I had a great experience with Stuart’s Film screen. As I posted earlier, I was getting the new JVC 4k projector, the 3000. (Also known as the N9)
First I wrote Stuart’s to find out what was available and asked for local dealers. They sent me a list, but, sadly, while the dealers were anxious...
I have a JVC 66U projector, this year’s model. It allows you to have an ipad app to control the projector. However the projector must be connected to the internet. Since my projector is on the ceiling in the living room a wired connection is out of the question. I could do it wirelessly...
Every once in a while, either on line or in person, I have been asked if wiring makes a difference and which wires are best. This is very bad because it assumes I know what I am talking about!!!
First off, I think cabling is the sales tax of stereos…it cost us money, but is never the reason we...
I have had a Sonos system for more than a year and it is the best thing since sliced bread. I mean it! I live in the NY area and I have lost every Jazz and Classical station. I also do not get AM reception out here. Honest to Gosh, I resisted. But my dealer kept mentioning it. Well, I got the...
In giving a full review to an audio/video product, I realize that there are many helpful professional reviews out there, even ones that helped me make my decision. I tailor my reviews to that as a customer, not a technical adviser.
I bought a pair of SVS SB-13 Ultras to replace my single...
The white smoke coming from my chimney is to announce that a new Surround Sound Processor has officially been chosen. It is the Krell 707.
This is a review of the Krell 707 3D Processor. I have found it always difficult to compare one component to another one. Not for myself, but on line...
I am hesitate to write some reviews because many of the people on this site are professionals in the field and are sometimes connected, one way or another, to many of the audio companies. For those reasons, and that civility, negative reviews or comparisons are actually hard to find.
As a...
When i read the Stereophile review of the Cipher and a few other reviews, they mentioned that they used the Blu Diamond Racing cones...Mk4 for detail, MK 3 for warmth.
I have trouble accepting that these cones can do all that. Has anyone had a real experience with them, do they work?
And I...
Dear Friends:
I take your statements and reviews very seriously. I am not a professional reviewer and I have different, goals perhaps than many of the people who even do it on this site. And I realize that I have very different goals than I had 20 years ago. My goals now are far more...
When the Cipher was installed they connected the stereo outputs and the also connected the multi channel outputs.
But I don't have a multi channel SACD disc. I love traditional Jazz. Can anyone suggest one?
It’s like a Twilight Zone episode.
Wait was there ever a happy ending on a Twilight Zone episode?
But first, I respect, appreciate and encourage everyone here to express their opinions. Our tastes may differ but our affection for this hobby and what is brings is universal. Many people...
Tomorrow I get my new Krell Cipher. I will have an opportunity to use the Krell Cast wires to connect it to my 707 and then use the cast wires to connect the 707 to the Krell amps.
Currently I am using Transparent Balanced cables, but Krell so encourages the use of cast. The dealer will...
May I give a Barry review of the Oppo 105, which I have had since January? And this comes from the school of “I don’t know nothing about measuring equipment, Miss Scarlett. I only go with what is on the screen and what is coming out of the speakers. I have been without my "major" SACD player...
