Pink Floyd's Pulse DVD finally
Is the presentation on this DVD different than the import (Brazilian I believe) from a couple of years ago? That one may be a copy of the previously mentioned laserdisc. Does the new DVD release capture the "live performances" (i.e.: good footage ... 
Merlin VSM-mm's a good value at $3000 used?
Wow.Fire you PR person for not being there for you. Hire me for professional advice on dealing with the public (i.e. potential buyers). Ooops! Don't mean to self-promote! 
Which DVD player
Rs691919, I paid $1,350 for a new unit. I actually traded in my separate transport/converter and Pioneer Elite DVD player, along with several greenbacks. For the money, I'm very impressed with the Rotel. Again, my priority is the audio. I do belie... 
Which DVD player
If you're still interested, I just purchased the Rotel RDV-1092, which actually converts to 1080p (as well as 1080i). For superior video output, one might want to consider the Denon 3930. However, when it comes to 2-channel analog playback, the 10... 
tough decision: Rotel RDV 1092 or Denon 3930CI
Dezyrae, Once you've made your comparison let me know what you think. I really like what the Rotel can do in 2 channel. I had a tough time discerning any major differences over my EAD/ARC transport/converter separates. The Rotel may have even best... 
tough decision: Rotel RDV 1092 or Denon 3930CI
Thanks Dezyrae. I went with the Rotel. My dealer (is a friend who I trust) carries both lines (Denon & Rotel) and he said there was no contest (regarding audio). I also demo'd both units - in my home at different times and simultaneously (side... 
Home made absorption panels.....
You can make frames out of inexpensive 1x2 lumber, which gives you 1.5" depth. Cut high-density foam (or other acoustic materials) to fit the frame. Then, go to your local fabric store and pick out your choice of inexpensive fabric (you will be su... 
veneer question
Get some "solid" glue (for glue-guns) and scrap off a small amount with a knife or razor blade. Then, gentle "tuck" that glue into the gap ("tuck-point" - like in masonry - BUT, DO IT GENTLY). Then take an iron (set between low and medium heat) an... 
"The B&W Sound"
Very good. Thank you. Good to hear from B&W enthusiasts. I am one who believes that B&W makes quality products. I simple don't care for the 703 sound. Yes, it could be my upstream components. However, what I am hearing is the very same thi... 
Advice on system and speaker placement-B&W
Your speaker set up should be an equal-sided triangle (three equal lengths) - speaker to speaker is the base of the triangle, your ear (listening position) to the speaker is one side, your other ear to the other speaker is the third side. You migh... 
A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx
"POP!" Wow! I do feel better. You were right Mr. Fremer!Actually, I thought that Mr. Hardesty's article was a bit unprofessional in the way he made such an issue of criticizing the reviews and opinions of you and other reviewers rather than concen... 
A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx
Wow! I want to work for Stereophile. My silly employer actually requires that I conduct myself in a professional manner, especially when making written responses. For some reason my employer believes that the Internet is a poor medium to use for c... 
Which musician retired too soon?
Ritchie Blackmore (from rock & roll). What a shame. 
Pink Floyd reunion
For those who are interested, I found the answer to my previous question: EMI will release a DVD of the Live 8 performances in November. There's a bit of a catch though -The EMI release will be unique for various territories with songs designed to...
