jukebox w. DAC, can it be good?
The Pioneer Elite PD-F27 holds 301 CD's and has both a Toslink digital out and a coax digital out. I'm using an EVS Millenium II DAC with it and an Illuminations D-60 interconnect. I'm very happy with the sound. I also have a Denon 2800 and when I... 
Why are there so many unopened amps, ect for sale?
Why not ask the seller? They should be able to account for how they acquired the item. If they can't or won't I think I would be inclined to pass on the deal. If a deal (something) is too good to be true..... 
HDCD: What do you like?
Brian Culbertson, "Nice and Slow". Good bass, smooth jazz, HDCD. 
Pioneer DV 47-A DVD-A output analogue only
Check Tweakaudio.com I think Ric wrote a few paragraphs on this subject. I don't think DVD-A or SACD players yet output a digital signal to match their analog output. I think the ones that do output a digital signal put out a lower resolution sign... 
Progressive Denon DVD problem - help me solve this
I have the same Denon dvd player. The blue progressive scan light is always on, even when I'm playing audio cd's. The orange hdcd light only comes in when a hdcd disk is played. Check your settings in the menu. I'm pretty sure that if you are it i... 
Best Multi-disc player/transport with AES/EBU out?
I don't know how serious you want to get but for a big changer, 301 disks, the Pioneer Elite PD-F27 has a coax digital out. I got one about 2 weeks ago. Combined with an EVS Millenium II DAC, the sound quality is exceptional. Probably (maybe)not a... 
Can you help or do I have to get divorced?
Does your wife enjoy music? Who are her favorite artists? If the answer to the first question is "no" then you know what to do. If it is "yes" then get what you want. Get all of her favorite music and let hear listen to it for a week or two. She w... 
Recessed/Weak Midrange Problem -- Help
I just tried copper IC's instead of the silver I had been using for years. The same thing happened to the midrange as you describe. I went back to the silver. Your IC's could be the problem. 
Straight Wire Question
Dangerous question to ask. The only people who will respond either like them alot or dislike them enough to tell you about their brand. I recently got a good deal on Maestro II's. I replaced a pair of XLO 1200'S with them and so far I am very plea... 
Audiogon Ethics
I don't sell anything here but I have made some purchases. I am very capable of investigating an item before I buy it. I don't really like the idea of other people trying to protect me or trying to police other people's ads. I don't think you shou... 
Speaker Help for 2000 to 3000
Consider the James 10 Loudspeakers. At one time there were several ads for them here on Audiogon. Bass response is excellent and the sound stage is huge. They are tunable and with your vaulted ceilings and hardwood floors that may be a very useful... 
Describe your listening chair
Gunbei: No need to be overly serious is there? This stuff is supposed to be for fun. I guess I just haven't given my furniture a lot of thought. I would rather be comfortable first as I don't have a seperate listening room and the room is used for... 
Against everything that high end cables stand for
Brulee: Why so defensive? Why would I have been taken for a ride? Sounds like you bought $10,000 cables you didn't audition first and then replaced with others. Did you buy them based on reviews? Now to me that is really quite a ride. 
Against everything that high end cables stand for
Herman: I've never spent a lot of money on cables. I use Goertz Micro Purl Silver IC's everywhere and Straightwire Maestro II speaker cables (for now). But I also have at least 100lbs. of other cables in my closet. As I've tried more expensive cab... 
Against everything that high end cables stand for
Sean: I'd be happy to sell you a pair as well.
