    Wilson Pickett dead of heart attack at 64

    RIP Wilson. Even when he appeared in Blues Bros. 2000,the man could still sing his a-- off. One of the best ever for that kind of music,no doubt. Best Regards, Pete

    Most HDTV owners clueless?

    Just came from a friend`s house to see his new Magnavox 42MF130A "HD" set that he got at CC for XMAS. Was suspicious right away because the price was way too low. Don`t have the heart to tell him even though it has a HD tuner,it`s an ED set. He should have got the Panny ED. Best Regards----Pete

    I need help with poor FM reception

    Hi Brad. The antennas mentioned in the first two replies are the way to go. As far as I know, they are pretty much the same. I have the Fanfare FM2G. Getting the antenna outside makes a HUGE difference. These antennas hook up with cable "F" connectors (screw-on-75 ohm ). I am guessing your Onkyo...

    NHT --SB1 +SB2 Bookshelfs

    Thanks for the responses. Those SB3 look really nice. I`m using two Super Ones in my 2-channel rig ,and Super Zeros for my modest HT setup. Using the same sub for both. My son needs a decent set of speakers,so I think I`ll get him a pair of SB2 for Xmas. Just wanted to make sure that no radical...

    Good 200+ CD changer under $300, and getting CD's out of dead player.

    If you are willing to buy used,there`s a Sony CX90ES at Ebay. Let me assure you,this is the changer to get. Many say it`s the best "Megachanger" ever made by ANY company. This player sounds fantastic. Original MSRP was $1100. Take a look if nothing else. Good Luck--------Pete P.S I`m not the...

    Anyone using Outlaw Audio 990/7125 combo?

    If you can spend that much,definitely go with separates. You could also go wuth a good used power amp,and save some bucks that way. There are nice used ones for sale all the time here-ebay-audiogon-etc. Good Luck-Pete

    cliping??

    Hello R.o.b. Everyone is on the right track here with their replies. It is the amplifier that "clips", whether it is the amplifier(s) in a receiver, car system ,or separates. Any given amp, no matter how powerful it is, can only do so much before it clips (distorts). On a mass market...

    mega CD changers?

    Don`t know what your budget is, but check out the Sony 555ES 400 disc at Oade Bros. Their prices are great on ES stuff. I don`t think it has digital coax out,but I think you may be too worried about that. The D/A converter in this unit is at least as good,and maybe better than what`s in most...

    Hi All. I have a Panny RP82 hooked to my 32" Sony Wega (KV32FS100) via S-Video. Will I get much of an improvement going to the component hookup? (My old set didn`t nave component inputs,so I never tried it) Thanks, Pete

    Is "Monster" speaker wire worth the extra $$$??

    Hey Brett--- I was thinking the same thing---A chemical reaction between the wire and insulation. Who knows, The Monster XP I used to replace the corroded wire may even turn green quicker!!
