  1. While waiting for the price of Blue Ray to come down, I want to fill the void with a player that will play both DVD Audio and SACD, without breaking the bank. It also must deliver a good picture as well. What are some good options out there right now that you guys might recommend?

    Thanks, and a Happy (Klipsch) New Year to all!

  2. GET YOUR YA-YA's OUT ; the Rollings Stones at Madison Square Garden with Mick Taylor, his first tour with the band............"Sympathy for the Devil" Keith and Mick with in your face Guitar Solo's..........this is what dual leads is all about......1969.........

    LIVE AT THE FILLIMORE EAST; the Allman Brothers Band......You know deep down there is footage of this show............Oh to see Duane and Dickey swapping off leads would be heaven............Greg's voice young, full of power........twin drummer's.......

    Those are my choices, although I could list a bunch more, I be happy with these, Now it's your turn.............Name your poison................Doesn't have to be ROCK..........alot of Jazz is live.............Bluegrass has alot of live...........Reggae has live, too..........

    Get Your Ya-Ya's Out has long been one of my favorite Stones recordings. If they could somehow get this on DVD I would be in heaven!!!!! Live at the Fillmore East is right up there as well. Great Choices!!!!!!

  3. The max bitrate for DTS is about twice that of dolby digital. This does not mean all DTS tracks are much better, but it does seem that DTS soundtracks are across the board better to my ears.

    +1, I agree wholeheartedly.

  4. I voted Blue Ray. It seems to have significantly more industry support than HD DVD. Personally, I can't afford to pick the losing format (unless uni players appear), so I plan to let you high-rolling, bleeding-edge early adopters sort this mess out.

    Call me when the war is over. I'll be in my music room listening to my huge seven-disc DVD-Audio colection.[:$]

    ^ I'm right there with ya. Oh, and I'll be listening to my massive eight disc SACD collection!

  5. by far and away the best 'free' tweak I ever make to improve the sound of my system is to reserve any 'critical' listening for those times when my wife is out of the house...

    I'm not sure how, but it really eliminates a very annoying screeching sound that I otherwise experiance when listening at levels above those of normal conversation

    +1............that annoying background hiss that sounds like "turn it down" seems to disappear when the wife is gone. [:D]

  6. OH YEAH, gulf coast oysters on the half-shell, red sauce, horseradish, saltines, tabasco, and knock it all downwith an ice cold Sam Adams on tap...............dang, might have to get the wife and go have some tonight! YUMMMMMMM! Those yankees don't know what they're missing.[;)]

  7. Those KLF20 would KICK the RF25's butt!

    And I can't believe all the talk I'm hearing here about people taking furniture grade wood veneer (hardly used any more by the way kids) and PAINTING IT. Just go get some MDF cabinets with vinyl wrap if you want black. Sell these to someone with classic tastes who likes speakers to look like furniture please.

    Stop the madness. leave the wood alone. It's beautiful. Maybe I'll buy these just to save them.....

    +1000 on that!

  8. I would call your cable company and make sure their HDMI or DVI is active on their boxes. I have a Pioneer Elite rear projection tv with Charter cable and tried the DVI coming out of the Charter box, but got a message saying my tv was not HDCP compatible. BS,! the Pioneer is HDCP compatible and I called Pioneer anyway just to verify. I called Charter and they changed their story, and said the DVI on their boxes was not "active at this time" and were working with Scientific Atlanta to correct the problem. Bottom line is, at least with Charter, is what they say will work and what does work are sometimes two different things. YMMV

    Man-o-Man...you just saved me a major heart break.

    I did call my Warner Cable company and they told me that the new Motorola HI-DEF box they swapped out with me, does NOT have the DVI-d port activated and that I needed to return that Motorola new box and swap it out for....get this... the Scientific Atlanta 3250 Box.

    Texxas Guy...you saved me some serious heart ache. Thank You , thank You , thank YOu !

    LOL,,,glad it worked out. In my case, I bought the cable off Ebay before checking. Anyway, hope Warner Cable does not speak with forked tongue like Charter............Good Luck!

    PS: Wanna buy a brand new Monster DVI cable?[:)]jk
