They look like a DB25 to six RCA cable. Certain surround processors and amplifiers in the early-mid 90's used a DB25 connection for their six channel output or input. These cables would allow you to use the DB25 jack of that component with standard RCA jacks. It makes for easier connection on...

Eh? The VSX-94 is $1300 and the SC-05 is $1800. I thought $700 was the maximum? My suggestion is the Onkyo 805, which can be had for less than $600. The amplifiers and power supply in the 805 are very much stronger than the 806. Otherwise the units are comparable, except that the 806 has two...

The 1018 has NO S-video inputs, whereas the VSX-01 has four. The 1018 does offer an additional rear panel optical input, however. I couldn't do without the S-video, and wanted five digital inputs on the back, so actually, neither of these worked for me.

Over at AVS forum, this has been discussed many times. It's been so long (couple years since I built my screen!), I don't remember the exact details. Ah, here we go, found a thread with them. Starts rolling off very gently about 1kHz by about 1 dB/octave, slightly more in the top octaves, to be...

I am using the Coated Celtic Cloth from Dazian. It's cheap, available in insane widths, and works great. It's also reasonably acoustically transparent, if you need that type of thing (I did), but also somewhat light transparent too, for that reason. I used their heavyweight Duvetyne (seems to...

Sure, that combination could absolutely work. I am using those very woofers in an MTM arrangement using the ApexJr shielded silk dome tweeter. I don't remember my crossover frequencies off the top of my head, but I do remember I needed quite a bit of underlap. That is, I started rolling the...

Derek, I believe I can shed some light on this, as I have a VR-5090, the next model up. Our receivers don't have 7.1 processing at all, it's 6.1. Yes, there is a left and a right surround back preamp output, and you CAN adjust the levels independently for each speaker. However, both outpus...

Dorian, Yes, it is tough to find information on these, as they weren't in the market too long. It has one very minor scratch on the top (and I mean the top, not on the front near the top) of the front fascia. I'll get a picture of that tonight and other views. Otherwise it's in new condition...

Dorian, Just FYI, I won't be able to check actual email until I get home, about 9 hours from now. So don't think I'm ignoring you. :) Wasn't able to get pictures yet. Aaron Gilbert

Hi folks. I have a five channel Legacy LUM-A1 amplifier for sale. It's made by Proton, and is the same internally as a Proton AA-2580 (and extremely close externally). Rated power is 80w per channel into eight ohms, and 120w per channel into four ohms. It has a two speed cooling fan in the back...

Mike, I think the several people who have already mentioned it are probably correct, that your front speakers are set to large. If so, when you put in a CD, or any source not having a ".1" channel, no bass will be sent to the subwoofer. There's a slight possibility that if you pick a surround...

Tina, I got the SG-1 sets today, all in perfect condition. Thanks a bunch! Sorry about the email thing, it should have come through ok i thought, but it may be your address didn't get added to my approved list like I thought. With 100+ geniune spams per day, sometimes I don't read through the...

Tina, That sounds like a deal to me. I am feeling good tonight, how about $145 for Seasons 1-5? I presume that includes shipping as you said in the original post. I'll send you an email asap and if everything's cool will Paypal you the money tonight! Aaron

Tina, Do you still have Stargate SG-1 available? I'm interested in seasons 1-5. Any discount for buying that many? Ok this may be a dumb question, but I presume they are the US version and widescreen? I don't know if a different version was available in the US but I haven't checked. Thanks...

A few thoughts: I don't think having a small section down to 3/4" thick is going to make a bit of difference when the remainder is 2.25" thick. However, those posts have a 1.5" long shaft, so it's unclear to m why you would need a recessed section any thinner than about 1.25" for those...
