All dolby is about noise suppression aka in the case of cassettes: tape hiss. Voice freqs are not up in the freq range of tape hiss I don't think. Tom

Hi, I'm listening to an original manufacturer prerecorded cassette audio tape. This is a book on tape. It's all speech--no music. It's labled as having Dolby. When I play it on a tape deck with Dolby B engaged it cuts tape hiss but also quite a bit of the high end of the voice...

A cassette taped labled as Dolby without specifying what type of Dolby, is Dolby B--right?

Hi CBFryman2, What bitrate are you using? Most of my mp3s are at 128mps. I haven't tried any CD/MP3 side by side comparisons yet. Also wondering, how does mp3 stack up against FM Broadcast?

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It is stored in the form of potential. As the potential energy increases your heart surges, adrenaline rushes and your body braces in anticipation. The energy demands to be released. When you choose to release the potential, is now up to you...

Profile AP1040, 80w x4, $150 from Crutchfield and 3yr warrantee. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-kQOQhOmOEr3/cgi-bin/prodview.asp?i=489AP1040&s=0&cc=01 It looks like an awesome deal. Was going to pick one up myself.

What is being lost? It looks to me mostly like highs above 16k.

There are no Walmarts around here and I don't want to get a HU on the cheap. I am willing to pay as much as it takes to get the features I want, perhaps for some features I don't even know about that someone might suggest, and to get a high quality reliable unit that puts out excellent sound...

The least expensive that will do the job. I just shopped again and it looks like the Pioneer DEH-P4800 will do it for $139 at Crutchfield (with shipping and Dodge adapter plate.)I have a Dodge and they throw in the adapter plate.) Maybe I could get some comments on that one? Anyone know...

Sony bashing thread on this forum talked me out of my prior purchase decision so now I need to pick out another HU to buy. It's for an old cargo van I'm going to use to do roofing work. I was thinking of going with: - 4 amped speakers. Maybe components up front. - Powered subwoofer. - MP3...

I was going to buy a Sony CDX-GT400. Because of what has been written in this thread I have changed my mind. I was feeling a bit wary about buying a Sony anyway as I have found their home electronics to be a bit finicky and prone to breakage/failure. OK, so now what should I buy that is...

Where's the crossover in coaxial speakers? I've seen a bunch of different coaxial speakers, but I've never seen any crossover electronics on them.

Hi helotaxi, Why is this bad? I was thinking about doing the same thing because I heard sound coming from the rear was not good.

Hi squeak, How are you going to get the door panel back on? Doesn't the Deadener on the inside make the panel not sit right? And I suppose your're going to cut a hole in it to let the MDF spacer stick through? What do you do with that whole thing sticking out, put some kind of...

Hi excelerater: Could you elaborate on what "*****" about the Basslink? By "more effective" and "smoking" the Basslink, do you mean the setup you recommend will produce tighter, cleaner, more accurate sounding lows that integrate seamlessly with the mids and provide a natural balanced sound...
