Favorite Speakers at RMAF
'97 RMAF? I thought this was only the 5th year(starting in 2003) that this show went on? 
PERFECT 10w x 18d x 9h room, any good?
MagfanI understand, not sure you see what I was actually saying.. Too small is going to be too small an acoustic space regardless of a Phi ratio. I agree there is definitely an optimal ratio I am sure.. Point being if your forced into a room barel... 
High quality "locking" IEC connectors?
Easiest, most effective, and clean solution without replacing the chassis receptical or your plug end is to simply start with a single layer of black electrical tape wrapped around the male IEC portion that enters the jack.. If needed you can buil... 
IPOD with USB? Apple TV as music server? Options?
ShazamIt seems more or less that the Apple TV is a "Media Center" as it stands... Just a bit small of a hard drive but it also has the apple online service already so you can download for rent at like 4 bucks HD movies with 1080 p output all in on... 
IPOD with USB? Apple TV as music server? Options?
Kana813, Yeah the apple Tv is really right there in terms of what is necessary and the future of HD content along with a nice addition of holding uncompressed music... Hope the next gen just has a few extra toys, maybe a bigger hard drive, I am su... 
PERFECT 10w x 18d x 9h room, any good?
Exactly ratios are just math... Fact is space is going to be needed regardless in order to create a stereo acoustic environment... I mean we could say a 3ft wide hallway 10 feet long and 6 feet high is a perfect ratio in a listening environment.. ... 
PERFECT 10w x 18d x 9h room, any good?
10 w? Not nearly perfect as that will place any speakers too close to boundaries regardless... However if you are thinking the ratio is perfect due to 10 wide 18 deep well than thats possible... But again you will have very limited width to get th... 
Is your image centred?
LunaIf I mislead sorry, I have set it to "ONE" setting and it plays them all fine now, not setting each album everytime.. 
Is your image centred?
Antiskate is almost literally in these cases like a balance knob... I have heard it on the fly while an album plays as my table will allow for it and I can pan left and right like sitting in a car with the fader or balance knob! But again this is ... 
IPOD with USB? Apple TV as music server? Options?
I see… Well again that seems to involve several units, and I prefer not to go with wireless for that purpose a good cable is fine if its easily accessable as an interface is the whole idea I guess… I would prefer to use something like this Apple T... 
? Modded Oppo 983 ?
Yeah this way it keeps 100% of your options open with any format you want, and is cheaper to change out a player for a couple hundred, and still have the core performance of a good DAC for the final sound, plus resale on the DAC will not suffer ne... 
LCD TV - Are they reliable ?
KijankiI agree.. all we can go on is what is so far stated by these companies... However I do have some very extensive experience with both Plasma and LCD... Used in business applications, and under streess and heavy hours, the cost to run(via pow...

LCD TV - Are they reliable ?
KijankiYour right they have gone up, I was talking about some models from 2 or 3 years ago.. Now LCD And Plasma ratings are in the 60,000 here is new quotes..But it is the reverse plasmas needed to catch up to LCD #'s in lifespan not the reverse, ... 
LCD TV - Are they reliable ?
Plasmas run hotter(stick your hand behind some models and it seems they can melt the paint off the wall it is “Plasma” in that TV remember being heated)Weight is about double(for example my 52” without stand is about 53 lbs vs. 110 for a comparabl...
