| Steely Dan - New release / June 10th I have the redbook CD. I looked at the song's digital waveform using an editor and there appears to be a fairly strong digital clip right at that point, but what I'm hearing doesn't sound like typical digital overload. There's no raspy distortion,... | |
| TV with better speakers Some televisions have audio out capabilities that allow you to connect an external speaker to the television's internal amplifiers. The more common audio out is a line level signal that would require additional amplification. The best fidelity wil... | |
| Best Audio-Manufacturing Countries? Hi-end audio is a truly international endeavor. The leading nations are Canada, USA, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, China, Japan, GB and Switzerland. It would be impossible to pick a single nation as "the best". I suspect in few years we... | |
| Steely Dan - New release / June 10th Hey Ben, I could have a defective disc. | |
| Steely Dan - New release / June 10th Nobody at all heard the low frequency thumps I asked about earlier? On "Pixaleen" a big one comes at 1min18secs. I don't hear them at all on my bedroom system that rolls off the bass below 50Hz, but on the main system (which goes down strongly to ... | |
| Checking Anti-Skate? Can't answer what I don't know. Thanks for the laser info. I think I'll give it a try. | |
| Checking Anti-Skate? I'm not going to answer your question, but I am going to recommend you replace the DB protractor with the Wally Tractor. It's gives much better results. Also, how do you use a laser to set VTA? | |

Being a DITS sufferer myself, I would be most interested in your research on a cure. If you do find a cure, or better yet a ... | |
| Lizz Wright Thanks for the review. Please let me know what you think of Otis Rush and Duke Robbilard. I'm a big fan of each. | |
| Are Dealer Recommendations Useful or Useless? Viridian, I recognize that you're serious and I respect your opinion because it's based upon your direct experience. What I have trouble understanding is why if you walk into a Mercedes dealership do you expect them to recommend that you purchase ... | |
| Are Dealer Recommendations Useful or Useless? Viridian, are you serious about your last statement. Is just trying to sell a product an inherent conflict of interest? | |
| Are Dealer Recommendations Useful or Useless? Isn't the fact that a dealer carries a specific product line a recommendation for that product? Hopefully, they have mixed and matched their electronic lines with their speaker products such that each complements the other. I don't think you shoul... | |
| Dark and laid back vs bright and forward The audio language is imprecise. Sometimes I don't think anybody (audio reviewers in particular) knows what they are really talking about. | |
| Dark and laid back vs bright and forward Good question.I think I disagree with Rar1's answer. Bright refers to an emphasis on the upper mid-range/treble. The sound has an unnatural glare to it. Dark refers to a diminished upper mid-range/treble. The sound is somewhat "shut-in" and doesn'... | |
| How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs? Rockinroni said, "Your rig is entry level, you will not be able to retrieve the lower 2 or 3 octaves on this turntable." If the lowest octave is 20-40Hz, then the turntable in question can't retrieve info any lower than 80-160Hz. Roni was being ki... |
