I have not seen any posts on the new Adire Audio Rava II. Has anyone on the forum purchased one of these second generation subs? The original seemed to be universally lauded for its accuracy and "bang for the buck", how does the new one compare?

Hey Curtis (or anyone else in the know), is there any word on when the Ascend Forum will be up and running again?

I've been looking for a copy of this song for a long time, with no luck. It's "Prisoner" by Karen Lawrence and the L.A. Jets. This song was rerecorded by Barbra Streisand and used as the love theme for the movie "The Eyes of Laura Mars". The original version (written by Lawrence, by the way) has...

Good news! Ascend Acoustics has completely revised their website! Congratulations David and crew. You can see it at www.ascendacoustics.com :D :emoji_thumbsup:

My Denon DVD-2200 player locks up when I try to access the dts tracks from the menu on the ELO "Zoom" dvd. I installed the Denon firmware to fix the dts issues on one of the "Alien" dvds because this problem sounded very similar to the one I'm having with "Zoom". However, this did not solve the...

I want to make sure I am setting up my 2200 correctly for M/C SACD and DVD-A playback. Can anyone (like KeithH or John Garcia) give me some advice on a few options: 1) Digital out (normal or PCM)? 2) LPCM (44.1 kHz/48 kHz) (off or on)? 3) Filter (off or on)? I have the audio channel set...

Any comments on the hybrid SACD version of "Tricycle" by Flim & the BB's would be appreciated. I remember seeing that this recording was highly regarded many years ago.

Just how good are the dts 5.1 surround cds? How do they compare to DVD-A and SACD? I'm interested in The Police greatest hits, any comments?

I have a Sony SACD-capable DVD player with an Onkyo TX-DS595 receiver. I am using the 5.1 analog connection between the two components, my question is what DSP mode do I use for multi-channel SACD listening? Thanks.

I have an Onkyo TX-DS595 receiver with a Sony DVP-NS500V player, will these components play 24 bit/96kHz discs at their full resolution?

Remember when the artwork that came with your music was large enough to see? :D What are some of your all time favorite album covers? I'll start it off with a few of mine: 1) "Buckingham Nicks" (oooh Stevie!:b ) 2) almost any cover done by Roger Dean (especially the Yes albums)

What are some of the best sounding "demo-reference quality" rock DVD-As out there? The ones that really show off their hi-rez capabilities? Thanks!

What are your favorite demo-reference quality rock genre sacds? The ones that really show off hi-rez. Thanks!

I've been looking for the ORIGINAL versions of two songs from the 70's: 1) "(Fool) If You think Its Over" - by Chris Rea originally on the album "Whatever Happened to Benny Santini?" 2) "I Know this Night Won't Last Forever" - by Michael Johnson originally on the album "Dialogue". For...

This probably sounds like a dumb question. . . but, here goes. I have a Sony DVP-NS500V dvd/sacd/cd player. I presently only have a toslink optical cable providing the audio signal to my Onkyo TX-DS595 receiver. If I understand it correctly I can't get true SACD audio like this. This is probably...

Can anyone recommend a low or reasonably priced universal dvd-a / sacd player? Is there any chance that Sony will come out with one? Thanks!

Jason, can you give us an update on the upcoming Ascend Acoustics "dedicated" center channel? Date, specs, prices, or even a model number would be appreciated!

I just purchased my first two dvd-a titles and I'm really impressed with them. Being a big Yes fan, "Fragile" and "Magnification" were must-have discs. My dvd player doesn't decode (is that the proper term?) the dvd-a layer, so I'm limited to the lower resolution Dolby Digital and dts modes -...

Just read a new review on the Ascend Acoustics CBM-170 speaker by Doug Schneider located at www.soundstage.com . Another very favorable review for some great speakers! :emoji_thumbsup:

Does anyone out there besides me wonder why the Tim Weisberg title "Tip of the Weisberg" has never been released on cd? I have this on a dbx-encoded Nautilus Digital Superdisc Recording and it rivals anything I've ever heard from MFSL. It is a state of the art digital recording and it seems like...

I miss the good old days when cds were coded with letters to tell you how they were recorded, mixed, and mastered. I believe this was called the SPARS system and told whether the cd was "fully digital" or an analog-digital hybrid. Anyway lets list the full digital (DDD) rock cds out there. I'll...

Many vintage speakers suffer from the dreaded foam surround rot problem. I have a pair of JBL L150 towers (early 80s) that I have had to replace the surrounds on the woofers and passive radiators. My question is: Are modern speakers still vulnerable to this problem or have there been advances in...

I know that this is an old subject, but can anyone post a reply listing the dvds that suffer from DDDD (dreaded Dolby Digital dropout)? Thanks in advance!

Since I'm planning on getting a Hsu Research VTF-2 sub, I was wondering is the good Dr's name pronounced "Sue" or "Shoe"? AV123.com says it's "Shoe" while Bluewhaleaudio.com insists that "Sue" is correct. Please enlighten me!!

Hi, I just saw an ad for Ultralink Products and they have a cable I'm interested in. Its a s-vhs to composite converter cable. I need a cable like this because my T.V. (a JVC AV-32320) has video input jacks on the back for component cables and s-video only. The only composite video jack on my TV...

I'm planning on ordering a 5.1 set of speakers from Ascend Acoustics and had originally intended on getting all CBM-170s to go along with the VTF-2 sub. My problem is I don't have enough space between the top of the tv and the component shelf above for a 170 to fit horizontally.However,a HTM-200...

Received an email from David of Ascend Acoustics telling of an upcoming review in "The $ensible Sound" on the CBM-170 speaker! When anyone finds out for certain which issue it will be in let us know. Howard Ferstler is supposed to have written the article. I think it's great that an "e-company"...
