    Speakers positive and negative

    Upon further inspection the thinner spade wire had a faint black stripe through it and I went with the original replacement EMIT-R tweeters which made it a moot point. For future reference if there is a thin and a wide set of terminals the thin ones should be the negative ones. Thanks for...

    Flashing Red LED power indicator on ATI 2505

    It turns out the red indicator light is not LED, it's neon. Older ATI's like mine had neon and later changed to LED. The flickering is symptomatic of a neon light dying. ATI will send me an LED switch to rectify the problem.

    Speakers positive and negative

    The tweeters are "blown" and Infinity no longer has the replacements. How about the polarity as to which tab on the tweeter would accept the narrower spade/lug?

    Speakers positive and negative

    I'm replacing two EMIT-R Infinity tweeters (discontinued from Infinity) with two reference Parts Express tweeters. These are in two Infinity Cresscendo series towers. The size of the wires going to the tweeters have two different size spades as do the tabs on the old tweeters. One is much...

    Flashing Red LED power indicator on ATI 2505

    Recently, my ATI 2505 power amp, the red (powered up/on) LED started blinking on the power switch. No particular pattern, just erratically. It has always remained solid for many years. Please offer any suggestions as why this has started happening. The amplifier appears to be fully...

    Recommend receiver for use with power amps

    I need opinions about a situation. I rendered two Sony TA-9000ES's and a Sony EP9ES non-workable; they're way out of warranty. Should I look at the cost of repairing one of them or get a new receiver? ...and which one. I want to power an ATI 2505, two Cinepros and an Adcom amplifier. So, I'm...

    The Concert For Bangladesh - An HTF Member Review

    Fantastic event and performance (including Shankar and company) brought to DVD! Great Phil Spector sound recording; the Bangladesh title soundtrack always sounded studio ...now I know why. Any imperfection in video is readily forgivable given the age of the film and for the sheer magnitude of...

    What DVDS actually have "multi-angles"?

    King Crimson's Deja Vrooom DVD has a couple tracks with multiple angles, highlighting each member of the band visually as well as a separate soundtrack for each that redirects that particular musician out of the center channel. Very impressive use of the multiple angle and multiple audio in one...

    Rock And Roll Circus - Officially Coming To Dvd!!!

    I bought a VHS copy when it came out and no longer have a VCR to play it on. I remember being somewhat let down with the release on VHS. I remember that at the time of the performance, maybe in rehearsal, there existed a performance of the song "Yer Blues" with Eric Clapton (guitar), John Lennon...

    Why you might want to consider removing those black security tabs from your DVDs

    I've had one DVD that arrived in the mail where the black anti-theft strip had become detached and re-attached to the label side ...fortunately it hadn't been re-attached for very long and was easily removed and left no damage. I've always removed those that I could and only recently have I...

    DVD Review HTF Review: The Great Escape - Special Edition (Highly Recommended!)

    Thanks for the nice review. As usual, given the age of the film we can only really hope to get back to as pristine an original print as is possible ...it sounds like they came as close as they possibly could! Too bad they don't feel that way about original art work.
