    Denon DCP-100 question

    I'm doing some spring cleaning and I have an old DCP-100 that I *found* in my stuff. It was a High School graduation present - makes me feel very old I seem to remember it working fine last time I used it years ago but I plug it in now and nothing - no life. I checked the wall-wart...

    What cans are in the movie "Snow Cake" ?

    This is really quite a good movie, though I don't think it got wide distribution. At one point Alan Rickman's character is wearing these huge chrome cans and I have no idea what brand / model they are. Anyone here know?

    Philips 963SA w/ Benchmark DAC1

    What is the best way to feed the DAC1? My options are: PCM Output - [48KHz, 96KHz] Upsampling - ["OFF","96 KHz(24-bit)","192 KHz(24-bit)"] Or are these all settings that would only effect the Philips' internal DAC...? Thanks. (using coax out w/ Stereovox HDXV cable)

    Philips 963sa troubles

    My 963sa started to get very *fussy* about which DVDs it wanted to play. It got worse and worse until it would not play them more often than it would. I took it to the local Philips service place, and they replaced it. I was very happy about that, as I am in Canada and bought it from a US...

    What's the best MP3 player for ~$125 with these features

    Flash player. Sound quality the most important factor. 128 - 256 MB. USB v2.0 would be great, but v1.1 ok. Headphones will be replaced so not important. The thumb-drive type connectors are nice, so a cable isn't needed. I would like to be able to drag and drop any file to the...

    FWIW: Brickwall a worthwile upgrade for me.

    I've lived in old houses recently (1931 and now 1912) and the electrical has been less then perfect. I had all sorts of power related issues that made their way to my ears. I ordered a Brickwall not really thinking it would make a big difference, but it really has. I am very impressed. Worth...

    Are my drivers broken?

    driver1 Is that just a cover over the driver, or is it part of the driver itself? I don't like the way the *film* is depressed in in some areas when it is taut in the rest - is it just cosmetic? Maybe I need some new cans - HD650s maybe...

    [off-topic] Philips 963SA DVD playback

    Anyone have trouble getting some DVD discs to play on their Philips? I love the CD and SACD playback and have no troubles with it whatsoever, but one out of every 20 DVDs I throw at it takes forever to bring up the on-screen menu. It just flashes "INFO" for about 3 minutes and makes some "I'm...

    Beth Orton's new release...

    ns500v stalls

    My Sony ns500v stalls. For no appearent reason an perfectly new CDs it just stops for a few seconds then resumes. It is not skipping. I am not playing at loud levels. I am using the analog outs to NAD C-370. Haven't heard this happen on SACDs yet. Haven't heard it happen when connected...

    pre-amp, headamp, phonostage in one tidy package...?

    Like the subject says - preamp, headamp, phonostage - I am looking for all the above. Would like to find it in one package for a price that won't break the bank (~$1500), but reasonably priced combinations of two or three seperate components would be welcome. Must haves: three or more...

    headphone amp and integrated amp

    I am currently connecting a headphone amp (total air head) to the tape out RCAs of my NSD C370. I know I am avoiding the volume control circuitry, but what potential noise is included in this path, as opposed to avoiding the Integrated amp altogether? I split my listening time equally between...

    ART DI/O question

    I have decided to do some serious AB-ing of the ART DI/O vs. my CDP - Marantz CD63SE. I have power supply upgrade fro the ART but other than that it is stock. My two paths are: CDP (analog RCAs) -> Kimber PBJ -> NAD C370(AUX input) -> Headphone jack -> HD580s CDP (Digital Coax)->...
