Hi Mike, For Paradigms and Energy, check out "The Sound Room". You may as well listen to Dynaudio while you over here at "Music For Pleasure". Stop on over at "Best Sound" for B&W. Im your guy for Klipsch, Kef, DefTech and Infinity. I got your RF35s IN STOCK. I am the UE connection. email me...
OK, 1 more time. If an item sells for $1.00 and it costs $0.50, that is 50% margin. It is not a 100% profit. If any of these stores could make even a 5% profit on gross sales, share holders would rejoice!
Well Mike, you kinda got it. If the speakers cost $1000 and they're tagged at $2000, thats a 50% margin. Fairly standard in the industry. IMO, Thats the dumbest marketing I have ever seen. Lets go ahead and let the buying public know we are making $500 in margin on you after the 25% off sale...
A stepped attenuator will surely sound better than a software volume control. Digital attenuation is pretty far down the food chain. A pre amp or integrated with an alps pot or latter attenuator is what I'd be looking for. My vote is for the integrated. Whats your budget? What other...
Your dvd player will decode DD and output 2.0 with analog interconnects or you could select the DD 2.0 track from the DVD. You can get a sub hooked up in their. Use line level preout to the sub (powered with crossover built-in) and get those highpass filters from the link I posted above. I...
A good stereo preamp for $100 is next to impossible. And with a sub-out, forget about it. I only know of one 2 channel preamp with an internal analog crossover and it's the B&K. You should buy a powered sub with a built in low-pass crossover, maybe a used older Adcom pre-amp and use a passive...
Display devices are sometimes tough to figure out. I believe the Sonys display 480p and 1080i native. My Hitachi 57" swx20b only does 540p or 1080i so everything it's sent (unless its a HD feed @ 1080i) is upconverted. Your Sony could be displaying 480p on all 480 sources (progressive or...
The 434 is NOT true progressive scan player. It's more like a line doubler. It doesn't have a film mode to do the 3/2 pulldown and doesn't even use any motion adaptive deinterlacing. Im assuming that if you cant see any differences between the 434 and a decent player, your TV is doing the...
The Video 1 input spots on her TV include DVI, Component, S-Video and composite. There is also a component on video 2 and s-vid on Video 3-5. I was going to run the DVI straight out of the cable box into the DVI slot on the TV labeled "Video 1" The DVD player and the X-Box will both be...
A lot of modern fax machines (hardware and software) have answering machines built in. When the machine picks up it will play your recorded greeting and if it hears a fax tone automatically switch to receive your document. E-fax is another option...
I am hooking up an HK 230 AV receiver for a co-worker. She has a DVD player, X-box, Hi-Def Cable and a PC. The TV is a Hitachi 51SWX20b. Here is my proposed configuration. DVD = Component + Digital Coax X-Box = Component + Digital Optical PC = s-video + Digital Coax Cable box = dvi +...
