I was pleasantly surprised how smart this movie was....much more so than the previews led you to believe. Everyone was in fine form, with the exception of Steve Martin, who I thought was the weak link(IMHO). Unfortunately, the 2:10 showing today was very poorly attended.
Boy, after reading this thread, I am longing for the days of my suitcase style stereo with the fold down turntable and swing out, detachable speakers. I thought it sounded great in grammer school! Very, very informative thread, even though my eyes glazed over a few times.
Just hope that everything is fine with the set. They are extremely difficult to deal with if the merchandise does not perform as you think it should. Return is not in their vocabulary.
Ron, thanks. This is what I love about this forum:even when you think you know, you find out you don't. In the last year I found myself listening and worrying about the "numbers" and not the music. Thanks again for the reality slap. I should have mentioned that I have NHT2.5's in front, Audio...
Dave, thanks again. The manual does not state if the signal is down converted. In my original post I actually stated verbatium what was in the manual. I was hoping that someone here could give me the definitive answer. It seems to me that dvd-a and sacd were conceived in a half a##ed way. No...
Aaron and Dave, thanks for the replies, but please be patient, I just want to make sure I understand what is going on with my receiver. Am I correct in understanding that once I switch to the MULTI CH ADJ, the analog output of the player(96/24) is converted to a digital signal, manipulated for...
Dan,thanks for the reply. Now I am even more confused. I was under the assumption that the only way to get the 96 or the 192 output of the source material was through the analog outs of the player before it is down converted to 48/24. Are you saying that if I use the MULTI CH ADJ option, all...
I just got a new dvd player, the Marantz DV-12S1 hooked up to my 49TX. As an added bonus, it supports dvd-a. According to the Pioneer manual, if I select the MULTI CH IN ADJUST option, the receiver will apply the settings that I have for the surround sound setup. Will this solve the BM and Time...
I just picked up the disc at Borders. I am listening to it in DTS, I do not have a DVDA player. All I can say is that it sounds fantastic. Vocals are very distinct and "transparent". As John K stated it reminds me of Phil Spector's wall of sound mixes. Even if you do not own a dvda player, the...
I think that most honest repair shops should give youan estimate before they start. I am a little worried about finding a shop that is familar with laser disc players. Even at the height of player sales, good repair people were hard to find.
Ron, I saw this film in the theater and I was awe struck by Denzel's performance. I don't think I have ever seen such an evil character portrayed so well as in this movie. Can't wait for the release.
A friend of mine is thinking of installing in wall speakers in his living room and has asked for any suggestions. I know nothing about them, so I thought this would be the place to get some recommendations. They would be used mainly for music playback. Thanks in advance.
