| best sub for both HT and 2 channel audio for 500 bucks You DO need a sub for the LFE channel, its the .1 in 5.1 and is typically available as a line level output only from your receiver. Your Nikko should be more than enough to run a passive sub and would probably beat any internal amp in a powered su... | |
| Anntenna Question As always, Bob has analyzed the problem systematically. My gut, tells me the problem is in the multi-room coax installation; either in terms of multiple splitters (although that much coax would act as an antenna of some sort and you should get som... | |
| Any suggestions for a really good 2 or 3 channel amp 1k The electroacompaniet has been well reviewed on this site. You might also think about McCormack DNA 0.5 dlx which would be under your budget (should be able to get for about $7-800) | |
| Using a two channel pre-amp with a HT processor. Mark- if you run a search on the forums you will find several discussions of this issue. | |
| Suggestions for making SILVER work in system? DH Labs makes silver coated copper in both ICs (Air Matrix & BL-1) and speaker cable (T-14 Silver Sonic and Q-10). | |
| SME 3,4, 5 Owners- Cueing Problem?? You probably need some new silicone damping fluid. Try turntablebasics.com | |
| Anntenna Question Eric- the crossed loop configuration is omni-directional, I believe. And the question about splitting the signal does not relate to whether there are any other devices on-line, just whether they used signal splitters at the various patch panels (o... | |
| Together everyone was stronger than any one person alone Charlie- agreed. Just wondering and trying unsuccessfully not to let my cynicism show. It doesn't help that a doctored photo was just emailed to me purporting to show a sightseer on the WTC observation deck (did it actually have an open air deck?)... | |
| Anntenna Question Eric- do you know if all of in-wall RG6 is intact? Could be your problem, antenna is basically a passive device. BTW, if you are able to get a halfway decent signal with the dipole, then you shouldn't need an amp on the rooftop and signal should b... | |
| Together everyone was stronger than any one person alone Dan- Is this first hand knowledge? My cynical side says it sounds too good to be true. I must admit its a great story; regardless of whether its true or not (and I would like it to be true). BTW, I had family stranded here; they flew back to Denve... | |
| Anntenna Question Eric- Check your receiver manual if you have it, but I am pretty sure that the 75 ohm tap on the receiver should be connected to the coax, and probably has an F connector for that purpose. If you have one of those "transformers" that comes with a ... | |
| Stated as And the minimum bid is a low, low $200!!! | |
| An open letter to Terrorists Fellow 'files-I received this email today (friend of a friend, etc.). No idea about the original source, but it bears reading and thinking about.Dear Friends,The following was sent to me by my friend Tamim Ansary. Tamim is an Afghani-American writ... | |
| I am confused. One or two rear speakers. I think that this is the new 6.1 format. | |
