I agree with Chu, and this was explained only a few threads earlier: other thread The reason A/V cables (75 Ohm cable) have the industry-wide label of A/V (Audio/Video) is because it works perfectly for all three of the following scenarios: 1) 50 Ohm analog audio with RCA connectors 2)...

Seth, I own a Marchand XM9-L and found it to be of very high quality although it is a bit expensive, but if you can build a kit it is cheaper. Still I would reccomend looking at the site to get a feel for what specs you want in a xover. Here is the website page

The fact is today's 75 Ohm RCA cables are labeled A/V because they are designed to work for both analog audio data streams, digital audio data streams, and analog video data streams. In other words, your suggested use for a 75 Ohm RCA cable is part of these cable's defined uses.

Mark, IMO, 1280 x 1024 on a 19" is a lot easier to read than on my 17" LCD, and I'm a member of the over the hill gang whose eyes aren't like they were 20 years ago.

Maybe I'm incorrect, but I thought with LCD screens the only spec that really mattered for sharpness/clarity in viewing was the total number of pixels (i.e. the native resolution of the LCD). For instance, on my 19" LCD that native resolution is 1280 x 1024 pixels (1,310,720 pixels). Other...

I've been using AVG virus and Zonealarm firewall on my computers since win98se in 1999 ? not sure of the date. I've never had any issues. Still using them, but I also use an old pc with bsdFree sw as a hardware firewall now that I'm on DSL.

Paul, You sorta missed the point of what Jeremy was asking. :D I know DVI can be more accurate, but I was giving my real world example of differences between VGA and DVI out from the same video card to two (2) 19" LCD monitors simultaneously, of the same size/brand/model. i.e. Twinview on...

Well I don't have any measurement equipment, but I didn't get the impression that they were adding "stuff" back into the audible frequency band. What peaked my interest more was the usb>I2S>DAC>anaolg out as a desirable interface for a 44.1kHz bit-perfect streaming music server. The DAC is...

OK, so what do you think of tube DACs ? Have you tried any of the Scott Nixon NOS DACs ? I'm trying to decide about his usbtd (usb tube DAC), to combine with a PC-based music server.

Jeremy, On an LCD screen there is essentially no difference between the VGA versus DVI, since an LCD has a native pixel resolution (1280x1024 in this case). The only difference I can see is a very slight color shift (one is cooler/blue than the other which is warmer/red), but it is not that...

For me, I use the system for my trading (stock) and web browsing, etc. It makes one large screen (side-to-side in my case). Having both DVI and VGA inputs (the LCD monitors) allows me to use VGA and DVI dual head video cards or the nvidia 6150 dual head onboard video of some AMD mATX 939...

Wayne, How about a 19" LCD with VGA and DVI inputs and speakers for $99.99??? I bought two of these Hannis-G 19" monitors from different vendors with $100 and $120 rebates a month ago (already received the rebate check from PC connection)...

I'm assembling a backend/server (AMD Athlon 64 3000+754, ECS nForce3-A ATX mb, $99 at outpost.com) and a frontend/client (AMD Athlon 3200+939, MSI k8NGM2-FID mATX mb) over ethernet cabling running linux OS (Fedora Core 5) with MythTV as the media application. This setup is designed to...

Nope, (Bruce's HK-930) don't seem to have that problem, but I've owned it since new. Maybe someone replaced the bulb that just went out on mine with one of higher wattage that warped (melted) your needle.

You might want to check out the Harmon Kardon factory authorized site on ebay!!! HK site I just purchased an HK 240 AVR (7.1 AV receiver) from them (refurbished but with NEW warranty) for $224. It has the capability to use HK's Ipod bridge adapter (plug in Ipod to charge and play from HK)...
