| Should I do it or Not??? Tech question You've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, Royy? | |
| Uneven speaker cable lengths and cable termination Assuming sufficient AWG, at those distances you cannot hear any difference and equal lengths are not required. If I were purchasing commercial speaker cable I'd probably buy equal lengths 'cause that's how most pairs are sold & re-sold. Otherw... | |
| UltraBit Platinum, does it work? Yes it works, exactly as intended - it takes $65 out of your pocket and transfers that money into the pocket of Mr. Louis.Beyond that, you might want to expand your search beyond this forum for additional input (nee insight) and discussion on UBP. | |
| Recommend To Me Some Tuba Music Tuba. Seriously, tuba? This is all just so wrong.OK, maybe if someone has the tuba rendition of Flight of the Bumblebee... http:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK43VbP0-fsCanadian Brass and New Orleans jazz is where I've usually heard good tuba. | |
| If cables can break-in, can they then wear-out? Heathens! Y'all must become one with the cable...Well, that is for 12 to at most 24 months (depending upon usage patterns) at which time they will have become so tired and worn that they cannot transport your precious electrons with safety and eff... | |
| samsung52" vs sharp52" The more responses you'll get, the more they'll likely be different. Sony used to be tops, then Sharp Aquos used to be the best, and now Samsung's top-end units are typically better than either - that's according to my old eyes (and I've decreed t... | |
| Emotiva UPA-7 question General agreement seems to be that the Denon is a very good unit - and you like it just fine for HT, right? Maybe what might work best for your direction is to go w/ a 2- (or 3-?) channel amp to really drive your fronts. Depending upon your budget... | |
| 2 channel amp to upgrade Pioneer Elite Receiver As usual, I can second the nomination for Odyssey. I just happen to be listening to a Pio Elite through Odyssey for the fronts while typing this. And based upon our extensive sample size (of 1) we have found 100% of such users are very, very satis... | |
| TV Selection: Two Questions No, plasma does not have a "short" life expectancy (unless you consider watching it 24 hrs/day at cranked levels for several years short). Even given that, I still tend to advise against plasma - generally higher electrical costs, noticeable scree... | |
| Need a little helpful advice The amount of "upgrade" would depend upon where you're coming from and that wasn't in your post so we'll probably all just make our opinionated guesses. My guess (or my personal preference, to be honest) might be to go with a good receiver (buy on... | |
| AV receiver with hd radio tuner... I can think of a few manufactures w/ receivers w/ HD radio tuners - Denon, Pioneer, Yamaha, Marantz, Onkyo/Integra for starters. Google or your own favorite search engine is your friend on this one for models and specifics. | |
| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? "What am I missing?" Well, for starters - just how old are you? If you weren't around then that explains a lot...We're all a product of our experience, and the collective wisdom that identified this as one of the greatest all lived through that er... | |
| How can you not have multichannel system Maybe things have somehow changed over the years, but as far back as I can remember (and was at all involved) there was actually very, very little that was ever recorded in stereo. The vast majority of true "recorded in stereo" titles that I ever ... | |
| Background noise problems I thought you pretty much had your answer after try #3. It's based around the McCormack and the connection w/ the Herron. Sorry, but I don't know enough of the details on input & output of those two, but the easy approach would simply be "how ... | |
| In market for AVR and need suggestions Since you're fine w/ buying off AG, did you check the Denon receivers currently in the Miscellaneous:Receiver section? And while you're there, maybe consider the Pioneer (it's listed in the header as a 49-txh but the body of the listing describes ... |
