| Worst record ever? A Pittsburgh native, I inherited some 45's from the folks. I found a 45 by Terry- "I'm So Lonesome I Could Gry." | |
| Could this be the next Frank Sinatra? I can't listen to this until I get home from work to judge but I saw on Youtube a 15 year old kid who sounded eerily like Johnny Cash singing Ring of Fire. It was on Good Morning America. Worth a listen. | |
| Background video - listen/watch different sources My Denon AVR3803 has a button on the face that does it. Not sure whether the remote has it or not. I've used it occasionaly. | |
| Preamp/tuner/headphone question I have the same problem with my B&K Reference 20. What a waste of a headphone jack. The manual sortof explained what to do but it was so complicated that I messed up some other settings so I gave up. check out the manual. It might say how to. | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? Just a personal experience. I was at a high end salon sitting in a chair while they were setting up a system. They substituted various components and I could tell the difference as they did. The $2k cd player (Arcam) sounded fine but replacing it ... | |

| Last time you felt that "tingling" sensation? The end of Eva Cassidy's "Autumn Leaves" on my Grado sr200's. | |
| Audiophiles are older than dirt I remember all of them. Loved the smell of the mimeograph paper. Before "whiting out." Ipana commercials. | |
| How is Mid Fi defined? With 3 teenage daughters, I can only afford used mid-fi. Is that lo-fi with an asterisk? | |
| Which hdtv would you recommend and why? It seems like now that Pioneer is not making their top-rated Kuro line, Panasonic is the one to go with if you decide on plasma. That is what I will do when I get enough money, and I have low light in the living room and the seating is really spre... | |
| HDMI 1.4 I use 1.4 on my 1.3 equipment and it works fine. | |
