| Review: SignalCable Magic Power Cord Power cord Pummy, thanks for sharing your impressions. It looks like you have assembled a great bang-for-the-buck system and I applaud you for that.I reviewed the SignalCable line for stereotimes.com and my experience was similar to yours -- even though the ... | |
| Man my Center Channel Sounds Sweet Tonight Well, yeah, but what happens when you stray from center cushion? A center channel is very important in a home theater installation -- especially if you have occasional guests. But I'm with you on the purist theme. That's why I keep my two-channel ... | |
| Dangers of Dryness Lugnut, thanks for your thoughts on this subject -- I also live in the desert, and I appreciate it. :) | |
| When your wife... Hey, for $500 maybe your wife is right. It certainly wouldn't hurt to please her and you can always upgrade later when your financial outlook improves. Any amp and monitor system you could find for $500 wouldn't exactly be a world-beater anyway... | |
| Best Bike to ride before a good listening session Gunbei, I had a Schwinn Pea Picker but I sold it for $1200 on ebay to finance my LeMond ti bike. And I'd just like to say that you can keep all those stupid mountain bikes with their idiotic suspensions that are constantly breaking down and requir... | |
| Best Bike to ride before a good listening session I'll go with my 2003 LeMond Victoire, all-titanium road bike. It accelerates quickly and rides smoothly over rough pavement. I like titanium for bikes because it's light, doesn't corrode, and offers long life. I almost bought a carbon fiber bike, ... | |
| What's next for the Magnepan 3.6R I know that history usually repeats itself; but sometimes we grow old waiting for things that never happen...In my search for a new racing bike, I had been waiting for 10-speed Ultegra since the introduction of 10-speed Dura-Ace about a year ago. ... | |
| Sorry, yet another The effects of optimizing the speakers position in the room is CRUCIAL for extracting the best bass. This applies to ANY speaker in ANY room. This fact cannot be overstated!That said, you do have a couple of 7308 tubes in the signal path that will... | |
| Help: my phono preamp is blowing away my linestage Patrick, the P/LD-2000 has been discontinued, but you still see them pop up here on A-gon now and then. They are quite a bargain. I doubt that their current offerings are as good. | |
| Help: my phono preamp is blowing away my linestage Sure Patrick, I had the Rogue 88 in my system for a while and improved on it greatly when I went to a John Curl designed Parasound P/LD-2000 that I bought used for around $500. It has a lot more detail than the Rogue, much more power and articulat... | |
| 142 Years Ashra, my guess is that your system is one of the more *experienced* in this forum. A 39-yr old amplifier? Whoa! What amp is that, is it updated, and which speakers are you using?Most of my gear is from the current decade, but I do have an old ree... | |
| Basic HDTV Question? Thanks Guys, it seems that if I go OTA I will only be able to get a few local channels in my area in HD. So I'm going to try the Comcast HD, so I can get some premium channels as well. :) | |
| Basic HDTV Question? Hey Guys,Thanks for all the input. It definitely seems like a win-win deal. I had to work today (Saturday) but they have a box reserved for me and I will definitely pick it up Monday morning and see what all the fuss is about. It sounds like my TV... | |
| Basic HDTV Question? Swampwalker, thanks for your answer and for the link to the avsforum... It looks like I'm about to find out what HDTV can do for me.Frank :) | |
| Inverting polarity dilemma You can switch the polarity at the speakers or the amp, but if you do both it is the same as not doing anything (double negative = positive). :)I'm not understanding your setup clearly but if your preamp inverts you can invert the speaker or amp l... |
