    Audio Quality of DVD/CD player vs. CD player?

    in Technical/Restorations

    Posted

    I have been very happy with my Denon DVM-3700 which I use for both DVD and CD playback. I purchased the unit in May, 2000. The DVM-3700 is expensive. It has superior sound to my Pioneer Elite CLD 53. However, the Denon will not play CD-Rs or CD-RWs by design. So if you intend to play these type disk this player is not recommended. I agree with Ray knowing now that players are in a transitory to truly multi-play units. I have heard the SACD and it is awesome. I probably would not have spent as much on this unit. Other than it limitations play CD-Rs and CD-RWs, it is a great player. The carousel is a very nice feature.

    Klipschland tour -what did everybody learn?

    in General Klipsch Info

    Colin, the factory and Museum are not large. They do not have the facilities to accommodate a large crowd. Our group of 12 was probably a comfortable size for them. You can see from the photos that the Klipsch museum is very small. The factory is much larger but still not large enough to accommodate a large group. It does not appear commercial at all. It looks more like a family owned business.

    I did learn that the Klipsch folks bend over backwards to be helpful and supportive to their customers. I think what they did for us is a very positive example. This company will always have my loyalty. I do not think you will find any other company in the world like it.

    I will be putting some names with the photos this weekend. Some of the local people from the Chamber of Commerce I do not remember their names. There was also a couple that accompanied us that were personal friends of the Klipsch's. Maybe some of the others can help me because I do not remember all the names other than the KFC folks.

    You will also need a Sound Level Meter, catalog no. 33-2050 from Radio Shack. This is the analog model which is the preferred device. I have heard that Radio Shack has discontined this particular model, but you may luck out and find one in stock.

    Just a general observation, it sounds to me you have your center and surrounds volume way too high. The meter and and the disk will help you get the result you desire.
