Help with Anthem D2
I only have a avm 30, but my guess is to go into the source menu, and adjust the video input selections for each selected source(sat,dvd,cd,vcr,etc). Then there should be a place hdmi out that shouldnt be hard to find. 
building a sub
You cant build a sub cheaper then a used svs model right now. Ive seen some high powered 300 watt 12" subs for $250-$300 used!! 
speaker cone dust brush or cleaner
Id just let it go, its not likely to effect the sound unless its caked on. 
Ground Loop
Some amps have a ground switch. Check it out. 
Catchy tunes that sound great?
Oh ya, its on SACD also. 
Catchy tunes that sound great?
Im going to get some comments on this one, but Michael Jackson's Thriller album(and others) are timeless and extremely catchy. Not to mention the number one selling ablbum of all time. 
Single-wire spades from amp to biwire spkr posts?
Almost all bi wire cables come the way you speak. If both end had 4 wires, it would be for bi amping in most respects. 
Paradigm Signature S8 V2 review
Well, on good recording, Id give it a 9. On bad recordings, it didnt do so well(7.0?). It brought out the worst in the music with these recordings. As you know, the Legacys are a little forgiven. That is why I say, if you are looking for pure audi... 
Legacy Audio Focus 20/20 spikes
Ive tried calling Legacy before on this and sending a email. Ive never had good luck with there service in over 4 years. I needed a driver once and they said they couldnt get them any more and only had diaphrams. Speaker was 2 years old and under ... 
Oppo as transport
What people fail to realize is the tonal differences, dont make a player better or worse as long as its acurate and has a flat response. Remember 2 different components can have flat responses and sound completely different. A few +-2 here and the... 
Oppo as transport
Even Stereophile says it as good of a transport as anything at any price, as long as you are using it as a TRANSPORT. My 981 arrives tomorrow. I am used to $3k-$5k cd players, Ill let you know how it holds up as a transport as that all I will be u...

Which speaker? paradigm s2 vs totem rainmaker
I bought a pair of 100 V.3's. Liked them better then the s2's. they sound alot like each other, but the paradigm v.3 was more relaxed, not as harsh, and didnt have bumper mid bass that i found annoying in the s2's. The S2's were great when I used ...

Paradigm Signature S8 V2 review
I have the Legacy focus 20/20's and I have also owned the new signeture line. To say the least Ive had 10 speakers in my home(all over $2200 retail) and none have beat my focus 20/20's. They say the new focus HD are better. Anyway, there has been ...
