    infocus 4805-great deal

    Costco's return policy for non-computer stuff is basically as long as you reutrn it before the next millennium, they will accept it back with no problems with or without box. If you are around long enough, I think they will also accept the return after the next millennium.. For computer...

    LaMarcus: From what I got of the film, Maxx's limo business was nothing more than his lies to his mom and his passengers. He 's been driving the cad for 12 years and yet he's been telling his mom that he's driving famouse clients around in his limo business. Its just one of those lies that if...

    A thermometer and a scale will tell you which is the best receiver.

    I think we are going into symantecs (sp?) here but a component cable is also a composite cable... (in terms of use) but a composite cable cannot be used as a component cable... The only difference should be 75-ohms for the video as you stated..

    A thermometer and a scale will tell you which is the best receiver.

    If I am not mistaken, composite cables are cables with RCA connectors. while component cables are the same with the exception that they are 75-ohms (hence for video).. But I could be mistaken...

    Rotel stereo Pre-amps

    As I mention before, I have the RC-1070 hooked up to my RB-1080. I have driven a pair of Martin Logan Ascents before that belong to my friend. There is no problems driving the ML... However, I am not a big fan of Electrostatic speakers...

    Rotel stereo Pre-amps

    I currently have the RC-1070 pre-amp and like it very much. Regarding the sub output, I do not know of any stereo pre-amp that has a sub preout since stereo two channel does not contain a LFE channel that requires a LFE out. What the 1070 does have it even better than a sub(LFE) output channel...

    Rotel 1066

    Do you know what features the new 1068 would have over the 1066? If the features are not much different or important, I think there will be some good deals on the 1066 because of its discontinued..

    Energy Speaker's

    I currently own a set of the C-7's, C-6's, 3.2e, eXL:16's. I have always been a very big Energy fan and love the sound they reproduce. But I have noticed that speakers, like most other components, tend to be very preferential and you should listen to all brands and be your own judge. Here's a...

    Anybody own B&W

    I had a pair of 804's and like them very much. But I traded them in for a pair of Energy Veritas 2.4 and I also like them very much. Between the two, I like the overall openess of the B&W but the excellent mids in the Energy's ( I listen to alot of vocals) won the toss up. Both are great...

    The "Real Cable-Test Debate"

    It should not really matter which cable we test, the higher end the system, the better it will resolve and "DISPLAY" the differences in the signal.

    no center speaker is better.... I'm sure of it now!

    This is non debatable since it is a preference thing and is not measurable. Everyone has a different opinion on this and frankly everyone is correct.

    The "Real Cable-Test Debate"

    Tan, I must agree with them that you must use as high end a system available for the test. Receivers will usually not be of high enough resolution and will thus be unfair to those that are performing the tests. As long as one set of cable is set constant, say the pre-amp to the power amp, and...

    The "Real Cable-Test Debate"

    Lee, Thank you for the Birthday wish.. Much appreciated :D Also, If I have mis-understood your testing methods, then my apologies. Yes I do agree that both sides should come together to agree on a fair test procedure. As for the test in NY, I would love to come and be a part of it but due...

    The "Real Cable-Test Debate"

    Lee, Let me get this straight.. We have a debate on interconnects cables and you say hey.. lets do a test on speaker wires and use the results for the interconnect debate?? Is it me or is that logic flawed.. First of all.. the debate was on interconnects.. not speaker wire, second...

    The "Real Cable-Test Debate"

    Tan, The problem in your thoery is that you assumed that believers will step up to the plate and accept the challenge. YOU ARE WRONG!!! As you will see from the following post, the believers will not step up to the plate. All they seem to do is talk the talk but they never build enough...

    Audiophiles Perspective on Cable Break-In

    Lee, When it comes to cables, there are two main camps. Those who believe that cables do make a difference, those who do not believe cables make a difference, In truth, I believe that those whom belong in the two camps are very strong minded and no amount of persuasion can change their...
