    speaker and subwoofer care

    You are probably underpowering your speakers, which is about the worst thing you can do if you crank them. Too little power blows speakers, not too much. In other words, you're overtaxing the receiver/amp, which can blow your speakers. You can keep the sub on all the time.

    If you go DLP, get a 3-chip design.

    Cleaning Tape Deck Heads

    That should be fine - the 99% is key. Don't use the regular, less-pure kind. Along with the heads, don't forget the capstan and pinch roller. Demagnetizing is important too. Just be sure to have your amplifier off or you'll blow your speakers. PS - I assume you are talking about an audio...

    Try radio shack 15-1859. If it doesn't work for you, just return it.

    Will Yamaha DVD-S2500 support HDCD?

    Thanks for the link, Eric. I had seen it and, while it doesn't say HDCD and the machine doesn't have an HDCD insignia, one never knows. And yes, Feisal, I'm looking for decoding capability. I have a lot of HDCD. I'll probably end up with the 3910.

    Connection help please - buzz

    Thanks, that looks like it should work. I'm wondering if Radio Shack has anything similar. And yes, the hum is coming from the incoming cable.

    Sony Grand Wega Comparisons

    Why ebay a bad idea to purchase from?

    I agree with Craig and Ryan. I've bought tons of stuff on EBAY, but only 1 expensive electronics item. It was from a seller I could pick it up from, so it was OK. Otherwise, I'd only buy from someone TONS of feedback and it must be over 99% positive (anything below that isn't really...

    Looking to purchase floorstanding speakers soon

    For speakers, I'd seriously consider a pair of used B&W's off ebay or audiogon. Speakers are one component that is a good bargain used, and a good pair never go "bad." These are far superior (for the price) to almost anything you'd see at Tweeter...

    image kind of dithers or disinigrates on camera pans on my dlp. What is this?

    Gotta be rainbows. Is this a single chip set? The problems are much less with the 3-chip designs.

    Can't decide what TYPE of TV I want...

    Why not a direct view CRT, 34" (16x9) or 40" (3x2)? From 7-8 feet it would be great.

    Advice for a big (>= 65") CRT?

    2 channel, seperate preamp?

    It's the two preamps/one set of speakers things that probably makes it undoable. I'd like to avoid putting 2 channel through and AV preamp at all. Amplifier switch...will it work with preamps? hmmm.....

    2 channel, seperate preamp?

    I'd like to have a seperate passive preamp, if possible, for regular 2-channel listening. I'm not sure how I'd go about this and still use the same amp and (front) speakers as home theater. Can I use the digital out of a DVD player to a DAC to accomplish this? How would I go to the amp...

    Sony 50" LCD TVs - kf-50xbr800 vs kdf-50we610 vs kdf-50we655

    I've read that the WE610/WE655 replace the old XBR800 at 50", and are "better" than the XBR800, despite not being labeled XBR. The 60" and 70" XBR sets are the new top of the line.
