New Sade Album
Hey All -- I haven't bought the new Sade album yet. However, I have heard what may be the feature cut off of the new CD and I think that I can still dissect her honeyed voice from the instrumental background. I have yet to hear the new Sade CD in ... 
Best DVD player in $500-$1000 Range
Bmpnyc -- Well, on my day off from work today, I left the house to go shopping for a while. And while I was on my excursion, I did go to ONE of the "high-end" dealers that are in my area today. When I got there, I talked to an audio salesman (one ... 
Absolute Best DVD Player?
Rick5189 -- What is the "BEST" DVD Player on the planet. There could be an argument as there are currently three high-end DVD Players that are worthy of elite status right now. As "Cjattieasy" has said, there is the Panasonic DVD H1000. But also, ... 
Best DVD player in $500-$1000 Range
Bmpnyc--Thanks for the tip..... Your point is well taken.... I'll add the Pioneer Elite DV-37 to my shortlist. But one other question remains. I thought that the Pioneer Elite DV-37 retails for about $1,000.00. And I see you managed to land yours ... 
Best DVD player in $500-$1000 Range
An addend--If by any chance that I don't end up landing either a Pioneer Elite DV-09 or a Sony DVP-S7700 either from my local "high-end" dealer (and they carry both of these players) or I cannot find either one for what I think is a reasonable pri... 
Best DVD player in $500-$1000 Range
What I would do if I am looking for a DVD Player in the $500.00 to $1,000.00 price range is just like someone else has said (I believe it was "Sdcampbell") is look at such websites such as "Audiogon", "C-Net", "Yahoo" and "E-Bay". Also, look at ot... 
HT Gear solved, thanks all who helped!
You're welcome, Jeff--But I have one question still. I have noticed that you have purchased a "passive" subwoofer to go with your Gallo Speaker System, NAD T760 Receiver and Toshiba DVD Player. What I would like to know is, how are you going to po... 
VCR (remember these?) w/ a great picture
Anubis--Yes I do. I remember them fondly. My younger brother had a high-end AKAI VHS Hi-Fi VCR (the one with the rosewood side panels and the LCD equipped remote) back in the late 1980's and that was my intimate introduction to high-end VCRs as fa... 
Audiophile considering HT
Jeff--Like I said, an NAD D-D A/V Receiver should be about $700.00 at the max. If you shop around, you might even find one at a closeout sale for less. Also, try "e-bay". There might be some used NAD's at that site you can get at incredible prices... 
Audiophile considering HT
Hello Jeff--How are you doing?? Sounds like you're in the same exact boat as I am in (for home theater, while I don't want something that is on the same level as my audio system, I'm not just going to settle for just anything either. My home theat... 
sony dvp7700?
Kthomas: Thanks for the input. As I been receiving bi-annual and occasional sales flyers from a mail order outfit named "Crutchfield" for sometime now, I have been seeing the Sony DVP-S7700 DVD Player being listed for $799.00 (which is about $300.... 
Pioneer DV-37 vs. Sony DVP-9000ES
Bympnyc and Toan: I also have a subscription to a magazine called "The Perfect Vision". Inside of their latest issue, not even in stores yet, they (Sony) have a DVP-S9000ES on display on their advertisement. And I believe that they're available he... 
Best CD Player for $1000
Well, how about a Meridian 506.20 or an earlier 506.24?? I am searching the "net" for one right now. But I am going to wait for my finances to recover so that they can permit the purchase of one (that might not happen until January or February). A... 
The best sounding FM Tuner is.....
Is without a doubt, Magnum Dynalab..... hands down. While the MD-108 is their top-of-the-line tuner (at $5,000.00...... OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!), you can get an MD-102 for about half of that and it offers 90% to 95% of the perfomance of the MD-108 witho... 
Best integrated amp for Sonus Concerto
Neronian: If I may make some kind of case here.... What about the Classe CAP-151 Integrated Amplifier?? The Big Classe Integrated sounds warm, smooth and rich with the Sonus Concertos. The Classe is a 150 W/P/C High Current Integrated just in case...
