Frankly I am not surprised. Having sold Mid/High level AV gear for over four years I have encountered several manufactuer web sites with incorrect information. It never fails to amaze when a customer builds a cabinet for a specific televsion only to find that the web site was wrong by two...

At the end of Mulan when the Emporer bows down and the entire city follows suit. That brought real tears into my eyes. -Dave

The big difference (and to my recollection the only performance difference) is that the 65" set has 9 inch CRT guns. This gives a surface area of 63.61 square inches vs the 38.48 square inches that the 7 inch guns on the 55" set offers. The upshot is that it's a much superior picture. -Dave

Aux, Where did you get the $400 number? -Dave

Hi all, I was going over some things recently and stumbled onto a Velodyne press release announcing the future release of a subwoofer calibration system. It will include the 2.0 software version of the system they currently use for their DD subwoofers. The external box will be able to be used...

Good luck with the new job. I've been selling A/V gear for 3 1/2 years and still get a kick out of it. Does your store offer any training for sales associates? I find it difficult to belive that they would open a new store without making sure the staff had a basic understanding of the things...

Polks may not be discounted for any reason. No amount of haggling will get you a penny off regardless of the store. -Dave

I am a bit confused. You say: "I feel like I've been a victim of the slick willies over at Tweeter's. Not to bash Tweeter because usually their service is top notch." Ignoring the point that you are, in fact, bashing Tweeter; why does the rest of your post only deal with your...

Dumbo ran 61 minutes. -Dave

Well, the simple answer is that a high definition signal from satellite is significantly more detailed than a dvd. -Dave

Hi all, I am creating custom runs for my component video and s-video lines. I have decided to use copper shielded RG59 cable. Unfortunately, I am unable to locate the ends needed for this project. I need an adapter that takes bare RG59 cable at one end and has a male RCA plug at the...

Hi all, I'm having a disagreement with somebody I work with. He asserts that Direct Stream Digital(DSD)was created and tested in 1980. I believe that to be completely false. Does anybody know what year the DSD technology was introduced and what the first studio album recorded with it was...

Bruce, It's interesting that you've said this. I have, in fact, already had the gate time set to slightly over 200. What should the slice time be? -Dave ps. thank for the help everybody. It's great that the people on this forum take time out of their busy days to help each other.

Bruce, The highest the time slice option seems to go is 160. Am I missing something? -Dave

I am using a Velodyne FSX12 servo controled subwoofer. It is crossed over inside the receiver (B&K AVR507) at 80Hz. -Dave
