SVS didn't do particularly well.

No not exactly. You are getting the benefits of a higher sampling frequency and higher bitrate but it's been converted from pure DSD to PCM data. The 4960 keeps it pure DSD.

Many cheaper players do this. Is it audible? Yes of course as it's one more downconversion it is not the pure DSD (SACD) data.

Greg it converts ALL DSD to PCM. You don't seem to know what DSD is however.

Functionality is fine on the Tosh but not a priority for most in an audio component.The fact the Tosh has much better DACS and doesn't convert DSD to PCM makes all the difference in the world. Ypu're not truly hearing SACD the way you should be from the cheap Pioneers. The fact it converts DSD...

It also converts DSD to PCM making it next to useless. The 4960 is an ergonomic nightmare but with true DSD and Burr Browns it blows the cheap Pioneers away for sound quality. The cheap Pioneers sound like total crap. Harsh highs, no soundstage and flabby bass. Garbage.

I have now listened to the EP500 in two completely different listening environments and systems. The first was my factory tour to Axiom Audio nearly a year ago, and the most recent was when integrated into my own reference system. In both instances, the EP500 proved to be an outstanding...

It's the DSP that they were considering I think. He really didn't detail it like he should have. It's a pretty lousy review the way it's written.

Jesse yes a dose of reality is long overdue. You'd be far better off researching and saving on your own then when you're close to a decision come back. Ever heard of The Boy Who Cried Wolf? You've been given this same advice by many people so please drop this manic behaviour and just quietly...

They're more than $25. By the time you save the money there'll be the new flavour of the week so all this dreaming and speculation is a total waste of time.

I didn't get that impression at all Garrett. The plots are all amazingly flat.

http://www.audioholics.com/productre...00reviewp1.php The one to beat?

Nope there are no stands out there that work. DO SOME RESEARCH and it might help this mania you're living with right now.

Follow Arthur's advice. You're all over the map like my kids on Christmas morning. You have $25 saved which is about 1/100th of what you need which gives you plenty of time to read and research ON YOUR OWN.

Unquestionably the Servo 15.

Need to sell.

They're HGB and I "believe" all the Rs are reversible but I've never done it.

The rears can function as corner mounted, dipole, bipole or direct radiating. Fabulous speakers that will not disappoint in any way. Veritas 2.0R $600 Energy Veritas 2.0C center in EXCELLENT condition. Veritas 2.0C $475 Paypal is fine.

The amps in the 1400 are very anemic so the Parasound will make a big difference.

Thanks for the review. Hope this doesn't become like the PSB vs. SVS thread.

The Servo 15, which I would take over any SVS, is up to V2 not 3.

Leave all my gear on all the time.

Clive is one of the very best of all time but he has no choice in this matter. The winner is signed to him so of course he's got to rave even about the horrible 3 that are left.

He has no bloody choice. They're already signed to him. You think he's going to say they suck? Get real.

While there has been a lot of buzz about "Arrested Development" getting a short order for next season, Fox's decision to pick up a full-season, 22-episode order of the quirky series, comes as somewhat of a surprise. "'Arrested Development' is one of the best comedies on television," Fox's...

For $999 go get it. Smacks most subs clearly in the woofer.

t's just BO BICE, CARRIE UNDERWOOD and VONZELL SOLOMON when "American Idol" airs tonight at 8 p.m. on FOX, and each of the Final 3 will be performing three songs: a judge's choice, a song that music mogul/producer CLIVE DAVIS selects for them and one that they pick.

Grab the 773 and the cash. There'd be very little difference in SQ as the 773 is one of the best sounding receivers OR seperates available. UltimateAV in testing the 773 said there was very little if any difference between his Parasound Halo amp/pre and the NAD at 1/4th the price. I went from...

The Stratus are a very accurate speaker, the Rockets are warmer and rolled off at the highs.

The whole things a mess. If these are the best 5 they can come up with in all of the U.S. there are real problems. Not one of them consistently stays in tune, nobody has stage presence and I can't see any of them going onto any kind of career. It's really become a total joke.
