| Are Terminals Necessary? Hmm... contrary to the advice I got from ProAc. When I got my ProAcs a long time ago, the advice was to use bare wire. When the copper wires get crushed under the speaker terminals, they will actually crush and the metal to metal connection will b... | |
| Cables for Theta Processor/Amp?? Casablanca III? How does it differ from the II? Any idea what the upgrade costs are and what it gets you? | |
| Experience Sound Blaster Wireless ? There is some material on the Sound Blaster system at:http://www.creative.com/The site explicitly references mp3s encoded at rates up to 192 kbps, and wma files. Nothing about wav files. I'm guessing its not part of the package for the reason Sids... | |
| iPod Confessional Kimber also makes "high end" iPod cables--sold through the headroom amp people. I'd echo Onhwy61's comments, however. | |
| iPod Confessional Now that you have all your CDs mp3'd, and like the concept of playing Genres or playlists, get yourself an Audiotron by Turtle Beach, hook it up to a decent DAC, and wire it to your home stereo. Its like an iPod for your stereo, but better quality... | |
| ARC 100.2 vs. D240? Based on the direction of the $500, I'd say your dealer is jobbing you too. Fer a 100.2 and $500, I'll consider trading you *two* black D240 Mk IIs and even throw in a spare silver faceplate! | |
| wall- mounting surrounds Perhaps some further explication is in order. If you can't screw a mount into the speaker, or put it on a stand, seems you are limited to either suspending them from the ceiling (which wouldn't seem particularly stable vibration-wise), finding a c... | |
| video switcher suggestions I kind of like the autosense for several reasons. First, when surfing, I'm not really always wanting to get off my rear and push the button. I'm not a couch potato; frankly, I spend way less time in front of the tube than most US households and, a... | |
| video switcher suggestions I use one of the 1154s from www.copperbox.com--$168. Has four inputs and one output. Inputs are component video, coax digital audio, toslink digital audio, SE analog audio, and composite video. It autosenses and you can set priorities when multipl... | |
| component video question? Component video is worth bypassing the convenience of your HT receiver, IMHO. | |
| VGA video cable vrs RGB w/ Vert & Horz sync When you say VGA, do you mean DVI? DVI and VGA are different interfaces even if the connectors look the same, and I always thought VGA was strictly a computer interface--i.e., a DVI plugged into a VGA input won't work, and vice versa. Common wisdo... | |
| Center Channels sound crappy Eldartford... I'll agree that a multichannel source has a specific feed for the center channel, and that its unsatisfying to disconnect your center channel if your system is set up that way. My guess is that most processors allow you to create a p... | |
| Center Channels sound crappy I hated CCs for the longest time and just used a phantom center channel mode for 5.1 HT stuff--works exceedingly well if you have speakers for 2CH that image well. I eventually ended up buying a CC, but only because HT seems to involve other peopl... | |
| how to eliminate air-born RF Sounds like it might be 60 Hz hum from a transformer of some kind, but that only occurs if there is something powered up. Any chance you might have low voltage halogen lights on a different circuit breaker? If you still hear it and the whole house... | |
| TV with better speakers I may be interpolating a bit, but when you say you want surround, are you talking about surround sound for movies or surround only for SACD? The SACD 5.1 format is not the same as the DTS 5.1 or Dolby 5.1. If your SACD player is a DVD player as we... |
