Anyone know how to record to DVD recorder from DVR
I have a directv dvr and record direct to a dvd recorder via S-Video and Lt/Rt audio. I caution you that the end results aren't the highest quality. But it gives me archives of programs I want to save.

Contact Rick at The Audio Alternative in Fort Collins Colo., he is everything LP12/Linn amongst many other fine products. But if anyone can help you it would be him. As a side note:He just re-adjusted my LP12's Rake Angle and I am continually amaz... 
Strangest problem I've ever had
At this point I would check for the short. Use the "Ohm" section of your meter. This checks for continuity, (briefly: the completion of path of the signal/current between two points)and will confirm if you do or don't have a short. Since you know ... 
Strangest problem I've ever had
I would say that Onkyo is just more sensative than the Kenwood. But you do have a short. Didn't you put in metal screw plates on the face of the studs before you drywalled?If not then yes it is most likely a screw thru a wire. Unfortunatley the on... 
Best speakers to "abuse" for around $2k ?
Though they are hard to drive you could look for some Infinity Kappa 7's or 8's. I owned 7's for years and they rocked out pretty well for me. Just a suggestion as you can find them well under your spending limit.

Where to Find Very Deep Dark
You may have to mix dyes to match that color. Actually sometimes a little dark blue is used to achieve a very dark black. Maybe cheaper in the long run to see if you can find a furniture touch-up person. As trying all the different dyes can get ve... 
Help needed to recover costs please
Before you mention their name let them know that you plan to broadcast their name and your experience with them. If they are an audiophile related manufacturer they most likely would not want the bad advertising on all audiophile forums. The botto... 
low bass on Audio Research LS27
I own an LS26 and have heard the LS27 but not in my system. But I have heard the Standard REF5 compared to the LS27 at the dealer and we both agreed that the LS27 is a bargain by comparison. I beleive this proximaty in performance was the catalyst...

Bulbs for McIntosh MC2155?
Wow! Either the bulbs have really gone up or your 2155 takes a totally different bulb than the one's I have used on my older amps. Sounds like you made a good deal with your service guy. Glad you got it fixed.
