From the Blue Jeans Cables home page "Blue Jeans Cable now carries DVI cables, HDMI cables, and HDMI/DVI cables. After a lengthy search for cables capable of reliably carrying parallel digital video signals without information loss over distance, we now offer both single and dual link DVI-D...

How's about Flight of the Phoenix. The plain crash scene is loud and long.

Bob, in your price range and with your other equipment you will probabaly not notice any difference between players. But don't get the $50 Walmart special. It won't last and it will look like sh!t. I have a Sony DVPNS575PS. I had it hooked up to a 27" SD Panasonic before I got an HDTV and I...

As a public service I though I would share that World Sound & Vision in Square One shopping centre in Mississauga appears not to be selling Nuance speakers anymore. There new brand of choice is something called Ikon Audio. Web site here, www.ikon-audio.com. Anybody have a chance to listen to...

Try playing around with phase settings and see if that helps the dip as ~56Hz. Edit-That is with the crossover at 60Hz.

A splitter is not necassary, and it adds 2 more connection points. Now it is rare to have a problem with one but there is still the possibility. Like Seth said, unless you are having a problem with the sub not getting enough signal to turn it on, don't waste your money.

I am not saying I want to do this but there have been plenty of times I have rented a movie and liked it so much I decided to purchase it afterwards. If I am going to buy it anyway why not just keep the one that is already at my house. I buy most of my movies previously viewed anyway so I...

TonyD you seem to be the expert here. Can you answer me the following? 1. For previous releases, typically there is only one copy kept in stock. If a customer deceides to not return the rental how long does BB wait to restock that title? 2. If I rent a movie and decide that I don't want to...

Both Paradigm and Energy make a wide variety quality speakers in different price ranges. Both companies come from the same lineage and strive to achieve the same goals. Any difference determined between the two as better or worse when comparing similar priced speakers is more likely then not due...

If it's a difference in sound then it should be FR related. Plot the FR in both rooms, get an EQ, and match the basement to the living room.

With a crossover at 120hz phase could be the problem. Have you tried adjusting the phase on the JBL? The only way to really see if it is lacking in the region you are describing is to plot the output with test tones and an spl meter. But if you have some scrap wood give it a go. You may also...

It is hit or miss at best. There is no telling what if any diff it would make or in what region. Have you plotted the responce of you sub? Where is your crossover? Possibly you have a phase issue. In the 85-150HZ if you have a typical 80Hz crossover your mains are having as much impact on...

What about stands?

I say start a point 2. Some things to think about when setting the pre/pro level though. Setting this level too high can introduce distortion into the signal so it is best to keep it as low as possible. Any below +5 or +6 is probably ok, but lower the better. However having it it is too...

Try here they will be under parts and components, connectors, spades and bananas.
