How to hook up a tube preamp to my integrated amp
Connect the pre-amp outputs of the Rogue to the AV processor loop inputs of the MFA308. When you engage the AV processor loop/HT bypass button, it simply bypasses all of the pre-amp functions of the MF Integrated, basically turning it into a power...

6.1 receiver
Bruce and All,Yes, the Pioneer VSX-1014TK has 7.1 channels of amplification on-board and it has DPLIIx. In addition to that, it has THX Select certification. All this for under $350 street price! As I said earlier, it is a SCREAMINGLY good value..... 
6.1 receiver
CwL,I think the Pioneer VSX-1014TK and 1015TK only have 2 component video inputs and one component video output. They do upscale everything to component, so you could use s-video from one of your less critical video sources and still have it go to... 
6.1 receiver
Tom,I don't know about the Pioneer VSXD814K, but I can tell you that the Pioneer VSX-1014TK is a SCREAMINGLY good deal in an HT receiver. I own one and paid about $350 for it. I've owned other "high-end" HT receiver in the past costing up to $2800... 
Panny plasma Vs Comcast HDTV, HELP
Slapster,Good to hear that you found the aspect setting. For my PACE cable box with Time Warner Cable, The "Display" button is right on the front panel of the STB. Can't miss it!I also own the Panny EDTV model TH-42PD25U. I agree that it is a grea... 
Lucinda Williams Fans?
Nrchy,I'm pretty sure that Cokie Roberts from ABC/NPR and David Bowie are also the same person. Personally, I've never seen them in the same room!!Enjoy,TIC 
Panny plasma Vs Comcast HDTV, HELP
Slapster,No time to re-read your entire post as I'm headed off to work, but I think Danlib1 may be onto something.My cable box had setup for aspect ratio. I set mine for 16X9 and things display correctly. However, I don't think I can change the as... 
Opinions, Is this better for the Members?
Tvad,Yep, its an interesting phenomenon. The longer I stay in the hobby, the less expensive and more simple my system becomes! Currently the most expensive piece of Audio gear I own was $1000 bought here nearly 3 years ago. Of course, 3 years is a... 
Opinions, Is this better for the Members?
AVGG,Feedback based on the type/value of a product can also work against you. I have 75 feedbacks covering 5 years. However, since the new feedback system went into place, I only have 3 transactions. Unfortunately, they were all inexpensive produc... 
Have Linn Classik, upgrade to int amp & cd? Naim?
A Quad 99-CDP CD player connected directly via it excellent variable volume control to a Quad 99 or Quad 909 amplifier. This is an excellent setup, but it has a grey face, not black. This setup would retail for under $3000 and could be bought ligh... 
Dedicated CD Player Recommendation
For much less money than your proposed budget, you can get a Quad 99 CDP. It is under $1500 new and sells for about $850-950 used. It is a really nice player that does nothing wrong. It has a really nice balance between musicality and detail. It h... 
Please recommend components for newbie with $1K
The Wharfdale's are listed as 100watt max power handling, so I think a 100 watt/channel amp would be plenty.Also, try to hear the Wharfdales locally, if possible, but you could also just order them from AudioAdvisor. But don't wait too long. These...

Reanalyst,About monitors vs. Full range:Generally speaking, monitors are "bookshelf" sized speakers. Many people refrain from calling them bookself speakers because they tend to sound bad if actually placed on a bookself. If you want good sound an...
