1st sound vs. placette?
No remote on First Sound;I have one. I would give the edge to the FS.--- Placette is more famous for their passive units;not sure where their active stands 
Beattles song question
Ow'bout Star Search?? Thanks for the lyrics. 
Which is a good $500 cable for bass biamping ?
Try to find Tara Labs--master reference-- The first gen is kinda like a saw blade in 'bend-ability'; but besides being cheap it is great in this area. 
proper way to a/b amps
Yo,Jeffie; Best to turn everything off when switching amps and pre's. Everybody's hearing is different. For me I would listen to one setup for a full day say 6 hrs--- Then 2/3 hrs of the same, the next day. Then the other setup; likewise. AND leav... 
How to hook up Denon DVD 3800 to B&K 307
No wisdome here(duh?)The digital cable from the transport goes to the dig.input of the processor.This is for movies. Those other outputs work best for sacd/ dvd-a.---Ok, I read that in the rags;I don't own the equipment. If I had the options; I'd ... 
Beattles song question
Thanks; you guys are all too smart for me. Any listeners in LA,Ca? I listen to 101.1 near 24/7. Love those Beattles weekends. Been a while since they had one. Love that Brian(last name) in the AM. 
Beattles song question
Thanks,Rich. I was in Cosco the other day and they had 8/10 cds by the lads. I read the songs description on each and couldn't find it. But;I obviouslly missed it 'cause HD's Night was there. On the Buckinghams they were 'kind of a drag' ?? I don'...

What's the correct plug for 20Amp power cord?
What determines 20 amp is the wire from the box to the outlet.i.e. 20amp requires 12 ga. wire/ 15amp is 14 ga. Be sure the value for the breaker controling that outlet is 20 amps. Plug a radio in that outlet,have it playing. Then go to the pannel.... 
How do you know when to use ANALOG vs DIGITAL?
Sean;A guy whom would ask such a question doesn't understand much of what you say. It reminds me of asking someone what time it is; and they tell you how to make a clock.---You need to 'dumb-down' your response. To be more to the point; in terms '... 
Best DVD Player $1000-$2000
Another vote for the Arcam fmj27--the one I own. About 14/15 used. Some guy wants 21 for his; an optimist no doubt. 
Projector Screens - novice needs help
If you wanted to go-cheap;go to Home Depot and pick up a white/room-darkening window shade. The 'room darkening' is better than the 'light filtering' Roll up feature./ pick your size;mount it on the wall.For about 35bucks;you'll be amazed.I used o...

Best Orchestral Film Scores
For me Ennio Morricone's "Once Upon A Time In America" tops my list. I also own the cd. Last night I watched "Under The Tuscan Sun",and thought this could have been so much 'more' had he done the score. I also love "Melana". This poor guy probably...
