linelevel pre that facilitates balanced bi-amping?
You could also use an active crossover like Bryston's. They allow you to set the high and low pass cutoff frequencies. You set the high pass cutoff below the passive internal crossover and the low pass cutoff above the passive internal crossover. ... 
Best DVD plyr for under 1000 new or used ?
Bazmataz, There was a thread a while back about this. The 38A is an older player which supports CD, MP3, DVD-Video and DVD-Audio. The 47A is a newer player which also supports SACD. The build quality on the 38A is higher than the 47A. I would look...

Cardas replacement cord for Sennheiser HD-600
I saw a review up on head-fi.org that said the same thing. It compared the three brands out and that was their favorite. I am saving up for the HD-600 and I'm going to get one! 
Paypal requiring cash or Paypal credit card?

Dion's new CD crashing party for some users
There's another interesting legal issue to this. The courts ruled that the record companies could not break into users computers or in any way damage their data in enforcing their copyrights. If I was a user and my data was corrupted, I would sue ... 
Dion's new CD crashing party for some users
As a software engineer I have to say that SONY's position that "The CD will probably cause a system to crash, but it will not alter anything," is about the siliest thing I have ever heard. Modern computers use a software disc cache to hold data in... 
What's the difference btw AZ Satori and Hologram?
Heh, I can just tell this thread is going to wind up costing me money! :-) The hologram sounds more and more interesting. Thanks for the feedback everyone.Greg 
What's the difference btw AZ Satori and Hologram?
Rths, the first thing is that the Holograms are two cables in one for folks interested in biwiring. They have a heavier cable for the bass and a lighter cable for the treble. This is the reason why the prices are so close for the single and biwire...
