    What does everyone think of their Grease DVD's ?

    I almost always agree with Ron's reviews but in this case I don't. I think the video quality is subpar even for a 70's film. I am watching it projected to 120" so perhaps the defects are more glaring. The transfer is soft and undefined, grainy and generally not pleasing to look at. I also have...

    Recommendations for properly mixed SACD and DVD-A

    I totally agree with David. The Stereo version has been around for years. Lets try a fresh, aggressive new surround mix to breath new life into some old favorites. I LOVE the Queen disc. I've heard that LP countless times but after hearing the DVD-A it was like it was brand new! I listened to it...

    What is the best sounding DVD-A player

    I purchased my 9200 from Ubid and had it on my doorstep in three days. Factory sealed box with all warranty info iside. No problems, GREAT sound.

    Is there a CD player that won't hurt my ears?

    Try the Toshiba SD-9200 DVD player. The price has come down from $2000 to a low of about $550-$750. The 9200 has a very sweet sound and is very forgiving of bright CD's. Stereophile has it as a class A unit. Check out the review at their website. It also excels at DVD-Audio and video. A true...

    I love SACD and DVD-Audio, but wow, I've been buying a lot of CDs lately!

    Yeah, I've been buying a bunch of vinyl lately too! I bought all of the Classic Records Led Zeppelin LP's but I find them to be lacking in the low end. Just doesn't have that strong bass. Perhaps I've just been used to listening to Led Zep as a kid with the EQ turned up! Keith, Go buy that...

    "A Night At The Opera" DVD-A pushed back??

    I picked this up today after driving all over the place trying to find it in stock. I think retailers underestimated the demand for this title. After all, DTS has been advertising it since last August. It was sold out everywhere. So, as a last resort, I walk into Best Buy in Totowa and I walk...

    Ok, Who's into Tubes?

    Phil, 10 watts will be plenty if you use Klipsh speakers. They are VERY efficient. Haven't heard of anyone with a 5.1 tube amp. Bet it would be cool1

    Ok, Who's into Tubes?

    Phil, I was thinking of doing a 5.1 tube setup "on-the-cheap". Antique Audio has 10 watt/ch all-tube mono-blocks for the insane price of $99.00 each. Pair 5 of these up with a Sony 9000 series analog 5.1 pre-amp and 5 Klipsh speakers and a decent powered sub and you could have a nice tube...

    Ok, Who's into Tubes?

    Keith, Actually, The cart is pre-installed at the factory on all Music Halls. You don't need any special tools to set the anti-skate or tracking weight as the table is calibrated by putting the counter-weight on the rear of the arm and adjusting it back and forth unit the arm "floats"...

    Ok, Who's into Tubes?

    Keith, The best deal I have found on the Music Hall turntables are at DECIBEL.com. The MMF-5 is $425 and the MMF-7 is $849. The service was excellent and they were on my doorstep within 4 days. They charge actual shipping costs and double-box everything. Highly recomended! They both sound...

    Lee, See my post above, I'm using Dynaco and HK components.

    Ok, Who's into Tubes?

    Keith, I think the ticket for a turntable for that tube gear is either the Music Hall MMF-5 or MMF-7 turntables. I have both (one for the tube gear and one in my multichannel system) and they are hard to fault. The carts that they come with sound very sweet and detailed and will make that amp sing!

    Ok, Who's into Tubes?

    Keith, You lucky dog! That Marantz stuff is highly prized and worth a bunch of $. If they are in good tune, they will sound awesome. I using a Dynaco PAS-4 (90's reissue) tube Pre-amp and a vintage 1963 Harmon Kardon Citation amp. I alo have a HK tube tuner. CD's sound very good but LP's...

    Opinions on the quality of import Vinyl

    I was browsing in my local CD world and they have a pretty decent selection of current Vinyl LP reissues. Most were from the UK. How good are the "Simply Vinyl" brand of reissues? They had some big titles such as "Tommy" and "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road". Do they use the original master? Are...

    What's the most you ever paid for a CD?

    I have both Wilbury's on LP (vinyl) and they sound excellent. I recorded them to CDR for auto use.

    I'm a believer! Lp's really do sound better!

    Let's face it, CD's are much more convenient and more durable, easier to carry and for non-critical listening, sound pretty good. Vinyl, on the other hand, damages quickly, can't be played in a car, requires pretty good equipment to sound good and gets dirty. BUT, there is something about...

    Great Live Albums

    I'll probably get some flack for this but, I still really like "Frampton Comes Alive" I love his version of "Jumping Jack Flash". I also dig "Kiss Alive", Pink Floyd "Pulse", and Elvis' "Alternate Aloha" for his awesome version of James Taylor's "Steamroller" About "At Fillmore East" DTS, It...

    I'm a believer! Lp's really do sound better!

    Bass feedback is a non-issue if you have a turntable with a good isolation system. The Thorens I am using has a split-plith design with the tonearm on one and the rest of the turntable on the other. I can turn it up as loud as I want and get NO feedback at all. The Music Hall turntables have a...

    I'm a believer! Lp's really do sound better!

    To answer a previous question, I have found that Cd's that I make fron LP's tp a Pioneer Pdr-99 stand-alone recorder sound about 80-85% as good as the LP it came from. It lacks some of the presence or "air" of the original, but still sounds better to me than the commercial CD. For example, I...

    I'm a believer! Lp's really do sound better!

    I have a large LP collection that I have had for years. I re-bought most of my favorites on CD's over the years and almost forgot about my LP's until I came across an HK Citation 1 Tube amp (early 60's) and set up a dedicated 2 channel system away from my home theater. So, I dragged out the old...

    Moving coil cartridge help

    Thanks for the help! I wanted to use the tubed phono section of a PAS-4 Dynaco Pre-amp with a moving coil cart. I'll look into a phono "pre-amp".

    Moving coil cartridge help

    Is there anyway to step-up the gain on a moving coil cartridge without buying a new phono pre-amp? Can a "line amplifier" be used between the turntable and pre-amp? Any other suggestions?

    Burning CD's from Vinyl?

    I'm halfway through recording the Mobile Fidelity Beatles Boxset onto CD. I'm getting outstanding results using a stand-alone Pioneer recorder PDR-99. I'm amazed at the results. They sound better then the commercial CD's!
