    In the Blues Brothers they bleeped "farkakte" when they're in the steam room with Mr. Sline (sp?) he says "You guys are still wearing the same farkakte suits." And during Blazing Saddles they bleeped "Shtupp" as in Lily von Shtupp. :rolleyes My wife and I both thought this was about the most...

    Can I use cat 5 wire for a second zone?

    I want to use the 2nd zone on my AVM20 pre/pro to send music to a receiver in my garage. Is cat 5 wire okay or is there something else I should use? It just for garage music so it doesn't need to be a super duty hi-fi type deal. Thanks, Bruce

    CLD-604 LD player DTS out stopped working?

    I sold my old Pioneer CLD-604 LD player to a friend a while ago after I picked up a CLD-99. He recently called me and said that he couldn't get any DTS output anymore. He's using the optical output into his receiver. We know the optical cable and input are good because he switched it with the...

    Which RGB to Component transcoder and where to buy it?

    I have a Pioneer PRO-710HD HDTV and an RCA DTC-100. I've had both for quite a while and while I had the 710 ISFd early last year I don't think the tech properly calibrated the HD input. I'd like to try a transcoder to run the HD input into a component video connection to see the difference...

    Question about Paradigm Studio 100 v.2 feet

    I just got a pair of used Studio 100s and I'm not sure how the gold feet are installed. They came with four feet and four threaded spikes. I don't want to spike them so do I install the threaded spikes with the point in and then screw the gold feet onto the threaded rod? Any pointers (HA!)...

    My "review" of the $199 AV-HTB Fluance 5 speaker set

    First let me start by saying that this is my first review. Every thing I say is purely subjective and is my personal opinion. There are no measurements or specs. http://www.angelfire.com/va2/tronix/ht1.html ------------------ "Why do I sense we've picked up another pathetic lifeform?"

    A closer look at the $199 Fluance speakers

    I took some pics of the Fluance speakers when I received them. I'm still waiting on the receiver so I can't really give a full review yet. I've hooked the two main speakers directly to the speaker out terminals on my Mitsubishi 35" TV. So far they sound pretty good. Nice and clear with a...

    Receiver with DPL II and S-video switching for under $250?

    So far the only thing I can find is the Kenwood VR-507. Abe's Music shows it in stock for $229. Any other suggestions or recommended vendors? Now that it's October, are all the new models out? I'm planning to pair this receiver with a set of the $199 Fluance speakers just to see what can be...
