A good ipod dock for an ipod classic.
I was going to use the digital output. the onkyo i was referring to is the "onkyo nd s1 ipod dock”. The reviews were great on this item. I contacted onkyo and they have no plans to sell this in the USA.Joe in Mobile 
24p vs 48 hz or 60hz for video playback?
I have been looking at a panny tcp54g25 which does not have the 24p and then yesterday I was in bestbuy with the kids and looked at the tcpvt20 3d and I was very impressed with it. The tcp54vt25 has 24p but it is really expensive. I think I will j...

Matching an amp to the Vandersteen 3a signatures
I listened to the 3a’s in a shop that was using the parasound a21 and the parasound jc2. Transparent is the word. Fantastic! In fact I am in the process of saving to eventually get that set-up.Joe in Mobile 
Panasonic TC-54G25 or Samsung PN58C550?
I got a good luck at BB yesterday and was able to compare the g20 to the 550 and the panny s2. I have to say the g20 really looked sharper in all aspects. It was really much darker and sharper than the s2 and just seemed subjectively better than t... 
Anyone using McIntosh with Vandersteen Quatros
How do you like your quatros? How were they to initially set-up? I know I am not answering your original thread but I had to ask. ;)Joe in Mobile 
Vandy quatro vs Vandy 5’s
Thanks for all of y’alls input. I have a very large room that these will be in. The reason I brought it up was to see if the $700 give or take was worth it. I love astronomy and there is always the “aperture envy” syndrome, this is good but more i... 
Which hdtv would you recommend and why?

How much clearance around components in a console?
I will probably go and err on the side of caution with 3” per side extra. How much for the top clearance? Should I have vent holes in the bottom of each shelf? I plan to have an open back, but there will be a closed front. I was planning on some s... 
Wadia 170i Ipod Dock Vs Onkyo ND S1 Ipod Dock
Since the onkyo you bought is a European model, how will you deal with the different voltage requirement? Asking as potentially interested buyer of the onkyo also. Could you post later how it turns out for you, sonically and user friendly? Thanks.... 
Recommendations on Turntable for under $1k
Just wondering about his response, "However I would also ask what do you have for a phonostage or separate phono amp?” Would I need a separate phono amp or phonostage when using the parasound jc2 preamp?Joe in Mobile 
Recommendations on Turntable for under $1k
What I am asking is what complete turntable system would you recommend? I have not used a turntable in years and that was just the typical low budget deal. What would y’all recommend other than the system I mentioned? thanks again.Joe in Mobile 
Vandersteen 5A vs Meridian DSP8000
I have a question as to why you would empty the room. Would this allow a more accurate set-up of the speakers? If so, when you put the items back in the room do you have to redo the set-up or tweak it so to speak? The reason I am asking is that va...
