| Pioneer Elite BDP-05FD No, regarding DD-HD and DTS-HD sound via the coax or optical digital out. HD sound will only transmit over the HDMI output. | |
| Keep a Krell KST-100 Krell refurbished my +14 year old KSA-250 two years ago. Came back as good as new! At the risk of iritating a lot of Krell, and other high end power amp, owners; old Krell power amps are nearly as good as anything you can buy new IMHO. Keep the Kr... | |

| Airtunes dropouts with Mac mini to Airport Express I had a similar problem with my MacBook to Squeezebox. Originally had the router WiFi mode set to 11b/g/n, reset it to 11b/g and everything was fine. | |
| John Martyn RIP For those of you not familiar with this British rock/folk musician; just listen to his seminal album Solid Air and you will be a convert! I salute you Mr. Martyn for producing such wonderful and endearing music. RIP. | |
| PC Based Audio - How? All,Many thanks for your good advise. I used to aspire to a dCS based CD player, not anymore though! You have convinced me computer base CD play back is the way to go. Can't wait to give it a try. Thanks.Marcus | |
| Quads vs Sound Labs vs Maggie 20.1 I can't comment on the speaker comparison having only really listened to the ESL-63s. However, you asked for a recommendation on Quad ESL restorers. Last year I visited Kent McCollum in Kansas City. Kent specializes in restoring old Quad ESls. I w... | |
| What one product has redefined music for you?? Quad ESL (original and 63s) defined HiFi for me. I heard the original Quads at a HiFi show in the UK in the 70s, at the same show I also heard the Yamaha NS1000Ms. I purchased a pair of NS1000Ms few years later and still have them in service. Movi... | |

| Best sounding Krell ? Interesting question. OK, my Krell (KSA-250) is more then 10 years old. After a rebuild by Krell, I still think the KSA-250 is one of the (if not the) best power amp I have ever used. Definitely a keeper for me. I am curious though, how does the K... | |

| Driven to Tears I once heard a pair of Apogee Divas being demonstrated with Steely Dan's sweet sixteen. I don't know about tears, but, this was probably one of the best sound systems I have ever heard and it got every bit of my attention. Funny thing is, I am not... | |
| Speaker cables for Quad 63's You could do what QUAD do at their demonstrations. Simply use some heavy duty (14 AWG or larger) insulated copper wire, nothing fancy. I have heard the new QUADs using good old extension lead wire (the orange stuff from Home Depot etc.). They soun... | |
| HDMI Cable Questions Thanks "Butsy", what an eye opener! Just another confirmation of what I already know, expensive cables are an absolute waste of money |
