    Is 4K really better than HD TV or Blu-ray video?

    That is exactly the same arguement a friend used twenty odd years ago when we were watching a film on his B&O 28" CRT TV. He now has one of the last Pioneer Kuro 50" Plasma TVs but has an open mind to something better.

    Stereo - Ceiling Speakers?

    I have to agree with Madwiser, and add that "stereo" is not intended as if it is coing from everywhere but precise points between the speakers. There are good ceiling speakers out there but not great ones...

    Samsung ending plasma production by the end of this year with LG to follow

    `I guess that people who are more discerning will be bothered with "their" lack of choice for something better.

    How can CDs be lossless?

    Less smart TV?

    I remember in the old days of the CRT TV and monitors. I was once given a studio calibrated 'Barco' monitor (Not to be confused with Beko rubbish). It was just a plain monitor with a plethora of aftermarket BNC input and output sockets on the back and no audio. When coupled to a good source it...

    WHARFEDALE DIAMOND 8.2 TO DENON PMA 250SE - HELP

    I agree about the tape loop quandary, reason for the coax is that I assumed long runs, and even though the input impedance is likely to be low I have not access to the information. Therefore it is a safe assumption to make and assume that it could be high, a low capacitance cable makes sense...

    WHARFEDALE DIAMOND 8.2 TO DENON PMA 250SE - HELP

    1st congratulations on owning some of the most undervalued active bargain loudspeakers out there! The answer to your qandary is relatively simple. The "Tape Out" phono sockets on your Denon marked PB feed the two loudspeakers L&R. All you need are two low capacitance phono leads, the white...

    Tone Controls

    We are talking Hi-Fi I assume. Reproducing the ORIGINAL sound as recorded are we not? That is the original definition I know of. The very instant you introduce tone controls you also include ‘Group Delay[/b]’ that by definition can only introduce- distortions and maim transient response...
