I know DTS is a realatively popular format but is it possible that say 5 years from now DTS is not around and new stereo receivers will not be backwards compatable? I have several disks that are DTS only, including road to perdition. Would it be wise to only purchase dolby digital disks I...

Well I am sick of Shoutcast, it seems like every minute or so I am reconnecting and I have a dam T1 connection. Is there another site that may suite me better for streaming. I listen to classical and classic rock mostly. Thanks

I pulled this out of the above Ziork(sp) review. This is definatley some good news for multi channel fans. Most of the news lately has been 2 channel SACD, so this is a breath of fresh air. SIDE NOTE: If you are into the DVD-A scene, Silverline Records (a division of 5.1 Entertainment Group)...

I stumbled on a record store that had tons of used SACD's in great condition for $10.80 after tax. Based on current pricing does this sound like a good deal. Most of the SACD's were from Epic, Columbia, etc that are usually found at Best Buy and sorts. I picked up Billy Joels the Stranger, James...

I read a couple of different articles that mentioned using this greatest hits of his soundtracks SACD as reference material. Anyone know anything about this disk, I was not able to locate it anywhere. Thanks.

*********Spoiler******** There has been alot of discussion lately about the Deckard replicant or not subject. Ford says it was a major point of contention between Scott and himself and that he felt that Deckard needed to be human to add a human point of perspective and that people...

I decided to pick up a SACD today, I have had the player for a month but just have not had the time to buy a disk and when I did the selection was limited. I wanted to get a disk I had a redbook cd copy of for a direct comparison. I purchased the Top Gun soundtrack as it contained music I was...

Is there a new edition of this movie on the way, I have been looking everywhere for the film but no one has any. On dvdpricesearch there were only two listings for it. Are they gearing up for a new release?

I watched this film the other night for about the fourth time in 15 years and I came to the same conclusion, for me that film just was not great. It was a good film, ahead of its time I would say but the story just did not grab me. I have read threads were many consider this the greatest sci fi...

This is so big if it happens, from now on all new releases from Warner on cd's and their counterpart DVD Audio disks(ie Dishwallas new disk) will be priced the same, thats right, if one is on sale for 11.99 then the dvd audio disk will be 11.99...

Not sure if this was posted before but the ramifications are huge, this article also makes it sound like as soon as Sony has the plants that they will go this direction as well. http://www.stereophile.com/shownews.cgi?1353 I thought the law was that all cd's had to be backwards compatible to...

Has anyone bought cd's from Ebay sellers that can attest to the quality and the originalty of the disks. Are most of these cheap copies or the real deal?

Check it out, they will be hybrid disks as well, best news I have heard about SACD yet. http://www.highfidelityreview.com./n...snumber=390941

http://www.highfidelityreview.com./n...snumber=499199 Not sure if this has been posted and have no idea what this means to home theater and software but thought it was usefull info for people that are into the THX certifications.

Well I have had the Diva 6.1 package for three days now and thought I would post my initial impressions. My previous speakers were two JBL tower speakers(circa 1992), a cheap JBL center and two JBL N24 rear speakers. 6.1-Obviously I have only about 15 hours on these speakers so they are not...

In this months The Sensible Sound a new product was reviewed, it was HSU bass optimizer. This unit is tiny, 4"x2"x4" and costs $100. It is made for HSU cylander subs that are not powered by a HSU amp(these contain the optimizer internally). The article states that this optimzer will boost the...

Now that I am into Audio like I am and have put together a decent system(still pretty low end), but it ended up getting me into a difficult situation. I whent to a buddies house to play cards and we start to put in some music on his HT, which consisted of Bose cubes and his new upgrade of a...

Anyone have any thoughts on some magazines that would fit the following, Middle-High end fidelity componets Objective reviews Home Theater I tried S&V but that was geared a little low for me, The Absolute Sound was a little to high end. Stereophile? The Sensible Sound? Thanks Greg

This crusade that is enveloping my life began in December with a simple upgrade to a digital receiver, dvd player and sub for a mesely $1400. It is now evolved into replacing the subs with dual svs subs, replacing the DVD player with a DVD Audio player and thinking about a sacd player. My...

really did not see a good forum to post this, I was wondering what racks would be good to take a look at. I would prefer 5 shelves but I could just get two racks of 4. I see many racks at stores that have glass but having a 2 year old that makes me a little nervous. Where is a good place to...

ok not quite a beginner but as someone who is unfamilar with amps I have a question. I was reading The Absolute Sound and they had a few amp reviews of some moderately priced amps but I noticed that most were 50 watts power. That sure does not sound like much but in the review it raved about...

OK finally got my hands on this dvd-audio disk and I am really pissed off. I open the booklet that came with it and it shows the menus, which are, Surround, Stereo, Videos, Bios, Credits. Well when I put in the cd there is a completely different menu with the only option being advanced res...

Just wanted to pick uo a few disks that have both formats on it to see how they sound, I know Hotel California has a stereo track but can anyone give me some others?

Well thought I would share my thoughts as someone who is probably in the mass market target consumer of this media. Here is the equiptment that I was playing with, Yamaha RXV-1000, JVC 70BK DVD Audio Player, JBL Floor standing speakers, JBL S-center, JBL N26 surrounds, dual 20-39cs subs...

I do not post much on this part of HTF but I thought that this was the place for a rant like this. I just saw the preview of Spiderman and it looks pretty cool. The problem I have is that more and more the majority of the movie is computer graphics. The Star Wars trailor looked like a high...

OK I got my cheap ass dvd audio player and I have enough questions to make a man sick, I guess I could have named this the help Greg thread, but what it is, is what it is. First question, the DVD player I have, the JVC 80bk has a cool function that allows you to check the sample rate of the...

ok, I sure as hell don't if its mine or anyone I know, but check this story out. I am at Ultimate Electronics, which is a big box hifi store, alot better than Best Buy but not quite at the level of your small audiophile dealer. Well they have these show areas setup with different systems and...

Well after many recommendations on my first DVD Audio disk to get I settled on the Blue Man Group, unfortunately my DVD Audio player did not show up today :angry:. I have dual SVS 20-39cs subs with the new drivers. I played BMG in regular DTS surround sound and all I have to say is you better...

If you do not have full range speakers for all 5 channels is it even worth buying DVD Audio or SACD unless the player has bass managment? seems like asimple question.

Alright I finally got ahold of the famed Toy Sory 2 to check the intro as a bess demo. I calibrated again just to be safe and set up for spl measurment at reference volume. Equiptment is SVS dual 20-39cs with "isd", Samson S-700 boosted(as needed) by a RS SA-155, Toshiba DVD Player and Yamaha...
