All, Is the general consensus that Blu-Ray was prematurely launched? I mean, all the issues everyone is having, seems like it's not yet ready for primetime. I don't recall this kind of misstep with DVD's launch. The first titles weren't the best, but at least it was a real launch with plenty of...

One of my newer favorites is Peter Gabriel's UP. Very good use of M/C and bass that can loosen fillings. Great music. Tim

These.

These are all good things to know. Thanks guys. Tim

Lee, Do you have any more info about the Sailing disc? That would definitely be a double-dipper for me. Thanks.

Thanks Danny & Brian for the info. New music is on the way. :) Tim

Boy, this gets me thinking. Hard to pick just three. Fragile - Sting. A beautiful song off a great album. It showed me how wonderful and moving a simple song can be. Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Tallis - Ralph Vaughan Williams. I stumbled onto this song during a music course in...

Thanks for the responses. I found some info at that site. It seems the sound quality is hit or miss on most of the tracks. No one had a breakdown of which were good or bad, which didn't help. I may pick up the Ultimate collection and find out for myself. It sounds like a great group of songs...

Still looking for any feedback. Thanks, Tim

I was wandering if anyone had first hand(ear?) experience with some of the more recent Four Tops remasters. The greatest hits CD I have is several years old and has a very harsh, sizzling sound. Have the recent releases been done from the original master tapes? Or just a re-EQ'd version of the...

Trevor, That's pretty funny!!! Badwill. Anyway, I'll probably just toss it. It's a shame to have such disposable electronics these days. Thanks for the response. Tim

I took a dead Kenwood DVD player off a coworker's hands, thinking I could fix it. It was the victim of a lightning strike. Well, so far no luck. I'm getting power thru the fuse and it seems to a lot of components inside. But, it will not go into standby or power on, even though I'm getting power...

Kevin, I don't know if that's the song Brian is looking for, but I'm glad you mentioned it. I haven't heard that song in ages. It brings back fond MTV memories, when they actually played videos. I'll have to download it when I get a chance. Thanks. Tim

Andy, I checked out that Russound. It looks like it will work. I'll try to find one online, hopefully from somewhere with a good return policy in case it doesn't work. Thanks for the tip. Still seems strange that Pioneer wouldn't have made one of these. Tim

Jon, Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention that I already use the pyramids for control from two zones. However, it only controls the master volume when the receiver is on and powering the speakers as A/B. It doesn't work with the multi-zone, multi-function (receiver off - multi-room on)...

I'm trying to find an IR receiver used specifically for the multi-room function on Pioneer receivers. The model # is MR-100. It plugs into the back of the receiver for remote control from the zone 2 room. I've looked on Ebay, Pioneers website, Onecall.com J&R and Parts Express. So far no joy...

Off the top of my head: Symphonic: Vaughn Williams - Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Tallis (Nimbus Records) Pop/Rock/Whatever: Dire Straits - On Every Street Both seem to end up in the player more often than others. Tim

Nice thread:D

I'll have to check that out also. Tim

David, I received my disc. Sounds great, thanks. The first track from Insane Clown Posse is pretty interesting. I'm not much of a rap fan (or whatever category they would fit into), but it's good to hear artists getting creative with all the channels available. The other tracks sound incredible...

Michael, I have read that raising the sub can improve overall response. However, what the article specified was approx. half the height of the room. I don't know about you, but I doubt my wife(or I) would like a big box/tube elevated THAT much. But I would think you could experiment with some...

Michael, I think Richard gave a lot of good advise. Something I remember from SGHT mag a few years ago was talk of a platform for the seating area. Basically a large flat box completely sealed that acts like a drum. I don't know if it would act the same as a bass trap, but it gives you a...

Thanks for the replys, guys. I'm going to do more troubleshooting when I get a chance. Mike, How did you get rid of your ground loop problem? Or did you? Thanks again. Tim

Shortly after setting up my new Pioneer 45TX, my wife was watching TV/SAT. I wasn't home at the time, but she described it as "chirping sound coming from the speakers". Now before you think it's a problem with the receiver, get this....the power was off. First let me explain how everything is...

Jack, You can get one from here , but $65.00 seems like a lot. I'm still debating it, but I'll try it with my meter first and see how impressed I am. If I'm underwhelmed, then I'll take the plunge. Tim

As listed below. Soon to be an Infinity IL120 sub added :emoji_thumbsup: .

Matt, Thanks for the info. I don't actually have the sub yet, it's in transit. I bought it used on ebay. Should be here next week:D . Tim

Jack, Man, don't rain on my parade;) . I'm really looking forward to using this kit. I'll try my meter and listen for improvements. Hopefully there will be. I'll post my findings. Phil or anyone w/kit. What about the adjustment tool. Can I use something else - screwdriver, allen wrench...

Great. Thanks. Tim
