Morisson ELAD just net-hyped?
The reviews on AR are basically good for amusement only ( most of the time ). You can pick and choose amongst those reviews and find some very worthwhile insights. When someone goes into detail about a product, gives ample points of reference in d... 
Will this set up work? biamping with different amps and subs
Thanks for correcting me Plato. Of course, you are absolutely correct. I stepped into a pothole that i myself dug. Your explanation should clear up the mess that i left behind : ) Sean> 
Bryston or Classe audio ? what do you think of both?
I have owned both brands. One was an old Bryston 4B ( 250 @ 8 / 400 @ 4 ). I had purchased the unit used via the net and it arrived in poor condition. I ended up sending it back to their US repair facility. While Bryston's customer service and war... 
Anybody, Bias setting on B&K ST140
John, give B & K a call on Monday and ask for Jerry in Customer Service. He'll be glad to help you. Make sure that you know whether or not the unit has a toroidal or conventional "iron core" transformer as this will make a big difference. Ther... 
Will this set up work? biamping with different amps and subs
I would say try it and see. Going by what you have stated and Plato was kind enough to add in terms of technical data, it sounds like the subs would always be trying to play "catch up". As such, they might offer low bass reinforcement at a much lo... 
RCA End Caps
The Cardas plugs are not "shunts" or "shorting plugs". A shunt is something that ties your "hot" to "ground", either directly or through a preset impedance. The Cardas pieces are simply metal "lids" or "shields" that slide over your unused RCA jac... 
Where to buy USED INTERCONNECT CABLES online?
Baz, try the "competition" i.e. Audioweb, Audioshopper, etc... AA just opened up a section to sell used gear, so you might want to check that out too. Not much there yet though.... Quite honestly, i'd try posting a "wanted" ad at A-gon. State EXAC... 
Hum problem with Alpha Goertz Sapphire cable - RCA type
DC, i bought a pair of Goertz interconnects for a song for the very reason that you mention. The previous owner had a hum that he could never get rid of. He replace components, other cables, etc... and never suspected the Goertz. He finally tried ... 
High-quality AM antenna?
AM antennas require EXTREME length to be "tuned" or "resonant". As such, run cable up to the attic and simply connect it to some unshielded wire. If you want to extend the length of it, simple weave it back and forth vertically between the ceiling... 
Best DVD/CD Player to buy
Grandpad, maybe you left something out, but CAL & Theta are two different companies. Kind of confusing. As to modifying DVD players, one of my buddies just sent a Pioneer off to Stan Warren. Stan flat out told him that h should not expect the ... 
Point to point wiring VS. PCB drawing
PC boards have the advantage of being able to make use of a "ground plane" and controlled impedance if done by "CAD" ( computer assisted design ). The construction is more consistent and repeatable. The biggest problem may be lack of current capab... 
sony ps question
I can ask my partner at work about this as he might have some info. I won't see him until Saturday as he is out of town. In the meantime, i would recommend disconnecting it from power while leaving the unit turned on. Do this for at least a few ho... 
HT system for 3500
Exactly what are you looking for with this budget ? Do you already have a TV ? Did you want to include VHS ? Rack ? Size of room ? Type / size of speakers ? New or used ? While we can throw out various combo's that might work in your situation, yo... 
Timbrel Accuracy
I think "Cornie" has been hanging around with Steve Rochlin over at "that OTHER audio site". How else would you explain his sudden case of dementia and the need to post "song" ( if you want to call it that ) lyrics ??? Medication indeed... : ) Sea...
