Biggest Live Miss 23 years ago today............
OK, I wasn't old enough to make Woodstock, was supposed to see Led Zeppelin the year JB died, and the show obviously was cancelled, but the one I really kick myself for is Stevie Ray Vaughan. I had several chances to go see him, but there was alwa... 
Sony 9000es v. Phillips 963SA - anyone compared?
For what it's worth, I got the Philips DVD 963SA from J&R music world for $370 shipped three months ago!!! It's redbook is pretty good, very smooth, but no where near the dynamics of my Linn Ikemi, but for the money, probably unbeatable. Krell... 
TV selections
I also was waiting out the HD standard, but just dropped my 32" Proscan on it's face while getting the house painted, so I had to buy a new TV. I had been ‘in the market’ so to speak for over five years, and there’s not a TV I’ve not seen nor read... 
How many lines for standard TV, HDTV, DVD, S-Video
In your standard TV, there are 480 horizontal lines, interlaced. HD can go to 720 progressive or 1080 interlaced. S-video will help with clarity, but doesn't change the number of horizontal lines, the same with component connections, again better ... 
How many AudiogoNers are amateur chefs?
I learned to cook as a bachelor, it was a great, and cheap date deal to get them to your house and prepare the meal....now, married, I find I do quite well. The best thing I do is combine the things I like into a meal, so I'm never dissatisfied wi... 
I can't find a box to ship my speakers,,,,,,,,,,,,
Most Mail Boxes etc and other packing stores have people who crate for them, I wouldn't recomend using them to ship as they are expensive, but with a little tack you might find out who makes their crates..... 
$1500-2000 Used Pre/Pro Recommendations
In that range you've got a lot of nice units as long as you don't need internal HDTV switching. Some that come to mind in this price range..Proceed PAV/PDSD...this WAS a $10,000 pair, but they have been selling regularly for less than $2000, and a... 
Flea market or serious audio deals?
I have been using A-gon for a few years, and built almost my entire system from it. I think it all comes down to what the market will bear....Case in point, I had a Linn Ikemi, which I sold for $2000 or 55% of retail. I don't feel that was a bad d... 
What did he say? Misunderstood lyrics.
Cpdunn99...you are amazingly close.Inagaddagavida was actually written by half of Iron Butterfly when they where in Europe. Wanting to get the rest of the band to learn the song before they got home they called them and sang it to them over a rath... 
Best of dvd-audio and sacd discs?
As far as DVD Audio, nothing I've heard comes close to ELP Brain Salad Surgery....the album was made for multichannel! 
Mixing Amps in a HT Set-up?
As far as using different amps, yes you can, however you will encounter a balance problem beyond simply calibrating the system with a sound meter as Kthomas has suggested. You will find that yes, that can easily be done, but the volumes of the dif... 
Linn activ cards installation
Both myself and a local friend have done this on our own, as we hate the local Linn dealer. It's not too difficult. I did it with 5105's and 5140's, so I had to remove the crossovers too. I think the Ninka's have the newer crossovers that allow yo...
