| Any Disadvantage Using DVI-HDMI Adapters? Shadorne, I changed projector to one using HDMI; I had an installed DVI-D cable in the wall/ceiling, so I used a couple DVI-D to HDMI adapters to connect the projector and Oppo. Works perfectly. | |
| Any Disadvantage Using DVI-HDMI Adapters? I changed projectors and went to an Oppo 970HD dvd upscaling player. I found that my previously installed DVD cable neeeded an adapter to HDMI. I also obtained it from Monoprice.com and have been thrilled with reslult! Absolutely no issues. | |
| Decoupling monitors from a dresser? How loud do you plan on playing these things if "vibrations" are a concern?! There is another way to go, mounting them on the wall. Of course, you will need to repair the wall prior to leaving or potentially incur loss of renter's deposit. The wal... | |
| Was just Listening to Dan Fogelberg... Thanks all! I appreciate the leads! As my system has gotten more high end over the years I find that I'm listening to more vocals. I know there's dozens of superb artists to suit anyone's taste - it's just a matter of finding them. I'm also open t... | |
| What Are They Talking About? Yes, there is a secred code or "audiophile language" which is learned through listening. When they say, "to be powered by the Energizer Bunny," they mean battery powered preamps. If they would have said, "the sound is long lasting, powerful, depen... | |
| Ever hear a power cable make a huge difference? Power cable make a huge difference? Yes. Easily. | |
| I've Fallen in Love With My Mistress Had to laugh, I used to think those guys with lawn tractors were wusses. I pushed my mower without rear or front wheel drive (I was the drive!) for ten years cutting on a decent hill. Wusses... A guy gets a riding lawn mower right next door, cutti... | |
| Dust...It's Killing Me "...Dust in the wind. All we are is dust in the wind..." KansasDon't let it bother you; we'll all be contributing big time soon enough. | |
| Combining different speaker cables for bi-wiring? There can be a surprising degree of difference in sound from one cable manufacturer's product to the next. I have used braided, networked, flat, etc. speaker cables and IC's. It is possible to achieve a very pleasing sound using combinations of ca... | |
| Rega Saturn. Is it really a giant killer? You can read my review of the Saturn on Dagogo.com | |
| What are your thoughts on hybrid amplifiers? I'm one of about three people in the world who are running twin Pathos Classic One MKII (I believe you can use any of the Classic Ones to do this, but on first version must open up the bottom to switch to mono) tube hybrid integrateds bridged to m... | |
| HDMI to DVI Cable I just upgraded projector from Panasonic PTL-300U (which is only high def compatable) to Panasonic PT-AE900U (which is high def). I'm using a DVI-D cable with DVI-D terminations on both ends. I am using two DVI-D female to HDMI male connectors, pu... | |
| Does the"quality" of jumpers affect the sound? Dave is absolutely right; in systems with enough finesse to reproduce sound delicately the changes between jumpers and wiring is detectable. Just yesterday I replaced the power cord on my Rega Saturn cdp with an MIT Oracle and the difference was e... | |

| Dimmer noise Just today I had to deal with this very issue. I have an HT with dedicated circuits for audio, separate from lights. One of my 2" halogen can light bulbs burnt out. I went to look for a replacement and with no sales, they were $10@! No way was I g... |
