| Where to buy bases w/spikes for floor standers??? A little off topic, but not too far. I need a set of spikes (8) for Linn Index factory stands I got used. Linn says all gone at the factory. Anyone know the thread size or have any other ideas? Its for a second system and spikes are not absolutely... | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers If you have a very revealing speaker (or video display in a HT), you will hear (see) deficiencies in your upstream components. I would recommend settling on a neutral, musical speaker that does not emphasize detail or soundstaging, but which has t... | |
| Can you receive hdtv signals on dig. cable? Sd- My experience was the same as yours and I changed over to DSS with basic analog cable for local channels. However, its not a very user friendly set-up. Lots of remotes, and complicated by the fact that most universals do not control all the fu... | |
| set top ant. for rca hdtv Check AVSforum for all the details on HDTV. Some folks there report good reception with RS bow tie UHF antenna. I'm sure it depends on your location relative to the transmitter. | |
| Can you receive hdtv signals on dig. cable? Only if your cable system is transmitting HD signals. Only a few are, and I'm not sure what hardware you need. But the digital cable product most of us can get IS NOT HD, and requires a digital converter box even if you have a DTV. Picture quality... | |
| Audiophiles - Your Favorite Food?? Fresh striped bass grilled on the beach served with tomato basil butter. New England Butter and Sugar Corn. Nantucket Bay Scallops anyway you want 'em. Champagne and shrimp cocktail with my homemade sauce. Oysters on the half shell with a good Sau... | |
| Copying DVDs? Gboren- not trying to split hairs, but I believe that's only true (fair use) if you own the DVD/CD/LP. Since you can't be in two places at once, its fair use if you make a copy for backup, archival, convenience purposes. If you copy software that ... | |

| Copying DVDs? You mean besides the fact that it is illegal? | |
| speaker wire, digital, and interconnect Glenn- I guess ic suggestions for the rega are superflous until you get a phono stage. Lehman Black Cube is well regarded on a cost/performance basis. | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Haven't looked at this thread in while and forgive me if Trelja in his usual thoroughness addressed this, but- be careful when you use these solvents. Most of them are easily absorbed thru the skin, and the vapors I believe are also dangerous (in ... | |
| 'scuse me while I kiss this guy? There is actually a book by the same name. Not sure if the web site is by the author, but if I can find the book, I will post some of them. VERRY FUNNY. | |
| Audible diffferences between Vandy 2w & 2wq OK, so lets say I go with the 2WQ. Next question is which comes first, upgrade mains to 3Asig or add sub? | |
| Looking To Buy Wide Screen TV Good summary from deep ellem and I would definately second the avsforum recommendations. However, it does get pretty technical sometimes; probably what the HDTV folks say when they get here. | |
| Looking To Buy Wide Screen TV Sean- I have always felt that the WEGA flat screens DO NOT have accurate geometry; the picture always looks concave. My Planus is not a flat screen, it has an arc from side to side, but is relatively flat top to bottom. There was a technical expla... |
