    Any suggestions for separates?

    I've had an Outlaw 950 mated to an Outlaw 750, using JBL Studio speakers, for a few years now. It's great and we've loved it, but the 950 has a few niggling issues that we'd like to correct (the most major of which is a 2-3 sec "dropout" every time it switches inputs. Unfortunately our D*TV box...

    FS: Behringer Feedback Destroyer Pro DSP1124P

    Behringer Feedback Destroyer Pro DSP1124P. Has a light scratch on the top of the unit (not very noticable.) I also have some cables and a set of MIDI cables that hook up to your computer (for programming the BFD) that I've never used. I bought this BFD last year and have never used it in my...

    What sorts of milage do motorcycles get?

    Just wondering, I think they would be super efficient. I've been looking at some cycles for fun, but they never seem to list the EPA MPG numbers like cars do. For example, what sort of milage would a 750cc bike get? And how far does that typically take you (how big are the gas tanks?) Sorry...

    FS: WT-46809 in Denver

    We have upgraded our system and unfortunately do not have any more room for our old RPTV. This is a Mitsubishi WT-46809 with a transferrable warranty good through Feb '07. It was in the shop last Xmas for a convergence repair, but is back now and good as new. No marks, blemishes, or problems...

    Cars that get good MPG and still zing

    I've been looking at new cars, but with gas prices looking to keep moving up I need to keep the MPG decent (I commute about 50 miles a day total through suburban/rural area.) I want to find fairly efficient cars that are well built but still have some zing. If something was just outstanding, I...

    Racks and Stands?

    Where are good places to look at different racks and stands? Are there any 'money' racks or audio stands that deliver a quality product at reasonable prices? I found this website: www.racksandstands.com But are there any other must visit places to look at different options? So far I...

    Help with projector and screen (DIY?) choices

    First off, yes I am a total n00b to front projection. I have owned (and excessively tweaked) a Mitsubishi HD RPTV for about 4 years, but it's a different game from front projectors. Our RPTV is starting to break down, and in looking at new models it seems the best bang for the buck is now firmly...

    RPTV Troubleshooting Help

    Our HDTV (a Mitsubishi RPTV) is having troubles. When you turn it on, the power light will turn on for a couple of seconds, then just turn itself off. No sound of the guns firing up or anything else. Just a click when that power LED is lit, a pause, then it turns back off. I unplugged the set...

    Low end receiver challenge

    Hi all, I need to find a low end receiver for my father-in-law's setup as an Xmas gift. The price would be constrained to around $200-250. He will be powering a Rocket Tykes 5.1 system with this receiver so power isn't a major concern. What he needs is a receiver that can handle DD/DTS...

    WTB: Rocket Tykes 5.1 system

    If you have a set, please let me know! Similar HTiB sets would be considered, but tykes seem to fit the bill perfectly.

    Gas Furnace Maintenance?

    I think we need to get our gas furnace (central heating) looked at/cleaned, can anyone give me any tips on what needs to be done and doesn't need to be done? We've been in this house for 4 years and I haven't had it cleaned yet (changed the filters regularly, but didn't know the rest needed...

    Painting a House, Advice?

    So this summer our house is likely to need a new coat of paint. It makes sense too as many of the windows are 13 yrs old and taking condensation damage, so we'll be replacing those anyway. Any advice from members on making this job easier/faster? I've painted decks, rooms, whatever before...

    FS: SVS 20-39 PC+ Subwoofer

    Great sub, truly in a class by itself. Only reason I am selling it is that a found a great deal on a bigger SVS sub and couldn't resist. No need for two massive subs (according to the wife :D), so I wanted to offer this to the good folks here first. You can peel any info you need on this...

    Q about SVS PB2+ and setup

    I recently picked up an SVS PB2+ locally for a great price and hooked it up last night. I previously had a 20-39 PC+ setup in the corner, now the PB2+ is in the same place. This new PB2+ definitely has plenty of power and is LOUD, but so far I haven't really felt the "wall" of LFE that I've...

    Online banks?

    Anyone use a good one? I might be in the market for a nice online bank as our beloved CU might give us the boot (we no longer live in the area it supports.) We need to find one that has a no fee checking (preferrably with good interest), no fees, and free/easy online bill pay. Our CU provides...

    Help with satelitte cabling

    A few months ago we moved from Dish to DirecTivo. So the installer used one line that was pre-existing and added a second line from the roof for the DirecTivo box. The problem is we moved the satelitte box to far side of TV and the new cable from wall has to sort of "drape" across the wall to...

    What's a good movie database site?

    A place online with easy searching and cross-referencing of actors/directors/whatever? Reviews would be good as well, but an accesable and quick to use interface would be more important. I'm sure there are tons of these online, what's the best ones?

    FS: Sony WA-M40 Subwoofer

    I have a lightly used Sony WA-M40 subwoofer for sale. This sub was only lightly used in my HT for about 6 months, then has sat in storage room downstairs since I bought an SVS last year. Sub has had polyfill mod performed by me, it was the second I had done so is a good job. Sounds fantastic and...

    Wireless xbox/router question

    Quick question, I'm sure there is a simple answer. I have a wireless 802.11b router that I use to share cable modem and as print server. Since the xbox is in another part of the house next to TV, I have a wireless dongle (extender?) to get it on the network. This works great for now, but soon I...

    Sapphire Radeon 9600xt

    I have a barely used Sapphire Radeon 9600xt 128 MB video card for sale. Had this card about 2 months, works perfectly and never had a single problem with it. I am selling it because the machine is to be an HTPC and I put a fanless 9600 AIW card in there. Also I will throw in Battlefield 1942...

    Rockets vs. Axiom (value speakers)

    I currently have JBL S36s in my 5.1 setup, and a JBL S Center II. Since these tend to go for a good amount of money since being discontinued, was thinking about selling and upgrading to either an Axiom 5.1 setup or Rockets ELT setup. Two questions: Would I notice much of a difference from the...

    Anyone with PB2+ in Denver?

    Hi all, Wondering if there is anyone with a PB2+ in the Denver/Boulder area that would let me and the wife have a quick listen before we decide to buy one? $1300 is a lot to put down for a component we have never heard and the missus is understandably skeptical. We live in Westminster, but...

    Help me choose an SVS

    Hey folks, just got approval from the S.O. to upgrade to an SVS from our dual Sony SW-40s. What I'm wondering is how much bass do you really hear (or feel?) in the different SV Subs? I'm mostly looking at the newer PB1+ because it has a nice wood finish, or a PB2+ for raw power. What qualitative...
