| the 4 ohm rating Why does this thought keep popping into my head?...60mph / 3rd gear / 5000rpmcompared to...60mph / 5th gear / 2400rpmIt may not be a perfect analogy - and electronics has always been a bad subject for me - but many of the tradeoffs discussed above... | |

| What is your idea of a Perfect Album? Achtung BabyIn addition to it being my favorite album musically I think it fits another generally desirable album characteristic by being a fresh step forward for a band. | |
| Coldplay X&Y New Release "I just want something I can put on and ignore." - Rob Gordon, "High Fidelity"Coldplay's monotonous droning serves that purpose well.It seems that Coldplay wants to be considered "brilliant" just the same as many young people desperately try to be... | |
| Perfect Soundtrack for Stylish Sunday Lunch? I find it's often better to let guests select the music. I wouldn't burden them with playing DJ during your event, but any non-offensive iTunes playlist should be fine. From here inform your guests as they arrive that they are free to play whateve... | |
| The next step? For now get a CD player. Later get a pre/power amp combo. My advice is that $500 will get you a great CDP for the money but may be a little shy for a used pre/power setup. Of course you could also count on selling the receiver should you decide to... | |
| Can I use both sets of analog outs on my CD player My only $.02 is to ask the higher minds here how the interconnects may impact each other.IF the RCA jacks were wired in parallel wouldn't the capacitance of the cables be summed?... ARE the RCA outputs wired in parallel?... isn't capacitance -one ... | |
| Are in-wall speakers worth considering? For some perspective here - I'm 22, love kids, and haven't asked for or accepted any compensation yet for stereo damage. None of the agitation is directed toward the kids and most of the irritation comes from the fact that these incidents are gene... | |
| Are in-wall speakers worth considering? Apology - I didn't realize how off topic my rant was. After the "when kids go bad" I totally forgot that we started with a discussion about in-wall speakers. What if we put the speakers out in the room and built enclosures for the kids in the wall!? | |
| Are in-wall speakers worth considering? I recently congratulated my aunt and uncle on having the only children to have not damaged my speaker cones....Five minutes later while listening to the Graceland album with my uncle his son ran to the front of the room and distorted the left spea... | |
| Need best mid-price ICs for new ss M/C amp... I find myself in the same situation. I've recently purchased a set of 5 BJ cables for my NAD S170/S250 combo and haven't yet decided if I am content with the cabling. Does anyone have advice on how long the BJ cables take to settle down? I am find... | |
| NAD T753 Review Just a quick word that the same guys at Saturday Audio have always been great to me. Most recent purchase was an A-stock S250 NAD amp and the floor demo S170 processor. | |

| After all this: CRT HD Television it 'tis.... I came to the same conclusion and bought a 34" Sony CRT last week. The ability to pop a memory stick directly into the set was a neat perk - negated by dragging ~200lb to the second floor. | |
| Praise for Audio Refinement, Boltz and Wharfedale I should report that I have an HT system that includes Wharfedale Diamond 8.4s, 8.3s, and Diamond Center. I had a similar experience with customer service. In short, I noticed a drop in performance of one of my woofers and called Wharfedale expect... |
