Component Video Splitter
You want to send the signals simultaneously or switch between the two?This is the difference between a "splitter" and a "switcher". A splitter would likely have to amplify the signal to allow this, and that would be more costly than a switcher. Wh... 
HELP w/Preamp Polarity Inversion Problem
Thanks Zaikesman (patting self on back)And excellent point, Bob-- in my particular case, the preamp makes an audible click as a relay is triggered to invert phase, but whether that relay is open or shut, the signal passes through its contacts. Las... 
Velodyne HGS-18 and Triad who makes it Platinum?
You have them just sitting there in the boxes...Man, that's willpower. I believe that Triad manufactures speakers in Portland, Oregon. Where they are sourcing drivers and amps from is beyond me, but I don't think the Triad subs are "badge engineer... 
Multi-zone control panels--suggestions?
Based on what would appear to be your lack of experience with this sort of stuff, I would suggest you find a good and reputable custom install shop in your area and make an appointment to go talk with them. Bring with you a list of your equipment ... 
PayPal Surcharge
MEZMO: What law is this you say it is against to charge 3%-- would you cite a reference of some sort so we can go look at it, please? I've never heard of such a thing and I'm pretty curious about it now. Is it part of the federal code dealing with... 
HELP w/Preamp Polarity Inversion Problem
Zaikesman-- This is pretty late, but I hit on this thinking about phase from another thread, and now I'm reading old phase threads instead of starting a new one. Anyhow, I recently got into this discussion with a technical advisor at Jeff Rowland ... 
Bryston Vs Classe
BTW, before any of you ask, yes, the Classe and the Rowland use different pin-outs on the XLR plugs, Rowland adhering to the "commercial" pin out standard (pin 2 inverted, - signal), Classe and Bryston the "consumer" (pin 2 + signal). The preamp h... 
Bryston Vs Classe
After auditioning the bryston 4b SST in my system (Adcom "temporary" CD player GCD-700, Rowland Consonance Preamp, Transparent musiclink super ICs (SE) and speaker cables, Signal Audio "new model" balanced ICs, Martin-Logan SL3s, Velodyne ULD-15 s... 
CD and/or LP collections. Is it about the music?
Hrm. I think I'm as prone to "streaks" as the rest of you-- a streak being when you find, for example, a dead blues harmonica player you'd previously never heard of, buy all of his albums, then read the liner notes and buy the albums of his major ... 
PayPal Surcharge
Plenty of stores do in effect add a surcharge by saying, "well, I can give you this (hot deal) if you pay cash, but otherwise it will be (hot deal + 2%)". Regardless of what some unenforceable contract says about it, it happens and will continue t... 
CD and/or LP collections. Is it about the music?
Somewhere around 600 cds, 100 LPs in a box-- I buy every CD I can find that I want (a function of being a DINK and having poor impulse control)-- BUT-- I just don't find that much that I want to buy. How the heck do you folks with 3000+ CDs/LPs fi...

PayPal Surcharge
PayPal has no jurisdiction here. Who cares if they say you can't add a surcharge? They're not monitoring emails about classified ads- are they? Sellers can say whatever they want, and in Audiogon's classified ad dominated sales culture, we can all... 
Scratched discs - what do to?
There's already at least one other thread with this topic- start by searching the archives. 
UL certification and insurance
If you build your own cables, and you are the worst craftsman in the world, and they burn down your house, AND the insurance company can prove that fact with forensic evidence beyond reasonable doubt (this is damn tough to do, which is why so many...
