Placette
The little Placette passive,as most have stated is more pre than one should expect. Sure there are better pre's but not at that price. Keep in mind a lot depends on the quality of the rest of your parts/ the output voltage of your transport/ the l... 
Video for Movie Room
Unfortunatly all front projectors will wash out the picture to some degree;(understated). This refers to your blacks and all dark scenes. While LCD displays have come down in price and up in quality 1800 for a 55" display might make you happy as l...

I own the 150a ref. I drive Sophia 2's with it--This is not my only amp but I love so much about it. Rusn cool, my elec. bill went down a bunch----oh ya, sounds really great for the money. 
Michael Fremer on INHD "Gear up"
I did see one episode. He talked about computer audio more that anything else and wasn't on camara very long. One thing I did notice---He's gt a lot more hair than me--Oh well, doesn't everybody?? 
How far out there are you?
If this were the '40's---I would recommend a lobotomy, (at a discount rate,of course)---Perhaps you might check into some sort of halfway house---Maybe I can start you on some sort of intervention program.----I'll be happy to store your equipment ...

The Outlaw ruins X-mas
I ordered a Wire World hdmi form a very prominent seller,here--on Nov 15. The card was charged last month. This prominent dealer never checked on the status;not even once. Never responded to email--At this time of the order I was told 3/4 days and...

What is bias a tube amp ? Is it difficult?
I've had nothing but tube amps for 20 years. I started with the Moscode 600.Several amps latter I moved to CJ. I had the 5's for 4 years and the 8's for about the same amount of time. Both of these have the trim pots for each tube and are a breeze... 
"I'll pay you later today"
I would say it's just the nature of the business;not that us private sellers are in the business. I'm sure the folk whom are in the business get more than their share of this.I'm sure I have done this to someone at one time or another.---Heck, a m... 
Toshiba HD DVD player as Transport
Just about everything in life can be measured against---what you had before--and how that compares to what you replaced it with.--My AX1 via a WireWorld hdmi--going into a Ruby; with HD-DVD material is better than anything I've seen. --However on ... 
New HD DVD Player - which isolation device to use?
Like that "Mac the Knife " song--"The cement bags are there for the weight"--Thus my sug, "some weight on top of the player" is a good thing,iso cups or not. .

26"-32" LCD HDTV Buying Angst--Toshiba? Sony? etc.
I thought I'd add an extra tasty reason for buying at Costco. You won't need to buy CC or BB's extended warranty @ 100 or so. Costco has the best exchange in the business. This lil' tv is a giant killer. 
26"-32" LCD HDTV Buying Angst--Toshiba? Sony? etc.
I'm glad we have already a few opinions. I hang,a lot at avsforum. ---My sisters old Sony glass tube went south. Just about that time there was plenty of buzz about this tv from Costco---the Sceptre 32.---Well I talked her into getting one. I also...
