How can I improve cableTV audio?
What you would be looking for is an older box. The rf screw connector cable goes into the cable box,as usual.(Cable-in) Then out of the box you run a coax to a 2ch dac. Years ago most cable company boxes had a coax-out. In fact I go back to the dm... 
How can I improve cableTV audio?
While you can route the audio through a vcr---that method isn't any better than just using the box's analog straight to a 2ch pre. The goods are there--you just need to keep it digital--to a quaity 2 ch. dac. This refers to the older non DD / but ... 
How can I improve cableTV audio?
Yup Reubent nailed it. The best thing is to get an older box where the output is 44.1 or 48----Then hook that to a 2ch dac.----I have 2 direct boxes--one each. (DD and 48hrtz) 
Anyone pay 1st price, Even if it's fair ? Poll
Just so we know--and depending on your Paypal account the fee is over 3%. One % more ain't quite "rip-off" status. (A note for our penny pinching buyers.) 
Newbie needs Help
Just a guess but you may have to go into the menu to activate record-out.---I don't own one of these so I'm just guessing. I do know, in an older unit,this feature would be active full time.---Don't 'cha just 'new-tech'? 
ebay vs audiogon
Speaking of paypal fees; how many times do you see an item for a hundred or so that also have obo--paypal add 3%.???? 
Question about a TV that has snow in the pic
You don't mention if the snow is there when watching dvds--- If it is---seems like it's time for 'tv-heaven' 12 years of service is pretty good. 
Any validity to cryo'd tubes in phono stage?
I for one think so. I paid big bucks and thought it better than paying almost as much, from a private seller. 
Help -Gallo Nucleus Speakers-binding post problem
Doubtful a claim to Fedex would yeild any good result.---as in; not worth the effort. You'll only waste your time and become more angry. I expect Gallo should take better care of you. I doubt your speaker is the first-ever, with this problem. 
Velodyne DD-series subwoofer
Expect the police soon; thereafter. Maybe you have a movie they haven't seen?--This is a joke,right????? 
Any Audiophile recording of The Planets?
Years ago on public radio / on Sat.am / they would select a composition-- they would start out with 5 or so versions. They would play say 3-4 mins. of the first movement by each conductor; drop one version off and explain the differences for each.... 
What are the loopholes of sending COD to nonmemb.
See if you can use Fedex cod.-- You'll get the Money the next day.PS, I wouldn't do a cod for anybody with no feedback,period.---Take your chances if you must--but you might point out 'your' feedback record and let him take the chance bassed on th... 
Any Audiophile recording of The Planets?
Well-- I personally find, on many pieces, the first one I like,and get used to, is my reference.---Venus by Previn has no equal. While I can enjoy an audiophile version, it's regular version I go back to. I think Previn is the 80s/90s Riner. 
"They simply don't make them like this anymore"
That sounds like the lingo someone uses to describe an older piece / long past its prime--that they are trying to unload.---(For way to much,I might add.) 
Sim2 HT300 E vs Marantz VP 12S4 or others??
I have the 300extra-h model,. The h at the end means I have hdmi;and yes it works. No issues at all and that is more than can be said for some of these big buck projectors---(Light bulb flicker on some Marantz models) 'Love the 8000 hr bulb.--So, ...
