| Favorite HT demo scene from a movie? The chase scene in "Gone in 60 Seconds" with the Mustang and the BMW 540. It really rocks. I think it's Chapter 18. | |
| US 2x110 volt 60Hz the same as 220Volt 50Hz I agree with Sndsel above. He is right on with his response. The only thing that I would add is that transformers usually are designed to work at a certain frequency (such as 50hz) and if you reduce the frequency (to lower than 50hz), then the hys... | |
| Optical or Coax digital ouput from DVD to Receiver I'm probably gonna take some heat from other "goners" but I recommend (and so does Home Theater Magazine) using the coax for the CD and the toslink for the DVD.Also, hook up the analog outputs of the CD player and compare the sound quality of the ... | |
| Opinions on old B&W's I guess your question begs a question...are you bargain hunting or are you looking to buy your last pair of speakers for a while? The pair of B&W 802's for $500 is a fairly good deal if cabinets and drivers are in good shape. Will the seller l... | |
| Suggestions on replacement AV processor... Since you seem to be a Cary kind of guy, how about the newP-7 Surround Sound Processor/Preamplifier 7.1 SpecificationsThe P-7 design is a fully 24 bit/96 kHz circuit with the Motorola 5636 DSP chip. It uses discrete analog to digital and digital t... | |
| rowland concentra Get the serial number and call or email Jeff Rowland Design Group to find out what upgrades are available and what they cost. I think the phono board can be added at the factory.I don't think that there is any real risk if it works and the price i... | |
| Balanced or Unbalanced? 's up Krelldog, Look, if you are going to go around being "the Krelldog", you have got to get this technical stuff down. I suggest you buy "The Complete Guide to High End Audio" by Robert Harley. It will provide the answers to questions like these... | |
| What is causing my speaker hum? I suspect that it is a ground loop caused by your cable television. If your Denon receiver is connected to a VCR or TV, then it is usually the cause of the hum. To find out for sure, disconnect and unplug everything from your receiver...all inputs... | |
| Diana Krall New CD Do you really have 3 chihuahuas? If so, why? And if not why do you call yourself 3chihuahuas? I purchased the CD today and listened to it this afternoon and evening...it's not her best. Her song selection is mediocre at best..."S' Wonderful" and "... | |
| What is a redbook CD? Yo Bigwavedave, The Dutch giant Phillips has a whole rainbow of colors that set forth the standards for digital disks:Red Book Compact = Disc Digital Audio Yellow Book = CD-ROM & CD-ROM XA Green Book = CD-i specification Orange Book = CD-R, CD... | |
| Any speaker cable's sound quality just blown you away? One speaker cable is not going to be "magic" for all systems. Read Dick Olsher's Tip #22 "In persuit of the perfect conductor" at: http://www.blackdahlia.com/tipindex/tip_25/tip_25.htmlWhile there always seems to be an inappropriate amount of cont... | |
| What's phase 0 degree - 180 degree? Yo Worldcup86, Phase in simple terms is the direction a driver cone is moving relative to the electrical signal being sent to it. In a perfect world, all the drivers in a speaker system would move out at the same time and in at the same time. That... | |
| Best used 5 channels amp. for both music and movies I think that the Jeff Rowland MC-6 would go at the top of the list, followed by the EAD Powermaster 2000/8000/9000 and the Krell KAV1500. I wouldn't include the Sunfire Cinema Sig unless it's modified. They aren't that wonderful for 2 channel. Whi... | |
| Power cord for Rowland Model 10? I use a Purist Audio Dominus power cord on my Rowland Model 1 and love it. It cost me more than the Model 1 (I bought it used...the Dominus was new). It didn't sound anything like what I expected. I expected more bass and bigger dynamics. But inst... | |
| the best of five channel amp.... Yo Theater1, You might like the Krell KAV500. Since they are now discontinued, they are going for less than half of the $4500 to $5000 they sold for new. They were only one of 2 five channel amps to earn a Stereophile Guide to Home Theater AAA rat... |
