Who R U?
What the heck... I'm 34, tomorrow, and live and work in Tampa, Florida. I am originally from Easton, Pa. but ended up in Florida because of the weather. I sold my snow skis and never looked back. I am married and have one child, Courtney, who is 1... 
B&K 7250 vs. EAD PM 1000 amplifier
I will second the Aragon recommendation. I run an 8008BB to my fronts and an 8008x3 to my center and rears. The rears may be overkill but my system really does well on home theater and 2 channel. I truly think the Aragon is a step or two above the... 
Pioneer PD65 Power Cord Modification
I came accross a DIY article in Soundstage and did it myself. I have a Sony 7000 DVD and it to had a fixed AC cord. It was not a difficult project. Make sure you get a foot or two of good quality chassis cable. The article is at www.sstage.com/max... 
Digital Cable????
Let me give this a try. I think what he is using is a digital cable box provided by the local cable company. They do output Dolby Digital but only on a few channels. You will have to use the digital out on the back of the unit and run it to a DD o... 
Value Front Projector
I recently saw the Dream Vision projector and was not at all impressed. I think the better option is to buy a used CRT. 
POWER: conditioners vs filters vs cords
I also agree with Redkiwi and Garfish. I have never experienced any improvement with power conditioners. The best results for me are amps and front end right into the wall. I currently use a monster 2000 for surge protection only on a few componen... 
Do I really need to Bi-Wire?
I have recently added another pair of Stealth Premier cables using my B&W N804's. As I was hoping that the bi-wire would make a substantial change for the better, it didn't. The changes were very subtle for the better. I think the Premier cabl... 
cable advice for subwoofer
I have to agree with Tom_Nice. I purchased sub cables from Serguei at Stealth Audio and they were significantly better than the monster cables with a local audio store recommended. They were approximately the same price as the Monster and the soun... 
Interconnect integrity question
Go for it. I do not see any harm that can come of it. If your honest with your impressions who care what others think. 
Any experience with STEALTH Cable?
I also use the Stealth Premier speaker cables. I use two pair in a bi-wire configuration with my B&W N804's. I love the way these cables sound. The sound is very clean. The highs are crystal clear and the mids and lows are also. Much better th... 
Hospital Grade Wall Outlets
Does it really matter whether you use the 15A or 20A versions of the Hubbell? If you choose the 20A version, will it accept 15A powercords or will you need to change them as well? I have notice that on some powercords they use 15A male ends and a ... 
Best CD/DVD cleaners & tweaks?
I have changed my power receptical on my Sony 7000 cd/dvd player to one which will accept a detachable power cord (15A male panel mount). I was expecting great things but the results were not as good as expected. I have ordered a larger gauge copp... 
Speakercable for B&W Nautilius
I too must jump on the Stealth bandwagon. I use their Premierre speaker cables with my N804's. They sound wonderful. They blew away the XLO's I was previously using. I recently ordered another pair to bi-wire. Serguei is first class and the cables... 
Mapleshade Recordings
I also purchased the demo disk and really like it. I am going to order more as well. Great recordings. 
EAD Encore, Classe SSP-25, or Acurus ACT
I purchased the EAD encore about 6 months ago and am very happy. I also use the 8008BB to run my mains and have the 8008x3 for my center and rears. The sound is wonderful. I am very happy with my purchase. I have a friend who purchased a Classe un...
