multi-channel amps Anthem, B&K, or Rotel
I would tend to agree with Maggieowner's very astute descriptions. I would also add that the B&K's and Adcom's tend to get "jumbled up" or "loose control" when pushed hard. Never railed on a Rotel, so don't know about that aspect. I do think t... 
In this corner, weighing in at....
Actually Kelly, i have both the ET II and the TQ-1. The TQ just came in the other day, so i haven't played with it at all. The ET II is mounted on a Sota Star Sapphire (vacuum platter) and both are fed via one larger Wisa pump and a good sized vac... 
TV Antenna and Satellite on one coax cable
Sugarbrie is right on. Use seperate lines for best results if at all possible and convenient. Sean> 
Adcom GCD700 random mode ills
Don't know if it is normal for that specific player, but many other players do the same thing. I personally find it somewhat annoying, especially when they keep playing multiple tracks from several different discs but completely skipping another d... 
Which would you buy?
Out of curiosity, what does the Muse list for ? Sean> 
Totally Confused about home theater
Francisco, i think that matching mains, center and surrounds are far more critical when doing multi-channel music as compared to setting up a system for multi-channel video reproduction. I would suggest keeping the systems separate in two differen... 
Noise, hum and AC polarity
Bob honed his "filing skills" when he was trying to go through the bars at Joliet State Correctional Facility when trying to break out. He was temporarily incarcerated there with his brother, Jake. Most people don't know it, but Bob is actually th... 
Noise, hum and AC polarity
Hey Ern, you should have stuck that lamp outside in the winter. If kids stuck their tongue to the metal to see if they would "stick" or freeze to it, you could have always done them a favor and turned on the "defroster" : ) Sean> 
7500 for USED cables? Are they joking?
Paul, you take for granted that all studios are "plummed" with "generic" cables, crappy electronics and use JBL's to mix and master their recordings. That is just not so. While they may not be using the most "expensive" or "technologically advance... 
Absolute Power Cords? Any opinions?
Just picked one up of A-gon. It is in the system now, but i also changed a few other things so i can't directly attribute anything directly to it. It does look like a decent cord, but i'm betting that the Asylum cord would fare better in a "head t... 
Extended Warrenty???
I basically agree that most extended warranties are not worth buying. Most people NEVER use them and as such, they are "free" money aka "high profit" for the seller.Having said that, some extended warranties are worth purchasing. I would recommend... 
RCA to BNC adapters
As far as i know, all BNC's are built to the same electrical / mechanical specs. As such, the only difference would be the actual grade of materials ( metals & insulators ) used. As to the impedance, i don't think that an RCA is 75 ohms to beg... 
Source Selector Fix-It Tips
The guy that just got done calibrating my $15,000 signal generator said that the best cleaner / lubricant that he has ever used can be found at Radio Shack !!! This guy services and calibrates hospital gear, TV & FM broadcast stations, etc.. a... 
Anyone heard of this ? Possible "scam" ?
No scam involved. They delivered the TV first thing Tuesday morning. 8 AM to be exact. I guess that they "assume" that if they hook it up for someone, that person will PROBABLY turn it on the moment that they leave. Since that could increase warra... 
Noise, hum and AC polarity
Yes, i agree Detlof. Enid Lumley was WAY, WAY ahead of her time. I can go back and read some of her stuff today and STILL think that she's a nut. None the less, i respect what she has to say, as she has more than proven herself. Only problem is th...
