    Projector Dilemma (Z1 or Z2?)

    OK, so I had decided to get a projector a while back, and given my limited budget, I chose the Sanyo Z1. Now they have introduced (sort of) the Z2. My dilemma is this: how much are added features worth? I break it down this way: Z2 has increased CR (~1100:1 vs ~700:1) Z2 is higher res...

    Question for Parasound 1205a Owners

    I have a question regarding the dimensions of the 1205a. I know it is an unusually deep peice of gear. I also noticed that it suposedly has 'grab handles' on the back. Does this 19" figure include those grab handles? If so, what is the dimension without those handles? Thanks, RG

    A Neat Experiment (O-scope and RSMeter)

    I'm not sure if anyone has posted up info about this before (didn't do a search), but I thought I would share something I did this weekend. I was taking readings on the bass response in my room with my sub in it's current position. Since I had everything out, I thought I would try an...

    I have a problem with IB sub location...

    Well, after being inspired to strive for an IB, I have encountered a problem... The 'ideal' area (above the TV between the mains) is covered by the A/C unit (completely). I was planning on making a 2-tempest unit like Rich Kraus', but even moving it off to one side or another is pretty much...

    Where to buy bulk cable? I have tried all the normal channels.

    I have been trying to find some place to buy about 100' (I really only need about 50') of Belden 1505a to make a new set of connections. I have called all of the local distributors and none will sell any less than 500'. Markertek does not list 1505a as being for sale in less than 500'...

    Crossover causing distortion? (audax center channel)

    I built the audax HT set some time ago. All of the speakers sound great, with the center having a small problem. It sounds like there is a severe pocket of distortion in a narrow band of the upper vocal range (not suprano upper, normal dialog upper). I tried to duplicate the distortion using...

    Phase adjustment with mic and Oscope?

    I have an oscilloscope. I was wondering if anyone has ever hooked the output of a mic to an oscilloscope (I guess this actually could be done with a windows-based scope for that matter) to get phases or even signal delays set properly in their HT? Does this sound doable? Rick

    Need Help from IB people

    OK, with my recent sub/amp problems I have been considering replacing/upgrading my sub. Somehow, I came across this infinite baffle concept and began reading up on it. The more I read, the more I like it. In particular I like the setup done by Rich Kraus...

    Sub Amp Wiring Question

    I want to wire up a sub so that I may use one of two amps at any given time (see my post on problems with PSWD-112 amp for reasons). The original amp I am currently leaving in the box and would like to leave connected to the driver for troubleshooting purposes. What I want to do is put a...

    Problem with JBL PSWD-112 amp

    I decided to post this here instead of in the speakers area since it is more of a technical nature. I am hoping maybe someone else might have some experience with this and be able to narrow my search a bit. I am a novice at electronics (I can read schematics, know the basics and have the...
