I'd like to hear some of you weigh in on whether I should go with a 32" conventional or a 27" HD ready TV. The two types of sets are at about the same price point at the local circuit city. I've heard it said that at this size the HD does not add much. Really, I'm looking for a new tv in the

I just bought the SkiFi receiver, installed it in my home, and I'm researching the best way is to affordably install it in my Passat. I have the Delphi SkiFi Car Kit, but could return it. Is there better equiptment that costs less or a little more? I plan to put the SkiFi on the dash and the...

I've done a couple of searches and come up empty. I've got a couple of scratched CDs I want to repair. What is the best gadget for repairing CDs? How about Skip Doctor? Or, DiscRx? Or, Scotch CD and CD-ROM Surface Scratch Remover Kit?

I'm thinking of joinging BMG and getting some Miles CDs. I was consider the following: Miles Davis All StarsWalkin' Miles Davis QuintetRelaxin' With Miles Looking on Amazon I see they are available in a 20-bit digitially re-mastered form. How can I tell if the ones at BMG are the same...

When I play CD's and set the volume on my Denon above 0, the low end music does not sound right. The detail seems to go out of the bass. I know I said distortion in the title, but I'm not sure if that is technically the right term for the problem I am hearing. Based on what I hear, I suspect...

On sale for $89. It had S-video and component outs, a co-ax audio out, and a silver front panel. I don't need progressive scan or in-board audio decoders (have Denon 1802). I would like one that put's out a 16:9 picture, as I plan on doing the squeeze to my Tosiba 27AF41. Finally, I figure...

I've got a couple of scratched up CD's where there are skips and drop-out. I read an old thread about this. It seems most folk were recommending a home product called some thing like "DVD Disc Doctor." Any other recomendation like that? Where can it be purchased?

Keep in mind I am not an 'audiophile', just a guy with two kids and a wife who happens to really like listening to music and decided to start building a HT one piece at a time. I've had a pair of PS2062s for about a week now. A Dennon 1802 provides the power, and a vintage Sony CD player...

I see a lot of posts about sub-woofers that use this term. I know it will be difficult to define in writing, but I'd really appreciate it if someone would give it a try.

Just got new speakers (Acoustic Researc 2062) and was planning on putting them in a book shelf. 2 questions: 1) The manual says the front of these speakers should be flush with the front of the bookshelf. Why is this? Do I have to do it? 2) These speakers have a port on the back (for the...

I am planning on putting my new bookshelf speakers (AR 2602s) in a solid wood bookshelf. Do I need to put felt or some other insulator between them and the wood, or can I just chuck 'em in there?

Why does the volume on my 1802 go from -64 to 18? In the good old days volume was meassured on a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being the loudest. If you wanted something really loud maybe you had special equiptment that went to 11. What are the new numbers meant to represent? (Don't just...

What is the best way to inexpensively (< $30) improve the radio reception on my soon-to-be-purchased Denon 1802 receiver. I'd like to improve both AM and FM, but will take advice on either. Do things like the "TERK AM/FM Antenna Tower" work? Incidentally, its available at circuit city for $20.

I've budgeted $300 to get a new receiver, and focused mainly on Stereo receivers (Yamaha, Onkyo, Denon) for 2 reasons. 1) Surround receivers in this price range tend to be missing S-video ins and outs. 2) An assumption that Stereo Receivers available at this price will out-perform Surround...

I was planning on buying the Toshiba 27AF41, but have seen some reviews complaining of geometry problems. Similar complaints about the Sony Flat Screen. If I get Avia, go in and make adjustments which set will end up with the better picture? Is flatscreen even worth it? I need to stay...

I was planning on getting a Toshiba 27A41, but a gentlemen has found what appears to be a great deal on an Akai CFT2790 ($379 for 27" flat screen w/ component in and squeeze trick). This TV appears to be a clone of the Samsung TXL2791F. I am also interested in hearing comments on the Samsung...

I run my analog cable tv through a 4-way splitter. There are problems with reception centering around channels 10 and 69, these channels come in poorly, the channels adjacent to them have mediocre recption and everything else is fine. Any suggestions for improving reception? One of the four...
