Progressive Scanning
Audaibnjad, thanks for the info, it is most enlightening. I was trying to generalize and simplify in my first post. 
THE best subwoofer for 60/40 HT/2CH?
Is everybody sleeping? Don't even think about another sub until you have heard any REL sub first. Nothing in my experience, including the $5000 Aeriel subs can beat the RELs'. The option of wiring them for music (line level), and home theater (wit... 
Cables, Interconnects and More Cables???
I suspect Carl is probably pointing in the right direction, but not having tried MIT Terminators, I must echo Sam by saying that my Harmonic Tech. Pro-9 bi-wire and Pro-11 power cord do offer high end quality at a reasonable price. My Cyberlink Pl... 
Does speaker cable length really matter?
Thanks guys,I have installed the 12' cables and they are breaking in as I write. So far they don't seem to have any negative affects. sam, i'll think about your advice in future applications. Appreciate all the help here. Bye for now. 
8'or 12' speaker cable, any difference?
Hi Albert, Thanks again for your expertise and wisdom. I did write Jim Wang of Harmonic Tech, and he said it should make no signifiant difference, only that breakin takes longer. Carl and Sam were helpful at the other post. I wasn't getting any re... 
Does speaker cable length really matter?
Hi Carl, Sam, Thanks for your thoughts, they helped ease some tension I need to keep my rack on one side of my system for now, forcing me to use longer cables than I would normally use. I hadn't thought of longer interconnects with amp in center, ... 
Digital Coaxial Cable 75 ohms choices
Try the Harmonic Technology Cyberlink series:(copper,silver platinum). Don't fall for the hype or counter hype. They are excellent, but as usual you should try them in your system for synergy. Most on-line dealers will work out a trial for you. My... 
Spkr cbls & IC's-must they be same brand
Hi Carl,P.. mmk, I am considering the Synergistic Research analogue interconnects for CD output and would like to compare them with Harmonic Technology Truthlinks. I have H.Tech. Cables, interconnects and power cords and think it would be interest... 
Sand or shot for speaker stands?
Hi Redkiwi, I set up the stands with the spikes underneath, and heard an immediate improvement. There is a little more air, less of a bloated bass, and slightly better imaging. The difference is definite, but not dramatic. It isn't awesome yet, bu... 
Best Male Singers of the 20th Century
Tubegroover, Al Jolson?, Treyhoss, I think you may enjoy Justin Hayward and Gordon Lightfoot, but "Great Singers of the 20th. Century"... I don't think so. Paul Simon would best be described as a great songwriter and Garfunkle had some truly beaut... 
Sand or shot for speaker stands?
Albert, that is most helpful and sure makes sense. I didn't think of the probability of the stand plus the speaker being top heavy, yet something was bugging me and now I know what it is. I will have to wait a few days in order to find a local sto... 
Sand or shot for speaker stands?
Albert, When you mix the shot and the sand, do you put the shot in first and then the sand, or do you alternate with a little of each? 
Sand or shot for speaker stands?
Redkiwi, I want to be clear that I am asking about spikes into the floor instead of rubber feet. The 805's have an option of suspending the speaker itself on a type of small spike or mounting it to the stand with 2 screws through the plate that th... 
B&&W 802 Set Up In A Small Room
Sorry to hear about the difficulties with the 802's and 804's. I just bought a pair of 805's on Friday and wonder if anyone has any suggestions regarding their placement in a 12 X 20 room. This is for 50% home theater & 50% music.I use a REL S... 
New B&W 805's. Need any advice.
Thanks Pug, After posting I noticed that the bottom of my 805's have 2 holes pre drilled for insertion of a screw through the stand and into the speaker. This would prevent me from accidently knocking the speaker off the stand, and stabilize the s...
