| Looking for 42in Plasma TV Please help Umm, this may be off base, but with a 2 foot deep closet why don't you go rear projection TV and save about $3000. Get a top of the line RPTV with built in HDTV, or external, your pick, and if you want the "I hung it on the wall" look, just frame ... | |

| Preamps. Do we really need them? Timo-I think you are correct that many preamps add "body" to music, and I'll always have a preamp since I have a system with many sources of varying output levels. BUT how would a preamp change PRAT? I tend to believe PRAT is source dependent excl... | |

| insuring vinyl Blw- did you see anything in Snake Farm's policy about what replacement cost does / does not apply to? You have any irreplaceable vinyl? Oh, and the state you're in definately matters- policies can differ a little or a lot from state to state. The... | |
| insuring vinyl AM_dial: Glad you found out you got bad advice. You hopefully also learned a valuable lesson: agents don't always know about claims. It's always amazed me that the same agent that would laugh his rear off if I tried to sell insurance, thinks nothi... | |

| Can I use a reciever as a tuner? How? Use the tape loop output of the receiver to send the tuner's signal to your preamp. | |
| Tweeter height - how to compensate? Invert the speaker and sit on the floor? Why do you think 6-8" is such a huge issue? How far away from the speakers do you sit?If you like the sound while you're walking around you are well above 6-8" higher than the tweeter's axis unless your hei... | |
| running wire in walls/floor smurf tube's tough to get many speaker cables through because it is corrugated, fairly small and flexible whereas PVC or ABS is smoother, but takes longer to install (and can be more difficult because of its larger diameter needed to accomodate yo... | |
| Ported Speakers and Tube Amps?? Shouldn't matter any more than the color of the paint in your listening room. A generalization based on the experiences of one or two individuals, most likely. A properly ported woofer COULD be more efficient, and might actually be a BETTER match ... | |
| running wire in walls/floor Any good custom installer can do this for you. Ask some good shops in your new town (or better yet a friend in the new town) who they'd recommend. You should expect someone to come out and look at the house and give you a professional quality esti... | |
| RU recording LPs on Reel to Reel ? Kublakhan-- The tapes are not mine, but if you are interested email me and I'll give you my father's phone #- if he's given up on some magic bullet to save his tapes, he may sell them (I'm assuming you want them to erase and re-record) Rec: The ta... |
