Any harm in leaving gear in the cold?
I MUST MAKE THE AGREEMENT WITH ALL OF THE ABOVE EXCEPT I DO HAVE A FRIEND WITH A SWIMMING POOL IN GRAND FORKS, ND. EVERY MANUFACTURER WILL WARN YOU IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL ABOUT OPERATING TEMPERATURES OF THEIR EQUIPMENT REGARDING HEAT AND PROPER VEN...

Will the HDCD format survive
IS THIS A TRICK QUESTION? WHO IS BACKING THIS VENTURE? WHO CONTROLS THE MAJORITY OF RECORDING ARTISTS INTERNATIONALLY? WHO HAS ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY DTS AND DOLBY LABORITORIES OUT OF THEIR BUDGET JUST FOR ADVERTISING? WHO HAS DOMINATED MOTION PICTUR...

UPS Question/Problem
SCOTT CONTACT YOUR LOCAL FBI OFFICE AND SPEAK WITH AN AGENT ABOUT YOUR SITUATION. DEPENDING ON WHAT STATE HE IS IN YOU CAN ALSO CONTACT THAT STATE'S ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE. TRANSACTIONS OVER $500.00 IN MOST STATES IS A FELONY CRIME. EBAY PROTEC... 
XLRs vs RCAs
OK THIS IS JUST LIKE THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION LOTS OF OPINIONS AND NOBODY AGREEING. MAYBE A GOOD TOPIC ON THIS ONE SHOULD BE "LOST". HOW ABOUT BALANCED XLR COST A LOT MORE MONEY FOR A DIMINISHING RETURN!

Component Video In Upgrade Possible?
GOOD QUESTION, Mi3491.I HAVE A 70" ULTRAVISION SBX MODEL AND I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY DID THEY MAKE SUCH A GREAT TV AND STOP SHORT OF ONE ITEM THAT IS SO IMPORTANT? 
Do Velodyne speakers sound good?not subs
THEY ARE NOT BAD BUT DON'T BUY THEM NEW. THEY ARE NOT WORTH THE PRICE MOST DEALERS TRY TO GET. I HAVE 5 LD3C'S FOR MY CENTER CHANNEL CONNECTED TO A CARVER A-705x WHICH IS JUST ABOUT THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF POWER. I THINK THEY ARE ALL 6 OHM SPEAKERS, S...
