The time has come where I am downsizing (considerably) my setup and I’m looking to sell off a few pieces:Toshiba HD-A2 HD-DVD player. SOLD Outlaw 990 Preamp/Processor. About 3 years old, works great, never had a problem with it. All accessories, manual, remote(s) included. Original owner...

Background story: I've devised a bit of a 3 tier upgrade plan to help my parents upgrade their a/v setup. Their TV is pretty decent but most of the audio stuff is a little outdated (H/K AVR70 receiver, pretty mediocre speakers). So over the next 3 holidays I laid it out. 1. This year -...

I am looking at hooking my "HD monitor" sony XBR (KV-36XBR450) to my PC. It looks like an adapter like this this would do the trick, right? -Pete

I am picking up a (used) Sony XBR (KV-36XBR450) and I should probably get a new DVD player. My old Sony DVP-S560D is a good player but doesn't have progressive scan or any of the newer features. I am looking for a player that can upconvert through component, as the TV has no HDMI (obviously...

This is more of a "affirm my assumption" than a question but here it goes. I have my PC conected to my pre/pro via a toslink cable. The PC I built myself, and I will admit I am a bit more knowledgeable about PC's than HT stuff. The digital output seems to work ok for the most part, all 2...

I have been looking at getting a few sound absorbtion blankets for my (cinder block) walls. I noticed that they look remarkably similar to the "quilted pads" that U-haul sells for moving. Anyone have any experience with either or both? Anyone heard of using moving blankets for this purpose...

Well, with both feet finally in the grave, I have to replace the Nakamichi AV-8 I was using as a Pre/Pro needs to be replaced. I am looking at spending $1500 max. I have no problem with buying used as long as it is a high quality item. Having said that, I would be more inclined to spend say...

I know this is a little bit of a rehash of stuff that has been in a few other threads recently but I am rewiring my HT tomorrow and I am trying to make sure I am using the best cables that I have. Coaxial video cables are 75ohms as are digital coax. But Audio cables can vary in their...

I am moving my (simple) HT to another room and I am somewhat worried about the speaker placement of my front speakers. The wall in question is 12.5ft wide. On the wall I have to fit: Desk: ~ 4ft wide 2 Floor standing speakers: 10in wide TV stand: 33in wide Sub: 12in wide I have thought of...

I like to think I know what I am doing when it comes to this stuff, but I figure someone knows more and could answer some questions for me. In a few days I am going to upgrade the DSS in my parent's house for them. Currently they have a single LNB single room system that is about 4-5 years...

About 3 months ago, I started thinking over getting a Laser Disc player. I figured there was a large and somewhat inexpensive library out there, and the players could be had on e-bay for somewhat cheap. I didn't really know what to look for in a player and ended up bidding on a Pioneer CLD-S201...
