    Sony NS999ES or NS9100ES

    I am really not familiar with either , but , from what I have read the 999ES would be my choice. I like the build quality of some of the "older" stuff as opposed to the newer models. Good luck Gary 

    Any Idea When XBox wil have a Price Cut ?

    Thanks for your replies :emoji_thumbsup: I had a feeling that it was due , I guess I`ll just have to wait and see. $99.99 sounds like a fair price for a "core system". If it comes to be , I think I`ll buy it :D Thanks again for your help ! Gary ;)

    Hi Michael, Yes I have tried "poking" around the service menu ( of course , not putting any changed setting to memory ) , and I do have the service manual for my set. I always had it in the back of my mind to have it calibrated , but things have always seemed to get in the way. I know that...

    I Have a Question About ISF Calibration / Please Help , Thanks

    Hi Guy`s, I`m writing this post for help with a question about ISF calibration. As many of you know already very few tube tv`s are perfect out of the box , and as such require a skilled “touch” to be perfect. My question is , with so many tv`s on the market today , most have different user...

    New Sony's?

    Hi , If you lack component space "Cable Card`s" seem like a good idea. However the down side is that cable co.`s charge a service fee , where as if you just wanted a "box" you could pick on up and install it yourself. The cable co.`s are worried that someone will have a hack for the card and...

    Axiom EP500 Subwoofer ?

    Hi Tom , Thank you VERY much :emoji_thumbsup: for your reply and help !! WOW you sure did explain it well. So unless a sub as a switch to turn off the internal crossover , it will always remain active. Good to know. I guess a lot of subs today have that switch (LFE-IN) If a sub has that...

    Do you have your center channel set to large ?

    My center is a 3 way Boston VR12 (2-6.5" +1-4.5" +1'' tweeter) it has a range of 55~20K and the manual says set your amp for large , NO WAY , !! It may have a good range , but I have found that a "small" setting and raising the center level as needed is a safer way to go. Before that I had a...

    Axiom EP500 Subwoofer ?

    Hi Tom, Thanks for the info :) So if I understand you correctly , the DSP performs the same function as a "mechanical" servo , put does so in a digital domain. So it will basical correct and diminish the amount of distrotion that would be created by say a non "digital - non servo" sub. Is...

    JBL E250P subwoofer problem:

    Hi Ken, Thanks for the advice , I would like to keep it around 1K. I figure that should get me something that will "rattle" the floor boards LOL. I have a Velodyne F1200 and it`s A-OK with music , but when it comes to some of the newer DD & DTS sound tracks it just can`t make the grade...

    video signal problems...help, please!

    What you could try is a direct video connection to the tv and see if that clears up the problem. If it does then , it would be best to connect your dvd player directly to the tv ( if you have the connections on the tv ) 90 Zenith , it must have at least two (S + composite ). If so leave the...
