I would like to ask opinions on DVD players around the $150 U.S. price. I decided not to worry about Progressive Scan because I don't have HDTV's and the TV's I have only take RF input. I would like to get one that will playback DVD-R, DVD-RW as I will be getting a computer soon with a DVD...

I got some info from a friend. This tool is called a Piston phone, made by B&K. It apparantly puts out some type of warble tone, but it is a little more than just a sound. It registers 124 dB spl flat or "C" weighting. The cost is probably around $800.00, a far throw from me thinking 10...

In answer to your question, is yes you can calibrate with the right tool. It's a piston that you stick on the mic end of the SPL meter and it creates noise at 124 dB. I calibrated my RS meter and it was within less than a 1/2 of a dB. I don't think you would want to spend approx. $8000.00 for...

I wouldn't ingnore any spec. for the product your buying. The thing is, sensitivity is related to how efficient the speaker works with the amount of power sent to it. Usually it's rated at 1 watt at 1 meter. This means if a sensitivity of 90dB is said then at 1 meter away from the speaker it...

The problem is the incompatibility of pro-audio vs. consumer audio. Somebody touched on it earlier. Your pre-amp is at -10dB and your Amplifier wants to see a +4dB input signal. This has nothing to do with re-calibrating. You need to step-up the signal going to your amp's input. You need a...

I have heard the difference before, but it was in a controlled environment. ( a mastering suite for Pro-audio) It was also through Genelec speakers which are very nice! So, if your stuff is not extremely good audiophile quality, then I don't think you'll come close to hearing the difference...

That's correct. A standard audio compact disc has always been classified as a "redbook" standard. Other "books" are used when writing non-audio data. Or maybe mixing the two together, music and video. The only thing to look for when buying a player for audio discs is that a three beam...

You can use metal conduit. Even then I would try to keep my wires away from any other electrical source. However, of all the cables to keep protected, speaker level power is usually not the problem when it comes to picking up other noises. BTW, if you want to plan for the future without...

Steven, To bi-amp, your reciever would need pre-amp outputs. It probably does, the real questions would be, what kind of speakers do you have, and are you willing to purchase a 2-way stereo cross-over and 2 stereo amplifiers? Your speakers would need to be bi-ampible. Do they have separate...
