| Radio Purchase question Try the Sangean "CC Radio" from www.ccradio.com. It does best on AM though. But has clock radio and presets and TV, Weather channnels too (about $160).For $400-$500 the best I can recommend (and I own one) is the big but impressive Grundig 800. Av... | |

| ML Aerius/room tweak A cheap tweek to improve the overall clarity: remove spikes and slip four #3 Vibrapods under each speaker. Worked for me. | |
| Best Find Ever??? Picked up a mint Akai open reel tape deck at a local "Hamfest" for $40, resold it a week later on eBay for a cool $580. | |
| Where s the bass? Play with interconnects--they're basically tone controls. Or add a powered sub. Nearly all speakers can benefit from one. | |
| Power Cord Challenge OK, here you go: Beat me, whip me, make me listen to mid-fi! How's that for thresholds (nice amps!) of pain?? | |
| Klipsch, high end? I second Abstract7's comments. I use Heresy's in front in my movie system. Only horns duplicate that special "movie theater" sound--makes sense, since many theaters use horn speakers, usually Klipsch. | |
| Power Cord Challenge All you will prove is that some people hear more than others, some people hear less. Ever hear of the bell curve, statistical distributions?... super-tasters?... thresholds of pain? Everyone's different. | |
| Help with Sony 777 SACD I find "custom" lets too much garbage into your system, makes the sound less firmed-up. Highs are better, but bass is thinner. I'd try it both ways, no harm is likely, but I think the standard position is best in most systems. | |
| Help on DVD and Home Theater Set Up Seperate dedicated systems is the only way to go. | |
| Stunned by a cable upgrade I use the bi-wire oval 9's-- suggest you replace your single run. I sold my $55/foot Audioquest Clears and Greens.The analysis ovals are quite good. | |
| Best component ever for the ... Vibrapods. $6 each. Enough said. | |
| Absolute Power Cord does the trick I took the plunge, now selling a pair for $70... They're OK, but no giant killer. | |
| Music trivia anyone? Heaven 17 is the name of a music album in the store that Droogie Alex is looking at in "A Clockwork Orange." | |
| Music trivia anyone? "Yesterday" began life as "Scrambled Eggs," a lot like my brains these days... |
