Hi, It's me again. I saw my friend's new house's blueprint the other day. I think calling in a professional to design the room would be too late, as the design is already drawn out and the workers have started building it already. I think he would need to focus on room treatment and...

Hi, I have a Pannasonic RP91 which is capable of playing MP3 encoded CD-R's. I would like to know if the compression artifacts in MP3 format are noticeable compared to regular CD's. If so, how bad is it? I also thought about converting the MP3's back to PCM and burn the songs onto a CD-R or...

Maybe you should try using a ground cheater plug. I used it to cure my subwoofer hum problem. Geoff

I have a Denon AVR-2802 and I did a little comparison with some regular stereo CD's to see how DTS Neo:6 and DPLII compare. I used Celine Dion, Blue Man Group, Alicia Keys(R&B), Yanni(classical/new age), Crystal Method(techno), Dave Mathews Band, and a classical music compilation for the...

Jaime, With the prices you're paying, you could do better than those Monster cables. Check out BetterCables.com or CatCables.com for DVD to TV component cables, CatCables also has a very good subwoofer cable. For interconnects, I think you should go with digital coaxial cables, again, the...

Hi, I am new to HT and I am planning on putting together my first HT myself. I have bought all the components except the speaker wires. The main reason is that I want to buy good quality speaker wires from a certain internet store, they sell raw cables, but I don't know how to assemble them to...

I just ordered the RP91 to go with my 57h81. It's good to hear someone with a similar setup to report good results. Did you calibrate your TV using AVIA? What speakers do you have? Geoff

Hi everyone, I am thinking of putting together a 5.1 speaker setup for my new house. I don't have a lot of money to spend and the room is not very large so I am mainly looking at small speakers. I think I am going to get either the Hsu Research VTF-2 or SVS 20-39PC for the sub. After some...

I demoed some of the 5.1 system speakers, like the Energy Encore, Enrgy Take 5.2, PSB Alpha Intro series, Boston VR-M, and the Jamo Essential. But I would like to also demo the NHT Super series and the Ascend Acoustics CBM 170. I also demoed all the subwoofers included in the systems mentioned...
