DVR's & TV guide
Hello,I tried using that set-up (configuration A) but was never able to get the commander cable to work. Here's how I have things connected. The coax cable comes out of the wall into a Monster HTS-5000 surge protector. Then out of the Monster into... 
DVR's & TV guide
Hello,Not sure from your post whether the issue is with a Cox Cable DVR or an after market (Sony, Panasonic) DVR with the On-Screen TV Guide. If the former, a hard reset - unplug as Cox advised - should do the trick.If it's the latter ... I had a ... 
Anyone seen their favorite High End store close?
How funny; I was just thinking about this. I have noticed this here in the San Jose, CA area too. Most stores have consolidated multiple locations or changed their focus to home theater. A couple have closed altogether. One store has remained focu... 
Review: Machina dynamica Brilliant Pebbles Tweak
It also seems strange that someone would equate not understanding an explanation of how a component works with no explanation.Whether one understands how a SS amplifier amplifies v. how a tube amplifier amplifies, for example, is not important. Wh...

Dbld, If I recall, use of a tube pre-amp without the changes to the amp could affect your warrantee on the amp. There was another thread on this subject last summer but it seems to have been deleted. Lots of folks reported using tube pre-amps with... 
Krell FPB 600c 700cx 400cx Heatsink noises.
Hello,Microstrip, out of curiousity, I assume you put the nylon washers between the bolt head and the fin and not fin and the structure of the amp. Did you notice whether the amp ran any hotter?Pauline, I think we all would like to hear how you fa... 
Krell FPB 600c 700cx 400cx Heatsink noises.
Hello,I have a 400cx and it does make that thermal expansion sound - almost like pinging the heat sink with a small mallet. I talked to Krell a service tech who told me essentially the same thing he told you, thatÂ’s "normal" operation. He also tol... 
Help w/ weird big-screen tuning issue?
Have you tried running the channel auto program on your big screen? Look in the set up menu. There are usually options for over the air broadcast, cable, etc, and an option to auto program the channels.Bob R.

Calling all electrostatic speaker owners
Will try vacuuming this evening. Tried closing the windows, but the place heated up and I had to run the a/c - very noisy. Will have to live with the dust, I guess. :(I recall a thread here some time ago written by someone who cleaned his panels i... 
Calling all electrostatic speaker owners
Thanks for the responses. My speakers are ML Aeon i, about 3 years old. I live in a first floor apartment, over the leasing office. The UPS / FedEx / Comcast / etc diesel trucks park every day with idling engines, and since I leave my windows open...
