I'm hoping someone can point me to a good resource for a "needledrop" beginner. I want to transfer my vinyl records to audio DVD, at 24-bit/96 kHz resolution, or even higher resolution using DVD-A. I started upgrading my audio system last year, but I seem to be throwing money away on items that...

Earlier this year, I purchased an Integra DTR-30.3 receiver and an Oppo BDP-93, and connected them via HDMI. I already owned a number of SACDs and DVD-As, so high-resolution processing was important to me. However, I quickly noticed that some discs sounded great, while others sound flat and...

Does anyone know of any PC software, free or low-cost preferably, that I can use to transfer WAV and FLAC music files to DVD, preferably in the 96/24 format? I have started to transfer LPs to WAV files, and have also bought some HD downloads that I would like to be able to play on my DVD player...

This may seem like an odd question (and totally subjective), but I'm going to ask anyway: How do 5.1 surround mixes of your favorite albums sound to you? Let me explain. I have had many 5.1 mixes on SACD, DVD-A, and DVD, mostly rock and pop, over the years. Most mixes seemed to have most of the...

I purchased the Panasonic TC-P65VT30 plasma display about a month and a half ago, and until now have been knocked out by its picture quality. However, when I turned it on today, I found a black band running from the top to the bottom of the picture, about three quarters of the way across the...

I recently bought an Integra DTR-30.3 receiver to replace my Yamaha RX-V663. I had been using an Oppo DV-980H for playback of my DVD-As and SACDs, although I recently upgraded to the Oppo BDP-93. I use the HDMI connections. Everything played fine with the Yamaha receiver. However, when...

I've been upgrading my home theater system, and up until now had been using inexpensive Sony speakers for my 5.1 set-up. A friend of mine, who works at a store that specializes in custom stereo and home theater installations, suggested I come in and take a listen to the new satellite speaker...

I know nothing beyond the basics of my 32GB iPod Touch and iTunes, so I'm hoping someone here can help me with a problem I've been having lately. Something seems to be eating away at the storage capacity of my iPod, and I can't figure out what it is, or how to stop it. I noticed a couple of...

Just picked this disc up this afternoon from Best Buy (it's exclusive there for now). I'd really been looking forward to this since I am a big Elton fan, but unable to make it to Vegas for this particular show. But I have to say that, at first viewing, I'm disappointed. The performance itself...

Okay, I hope I don't sound like an idiot here, but I've spent most of the evening trying unsuccessfully to google an answer, so I hope someone here can help me out. This week I finally picked up a receiver with HDMI inputs (Yamaha RX-V663) so I could fully enjoy the sound from my BD and...

I hope someone more knowledgable than myself can help me with this problem. I picked up an HD-A2 earlier this week and have been enjoying it very much. However, I have noticed that sometimes when I'm watching an upconverted SD, I get a strange effect. Every once in a while, during a cut from one...

I have a question regarding the KOYAANISQATSI DVD-A that I hope someone here can answer. The packaging clearly states that it has surround AND stereo high-resolution tracks, but my player only presents the menu for the surround tracks. Is anyone here able to access stereo tracks on their...

I've been playing with my new HD-A1 for the past week, and for the most part I've been very happy with it. However, I encountered an odd problem today that I haven't seen addressed here before, although I haven't read every thread on the forum. If this has been brought up before, I apologize and...

Hi, all -- I finally picked up an HD-A1 for myself tonight after reading all of the comments here. I'm still playing around with it, but so far I'm impressed. I read in another thread that the CD playback circuitry was on the level of many high-end CD players, which was another reason that...

I've had a problem develop with my Sony XBR960 this past week, and I'm hoping someone has a suggestion that might solve it. Whenever I turn the TV power off, I lose my channel memory. When I turn it back on, the channel memory is cleared, and I have to reprogram all of the channels. I...

I'm having trouble with the picture quality on my Sony 34XBR960 when using a VCR. I'm normally good at troubleshooting problems, but this one has me completely stumped. I hope someone here has a suggestion that might help. Shortly after purchasing the Sony HDTV, I noticed an intermittent...
