I recently got a new PC with Windows XP Pro and need a new scanner because my ancient Microtek is, of course, no longer supported (it was getting a little long in the tooth any way). Will be scanning mostly photos. Would like to stay around $100, $150 tops. Do any of you have any experience with...

Saw this posted at another forum. Looks like the Shack may have a replacement for the recently discontinued 33-2050 analog SPL meter. See the 33-4050 here. moderators: please move if this is not an appropriate forum for this post

There isn't enough space in my entertainment center to hold all of the monoblock amps that I have in my system. I have been considering placing each amp on a stand near the speaker it powers. This would, of course, necessitate fairly long (around 20-25 ft) interconnects instead of long speaker...

I wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the a/v sources area. Can any of you tell me if the CUE would only manifest itself in progressive mode? If I want a DVD player for a 27" analog TV for a small bedroom system, connected via S-video or interlaced component video, do I need to worry...

I've poked thru the User Control Panel but see nothing that would enable me to turn off the annoying Local Date and Time that shows up under the user's forum name in each and every post. I couldn't care less about the local date and time for each user/post and rather not have it clutter up the...

It has recently come to my attention that the A&E/BBC production of Ivanhoe with Steven Waddington, Susan Lynch, Ciaran Hinds, Victoria Smurfit and Christopher Lee is now available on DVD. This is excellent news as I've longed to replace my old tape of the series. Have any of you picked up this...

I've noticed recently that the font of text between quoted text seems to appear in some strange font. At first I thought the people posting the messages were doing it, but I just tested it myself (see http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...threadid=62033) and it seems that the forum software is...

Was watching my DVD of the BBC production of Wives and Daughters this afternoon. I need your help in identifying a piece of music used in it. The piece was played in Chapter 14 of the second disk when the young Cynthia was dancing with Mr. Preston at the summer festival. The song is vaguely...

I've seen post after post indicating that anyone interested in critical listening in a music system would not use a subwoofer. What I haven't seen is a credible explanation on why this would be so. I'm having trouble understanding why a well designed subwoofer properly placed in the listening...

With the old UBB forum software, the New post icons seemed to remain active for an entire forum viewing session. I could read for hours and still know which threads had new posts since my last visit. With vBulletin, however, it seems that the New posts icons "go out" after only a couple of...

Can any of you recommend a very good recording of Verdi's Rigoletto?

I don't know how I did it but I seem to have trashed the default Windows fonts on my computer. I mean stuff like Times New Roman and Arial. Everything looks different than it used to. The only thing I did that I think could have caused a problem was uninstalling Office 97 (using Add/Remove...

It seems that a lot of ppl either don't know how or don't bother to use the UBB URL tags when they post really long web links. You end up having to scroll back and forth to read threads with these long URLs, even on a large monitor at 1024x768 or better resolution. Does the forum software have...

Yesterday, while in a fit of boredom, I was cruising the web looking for info about active filters. Stumbled upon a couple of programs for designing filters from two chip manufacturers: Burr-Brown (now part of TI) Filter Pro is a DOS program for designing filters based on the UAF42 universal...
