Where can I find replacement Velodyne HGS Sub amp
I have the HGS 18 and have had amp failures. Simply unscrew the ten or so screws and remove the connecting wiring, put it in a box with some popcorn styrofoam and send it to Velodyne. As I remember the cost was 250.00 for a new replacement. I leav... 
s video cable
Well, here goes! I believe S cables split the video signals into chroma and luminence signals. The result is better color rendition and clarity. Composite RCA is less desirable in that the whole video signal is lumped together. COMPONENT rca cable...

power for Thiel 3.5's
I own a pair of 3.5's and as you know they need an amp that can deal with their first order crossover and impedance curve. The amps you mention are good ones. I have found Classe amps to be a good sound match to the thiels. The CA 300 can be had f... 
Biwire Speaker Question
Didn't see a mention of this, but I have heard the reason for bi-wiring is not to increase the guage of wiring but to keep innercable frequency interference to a minimum. When a signal from your amp goes to the speaker it makes the speaker move. W...

Can CLASSE Amps Drive.......
I have a CAV 500 which has been a very reliable piece in my home theater. I have 3 CA 400's as well. They sound great and seem able to drive almost any load. They drive Thiels which can present a challenge to lesser amps. Anyway, in my dealings wi...

Classe Audio CA400 or Pass Labs X250
Dbld:Thank you, thank you very much. I'll be here all week, stick around for the 10 O'clock show and don't forget to tip your waitress on your way out. 
Classe Audio CA400 or Pass Labs X250
I own 3 CA 400's. As a stereo amp they exhibit many of the qualities of tube amps. They're warm, tight, have silky highs and give the listener the impression of limitless power. The bottom end is controlled and capable of a lot of reserve capacity... 
Best cabling for Samsung DLP TV
Better Cables.COM makes an HDMI cable and a two-in, one-out HDMI switcher with a remote. Your Samsung may only have one HDMI input. Tough luck if you plan to use a dish with HDMI out and a dvd player with HDMI out. Their switcher comes with two HD... 
newbie needs to know what next...
Hi Newbie:Better Cables is a company that makes reasonably priced interconnects. IMO a significant step up from Monster and certainly light years ahead of the ones provided with your components. Assuming your receiver has 5.1 capability, a center ... 
Hooking up additional amps
Bi and Tri wiring is different than bi or tri amping.In bi amping, for example, the signal from the pre amp goes to an electronic cross-over then out to the amps and then to the woofer or tweeter. In bi wiring the crossover is in the speaker and a... 
Should i cross speakers over to "small"?
A different angle...With all the speakers reproducing full range bass, woofers are in many places in the room. Standing waves and cancellations you didn't plan on may become evident. With all the bass coming from one location (the Sub) it's possib...
