NAD T 743-Turns Off Within a Few Seconds
Wally,My guess is that you have one of three possible problems.1. Speaker wire is shorted. I suggest removing all of you speaker wires from the binding post on the receiver and check them to make sure a frayed wire is not touching another wire or ... 
Any suggestions on coolest running monoblocks?
I would go with the Channel Islands amps. You can't go wrong because they have a 30 day money back return policy.I own the Channel Islands VMB-1s which are 40 watts/ch. If you want to save a bit of money and can really live with 40 watt mono-block... 
"Component Video" cables
Eldartford,I bought my DVI cable for my EDTV Panny from PCCables.com. They have a 3 ft. Component video cable for under $7. Check it out:http://www.pccables.com/cgi-bin/orders6.cgi?action=Showitem&id=ID490503&partno=02426&search=COMPON... 
Amp Help ICE or Class D
Well, All I can say is that the Channel Island D-100 has received some incredible comments and it offers a money back trial period. There is also now a 200 watt version.I own the Channel Islands VMB-1 mono-block amps and they are VERY GOOD for the... 
Listening Nirvana in Tiny Hideaway Room
CWL,I have a small listening area and it can be very enjoyable, but different, from a larger listening area. For me, a nearfield setup has an uncanny ability to provide that "you are there" experience, especially when listening to a small ensemble... 
Looking for non-boomy full range speakers
Something like the Role Audio Windjammer maight be a good choice for your smallish room. It's spec'd down to 35hz, but has a small 4.5" woofer that supposedly helps it "not overload" a small room.I've never heard this speaker, but it has peaked my... 
Plasma Aftermarket Power Cord
Thedautch,Nothing is preventing the Panasonic EDTV plasma display from displaying Digital TV or even high-def. broadcast. It is a digital TV, it just isn't full HDTV resolution. I own one! It is spectacular for the price. Actually, mine has an ATS... 
Integrated Amps: Arcam & Audio Refinement
For less than $1200 you can also get a nice used Plinius Integrated. Heck, for $1295 you can get a demo Portal Panache too.I've owned several Arcams and they are very good for their used prices, but if I were ready and willing to spend about $1200... 
Universals with volume/attenuator.
Joe,I too would like this as I use a CD player w/remote controlled variable volume direct into a pair of mono-block amps.My guess is that it hasn't been done because it would take 6 channels of volume control since a universal player would likely ... 
How to take the solder off the thread?
OH,I think you could simply run the nut in and it will cut through the solder. If that doesn't work, try some solder wick. It is a woven mesh of metal wire that will suck molten solder off of a solid surface.I'm no expert, but for me, I press the ... 
What is your idea of a Perfect Album?
I agree with Snofun. "Who's Next" is the most perfect Rock album that I can think of right now.....Enjoy,TIC 
Inverted phase preamps?
OK, at first I was going to say, "good grief, what difference does it make which end of the speaker wire you reverse." Then I thought about all of the cable break-in freaks (no offense intended) and I thought, well, if you are concerned about cabl... 
Where Would Doo-Wight Be Without Pete?
OH61,I have a couple of DY CDs and I do enjoy them. As far as country music goes, DY is one of the best IMHO. For me, if I'm going to listen to country, I want some twang!Can you give me some examples of the stuff you find particularly tasty?Enjoy... 
Best way to go HT with focus on 2 channel
Smccull,First, I have been going through the same scenario over the last 5 years and have had many different iterations of "combo" systems in my listening room. I speak from years of personal experience!There are several different ways to go about... 
what CD player between 1-2K
Quad 99 CDP CD player (not the older Quad 99, it must say CDP). This is a great player at $1500 retail, $800-900 used. I previously owned a Cary CD-308 and liked it, but I think the Quad 99 CDP is a level above the Cary.Enjoy,TIC
