...I prefer two channels and find them sufficient for all movies. Which means, I've never had trouble with center fill -- all dialog comes out fine on my OPPO(s), as it did with my Sony PS3.Also good luck finding a decoder with preamp outs.clark...

"Buzzing and hum are VERY different problem and you can’t confuse them." But of course you can!Generally speaking, however, hum is 60Hz and buzzing is (half-rectified) 120Hz. Also it seems to me that people on this board would be able to distinguish ...

After reading this thread I can't help but wonder whether y'all are familiar with the concept of AC polarity. The topic has been addressed in numerous locations (most thoroughly in Bound for Sound), but perhaps not recently. In short, which way the p...

This is as good a short notice on the truth about Brian, as I've ever seen. He visited me here in Boston many times, certainly for professional reasons but soon as we adjourned the talk was all about music. Also we went to several concerts (Symphony ...

What a great story! And great setting. Congratulations, old man!"Maybe that was poor Anton's problem. He could never play any of his music on the IPOD to his prospective lady friends." Very funny, mats!clark-->

For four decades I have detested that European video style (busy cameras, quick zooms, musically irrelevant shot framing). The BSO's Jordan Whitelaw pioneered the American style -- lots of long shots, and slow cuts. But now it appears that all the Am...

I shall have to come see it. I even liked it before!...

And evening. This Symphony Orchestra in need of a new conductor plays terrifically well for Salonen -- to impress him I think.For myself I grilled ground sirloin, cooked broccoli with a mint sauce and popped a bottle of '08 Monastrell from "35-60 yea...

Speaking as a local audio guy... yeah the sound was poor but who knows?... whether it was the dvd?... the electronics?... the day? Plus it was Room #2, so...My policy, perhaps mistaken, in such a situation, is to enjoy the music.As to the OPPO, I'd l...

Why hasn't all this been understood and resolved?! Here we are in the 21st Century... we know everything there is to know about audio... and yet......

...exhibitors often do not have the time to spare to try a new device that may or may not improve their performance. In fact their systems rarely perform well even up to their lax standards, on the first day.That said, I well recall the years when Ba...

"Meanwhile, I suppose we mostly tend to think of "phase" as a 180 proposition, +/-, either/or." Not I, sir! Phase is a matter of degrees. Polarity is a total flip, which is why it's a far better word for the two conditions under discussion.So let's p...

"You mistakably took roundness but it was nothing but confidence and luck of my interest to contaminate the thread with another introduction of acoustic absolute phase." Folks, I invite you to look at the record. I introduced AC plug polarity and whe...

We should all be grateful that you're documenting it so well....

Anyhow, I
wools like to stay with good commercial solution that in my estimation
shall be superior to the promises of audiophile underwriters.
A "good commercial solution" to amplification would be, oh, say, Crown...
