    Need more component video inputs!!!

    I'm in the same situation as you, not enough component inputs on my tv or receiver. I'm going with the Marantz SR-8500. The new Marantz SR-7500 has 4 component inputs. The SR-8500 has 4 component plus 2 DVI inputs.

    Outdoor electrical help

    Sounds like a bad breaker. Breakers aren't designed to be used on a regular basis as a switch, so it may be worn out. Try replacing it with a new one.

    Looking to upgrade my old Denom 1800. What should I get? (MERGED THREAD)

    If you go with B&W or Paradigm you should get a receiver with more power than the Denom 1800. A higher end Denom like a 2803 or even a Marants 4400 would be great. I personally know that the flagship Kemwoods (sovereigm line) work very well with Paradigm, especially the Studio 40's and 60s. A...

    TV Corner Discoloration

    Maybe it just needed to degauss itself? I had a similar problem but just turning the TV off and back on a couple of times cleared it up.

    Kenwood Sovereign 5900?

    I own the Kenwood (Sovereign) 4700 and like it very much. The features and price pretty much sold me when i was researching a new unit, and when I auditioned it against Denon and Marantz, the Kenwood made my smile. Great receiver, built like a tank (and weighs about the same). The D/A converters...

    What do those little silica packets do?

    Silica gel was developed just prior to WWI and was used in Allied gas masks; then, in WWII it was used extensively to keep penicillin dry. It remains the highest capacity adsorbent available today. Not a "gel" as commonly thought of, and not to be confused with "silicon gel", silica gel is a...

    Cell Phones in general

    Chad, I think it was around $150 when i got it, but that was on an upgrade plan a year ago. They're much cheaper now especially with new contracts - around $50. I'm not sure if they can hook the 8390 up on pay-as-you-go, but if they can the phone can be bought outright for around $250.00. (i...

    Cell Phones in general

    Hi Chad, IMO, a GSM phone is the only way to go. I had digital PCS for my previous 2 phones and the GSM was a big step up. People on the other end of my phone conversations think i'm on a regular land line because it is so clear. I'm in Regina too BTW. I have a Nokia 8390, its the best...

    Kenwood receiver and subwoofer crossover

    I have a Kenwood VR4700 with the sub re-mix option. From what i understand, this option allows you to send low frequencies (below 80hz) both to the subwoofer AND the main speakers when they are set to LARGE. Comes in handy when you have near-full range mains and a good sub. ie: Paradigm...

    If reference level is 85 db (?) then I am not even using a watt of power

    I think the whole 'instantly deaf' thing is a bit dramatic. The frequency of the sound has alot to do with it.. for example, SPL competitions for car stereos frequently exceed 160db!! I'm sure that's a note under 100hz though. http://www.soundoff.org/00finspl.htm

    CAT 5 cable for speakers....

    Get what you pay for, sure... The properties alone of CAT5e high speed cable make it an excellent alternative to lamp cord. Highly pure copper, Teflon dielectric.. minimal skin effect. What's lampcord? Stranded tin in plastic? I guess the only way to find out is to replace my computer...

    CAT 5 cable for speakers....

    I built my cat5 speaker cables about 6 months ago and really enjoy them. Before these i had a pair of monster cable MCX-IS biwire, they were around 200 bux for the set. After building the cat5 did alot of AB testing (not blind mind you but i was skeptical of the cat5 in the first place) and...
