| panny 60u vs. 600u I have not seen the 600U, but I am unimpressed with the jagged razoring along image edges that I saw on the 60U during fast motion sequences. A BB/Magnolia salesman told me that the 600U has a better video processor and that the 60U actually was a... | |
| In the market for a plasma.........suggestions? Question about the Panasonic 60 vs. 600 models. I've seen the 60s but not the 600s in store displays. Don't know if it's poor setup or endemic to the budget model, but I've observed mild problems with jagged razoring along edges during motion sequ... | |
| Ray LaMontagne - Got the Stuff If you like Ray and you want a little more fiber in your diet, try Califone "Roots & Crowns." Possibly album of the year in this genre. New Bonnie Prince Billy "The Letting Go" is also good. | |
| Preamplifier: Yes or NO ? I've thought about a TVC or a resistive passive attenuator as an alternative to my tube pre, and I will probably get around to trying one soon. As related experience, I've tried several active and passive analog output stages inside my modded CDP,... | |
| In the market for a plasma.........suggestions? I see Panasonic just dropped the MSRP of the 60U to $1800. The price of even good branded plasma is crashing through the floor. | |
| Mose Allison - anyone know a vinyl source? Interesting guy, among other things, a big influence on Pete Townshend. | |
| What speakers are you guys driving your BAT's with When I was using my VK75SE with difficult speakers (Wilson W3P2) I used Zeroimpedance.com Autoformers. | |
| PRat: a DAC or transport thing? As Judge Potter Stewart said of pornography, "I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced . . . but I know it when I see it . . . "PRAT is pretty much in this same elusive category. It's also a kin... | |
| Balanced or single ended leads from your arm. George, I spoke with BAT today and Vladimir confirmed that because the original P10 is not balanced in the first gain stage, its does sound better and offers higher SNR using RCA inputs instead of XLR. As you mentioned, the P10SE has a fully-balan... | |
| Balanced or single ended leads from your arm. Jfrech, here is a post that Victor Komenko of BAT made awhile back that sums up his view on the matter. The 6db advantage in SNR actually goes to the SE connection between the TT & the phono stage.http://db.audioasylum.com/cgi/m.mpl?forum=viny... | |
| hifi audio in movies Martin Logan (Aerius?) speakers in the party scene at Peter Fonda's cliffside house in The Limey. | |
| Balanced or single ended leads from your arm. This can be a bit tricky, as a phono cartridge is not a true-balanced source(this would require +/- phases referenced separately to ground, or a total of five pins instead of the four found in a cartridge). My BAT P10 phono stage has both RCA &... | |
| Larry Carlton Agreed, Willis. In breezy mode Carlton is one of the very few irresistable smooth jazz guys. Over the year I've worn out the vinyl listening to "Sleepwalk." | |
| hifi audio in movies I believe Malcolm McDowell enjoys Ludwig Von on a Michell Gyrodeck in Clockwork Orange between predations with Dim & Dum. | |
| Need help with sub selection Bob, it is not apples-to-apples to compare the low distortion products of op amps-- which nevertheless at higher frequencies add audible grain & hardness & loss of refinement in the treble and midrange-- to the much higher percentage disto... |
