Banana to barrier strip / Suggestions / Adaptors?
I have CJ 5 monos;I had the same problem till they were upgraded.----I also have an Eagle 4. I doubt there is a spaded connection that fits it. Thank god it do have banana terminals.--I guess the spades of the 80's were tiny--? 
Question about using DVD player
Rocky;I don't think your player outputs 24/96 from the digital coax. The 24/96 is for dvd's to a processor/not to a 2 ch dac for cds. 
Seems like a handy device
I have one of those there Monster AVS 2000's it does the same thing for $1500.------See I'm more upscale,A? 
Inexpensive,ugly and wonderful sounding.....
Inexpensive/ugly sounds like a description of my mother in law---not the wonderful sounding part tho. 
Which components knocked you out on first listen?
Over the years I've had many "knocks-me-out" up grades. I guess my first moving coil; Fidelity Research & their step-up device. I think I only slept 3 hrs in 48--from pulling out all my records. That was 1978. Lots of those sessions since-- bu... 
Review: Wireworld Supernova III+ Toslink Interconnect
Well, I just got one of these.(received Fri.) I assume because there is no wire-- no breakin occurs.-- Nothing special about this toslinc to me. It repaced a AQ $79 toslinc I've had for a year. The bright green is cool tho. 
Anyone bought Speakers from outside U.S.A.?
Pbb brings out some great points.-----Funny;I have a 47ai also. Just bough 2 weeks ago. Factory sealed from a local shop,for a bit more than they sell for here. Guess what ??? I brought it home---DOA--- Naturally my dealer did an immediate exchang... 
Help with Crating company in California
I'm not shipping any speakers.--But that was great info,Brian. I'll thank you for the thread starter.( I hope his mom taught him to say "thank-you".) 
New CDP on the way--Advise, please
For the cd player-- It only needs to be on repeat the device it is hooked to must be powered up. This device could actually be a vcr /dac /pre amp. Just so the second device is powered up---NO volume is nec. Full breakin is about 5 to 7 days--non ... 
Sony DVP-S9000ES vs DVP-NS999ES
I just bought the 47ai. It does have a killer picture. I don't do dvd-a or sacd and maybe never will. I do have a great projector. The large size of the screen stresses the video quality. I actually bought this because of the 2 year warranty. 
Recommended Carrier for Speaker Shipments
Bax Global is no better than the rest. I had 200 lb.speakers in the factory wooden crates, with all the inner protective material as well. They hit the crate with a fork lift tip.The pressed wood just popped back out--givin the weight of the conte... 
Systemdex IIx. .. need cartridge recommendation
Since you already have this table---and it is limited-- don't spend to much on it. A decent Cardas phono cable can help. 
How long....Silver....How Long?
For used cables;they should sound great within an hr. or so. I would guess you need to try another cable brand or type.---I see lots of Cardas Golden Ref for sale, that should work well. You might also do a thread for your speakers; and "what" spe... 
Which is a better configuration IYO ?
I know nothing about the Nordost wires. I did recently buy some Celtic Silver speaker wires. They pretty much sounded poor till I had run them 24/7 for 6 or 7 days,non stop. Then it was a different thing. I had a trial period. Yes, they were keepers. 
Do I REALLY need to install DVI and 15 pin cable?
What the dvi is for-- is your content providers can at their will change the resolution of hi def material. You will only be able to view in 1080 if you have dvi. Most all the STB's don't have this yet. The content providers, for a couple of years...
