    3d bly ray problems

    Can you connect the bluray player direct to the tv? Bypassing the amplifier. This will prove if its the Yamaha causing the problem.

    Panasonic Television Help and Advice

    Maybe between Panasonic's active glasses....but moving from active to passive display as in the DT65. They will definitely be the "wrong" glasses. I think that is poor advice. How do you decide which TV looks the best as you can't view the TV's on the Internet. I am making an assumption that...

    High freq of speaker spec more than 20.000 hz. Does it do any good?

    Could it not be possible that a frequency (say 36K) above the range of hearing that is a multiple of a frequency (say12K) within the hearing range could add amplitude to the lower frequency if it was in phase?

    Squeezebox App not compatible with IOS 6 on Ipad

    I have closed the program and switched off iPad and restarted. The app appears to be stuck on the last track I played before the update. If I select a new track it will play the new track but if you press any control to skip track or pause. The screen jumps back to the original track and the...

    Squeezebox App not compatible with IOS 6 on Ipad

    Is anybody using the Logitech Squeezebox App on the Ipad with Ios 6. Since the update which I did at the weekend on the Ipad the app does not function correctly. Is this unique to me or does it affect all users?

    Covers that are better than the original

    +1 Johnny Cash - Hurt Imelda May - Tainted Love. Which is way better than Softcell's version. But Gloria Jones's original gives it a close run. We will not mention Marilyn Manson's attempt.

    Disagree - provided you adhere to the manufacturers service schedule.

    Best order to buy Hi-fi

    Very true but not always for the better. In my experience if the source and signal are poor decent speakers will only exaggerate any short falls of the source and amplifier.

    CA Stream Magic vs Logitech squeeze box??

    I auditioned a number of streamers including SBT, NP30, Pioneer N50 and the stream magic 6. For a one box solution I preferred the presentation of the stream magic 6 which stands head and shoulders above the others. I also auditioned the NP30 and SBT with a dacmagic. The NP30/dacmagic combo...

    Choice of NAS drive?

    I think that should read can. For simplicity WD mybook is great plus very easy to set up and very quiet in use. Only draw back is that they do not natively support Logitech Media Server but that would only be a concern if you are planning to use a Squeezebox streamer etc.

    Faulty DACMagic - What would you expect?

    If I were you I would read up on the citizens advice website to find out what you are entitled. I always thought that as you purchased the goods from a retailer your contract lies with them not the manufacturer. They seem to be acting acordingly with an offer of a full refund and a discount on...

    Can you hear the different heights of instruments or vocals in your soundstage?

    Is it not possible to use a technique similar to the binaural bbc trial where they created convincing surround sound using only stereo headphones. The principle was that we only have two ears and distinguish where a sound is originating from by the delay in of hearing it in one ear to the other...

    New DAC or SBT

    My experience is that yes the a CA dacmagic2 does not give any improvement over the SBT dac. However connect CA dacmagic2 to my oppo93 to stream music provides a noticable improvement in presentation over the SBT. This leads my to think that the dac in the SBT is good but performance is limited...
