    AM antenna out of RG-6 quad-shield coax?

    Sorry to pile on here but I have a related question I have meant to ask for some time. I have a Halo T3 tuner in my media room (basement) that I get crappy reception for. I also have an Winegard rooftop antenna for my hdtv reception. Can I split this cable and run one to the T3 for FM radio...

    I am very impressed and wish I knew of this option last year when we finished our media room. I will keep it in mind for future customer builds. Take care, Elmer

    Looking for funny picture.....

    I am on the lookout for a funny picture showing a really lame home theater setup. The picture will be used on my website to show 'going from this to this'. The second picture will be a well down theater. I seem to recall someone that had a boombox hooked up to some other components poking...

    Rope lighting 'within' moulding?

    I looked into Seagull and other cove lighting and nearly fell out of my chair when I receieved the quotes for the parts alone. For a rectangle about 12'x20' I was quoted from several different sources over $3000. Didn't seem worth it for my application. If someone finds a more realistically...

    Ultimate Toy Box worth it?

    PaulP, I am trying to determine if the video or sound quality is any better on the UTB..... That is the only reason I am asking if the UTB is worth the price... It appears not for me. Thanks for everyone's input. Elmer

    Ultimate Toy Box worth it?

    I am only into the movies and sound formats and not the extras. Is it worth the premium to purchase the Toy Story Ultimate Toy Box set for $50? Or, am I better served buying Toy Story 1 and 2 separately? Since the UTB is going OOP do you think this means there will be another version out...

    If you were a new dealer......

    Thanks for the heads-up on The Sound Forum... I know of one other that I have been to that I was VERY impressed with also... Sound and Vision in Orland Park. Both of these places are not exactly easy to get to. I still think there is a market for 'closer' in to Chicago. Orland Park and LITH are...

    If you were a new dealer......

    Rob, Well experience only comes with time and EVERY high boutique started somewhere at some point in time.. I have also considered getting a relationship with a large dealer in the area that would allow me to work with them to purchase gear on a project basis so I wouldn't have to stock...

    Rob Rodier, Are you speaking from direct experience in the eletronics industry? Or more along the lines of leaving corp America for the unkown? Thanks. Elmer

    If you were a new dealer......

    Chu Gai, "sorry, but i couldn't help thinking of the interesting juxtaposition between not trusting corporate america and then becoming a purveyor of audio products where people don't trust you" It is pretty funny... different kind of trust from my perspective though... they, corp America...

    If you were a new dealer......

    Thanks for all the constructive feedback. If I thought there was already an existing store/company in the area that provided AAA customer service and good product at a good price I would not be wasting my time on this idea. Does anyone have a truly outstanding A/V store near them that they...

    If you were a new dealer......

    What product lines would you carry? What would make you different than the 'guys' down the street? Would you open up in a retail zone (strip mall) or more like a tech center (single story building with cheaper rent and less traffic)? What services would you offer? What policies have you...
