| how to convert dvd's and blu rays to digital store them and play them back on your TV? You will probably want to look into the high end media players such as Zidoo, Zappitti and Dune. Zappitti actually just recently came out with a mass storage NAS device that will rip DVDs blurays and CDs into it's storage array for playback:https... | |
| Receiver I wouldn't put any consideration into "8K" stuff. It's really just the next marketing gimmick to "sell" consumers into buying new equipment. Realistically, in some situations, you really don't even need 4K. | |
| Advice on a budget R2R DAC It looks like you have a lot of suggestions. I'll add in Audio-GD stuff. Their R-28 model is well within your budget. | |
| Something amazing - what would you buy hah, don't start asking for speaker suggestions here because you will get 12 different opinions, and everybody says their suggestion is the "absolute best". Speaker choice is almost personal because everyone has different opinions on "what is the... | |
| Something amazing - what would you buy I own B&W D3 speakers. They can be dull sounding on some equipment, but they can also be excellent sounding with the right stuff. Since you are saying 80% home theater, I would think carefully about the McIntosh amps. McIntosh has great so... | |
| The blackest black paint ever I'm sure this is where your computer monitor is a limiting factor in seeing what this paint really looks like. Unfortunately, I have never seen this tint in person, lol. | |
| Ceramic fuses Actually, rhodium has a much less conductivity than gold. However, I think that it's superior for analog circuits. Silver has the highest conductivity but, in my opinion, presents its problems. I did read once somewhere that silver does not hav... | |
| Device that plays the USB you made for your car in your home @mlsstl - got it. I suppose it comes down to how much of a technical DIY person the OP is (morestereostuff). The Rasberry Pi solution is definitely not an out-of-the-box plug and play solution. I'm not sure that he want to spend the hours / day... | |
| Device that plays the USB you made for your car in your home guys, the OP is asking for something that "would output on analog rca connections". This was the main reason I had to recommend something as expensive as the $399 Panasonic bluray. If he has the ability to take a USB or digital COAX signal, then t... | |
| Near field monitor advice please Not all Genelec use class d amps. FYI, I never said that Genelec uses Class D amps. I only describe how Adam does their amp configuration. If you want nearfield listening use what the pros use who use them day in day out. djones51 - have you ... | |
| Near field monitor advice please Just an additional note. The Proac, Spendor and ATC options all use soft-dome tweeters. These can be very pleasing to listen to, but they are not as high resolution as hard dome tweeters. However, they are more forgiving on bad recordings or so... | |
| Near field monitor advice please A monitor like Genelec 8331a is really designed for mix-down recording engineers with features such as the coaxial mid/tweeter and fully configuration dipswitch EQ - meant to get as flat as possible. Don't get me wrong, this could be an amazing s... | |
| Device that plays the USB you made for your car in your home You want a bluray/universal player that has the ability to play ALAC files, has a USB hard-drive input and also has analog RCA outputs. An example of this would be the Panasonic DP-UB820. It's currently on sale at Crutchfield for $399. There ar... | |
| Projector Power Cords Copper will have a warmer/slower result in both audio and video if you use typical gold-plated plugs. Silver, of course, is much faster, but also has its own problems. I've found the absolute best is solid-core pure copper with rhodium plated co... | |
| The blackest black paint ever I had an arts and crafts friend actually point me to this black coating. I totally agree with Eric that not all black is created equal. I had been trying to find a really good non-reflective coating for some wood boxes. However, none of the fin... |
