Not quite.  It depends on the model.  The Definitive Technology BP-20's
cost $1500/pair.  The Mirage M-7 (or is it M-7si?) cost $1300/pair.  The
old Mirage M-5 used to cost $1500/pair, and the new M-5si cost $1800/pair.

Subject: To the guy who flamed Infinity
Organization: University Of Alberta, Edmonton Canada

After reading a lengthy flame of Infinity which recently appeared here,
I got the distinct feeling that the guy had no idea what he was talking
about.

If the speakers in question were of the SM series, I would have to
agree that they sound bad.  No worse than the usual electronics superstore
speakers, but decidedly low-fi.

If they were of the RS series made AFTER Harmon International acquired
Infinity, I would have to agree that they sound bad.  They look dopey
too.

If they were anything else, I would whole-heartedly disagree. I bought
a set of RS-4001's a number of years back. and they sound very nice. A
little on the bright side, but very nice.  The bass is tight and
well-defined (these are all acoustic suspension), and the imaging is fine
(after extensive fiddling with the dials on the back). They binding
posts are too small, but no major complaints.
I would prefer the 6001's but I didn't have that kind of money when I
bought them. I like the Kappa series (the old models.  There's a new
ported one I haven't heard).

If your buddy bought them from a local junk-monger, and took them to a dance,
they are probably SM-82's or a closely related unit.  They're not good.

Go listen to an Infinity Beta equipped system.

8 mm affords 3 different ways of recording sound:  AFM is the standard
method. It's just the same as VHS Hi-Fi; the audio is recorded under the
video. 

The second method is 32kHz, 8-bit nonlinear coded PCM digital.  This is
recorded on the 1st 6th of the video track.  As a result it can be
replaced without affecting the picture.

The 3rd method is like the 2nd, except it's 48kHz, 16-bit linear, just
like a CD.  It needs Hi8 tape because of the increased bandwidth.  This
scheme is available only in Japan--unfortunately.  

CD quality digital audio is also available for S-VHS, also only in
Japan.  

It appears that anything that might upset the RIAA just never makes it

Subject: B&K amp and pre-amp Pricing?
Organization: Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs NY
Date: Sat, 7 Nov 1992 07:21:55 GMT

I've spent some time listening to amps and pre-amps that come in the
$1000 price range (together, not each!) and am presently borrowing a
B&K CS-117 and ST-120.  I really prefered the open sound of the
Pro10MC Sonata, but am not currently able to afford it.  I have yet to
hear the ST-120 alongside the ST-140, but I think I will probably get
the 140 if I decide to buy the B&K equiptment.

So, the question is this.  The dealer here has a policy on their
higher quality electronics whereby I can purchase the equiptment and
bring it back anytime within one year for credit toward more expensive
equiptment.  Note that I cannot trade in an amp and preamp toward
purchase of just one piece of equiptment (ie. 1 to 1 trades only)...
and they then sell the equiptment as used for some discount (not much
though).  Anyway, the policy sounds great to me as I would love to
upgrade every so often, BUT, their prices are not all that great to
begin with.  How much do dealers generally sell this stuff for?  This
one sells at list price minus very little.  The preamp was $320 and
the amp was $341... neither is ballanced.  

I really like the idea of trading in the CS-117 for a ProMC in the
future, but would I be better off just getting the equiptment from a
reputable mail order retailer and selling it when I decide to upgrade?
This is definitely a bit of a hastle, but is it worth it?

Thanks again for your help...

The CD's are often pressed (right term?) by the mail order club, using 
a leased factory.  Often the liner notes from a club CD are different than
those printed by the original recording company.

I have ordered CD's from Columbia House and have seen differences, including
slightly different labelling on the CD itself.  I noticed this because I had
to replace my CD's after a theft.

So in general, if you think there is a difference in CD's from different 
factories, there may indeed be a difference between club CD's and normal ones.

Hey folks.  Does anybody want to answer the original question with respect

NeXT or the Indigo.  I, for one, would prefer that this NOT turn into a
comparison of the different platforms, but instead that someone who knows
about the latest AES/EBU-type boards for the pc speak up with information.

I thought that the introduction of all those Crystal Semiconductor chips 
allowing one-chip (approx) interfaces between DSP's and DATs would give 
rise to a number of cheap DSP boards (for the pc) with AES/EBU-type interfaces.
I don't know the latest info on such boards.  Anybody got the scoop on
stuff from TurtleBeach or Spectral Synthesis?  Last i heard, none of their
products seemed wonderful and affordable.  And Ariel's stuff seemed wonderful 
although the prices seemed too high by at least a factor of 2.

When they do something that stupid they're asking for it to be broken.
Perhaps the DAT manufacturers deliberately made SCMS worse than it needed to
be just so that the necessary little black boxes will proliferate, and the
SCMS will simply 'cease to exist' in a virtual sense once supply and demand
has taken care of things. And perhaps timed perfectly for when DAT comes
into its own, like PCs did when people realised how easy it was to copy
software _especially_ when there was the additional excitement of using your

impossible in the manufacturing industry!

Defeating SCMS seems pretty simple to me - remember your first "Hi there"

years to come people will have little competitions thinking up the most
obscure ways to defeat SCMS. Hey, a mechanical design (cogs and all) would

 1s requires about 256KB. Thus 3s requires 768KB (roughly 1MB). Does any

While I disagree with Peter's coupling stereo and all the world's
problems, I must agree that a new group, where it was UNDERSTOOD
that low-fi and mid-fi were appropriate discussions, and where
it was also understood that luddite and/or elitist rampages,
insult, denegration, and such were unwelcome, would be most 
appropriate.  

Were I to want to build up a mid-fi system, I know what this group
would do.  It would start denegrating, insulting, and demeaning
each any every proposed component as well as the posters who
suggested them.

Then, we could leave this newsgroup to the people who feel
a need for luddism or pseudo-science, and those (perhaps
like me) who feel some need to uphold trvth in these
troubled times.

I hate to be fussy but, really, a transistor is just an IC that happens
to contain only one transistor.

Now, it's true that the thermal design of a lot of consumer electronics
stresses the components so as to reduce reliability and durability,
presumably in an effort to keep costs down.  However, a discrete
transistor can surely be stressed as much as an IC.  Therefore specifying
that you want "transistors not ICs" when you buy something isn't likely
to do much for you.  Assuming the salesperson even knows (much less
