| Tuner Recommendation for New York City While I don't live in NYC, I do live in Chicago and expect we have similar problems. I recently upgraded to a Fanfare FT-1A from a very good Sony ES tuner. The Fanfare is much better for multipath problems and has balanced out. The balanced out wa... | |
| Has anyone hooked satellite radio to their system? Sugarbrie, Are you asking about music via our satellite dishes (DSS or Dishnetwork) or are you referring to XFM? I took your question, when mentioning adapters, to mean the XFM type systems that go from car to home. If that IS what you mean, I am ... | |
| Affordable TurnTable shoot-out..... For under $1K, look at the Sumiko Perspective. Usually can be found new discounted down to $750-800. It has a good suspension, something many others in this price range often lack. As with all table/arm combos, the cartridge selection is important... | |
| Dented Tweeter? If it is a Vifa tweeter-- Most have replacable diaphragms. You should be able to disassemble the tweeter and just gently push the dome back out and reassemble the driver.Madisound or Parts Express have very good websites. You can match up the driv... | |
| I can't believe there is no difference Gunbunny, Another possibility is that your Yamaha receiver does all processsing and switching in the Digital domain. If it takes all of its inputs (analog or otherwise)and puts them through its A/D converter does all processing and then through th... | |
| TIVO and Ultimate TV. Any recommendations? Having a Replay, Dish PVR, and a Tivo with the latest software, I can wholeheartedly recommend a Tivo for features and the PVR for sound quality and picture. There is no category I can recommend the Replay for except maybe price if you can find a ... | |
| Twin lead or coax for downlead from FM antenna? Swampwalker,I suggest using the best 75 ohm cable you're willing to afford for the down lead. At the antenna, use a 300-75 ohm balun that has a "weather-proof" boot on it. You may want to also use a sealant to keep the moisture out. This will give... | |
| Has anyone heard "The Grove" yet???? The other units are called Micro Groove and Micro Groove Plus. There is a review in the Oct/Nov issue of THE ABSOLUTE SOUND. Here is the review:http://www.besthifiintheworld.com/cgi-bin/frames?p=reviews/groove132.html&r=groove132.html&sid=... | |
| Simply Vinyl...why the bum rap? Simply Vinyl's(SV)recodings are hit and miss. We need to generate a list of the good ones (and the bad.) If we were to purchase the good ones, perhaps SV would see that a good recording from a proper source will be rewarded and will be motivated t... | |
| Sony DVD 7700 or Sony 9000es? Having had a 7000, 7700, and now a 9000. I can say without a doubt, the 9000 is much better in everyway. I am not sure how anyone can call the 9000es a lightweight (physically or metaphorically), as it is a very good performing, well-built unit. T... | |

| Lexicon 3.1 vs 4.0 Ken, there are significant functional differences between the two software versions. DD-EX and DTS-ES were added as well as a much better remote. I don't think the upgrade will cost $400, though. It was $100 initially, and approx $250(?)later. The... | |
| Antenna cable Radioshack also has quad shielded RG6. I recently purchased a 50 ft length preterminated to do a Dish Network install at my Mother's. $25 or so for a 50 ft length. There was also 100 ft and 25 ft preterminated lengths. Best regards, Aaron | |
| Looking for Chinese drums CDs Thank you for the info. I have now ordered a few. It seems the secret was to have known Yim Hok-Man's name. Thank You again, Aaron | |
| Any speaker cable's sound quality just blown you away? I agree with sdcampbell that the best cable should be the cable that seems to be the most neutral. To me that would be the cable that doesn't lose what I'm looking for or add what another cable does. My personal favorite is the Synergistic Researc... |
