| Help with integrating Internet Cable and Directtv You can split a DirecTV coax, but it requires something called a multiswitch; you can't use a normal coax splitter and simply feed two receivers--it has something to do with odd/even transponders and a signal going back from the receiver box to th... | |
| Bigger is Better... I think the Fujitsus and Pannys both get quite high marks for PQ--definitely second the recommendation regarding the "golden eyes" of the AVSForum and their discussions. I won't buy anything video related w/o their blessing...After looking a bit, ... | |
| PC to DAC to PreAmp dividox, I'm not a fan of spending a lot on a soundcard. The environment inside a computer doesn't strike me as being a good one for digital to analog signal processing.Instead, for my Windows XP Box, I use an Edirol UX-1D (I think that is the num... | |
| Anyone heard of DK design group? I want to say, for some reason, that its the same folks that used to be White Audio Labs. I seem to recall that they made a very highly rated little SS 50W mono amp...My brain plays funny games on me sometimes tho'. | |
| What's on your reading list? Florida Roadkill was a fun read. Frankly all of that series is great airplane fodder.While modern fiction is my normal fare, I seem to have taken a detour into Jeffrey Steingarten's world, having just polished off _It Must Have Been Something I At... | |
| Can Anyone Please Walk Me Through This? UV, we may be in violent agreement. I seriously doubt Dibrom was opining to people in the same category, in terms of critical listening and in terms of marginal value, as most of the people in this forum. You are talking to an audience that feels ... | |
| How do you check for damaged wire in walls? HELP I'm not sure what you mean you have "lost" the same channel on the amp? Blown fuse? Sounds cuts out? I'm also not sure what you mean resistance test, did you measure each strand, or short the amp or speaker ends and test the leads on the other sid... | |
| Can Anyone Please Walk Me Through This? I don't think anyone is, or should, argue that mp3s are the equal of WAV files when it comes to quality. The point I would make is that some mp3s aren't equal to other mp3s when it comes to quality. Even my non-audiophile mother is going to be abl... | |
| Can Anyone Please Walk Me Through This? Perhaps I'm dense, but I'm not twigging here on the issue... Why not just rip to WAV files using EAC and transfer those to the iPod if you are that worried about audio quality, or is the issue there that WAV files don't have ID tags and therefore ... | |

| Digital Cable Vs satelite Eh, sadly, at this stage, on demand is SD only. I expect the DVR HD boxes relatively soon--I'm in Northern Virginia and they have launched in DC. Given the content available in HD, being able to timeshift would be nice indeed.HRcapers, DirecTV doe... | |
| Digital Cable Vs satelite AVGuy is right--there is no universal answer here. I've actually used both DirecTV and digital CATV, and am now a digital CATV subscriber, but what works for me may not work for you. Here are some factors to consider:1. Picture Quality. For CATV, ... | |
| Best Bike to ride before a good listening session Aw Plato, now why d'ja hafta bring my mother into it?I ride for me exclusively. I ride to make my muscles hurt and my lungs burn. I ride because sweating seems to be the only way of eliminating toxins that accumulate from life in a big city. I rid... | |
| Best Bike to ride before a good listening session Jdr999, just up the pressure in the shock! ; )I'm probably 190, although I'd like to believe 180, and haven't had a spot of trouble. Although riding today, I decided I definitely needed to lube the joints... You could hear me creaking a 1/2 mi. aw... | |
| Best Bike to ride before a good listening session Y'all can keep your effete road bikes... Rides smoothly over rough pavement? He he. How about over a 6' drop onto gnarled tree roots? Me, I'll second the Truth! A sub-25 lb. bike with almost 5" of front and rear travel, climbs like you are cheatin... |
