| Best version of the Little Drummer boy? My two favorite versions are Bob Seger's and Ray Conniff with his singers. Ray because I grew up with it and Bob's because he took a song like that and pretty much owned it. | |

| Cables for progressive scan Progressive scan interconnects are essentially 3 composite video cables that are color coded for easy connection.Do yourself a favor and purchase 3 separate RCA video cables. You should be able to buy a DVD with the money you save.Good luck | |
| Best HD Antenna-How to improve off-air reception?? My advice is to not invest into HD Satellite receivers and off-air antennae. Even if you are doing the installation yourself, the cost is considerable and not worth the investment in comparison to the amount of broadcasting that is currently avail... | |
| Best 5 engineered rock albums? Hey Seandtaylor,Thanks for the comments. Along with the Beatles, Badfinger is one of my favorite all time bands. If you like Abbey Road, and you're not familiar with the record I mentioned above, it really is a must have. It incorporates every asp... | |
| Best 5 engineered rock albums? I gave this a bit of thought, and I must admit there should be two categories. CD and Vinyl. There are some albums that are really great on vinyl, but just didn't cut it on CD. And vice versa. Here's my list regardless of the medium:Metallica-The ... | |
| Truely balanced the better design? My set-up consists of an EC 4.7 Preamp ran balanced to the AW 250 DMB power amp. I use Stealth silver speaker cables w/ silver spades to a pair of Talon Peregrines. Since I am currently using a Perpetual Technologies DD/DA rig, I have no choice bu... | |

| A good cartridge between 300.00 and 400.00 I don't see how you could go wrong with a Benz Micro Ace. They've got em' in low, medium and high. The price is usually $450.00, but you can definetly get 'em for less. I did and I love mine. Check out Musical Surroundings web site and then shop f... | |
| Truely balanced the better design? Hey Tekunda,I think it depends on the design of your amplification. For instance, my amp and preamp are from Electrocompaniet. While they work well in single ended mode, they really shine when hooked up in a balanced configuration which is what th... | |
| Most Tedius Part of Audiodom Setup/Tweak/DIY ? Strangely enough, I love to do all of the tasks mentioned above. Turntables are probably the most frustrating component, mostly because of the cartridge. But even still, I don't really mind. What is the most tedious, least fun and frustrating expe... | |
| Five amps that you want to try at home? My five amps in no particular order:1)The Kora Mono BlocksBecause........I heard them at the show in New York recently and was completely enthralled with their performance driving a pair of Gershman Opera Sauvage and Avant Gardes. Wild design, gre... | |
| Pass X-150 or Cary V-12? Hey Blackie,I am in complete agreement with Tdavism3. The Nautilus line is not the most efficient regardless of their ratings. I drove a pair of 802 Nautilus with my Electrocompaniet AW250DMB and was very happy with the results. That is until I he... | |
| Perp. Tech. Speaker Correction I was told months ago that that measurement unit was already available. There seems to be so much misinformation about these products going around that I am now considering throwing in the towel. After listening to the Electrocompaniet EMCD1 with ... |
