In reality of course CD's are already obsolete but, as was the case with vinyl, they will never truely disappear altogether. The sad thing is that the replacement will not be as good a quality - even though that is quite possible because the majority of the music buying public simply do not care. MP3 and its multiplicity of variants, loseless or otherwise, are the standard now - some better than others quality wise. There are already "audiophile" products that allow streaming over bluetooth

[quote user="Mallette"] [quote user="jason str"] I would like to hear something better than CD quality sound available for downloading, not to say there is not already and i just dont know about it. Is it me or does anybody else prefer the sound of clean vinyl over CD's, maybe just my Sony ES just getting worn out. Music with good sound seems harder and harder to find like they forgot or just don't care anymore about quality. Still sticking with 8-track CD's until

Oh I am quite sure it is far from impossible to make a great sounding CD - hell I have a few that are really not too bad at all. The thing is that vinyl has the huge advantage of being the medium of choise through the golden years of music production when production companies were still competing to make the best possible sound- as opposed to the loudest, most compressed sound that works well for radio transmission. It is also worth remembering that most of the vinyl produced over its lifetime as

[quote user="IB Slammin"] [quote user="Groomlakearea51"] [quote user="Islander"] [quote user="maxg"] The issue is that when you have a shot of the whole stage and someone is singing far right, for example, the image of the singer is to the edge of the TV - but the sound is another 3 feet right of him/her. I find that to be quite disorientating.[/quote] That's why some AV experts recommend placing the main speakers fairly close to the TV, so that the width

Larry, I have a few opera's on DV too and on the whole am very impressed with them - as long as they have an LPCM 2 channel track that I can use on my 2 channel setup (most do - but a few have compressed Dolby digitial 2 channel which is not as good). I find I tend to be more forgiving of the quality of the audio if i am watching at the same time but there is one issue I am yet to get round. The issue is that when you have a shot of the whole stage and someone is singing far right, for example

Pah, you call this a problem? I bought a 42 inch LG with the catchy title 42LG5000. Supposedly - according to the reviews this has great sound from invisible speakers. According to me - the speakers are invisible - correct - the sound is dreadful - and I mean diabolically bad. Worse - there are no analogue audio outputs on the TV - just a digital out (optical). Funnily enough my tube amp doesn't have an optical in - so that is as much use to me as a gold plated tuba. With a hell of a lot of cabling

Not sure a flow chart would help either my wife or my daughter particularly. Lets see: There are the new digital tranmitted channels that the TV picks up on its own. There are the normal terrestrial channels (for a while anyway) that are also dealt with directly by the TV - both coming from the antenna on the roof - wife and daughter manage these fine. There are the channels that come from out interent provider via the ADSL line through a separate reviever connected via Euroscart to the TV. There

Decent voice - music not my style as others have said. Bit like Karen Carpenter IMHO - she had a fantastic voice but the chocolate box music was a bit much to take.

KT88, Nice setup and thanks for the kind offer. Glad you enjoyed the movie- I think you would fit right in with the ACA. We are all mad - but madness can be fun. Do you ever get to listen to those old Rodgers anymore? That was the sound I grew up with in the UK. Amazing image size / speaker size ratio - just not enough power handling for the low sensitivity.

I bought a bunch of these for some properties I built a while back: This is the JVC EX-A1 - the first system to used wood for the cones (soaked in Saki apparently). Tiny little thing - great sound. Volume is a bit limited - which suits my needs very well - but otherwise they can create an astonishing soundstage from speakers smaller than just about anything Klipsch make outside of headphones. So put me down as a fan of JVC in audio.
