For the purposes of this discussion, I'm talking about consumer-grade, CRT-based RPTV's only. Every time somebody here asks about new technology X, someone invariably says CRT is better. These discussions almost always center around black level and leave out some of CRT's biggest problems...

I need to reset the green convergence on my 42" Mits. It was one of the Best Buy models, I think one model year back (I don't have the exact number_. Anybody know how to get the the green convergence screen?

Must be recent model, no satellite boxes. To offset cost, I will consider building you some DIY speaker boxes (without veneer) of your choosing or throw in some I've already built.

I have just posted a new 3-way design, a diminutive tower with a side-firing Seas L22 aluminum-cone woofer, a Seas L15 aluminum-come midrange, and the venerable Morel MDT-20 tweeter. See link for more details. http://www.knology.net/~wesnor/sassyt.html

I have posted my new 3-way design, using a Peerless XLS woofer, Seas CA15 mid, and SS 8513 tweeter. Details at the link. http://www.knology.net/~wesnor/pss.html (I'm trying to beat Dennis Murphy at the "lame name" game.)

I have just posted 4 new pairs of MBOW1 cabinets on my web page. Prices are from $110 to $130 + S&H. I also have a nice pair of cherry AV-2 cabinets that nobody's bought, $150 + S&H. Pictures can be seen at: www.knology.net/~wesnor/boxes.html GR Research AV-2 info: www.gr-research.com...

I have a Mitsubishi WT-A42 (42" HDTV, Best Buy variant). Yesterday we had a power outage, and now the TV won't turn on. Does anybody know if there's a fuse or something that I can replace? Thanks, Dan

Don't know if it's kosher to post this here - it is a DIY speaker. New tweeters. One had the sticker pulled off only 2 days ago. The other was used about 25 hours in testing a 3-way. They have not been soldered on, the wires are taped in place. Both speakers were tested Saturday and work...

I've posted a new design I've been working on for a few months off-and-on. This one is a fully shielded design intended for home theater use - i.e., with a subwoofer. It uses the Seas P17RE/TV and 27TDFC/TV drivers in a sealed box. The ~80Hz F3 and second-order roll-off should blend well with a...

Didn't know if this was the right place to post this, but I'm sure most of you didn't know that it even existed: http://www.thx.com/mod/cinema/survey.html It's an -on-line form that allows you to file a complaint against a THX-approved theater. Cronic complaints can result in inspection...

I haven't been able to go to their site for 2 days...

Ignore above 80Hz. Shiva in 14" (external) cube, 15" baffle, 0.75" other walls, no bracing, heavy stuffing. LT tuning is F3=33Hz, Q=0.707. Note that with room gain, it's flat to 20Hz.

A lot of people ask about veneering and edging flexy shelves, so I thought this might be of interest... It's not difficult to build a flexy shelf out of real wood. All you need is wood that's been properly prepared, and some way to join it. Well, it turns out getting the wood is easy and...

Forgive me if this is the wrong forum... Last year, when Netflix never had any movies in stock - not even mediocre catalog titles - I dumped them for RentMyDVD. About 4-5 months ago, it started taking forever to get new releases, and now, just like Netflix a year ago, they can't even find a...

See: http://home.satx.rr.com/cblount/dbst..comparison.htm The chart shows Dish with HBO, Showtime, and Starz all in DD5.1. Is this true?

1. On Dish, Showtime, HBO, & PPV, + CBS for those who can get it. On DTV, HBO, HDNet, & PPVFV&NW (PPV for vampires & night watchmen). Is that all there is? 2. Which of these have DD5.1? Thanks, Dan

I posted this a few days ago, but got no response. I figured I'd post the entire letter, so people could read it and decide whether they want to join the letter campaign. Right now, many people in Washington believe that we don't care about HDTV, but crusing the HT forums on the net, you can...
