I recently moved my gun safe to a temporary house(building a new one). The temp house is my great grandmothers place, and well...its kinda run down. So I have lots of latitude to piddle with the interior. In moving the rifles I purchased 4 pieces of 1" thick eggshell foam to layer them in the...

I have a Samsung 507 DLP and a Pioneer DV-45 player. All my movies look wonderful, that is until I popped in Silence and what I saw almost made me sick. Sharp edged lines wiggle, the main FBI guy's glasses bounce around his face when its a closeup. I tried switching aspects, toggling between...

Not like overdriving them, but simply wear em out? I pop in a CD when I walk thru the door after work, and usually have one playing till I go to bed. Ambient levels, sometimes enough to feel the tight mid/bass in yer limbs. I know surrounds and such age and need to be replaced due to time...

I just called all the local audio/video places around here and apparently a DVI cable is a rare beast, at least one long enough for my needs. I need a 5 meter or so. I got the new T2 "Extreme" dvd, and wanna play with the high-def outputs. My vid card is fully capable, and my sound card has...

I have the stereo amp powering the woofers and the receiver doing the mids/tweets. I've run the preouts from the receiver to the stereo amp(variable inputs), I've played with the levels some, but can't nail it down where I like it. Is there a SUREFIRE way to calibrate this kinda setup? I tried...

Quickly for the reason that the auction is over in ~5 hours. I've found 2 Denon POA-6600 monoblocks for a decent price, and just wanted a bit of feedback on these amps. I'll be driving 4 monitors with em, I think the speakers are rated at...wait I know they are rated at 200 watts max. The Denons...

I have a Boston PV1000 sub, 1000 watts continious. For such a small little sub, it'll really reach down and move some air. Only problem with this thing is that its much to happy to dance around and literally jump around when the bass gets heavy(LOTR beginning). I tried the velcro patches, no...

So, I was enjoying a rather loud session of the CBS Mastersound Wish You Were Here(Pink Floyd), right around the +0db range and off goes the reciever. Eh, no worries right? I thought so, figured a protect circuit kicked in. Well, its now 5-6 hours later and I can't even listen to a song at what...

So I splurged some and got myself a Samsung HLM507W(50" DLP rig). Brought it home, ran the cable line to it and let it warm up for awhile. Then popped in the AVIA disc and began the process of basic calibration. Was pretty close out of the box, just needed a nudge here and there really. I cannot...

Short n' sweet.... Plasma-Not going to happen, to expensive(tho they do look SOOOOO good). LCD-Might be willing to play in this league IF the quality justifies the expense. RPTV-This is looking like the likely candidate. CRT/Tube type-Yikes, price! Great picture, its a dark horse in this...

Been diggin around, and have the steps down to get a decent reference level, but I don't know where to take the SPL readings. I layed the meter in front of the sub and got wildly varying numbers depending on how close the meter was. Up close 90, where I sit won't even register(less than 50 I'd...

I have run across the mention if the Avia disc a few times now, and my searches don't dig up much on how it goes about its thing. I have used the amp's built-in generator and my DV45's built-in to get the speakers up to snuff. Question is, is the disc gonna do anything better?

Friend linked me here, he is building a tummolt(sp?) sub, and he's the evil entity that got me into high-end stereo. I won't bore y'all with questions just as yet, that search feature will keep me busy for awhile I'm sure. Just kinda wanted to feel the place out, and say hi. Oh, here is whats...
