| Help Identifying a Song - Accordian/Guitar My in-laws have an iPhone so I'll see about getting a Shazam evaluation.The disk is a burned compilation so how would I get a media player to identify a particular song? | |
| Monster Home Theater Power Center? I'd suggest taking a look at APC and PS Audio and see what you think. I have an APC H15 (purchased on an internet "fire" sale) that seems to do the job and the store that I deal with has teh APC H15 and recently added PS Audio to the mix. They ind... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I remember going in a Bose store years ago and sitting through the demonstration using the BIG speakers on the wall. I did wonder why there were not using Bose speakers until they took the grills/shells off of the walls and exposed the cubes hidin... | |
| Interconnects: solid or hollow core wire? I know what solid core is. I know what stranded is. I do not know what hollow core wire is? Isn't wire by definition solid as even stranded is made up of small solid core? Is there an audio cable that uses metal tubing? | |
| Help with system overhaul What would you do.... I'd strongly consider keeping your existing Marantz SR5004 and matching it up with an integrated with a home theater bypass. Even the Krell S-300i would be well within your budget and would provide a nice improvement I would suspect. There are a l... | |
| Help with system overhaul What would you do.... Tesseract86 - My philosophy is a little outside of the norm for home theater compared to most, but here's what I do.I choose to run a 4.1 channel setup skilling the center channel. I know that having a center channel would be better, but I don't f... | |
| Help with system overhaul What would you do.... Consider going with a two channel amplifier with a home theater bypass to better match your main speakers then your choice of receivers isn't nearly as critical. I believe this combination is the best of both worlds.As far as the confusion, you ca... | |
| Higher-Fi has full page ad in dupont registry I would think that Dupot Registry is a great audience for an ad. You don't have to care about high end audio to want the best of everything and just need someone to show them something that's better, or more expensive, than what they have. | |
| What is the best compressed iTunes format? My coworker listens to headphones at work often and isn't an iPod owner. I set him up to listen to the same song that came from the same CD and iTunes computer. I didn't tell him anything beyond giving them both a listen and report if he heard any... | |
| What is the best compressed iTunes format? Here's an interesting happening. I have my 30GB iPod at work loaded with the down converted 128 AAC format and last night I loaded my old 8 GB iPod with the Apple Lossless that is actually on my computer. I brought both iPods to work today and han... | |
| ipod as source? Grege - Are you saying that the reason my Onkyo iPod dock sounds like junk compared to my CD and SACD players is because I'm comparing lossless to lossy and not because of the iPod DAC? If so, I would expect to notice a significant improvement whe... | |
| Sub woofer that excels at the mid bass wanted You might consider the Focal Dome subwoofer that retails for about $895. My local dealer offered me at point for $500 and sent it home for a demo. It really sounded great, but didn't pack the punch that I wanted for home theater. It's designed to ... | |
| Sub woofer that excels at the mid bass wanted I would think that "mid bass" and "subwoofer" sort of go against each other. I would suggest looking for a subwoofer with a smaller driver, probably an 8 inch. I would think that a quality subwoofer would handle 90 hz just fine as that's fairly cl... | |
| What is the best compressed iTunes format? Once advantage to ripping in Apple Lossless and using the auto downsampling to 128 AAC is that if iTunes is updated in the future to allow other downsampling options I'll be set and ready to go at the click of a button and a few hours of waiting. | |
| modest towers with high WAF for living room? Do you know what you wife likes or dislikes about the way speakers look? It might surprise you. My wife hates the "V" look on my Focal's, but it's fairly hidden in black which is a big part of why she chose that finish. |
