I'd like to thank Steve Guttenburg for a great "As we see it" (AWSI) in the April issue. Steve's quite right that many (pop) recordings suck and are not good enough for high-end playback. What shocks me is how many are trying to do this. I've noticed over the years, in a competing (print) magazine, that the bulk of their monthly music selections are rock and pop. Nothing wrong with rock and roll...but is it a good idea to play this kind of music through a high-resolution music system ? And that's for any (historical) rock record - how about the ones made this decade ?

"The right of the people to keep and bear arms has been recognized by the General Government; but the best security of that right after all is, the military spirit, that taste for martial exercises, which has always distinguished the free citizens of these States....Such men form the best barrier to the liberties of America" - (Gazette of the United States, October 14, 1789.)

Hi I just upgraded my receiver to a new Denon AVR-789 and in the process, picked up a USED CV AVS-Sub8 subwoofer.

After initial hookup of the system, everything worked fine. The sub received power and sounded pretty good (for an 8" sub anyway). I played it for about 45 minutes.

Forget North Korea and Iran. The president's first real international crisis is 4 Somalian pirates holding the captain of a lifeboat hostage. I don't think this is something "meetings" alone are going to fix. I find this incident a little ironic. Come on, Mr. President, Aye! mon then!

Hi,
I'm not sure I'm in the right place....so if not maybe I need some directions instead of advice.

My Denon cd player just started clicking badly...so I need to replace it. I bought my system in the late 80's and haven't thought about audio equipment since Stereo Review magazine went under.

We listen to classical, opera and rock. My wife is a violinist, with a better set of hears than me. We have been pleased with our Adcom preamp/amp and the denon dcd cd player through KEF reference speakers.

Personally, I think he took food off the table for the families of his fellow band members who all look like the sons of Buddy Holly.

I have Niles volume controls installed throughout my house. I was wondering if anyone knows of any wireless volume controls, ones that I can remotely control (turn on as well as control volume). It could be wifi or RF, preferably not IR as I would have to be in the room. Thanks.

I mean, this is no Katrina but WTF, over?

State and federal agencies can't find their own shit. It took a city to do it.

May I blame this on Obama? Pretty please?

And check it out. The owner has to pay for it. Sounds like a bailout solution to me.
