    Is the Rolling Stones "Hot Rocks" DSD really a SACD?

    Wow!...talk about a thread from the grave. Agreed, I have a few OOP SACD's that are worth a lot of money now. John G...we got our 2900's about the same time, mine bit the dust a few years back and I replaced it with an Oppo 103...it's just as silky. A little buggy for streaming, but all disc...

    Help me remember the name of this candy bar.

    It was a round candy in a silver wrapper. It was covered in milk chocolate and the center was nuget(sp?) and caramel with whole peanuts on the top only. Anyone remember?

    X-Files fans, got a question about the "Fight the Future" movie.

    I'm watching the entire series through NetFlix. I just finished the 5th season. Should I watch the movie before or after the 6th season?

    Looking for some spec info on the SVS TV-12 Ultra woofer

    Thanks for the feedback guys! Yeah' I kinda' thought SVS would be less than willing to part with that information so that's why I posted it here. But hey, guess it wouldn't hurt to email them, all they can say is "go pound sand". Robert_J, the Ultra I'm looking at does have the newer TV-12...

    Looking for some spec info on the SVS TV-12 Ultra woofer

    I’ve got an opportunity to buy a used 5 year old SVS PC-Ultra that has a blown BASH amp, CHEAP. I’m considering removing the TV-12 driver and building a custom sub box to house it in for my car. Anyone heard of anyone else doing this? Well, I’m looking for the following information: What’s...

    Help, need some advice on buying a used saxophone.

    I’m going tonight to look at a used Alto Sax for my 7th grader. The sax is a local Craig’s list offering. The pictures of the sax look promising, but I need some advice. Since I don’t play, I’m at a bit of a disadvantage here. Are there any specific things that I should be watching out for? Any...

    Joe Bonamassa's new CD is due out today, right?

    Ok...I picked it up yesterday at BB for $13.99. The two BB stores in my area both got a wopping, two copies in at each store. Obviously Bonamassa is an acquired taste. No blues to speak of on this one. Maybe Rock with a blues flavor, but that's it. I like it, but I would still rank Blues...

    Any Joe Bonamassa Fans ?

    If you like Bonamassa, you must get "Blues Deluxe"! It's one of his best and my favorite. Also, his concert DVD "New Day Yesterday Live" is outstanding. Enjoy!

    Calling all Jazz fans! Need some Chris Botti recommendations.

    I just bought tickets to see Diana Krall and Chris Botti. Well…actually I bought the tickets to see Diana Krall…and Chris Botti was a bonus. I want to buy a couple of his CD’s before I go see him but I’m almost completely unfamiliar with his work. The only time I’ve heard Botti play is on...

    Question about connecting another amp to the "Multiroom" out on my h/k AVR-525

    Worked like a charm and "source independence" is a non-issue. HTF comes through once again. Thanks again for the feedback Wayne and Mike!

    Question about connecting another amp to the "Multiroom" out on my h/k AVR-525

    Hmm...had no idea those connections would output other sources. I do have a "Tape Out", "Video 1" & "Video 2" available. Thanks for the tip Wayne, I'll try that this weekend.
