking this series into a serial mode aka 24 would be a good idea. At least try something different,anything that would bring...

Daniel I used the speaker out from the reciever to the sub and then ran the cable to the center. It provides a fuller sound because you can set your center to large and let the sub do the bandpass to the center. I ran dual pairs of speaker cable from the reciever to the L and R of the sub. Then...

I hooked it to my center channel. Way big improvement on dialog. I would recommend this to anyone. I am thinking now to run a small sub to all 4 of the surround speakers but will have to get a WAF now. Doubt it will happen but nice thinking about.

I thought I would like MP3 when it came out so I could compress my collection. After various attempts at different bit rates I found that with my headphones I could tell the difference no matter what rate I used. But when I used the speakers in the 2 channel system the only noticable difference...

In order to get a 3dB sound increase you will have to find out the efficiency of your speakers and determine if going 25 watts more power is going to make a difference. If your speakers have an efficiency rating of 90dB/1 watt/1 meter then you will not have much of a difference. You would have...

Amp-Grommes Tube 35wpc Pre-amp Onkyo TX-DS797B TT Thorens TD-125MkII Mains Klipsch Heresy 78 Sub Klipsch SW15 Although these are somewhat an oldfashioned horn speaker I must convey that they have a wide soundstage and incredible clarity. On piano it sounds like it is right there in the...

I have Klipsch Heresy's from 78 with a KV2 and it works pretty well. I use the KV1.2 for the surrounds and have been experimenting with another KV2 for the back surround. I would go with the SVS,Hsu or maybe Velodyne for the sub. I run an Onkyo TX-DS797B for the surround system and it has...

Grommes tubes 25x2

I think maybe the B&B are finally getting the message that they need to do something to make this show interesting. The last 2 episodes were actually fun to watch without wondering why. Just pure unadultered sci-fi. Well maybe just a little help would make it better. Hopefully it will continue...

Finally an episode worth talking about. How about having the Andorians finally having their battle with the Vulcans with the Federation coming to the bargaining table and proposing peace. Now that the Xindi know the Andorians have stole the weapon they will try to take on them as well. When...

Warrenty and discounts are what you should make sure the dealer authorizes before the sale. Get it in writing and you should be safe. Cheers.

I have the Onkyo TX-DS797B and have had great results with it. Both are very good for the money and it just matters how much kit you will be hooking up to it. Check out all of the inputs and outputs and then decide for upgradeability. Does the rcvr have pre-amp ins and outs? That is how I would...

I have the TX-DS797B which is the year before. Could not be happier. I use tubes for the main 2 channels in stereo. Of course the wish list would be to go Conrad-Johnson for all 7 channels but that will have to wait for funding.

I've had this for awhile and it is a different area they are going into. Totally different from their previous 2 outings. Just go to there shows and see what they can do live. The last 4 I have seen have been fantastic. Can't really complain as this is what I like and look forward to seeing them...

Did you get the new "Rush in Rio"? Or the 3 cd of the concert? It is pretty good for the die hard fans. Can't wait for the new tour. Saw them in '78 and have not missed a chance to see them when they come around. Cheers.

Craig S has it right. Here in Houston we have Imax and they show first run movies there. I enjoy going out in public and like the experience of watching a movie, going out for a late night snack. I think people spend to much time being isolated at home and not interacting with our fellow human...

PCM is not what you want coming from your DVD unless you just want 24/96. You need to see what other output is in your menu system.

I thought it was way better than the first series. It had a little edge to it. With the way scifi is going these days it was sort of nice to see people actually afraid. When I saw the first series I just did not get the comedy with the tragedy spin. It's not the Bard guys. I generally take...

If you can, get the MOFI vinyl or cd of this.

It is not that bad as I have watched this twice and really enjoyed the whole concert. It is a lot better than the LD of Exit Stage Left or the tape of A show of hands I have. I am sure that they will do the next one correctly as from the complaints they have recieved. Just a note to say who...

This band has always been at the forefront of prog rock. They have always been way ahead of what their peers have tried. No one is even close to what these guys can do. Liquid Tension Experiment is as close to what we can claim as a prog rock ultimate band. There have been others such as Return...

I have an Onkyo TX-DS797 and have not been dissapointed with it. It has all the features and enough power for a HT. It even sounds good in plain ol stereo. If you can buy as much as your budget will allow. Those are okay prices as you can get better deals through the internet. Here at the local...
