Is it me or is this DVD so freakin hard to jump around. There are listed tons of test patterns and things but where are they? They should've put an index of test patterns and tones somewhere so they would be easy to get to. IKE: As far as the HDTV input...you would need to re-calibrate using...

I know for the gen2 iPod's there's a company that sells replacement batteries that even includes a tool that is used to pop the back off without scratching the nice mirror finish. Hopefully once the gen3's get longer in the tooth they will supply such a product. I forgot the name of the...

As a 30GB iPod owner I can attest that this is the most well thought out MP3 player out today. I currently have 5500+ songs on it now and I still have about 500mb free. Ephpod is definately the way to go until they release an iTunes version for windows. The only complaint I have is that I have...

Bravo D1 at www.vinc.us There are tons of links here and AVS.

I bought the radio shack one....works like a charm. -sonny

If you put all the speakers at +10 you are just raising the volume on all the speakers. What you need to do is properly calibrate your speakers and distances using an SPL meter and tape measure (if your receiver allows distances). This will enable a constant db level at the listening position...

You can get rca -> 1/4" adapters at radio shack. I bought the rca->1/4 bettercables off of the SVS website instead. Either way this will enable you to connect to the BFD. If you have balanced XLR in/out's then I would use that from your Pre/Pro -> BFD -> AMP. Just make sure that you push in/out...

I meant flat at about +20db between those two frequencies. Yes, I used a RS SPL. I have a bad dip at 80hz and a peak at 160hz.... Do some reading on house curves. You start out in the lower freq high and gradually slope down. This will give you a relatively flat response without losing the...

Make sure you set up your EQ for a house curve. In my post I said the first attemp failed. That is why...I flattened it out pretty good and it sounded horrible. My room actually amplifies everything from 25hz - 80hz pretty flat. But it boosts it to 20+db higher than my reference tones. So I need...

The 1ms equals an extra foot to the distance to your subwoofer. You should be able to put in distances for your speaker. I own a BFD as well. It has 12 diff paramentric eq's vs. the 5 in the Nady. In my first attempt (which was a failure) I used 6 EQ's. So if you forsee a need for more than 5...

If you are coming from Newark, since you said that in your post, you can take the PATH to NYC. Depending what stores you go to it'll get you in the right vicinity, but it'll be in walking distance. Best thing to do is get a PATH (Port Authority Trans Hudson) and go to www.mta.info and plan...

It is accessing the forums over port 8080.

I have the Sherborn 7/2100. This combo sounds amazing...the clarity and breath of this prepro/amp combo will blow you away. "Don't let the price fool you", my dealer said. I am know a believer. 200+ watt mono-block construction in a single chassis. 2 power cords for all the juice you can feed...

The Marantz players are indeed "based" off of the pioneer 47a OEM universal set. That is where the similarities stop. Marantz put a ton of research into beefing up the audio portion into this player. This is not a rebadged Pio in Marantz clothing. I would go as far to say that my Marantz can...

I think if you consider the tweaked audio side of the 8400 which will probably be more comparable to the upcoming Denon 5900, then the Marantz is no longer overpriced. Also, the Onkyo player and Integra player are exactly the same internally. The Integra, I believe only has a few more...

I'll second the WBT bullets. The only thing is that you need to buy that super special crimper. I also dig the sleeves you put over the wire that you crimp down before putting the banana's on...that's a solid connection!!! -sonny

I have the Marantz DV8400 which is a very good audio player. I do not plan on using this player for video, but the audio section is super upgraded and it sounds very nice in both SACD/DVD-A. BM is another issue, I don't think the perfect player exists, but they are getting closer year by year...

I went with the Marantz DV8400 for DVDA/SACD and going with the Bravo D1 for DVI->DLP. I heard the Marantz video is still very good but is rumored to have (I'm not sure if its confirmed) CUE. I also heard that the 3900 will be more on par with the 8400's audio section. As far as BM, there's a...

The Yamaha 2300 is the only player without the chroma bug since the DVD player is essentially an Panny RP-82. Most players Including the Integra and Marantz are the based on the Pioneer 47A therefore share in the same faults. Audio wise, the Marantz is suppoed to sound the best with its upgraded...

I believe the only difference is the updated firmware to allow you to burn faster. Gabriel_Lam posted the site in his post above... -sonny

check out www.auralex.com, they have a nice isolation pad for monitors called the MoPads for like $30. You can get them with free shipping at musician's friend. I was going to pick up a pair for my bookshelf but they only come in grey and the wife DK'd it. -sonny

I have a pair of Diva 2.1's on a bookshelf. I had them in the bookshelf but then I pulled them out so that the tweeter is extended from the front of the shelf. I did a blind test with my wife and she noticed the difference right away. It only sticks out about 3" and you can't even tell they're...

I just ordered a Sony AV-3000? remote. I got it pretty quickly and it is brand new. It was a little suspect that this remote is $199 and I got it for $100. But this time it came through no problems...I would get a big ticket item from an authorized dealer.

What mpeg decoder is in this bad boy? Is it just a souped up Pio 47A? -sonny
