Hi, I'm getting a Daewoo 42" plasma at Fry's for $2300. It says it is running 480p native, can accept inputs of 1080i or 720p. It has 2 sets of component videos and 1 15-pin PC monitor-type connector at the back. I have a progressive scan DVD player. Ok, am I feeding it the best signal...

NAD? Someone mentioned NAD? I've just got a NAD T163 7.1 a/v preamp a few days ago for $1350. Still tinkering with it but great stuff coming out of it so far.

The edgy, little bit high pitch hum was my first problem. Disconnecting the cable TV gets rid of this hum. Then I noticed a low, soft hum. Grounding the DVD & preamp gets rid of this hum. Then I noticed a low hissing noise with my ears next to the speaker. It seems to reach a maximum at...

I blame X10 because I have nothing else to blame. After re-grounding the cable TV to the same ground as the house ground to get rid of a ground loop hum, I start hearing a small hissing noise whenever I put my ears next to the speakers with no source on. This hissing noise goes away when I...

I don't know how to move the X10 onto a different line. Then my next question is which is the better active conditioner out there.

Hi, Looks like I've got AC noise in my power line, probably because I have X10 running on it. I'm thinking about using an old UPS as a line conditioner for my HT equipment. Has anyone tried this? Thanks, Chi

Hi, I have a NAD T163 a/v preamp with maximum output level of 5V, a B&K AV5000II 5-channel amp with input sensitivity of 1V, voltage gain of 28V. Where/how do I set the gain on the amplifier? To make matter worse, I have another 2-channel amp from Parasound HCA-750A that has input...

TanT, This feedback killer is a great lead. Thanks. In my setup, I used a DTECH wireless microphone + a Philips DVD player going to a Vocopro mixer, then to a home theater preamplifier then to a 5-channel amplifier. I have 4 ceiling speakers almost directly above so I have to be very...

Kevin, May I ask what tube monoblocks are you using? How many WPC? Oh yeah, Christmas is coming. Chi

Has anyone mixed hybrid amps for the 3 front channels with solid state ampsfor the 2 surround channels? I have a Parasound HCA-750 (75w/ch) for the surrounds and am thinking about getting the Jolida 1703RC, 75w each, for the front 3. I just heard the Jolida amp at a dealer and it was awesome...
