| Best/Cheapest/Easist Way To Burn CD's? Soulgoober,I would not think it possible to assert that either computer burning or stereo component burning is categorically better or worse. The technology required to do a good job is similar in either case and I'm sure there are devices that do... | |
| Best/Cheapest/Easist Way To Burn CD's? Markphd,Good point. The book is still open on the longevity of recorded CDs. I haven't had problems so far, but have only been doing it for 5-6 years now."Burning" in a lossless manner to file/server storage is an interesting approach as well, but... | |
| Beatles covers: better than originals? MadHF,I've seen several leading BEatles cover acts including "Classical Mystery Tour" (with symphony orchestra doing the fills, wonderful!), Rain (twice), 1964 (very good, early BEatles stuff only, simple arrangements), and others. All were most e... | |
| Beatles covers: better than originals? Gfroman,I did see "Across the Universe". I liked the musical performances very much. The cast was very talented and put some nice different twists/edges on several songs. I would like to get the soundtrack.The story line left a bit to be desired, ... | |
| Best/Cheapest/Easist Way To Burn CD's? The $600 Denon unit in my system makes perfect recordings every time. I can easily recommend it. I've used Fuji and Maxell CD-Rs with it for over two years and have never had any problem getting perfect recordings. | |
| Do any speakers image/sound-stage close to walls? I've heard speakers that sound very good right up against or very close to the rear wall. But I've yet to find a way to put speakers directly up against a wall without losing something in regards to sound stage depth, if not imaging. Rear ported s... | |
| Best/Cheapest/Easist Way To Burn CD's? Having heard many recordings created with many different recorders over the years, it's silly to put down CDRs in my opinion.I've used a $600 Denon cd player/recorder for over 2 years now and can easily recommend this device without reservation as... | |
| White Album, when's your last listen? Just gave it a fresh listen on CD!This was the first listen since I completed my recent tweaks to my system.The results: I'm very happy camper! Everything was there and everything sounded "right". Even picked up a few new details I've never heard ... | |
| White Album, when's your last listen? One of the many factors that make the Beatles great is the diversity and exploratory nature of their music. No two albums sound the same, particularly in the second more artistic half of their career. The White Album is the most in interesting fro... | |
| White Album, when's your last listen? The Beatles, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Mozart. I might toss Tchiakovsky in as well, I suppose.Towards the less competitive, heavy metal/hard rock/grunge edge, I'd toss in Metallica, AC/DC Led Zep, and Nirvana, I suppose, but I would not put... | |
| Arcam FMJ CD36 or Musical Fidelity A5? I would most likely go for the a5 or other MF CD player if I were to upgrade the CD in my system. I bought a second hand A3CR amp a while back and have been most pleased with the results. I know some are suspicious of MF because their equipment ha... | |
| White Album, when's your last listen? I've listened to a lot of music over the years + have many favorites. I always find I come back to the Beatles body of work as my reference standard... the all time best + timeless."I Will" is an all time classic love song...one of the many great ... | |
| Square room with vaulted ceilings Give it a try...what is there to loose? Do you have another option? If not, make the best of what you have.I have a 12'X12' room with a vaulted ceiling (and another with a 7' planar/flat ceiling) and no particular problems I could relate with eith... | |
| New Product......Intelligent Box I don't have an answer for many things....this is one of the less important issues in my mind.I do find the discussion here most fascinating though!And, I've actually thought of a way that zapping a disc COULD improve the sound. I haven't determin... | |
| New Product......Intelligent Box Whoops, sorry...actually the vendor site has info about their intelligent chip but nothing about the intelligent box, which is different though maybe each is attempting to solve the same problem ( I should read more carefully I suppose)????I'm so ... |
