| Need help making TV decision Drubin,I have the previous version of the Consumer Panny EDTV (TH-42PD25). It has 2 sets of Component video connections, plus HDMI, plus the cablecard slot.I like using a STB because I have the combo HD STB w/DVR and I really like it. It records H... | |
| Need help making TV decision Drubin,Absolutely get an HD STB with the EDTV Panny. I have the consumer version of the EDTV Panny Plasma and I love it. It looks incredible when fed an HD signal from my Time Warner HD Digital cable box/DVR.I'm not sure there is a Cable Card avai... | |
| Need help making TV decision Tvad,Although a good concept, the 30" Samsung Slim-Fit TV has horrible geometry issues that I don't think can be corrected. I really wanted to buy that set, but after viewing 10-15 sets in different stores, it became apparent that the set is "not ... | |
| Pioneer VSX 74 vs Sony 7100 ES vs Denon 4306 The Sony STR-DA7100ES is supposed to be an incredible sounding receiver. One of its biggest benefits is that it supports iLink which will allow a digital signal passed directly from a SACD player (like the Sony DVP-NS9100ES) to the Receiver. Becau... | |
| Again, recommended CDPs for $2K-$3.5K If you plan to only spend $2000, I would suggest you actually only spend about $800 and get a used Quad 99CDP CD player. I previously owned one and it easily bested a Cary CD-308 and Theta Miles(the superior balanced version) that I owned.If you w... | |
| Theta Miles owners......Help. Yes, both outputs are active. I once did this using the balanced outputs to a pair of mono-block amplifiers and the RCA outputs to a subwoofer.Enjoy,TIC | |
| Philips SACD-1000 repair and mods? Do a search of the archives. This question was just answered last week by Alex of APL (the repair and mod guru for Philips SACD-1000).You aren't going to like the answer. The units can not be repaired as Philips no longer has any parts available. ... | |
| Speaker stands for Reference 3A De Capo i If you choose to go with a budget stand, the high mass stand from PartsExpress is pretty good too. I think they still sell for $99 and they use a thick steel plate on the top and bottom and have a single thick/heavy fillable post.Enjoy,TIC | |
| What 2a3's Sound Best In Your Amp and Why? As S23chang said, it is probably going to depend on your amp. I've had 3 different 2A3s in my Paramours. The stock valveArts were OK, the Sovteks were better across the board and the mesh plate TJ Full Music 300B/2.5V(drop in replacement for a 2A3... | |
| Sophia vs TJ Full Music I could be wrong, but I'm guessing that they are exactly the same tube manufactured in the same factory and marketed by two different companies under two different names.TIC | |
| Static Shock? Simply touching the rack first works in my system. I also remember reading somewhere that someone had a bare copper wire hooked to their rack and they slid the wire through their hand before touching the system.As suggested earlier, a humidifier w... | |
| monoblock hook-up very dumb question, sorry Greg,The first response is correct, but I will add some detail for the "un-inititated".Generally quality interconnect cables come as a pair of two seperate cables. One generally has red markings on the connectors and the other generally has black ... | |
| Plasma owners any problems?? Unclejeff,The "classic paintings" software is a neat idea, however, Plasma TVs do have a finite life based on hours of usage. If you plan to use a Plamsa TV for many years, I would recommend turning it off when not actively watching it.There are s... | |
| Plasma owners any problems?? Zero problems with my Panasonic 42" ED Plasma. TIC | |
| Upconverting DVD Player Through Component? Nola is correct. Some of the early Zenith DVB318s "inadvertently" had upsampled output via the component video output. I think it was later "fixed" via software.There is more information than you will ever care to read about this subject on the DV... |
