    Dolby pro logic vs true 5.1

    I’ve got an older pioneer elite vsx-99 that I fell in love with. I tried to get the ac3 to work through a few hdmi to coaxial adapters with no luck. There’s no toslink input. There’s no individual inputs for each channel. I’ve come to the conclusion that since there’s no true ac-3 converters out...

    Pioneer CT-F4242 producing very loud 14kHz tone through speakers

    Hi everyone. I just picked up a Pioneer CT-F4242 cassette deck from Facebook marketplace for a great price. It’s in very good physical condition and the belts were in sufficient shape for me to give it a cursory test. To my delight, everything seems to be working. Play, pause, FF and RW...

    WM/FX walkman plays poorly — by design?

    I have collected seven WM/FX players: three basic FX101 with single direction play and no Dolby, and four machines with auto-reverse and Dolby: (2) FX315, (1) FX425, (1) FX407. I understand that this is a family of cheap plasticky players that were manufactured in hundreds of thousands if not...

    Laserdisc's CX audio vs PCM sound.

    What were the main differences? I know CX was analog and PCM is digital but did they have the same frequency response? A buddy of mine once told me that older laserdisc sound really sucked without having PCM, Dolby or DTS sound.
