Crossovers, why so few options?
01-27-10: RrolackDoes anyone here use an active crossover with a tube preamp? It seems like the input impedance on most active crossovers is pretty low as compared to tube/SS amps; has this been an issue for you in matching the preamp to the cross...

I agree with you guys, went for the Panasonic TC-65S1 at $2295.00. I went back to BB today and compared the picture again, the less expensive Panasonic is so close it's not worth the extra money for the V10.Funny thing is, after I paid I was speak...

Wonder what performance differences there are between Panasonic TC-65V10, TU 65PZ850U and TC-P65S1? Anyone know? All of these are all 65" but with a big price spread and reviews don't cover the details.

Unsound, I'm seriously thinking the same thing, I hate to spend that much but the 65" is probably more suited to the distance from seating and as someone in this thread wrote, you never wish you had gone smaller.Chazro, Panasonic is rated for 80,0...

Unsound, I understand that recommendation but based on that calculator my current 55" TV just a few feet away from seating position should be between 70" and 77". Mounting above the fireplace, the recommended screen size is between 118" and 125". ...

FLAT TV Panel hidding cords
Vernneal, You posted on my thread about mounting a flat screen above the fire place. Looks like you're working through the same problems. Which Samsung did you go with? Did you buy a regular mount or one of those fancy motorized jobs?

Two HDMI would work, U-verse HDTV box and the Oppo Blue Ray player. There is about 50 foot run from high on the fireplace to my Oppo Blue Ray and the rest of my stereo gear. If I put the U-verse box in with stereo, I could run it and Blue Ray via ...

I just spoke to the son of an Audiogon member who's manager for Best Buy up North.He suggests the Panasonic Plasma for combo of best color, reliability and price. He likes the Samsung but doubts it worth the additional $1000.00 and 3" smaller scre...

Unsound,Front projector would be great except I read they are not good to run continually and this is the main TV. With few exceptions, front projector screens don't do well with light on them and the center of my living room has a skylight that's...

My sincere thanks for all the well thought responses. My five year old Sony Grand Wega has a failing optical block, lots of blue showing at right and bottom with all content. Sony is no help even though countless forums are filled with customer co... 
Too Many Tubes?
Until recently my system required more than 100 tubes to operate and I never had any problems figuring out when something was wrong. Then again, I've used tubes for many years and know what to listen for.Tubes have a job, just like transistors do....

Thorens has made the Thorens Concrete, made of... you guessed it, concrete.I guess that pretty much cements Thorens place in history.
