I recently set up a Sony DVP-NS75H and had to use coax/optical to get DD/DTS since it did not pass them over HDMI.

SethH, the BJC HDMI cables are top quality cables at a very attractive price, plus they are CL rated for in-wall use. How about purchasing the BJC & Bettercables (Bc) HDMI and compare them. Both offer a no-hassle return. It's unlikely that you'll see a difference, and if you somehow think the Bc...

FWIW I have been using CyberPower for about 6 years. They offer a 3 yr. warranty, and their RMA process is solid. I use CyberPower 825 AVR's on both of my desktop workstations, and one exclusively for my Sony E50A10 LCD RPTV. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16842102010...

Actually I need to correct my last post. I just received a set of the Zenith compression crimpers, and after I RTFM it outlines the proper way to strip and prep the coax, then how to crimp the connector (in this case the Digicon). The guide states that you should fold or flare the braid back...

Yes, a 75ohm video cable is highly recommended. You can pick a quality cable up for about $15 from bluejeanscable.com http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/...gaudprices.htm However any cheap $5 composite 75ohm video cable will suffice if you are on an extreme budget.

Colin, the ALH1 solved my buzzing problem. Feel free to link to my thread in the RSA forum. BTW I think you meant 1' interconnect. ;)

Great news....the buzz is gone! I ran the Denon 3803 sub out to the left input on the ALH1, and the left out on the ALH1 runs to the S1000 amp input. Adjusting the pot has no effect at all on the buzz because there isn't any that is audible to my ear. I then decided to run the ALH1 out to...

I received the ALH1 a few minutes ago and decided to check out the contents of the box. The rca cable looks like something from the 1950's. :P I'll test it out when I get home. After reading the results that you guys posted I am wondering if it will really solve my problem. Like Colin's, my...

Today I borrowed my buddys compression crimper, stripper, dual shield perfect vision RG6, and the blue Digicon connectors. After making a test strip I noticed the strippers were adjusted so that it was cutting the braid comletely off! That can't be a good thing, can it? Just think....he's doing...

Hi, I did come across that site while doing a google search. However the DS6 is an F connector, and from what Kurt @ BJC said the 'flaring of the braid onto the outer jacket' really depends on the connector. I also found another thread on the Digicon connector. However even though the...

I was looking to pick up this kit: http://www.solidsignal.com/prod_disp...oom=zoom#xview Once you strip the cable are you supposed to flare the braid back over the outer jacket and then slide the connector on and crimp it down, or do you just slide the connector on and crimp? I looked for...

Thanks for the feedback. I just placed and order for the ALH1 and will report back with my results. ;)

I've searched this forum and found dozens of posts regarding the deaded buzz. The buzz in my system is very faint, and you have to put your ears within a few inches of the speakers to hear it. Additional info: 1) I had a Lutron dimmer that was definitely adding some buzz, and once I...

I've always had my 3803 plugged into the "adjustable delay" bank on the Panamax 5300, and my sub amp in the "high current" bank. Is there any benefit of connecting the 3803 to the "high current" bank? I am not sure if the current of the "adjustable bank" could be limiting the 3803.... Here's...
