Looking for a crt color analyzer to start doing calibrations. Anyone have something for sale? Ben

If I were to add a second sub to my system, where is the ideal location and what is the ideal method of hooking it up? Currently my tv is in a corner placement with the subwoofer behind it, I could possible put the second sub behind my couch (which is in the opposite corner)...the B&W subs have...

I really think people are putting too much stock in the secrets shootouts, it seems to me that the shootout determines the quality of the player by doing a bunch of de-interlacing tests. For someone like me who basically watches movies, most players perform fine with 3:2 pulldown. And as for the...

A very general question here...do power amps lose any of their juice over time or can they be expected to maintain their performance for many years? Also, will playing the amplifier more cause it to wear out earlier or is this a non factor?

Any of you have opinions as to who makes the best DD/DTS decoders? Also, do you know who incorporates certain decoders in their gear? I am looking for a dvd player with a built in decoder, but I want it to be top notch, and although the rp-82 meets all my needs otherwise, I've only read...

Hi! I would like to hear some good points on this debate...do all dvd players sound the same if you use the digital connection?? I would hope not, but logic says that it may be true. Somebody....give me some points on this...please! As a second note, is there any players that are renowned for...

I recently bought a HK AVR520 and was really disappointed with stereo sound...I mean REALLY disappointed. The stereo sound was annoying and harsh, I was quite mad. I talked to my retailer and he said to be sure to use the analog outs from my dvd player when playing stereo music. I went home and...

I just brought home a new B&W ASW600, they're not even up on the B&W website yet. I previously owned the ASW500 and the ASW1000, and this unit outperforms both in my installation. I always found the 1000 to be a great powerful sub, but a little loose and maybe even too powerful sometimes. The...

I recently upgraded to a Harman Kardon 520 and I thought I might like to listen to some cd's, the manual said that the optical connection would be best since the Harman has 192bit Dac's. The manual is WRONG! If I hook up my dvd player via the analog out, it sounds great, much warmer. Stereo...

4 polk rt35i's for sale, about 2 months old, built in mounting brackets. Best offer takes them. Ben

I am about to spark another debate, and that is that in most instances a home theater will sound fuller, deeper and more realistic WITHOUT a center channel. Unless you are sitting way off axis. I have been doing some extensive testing with and without a center, I find with a center channel that...

Can those of you out there with 2 subs talk about the difference it made to your system. Also, what would be better 2 moderate subs or one big one?? I prefer a tighter faster bass rather than boomy, muddy bass. Any experiences or ideas are appreciated. Another thing, if you had 2 subs would it...

I would like to sparc this debate because I feel strongly about it and I don't think many of you even consider it. The fact is that newer dvd players with built in decoders will sound much better hooked up with the analogue outputs hooked up to the 6 channel ins of your receiver rather than...

I have the chance to buy a pair of RT25i's at a great price, but I only want one, to be used as my center channel. It's magnetically shielded and would be perfect between 2 more 25's which I already have. If you have 25's or 35's and want the best center channel match, get back to me and we can...

Anybody heard of a 6 channel preamp that can be used with outboard processors? Preferably the unit wouldn't have any processing which would add to the cost. I would like to get a dvd player with built in decoders (dts, dd,) and route the analogue outputs to a simple preamp which is basically...

Anybody have experience with this amplifier. I'm thinking of upgrading and I love the sound of Harman amps and I'm wondering if this amp lives up to others in the HK family. It seems like HK quality control has taken a couple of steps back recently, does this amp make the grade??? let me know...

Just looking for some advice on taming my home theater room, it's a little too bright. I realize different materials for taming a room, it's talked about quite often in here. But what I never seem to get is advice on where to put these objects... Where should sound absorbers be located? In the...
