    Allright. One more tv asking advice post. 36xbr800, 40xbr800 or Tosh 36hf72?

    I like the Toshiba picture better, I have the 36HFX72, the slightly modified version of the HF you are talking about. I spent hours comparing the two side by side (well, actually it was over/under) and thought that the Toshiba had a better picture, regardless of the price. There wasn't a...

    Are the Onecall.com specials really as good as they claim?

    I've only had good experiences with onecall and their bricks and mortar store, Huppins. In the past year I have spent more than $5000 there on HDTV, receiver, DVD, speakers, etc. My wife has spent about $3000 on cameras, lights, etc. Always great service and great deals. I bought their...

    Best Direct View TV?

    Toshiba 36HFX72, 232 pounds, (I know, mine went up two flights of stairs, the second only about 36 inches wide and very steep). I like the picture better than the XBR's, the price is better and the customer service is far better. (I got mine in exchange for a 36HFX71 when Toshiba couldn't...

    ISF calibration in Washington State?

    I am considering having ISF calibration of my Toshiba 36HFX72 and wonder two things. A) Does a tube TV need burn in before calibration as RPTV's do? B) Does anyone know of a tech in Eastern Washington, (I live in Moses Lake) who does good work? Bill

    Component video input

    Cordoba, Argentina 1981-83, So I'm an old man compared to you:wink: Let me know how this gets resolved. I wouldn't mess with it much, I'd check a display model, sounds like this is a fairly common Mitsu problem and I wouldn't back down. Mitsu probably will be happy yo make it better. If...

    Component video input

    Ammon, This is definitely a service issue, and I suspect a component input problem, since that is the only input where the colors are seperated. If the S-video looks normal then it has to be an input problem. If you have switched component cables,(the entire set of cables could be bad)...

    Have I selected the right cables?

    Haris, Tell me what prices you are considering as reasonable, and I might be willing to make you a deal on my monster cables. I am upgrading to Belden/Canare handmade cables soon and would be willing to part with my monster cables for VERY good prices. Most of my Monsters are low-mid...

    Have I selected the right cables?

    Haris, I would go to bettercables.com and consider their stuff before I would use monster cable. I have lots of Monster Cable, decent stuff, but overpriced. I wish I had found bettercables before I began with Monster. Bill

    Toshiba Customer Service

    If you read my previous thread on my 36HFX71, you probably remember I had problems with the picture " flickering, where it shrinks/jiggles". After attempts to find a nearby repairman, (I live 100 miles from Spokane, WA) Toshiba Customer Service called and said that I would be contacted by a...

    Alan, I understand the concern, I'm an I.M. PA-C in Washington State and we are down to basically one malpractice provider in the state. They took a major hit last year, (didn't they all?). Fortunately they had more than sufficient reserves for one year and though our renewal had only a...

    Alan and Josh, Congrats on the new SVS's, I'm very interested in how you think it sounds in comparison to the tubes. BTW, Alan, what kind of MD? Bill

    Line Array sub...

    Why couldn't you put one or 2 10-12" drivers facing either forward or back on a seperate full length strut inside the box, so that there is free space in front of the driver, and then vent out the ends? If you isolate the front and back sections and vent each to the sides you should get away...

    Have you measured just how high in the freq band you have the ability to hear?

    The "in home Radio Shack sound meter test" is just a very rough approximation of hearing, but it is better than nothing. We become less sensitive to higher frequencies as we age (in general). However, we are generally less sensitive to very low frequencies than we are to those in the vocal...

    Have you measured just how high in the freq band you have the ability to hear?

    This got way to long skip it if you like! Ok, here's the medical point of view. I see patients all the time with hearing loss and tinnitus, I send them for hearing exams and get a neat little sheet with a graph of their exam for each ear. Unless I have specifically requested it, they never...

    DIY RCA Cables using Cat 5E ?

    The easy answer is yes, I think Jon Risch's web site talks about it. The question is how good a cable it would make and that is dependant on the quality of termination and the cable itself.

    Best Head Phones for DVD/Music/GAMING(xbox/gamecube/PC)

    Grado Sr-60's or Sennheisers similarly priced models. Sennheiser makes a cordless that sound great for cordless in that price range also. I love my Grado 325's, but they are a lot more money. Grado's tend to like more power, so a headphone amp helps also. Go to headphone.com...
