Alright guys the theater is ready and so is the casa, for a full tilt meet. Sat. the 5th I have access to a 2nd Panasonic AE-700 projector. For source comparison I have the top notch Onkyo DV-SP1000 THX Ultra upscaling dvd, and the new Toshiba HD-A1 HD DVD player. I have two hdmi cables,so we...
I just got a new Netgear wireless router last night and after doing thier install it has disconected my internal wireless card on my Dell laptop. Everytime I go to network connections it shows the wireless card but says disconected, not disabled. I'm now at work and have no way to access our...
Before someone says its a ground loop, let me say that it is a different kind of hum, and that I have had another sub hooked to the same outlet before with no hum. Heres the story. The sub in question is a Velodyne F1800RII. I have traded subs with my father since his theater is not ready in...
Great unit, in like new condition with latest firmware. It does great surround sound but for music listening it can't be beat in its price range. I purchased it back in Mar. and used it till July. I'm selling it because I was able to by a Krell Showcase Pre and Amp for a song. Believe it or not...
Unit is in great shape. I have had it for a little over 6 months. SACD is amazing. I am only selling because I got a new projector that has HDMI input so I want to get a player that uses that connection. If you have any questions or would like me to send pictures please feel free to cantact me...
Well the upgrade bug has bitten again. This was brought about because I was presented with the opportunity to buy a Krell Showcase Pro and amp for $5k. Does anybody have any recomendations in this same price range I might be happier with, or should I just go for the Krell combo. I do need...
Alright, the new Sony STRDA5000ES receiver is on the way and it's time to upgrade the speaks. I have a dedicated room that is 18' x 12' with an 8' ceiling. I want to go with 5 or 6 identical monitor style speakers, tired of dealing with floorstanders and I have 2 Velodyne subs for the bottom...
Well Santa was kind and has brought me a SonyES 400 disc SACD player. Problem is my Acurus ACT3 Pre/Pro doesn't have multi channel inputs. So I'm thinking what great excuse to upgrade. Wife says I got $1500 to spend (gotta love her). So let me know what is out there, that offers Multi channel...
Sold my laserdisc player so the movies got to go. $5 a piece and acutal shipping. I will use first class mail unless you buy a few, then it will be cheaper to box them up and use UPS. I am the original buyer on these so they are all in great shape, maybe even watched only once. All disc are...
Is there any diy headphones amp kits around? I just checked the Sonic Frontiers web site and they have closed down their diy company. Any other ideas out there in cyberspace?
Thanks for any ideas

I was wondering if anyone has seen any sealed sub designs that I might look into building. Possibly something small like the Sunfire or Velodyne units.
Also are are there any benefits or disadvantages to a small sealed as opposed to a large vented?

I'm looking at the DIY speaker route and I was wondering what are the benefits(if any) sound wise, between a MTM or a TM speaker layout, if I am using the same tweets and mids?

I have a Zenith Pro-880 projector in great shape with all manuals, remotes, and box. This is one of the best video grade projectors made. Very low hours and no burn in. It has anamorphic capability which really improves the picture on enhanced disc. It includes a ceiling mount which can be...
That's right I did it and I'd do it again (with the wife's permission of course). I recently sold the old truck which was replaced with a company vehicle, so I had a little foldin money. Well this cash has burned a hole in my hot little hand. So I ordered up the little NEC LT150 DLP projector...
I remember this from my laserdisc days when I rented the Japan import version. I am not much of a horror fan but this movie is great. I would love to see it come out soon.

I have a good problem. My theater is a dedicated enclosed room with light control measuring 17' x 12'8" with 9" ceiling. With my current CRT projector layout to get the 80" wide image I had set the room up with the screen on the short wall and the seating position 12' back. The wife has never...
I'm looking at getting a dvd audio or SACD player but my Acurus ACT-3 pre/pro does not have six channel pass through so I need a seperate volume control for these style of players. I saw where in the last issue of Widescreen Review they used a six channel pre but the thing was $2700. I could...
I am thinking about upgrading the Zenith projector. I will probably have $4500 to spend and I'm really only interested in DLP or LCD. I'm just tired of the CRT route, and the wife no longer wants the big monster hanging from the ceiling. The Infocus 350 dlp sure looks like the way to go. Any...
I made an appointment to get my Zenith projector, calibrated and converged, about 2 weeks ago, with a local company by the name of CST. An hour and half before he's supposed to be here I get a call from his secratary asking if I could do this another day, that he was working on something that he...
Does anyone know of shops that take projector trade-ins. My father has a Runco DTV-852 that has less than a 1000 hours on it but he is now spliting his time between 2 houses and wants to get a DLP projector that he can take back and forth. So he is looking to trade his Runco for a INfocus 350...
I am thinking about trying the DIY speaker kit thing. My budget is a grand a pair, and this has to include the assembled cabinets since my woodworking skills are from an 8th grade shop class 20 years ago. I have looked at ACI, Madisound, and Zalytron. These look like good stuff but I have...
I've got the dyi bug. I would want monitor/bookshelf style to cut down on the cabinet building, since I have a very nice sub already. I have a front projection setup now so I do not want a "tonally matched" center. I want the same speakers all around. Last the budget for for this undertaking...
Does anyone know what tweeter is used in the Def. Tech. BP-10b speaker and where I might get a replacement. I need a new one( long story ).
Thanks in advance.
