    Eliminating ground loop with cheater plug

    The ground loop on my system caused by my cable tv is really starting to irritate me. Now I read in the basics area that this is caused when youre using equipment with the 3rd prong. And it says specifically not to use the 3 prong to 2 prong convertor. Anyway, the only piece of equipment...

    Major buzz problem coming from Cable TV cable! What can I do?

    Ive always been having a problem with buzzing on my setup, and I decided to finally figure out what was going on. Whenever I connected the cable box to my receiver using the coaxial digital out, I got a major buzz. The kind of buzz that makes it impossible to enjoy what youre watching. And...

    WTB: Starter HT Set

    Looking to get back into HT, I've got a receiver, all I need is speakers now. Looking for something under $300 total, size isnt as much of a concern as sound is. Definitely want clarity over volume if given a choice. Email me at [email protected], the fastest way to get to me.

    FS: Dreamcast with 6 games

    It was a damn good deal, I cant wait to get it. The svideo cable just sealed the deal for me. ;) Hate to say it guys, but you snooze you lose. :D Thanks for the deal, can't wait to play it on monday.

    Good, Tight, Strong 8-10 inch sub?

    Yeah, sloppy is the way I'd describe the SA-WM40. My girlfriend might be able to do a little woodwork, how much is necessary? For one thing, I dont know how to solder, and I dont really plan on starting. At most she'd be cutting with a hand saw or dremel, she definitely wouldnt have access to...

    Good, Tight, Strong 8-10 inch sub?

    Well, the first one is WAY out of my price range. The second one, I have to wonder why its so inexpensive. Any other suggestions? Links to reviews would be helpful.

    Good, Tight, Strong 8-10 inch sub?

    Right now I'm using a Sony SA-WM40, and its a good sub and all, but its too loose and boomy. Even with the polyfill mod, its just too much to handle. I'm looking for a much tighter sub that will give a better thump for music, but still go down nice and low for movies. Plus, 12 inches is a bit...

    Under $200 5.1 Receiver?

    You have to understand, I'm on a serious budget here. I'd love to spend hundreds on the receiver alone, but its just not necessary for me yet. I plan on doing so when I graduate and get my own place, but not just yet. Besides, having anything but computer speakers in your dorm is already...

    Hows this paradigm setup? How much could I get it for in canada?

    Wow, those axiom speakers look nice, and Ive just read some impossibly glowing reviews. The M3Tis are a little large for me. Could I get away with the M2Ti and the M1Ti or M0Ti for the rears? How is the VP50 for a center? Are there any other affordable subs, say 10" or so?

    Under $200 5.1 Receiver?

    Thanks! The Pioneer VSX-511 looks like exactly what I need. Will it drive a pair of Axiom M3Tis, M2Tis for rear and a Axiom center well?

    Under $200 5.1 Receiver?

    Think I need to make one thing clear that probably isnt.... This is for a 7x9 dorm room. I'd prefer not to get arrested, so 60-80W is more than enough for me. I used to have a sherwood 6090R 60x5, and it was more than enough.

    Hows this paradigm setup? How much could I get it for in canada?

    A year ago I paid $249US retail for shielded titans. Seeing you pay $189CD for the same bring a tear to my eye. I'm planning on going up near niagra, toronto I believe. Any suggestions on specific places to go? If I buy a whole set at once, will I get a price break? I've always been...

    Under $200 5.1 Receiver?

    Looking to buy a new receiver soon. I'd like to keep it under $200. Since I'm hooking it up to 5 Paradigm Atoms, anything over 60W is basically overkill. So power is not of a concern to me. I need S-video switching, and Pro Logic II and DTS are major pluses. Whats out there?

    And any idea how much a PDR-8 or 10 would go for? Will there be any problem taking these across the border?

    Wow, I knew they were cheaper up there, but thats awesome! Thats almost half the price of what we have to pay on ebay for em here in the us... Anywhere theres a quick currency calc?

    Hows this paradigm setup? How much could I get it for in canada?

    Since paradigm is located in Canada, I've heard that their speakers can be bought for significantly cheaper. I'm looking at getting 4 Atoms and a CC-170. Will likely be adding my Sony SA-WM40 Sub to the mix. Will it be a good mix, with the mains for clarity and the sub filling in the low...

    Could use a few suggestions on setup (Subwoofer settings, rear speakers)

    Currently my system consists of: Sherwood RVD-6090R DD5.1 Receiver Pair of Paradigm Titans Sony SA-WM40 Subwoofer I bought these parts after researching for days. These seem to be the best I could buy for the buck, while still staying reasonably affordable. Now for the questions: My...
