    Banana Plugs - solder or screw?

    Hi RH, The product is described as "...Plated in pure gold for maximum reliability; Screw or solder attachment; Suitable for cable up to 4mm; Pin length is 14mm..." brand is Shark. They're a very solid, quite compact banana, just what I was looking for. Pic (not the best) attached. Please...

    DVI-D / HDMI...Identical Signal?

    Many thanks Jonny, This is more or less what my pal said - I s'pose the other opinion stems from the fact that DVI on AV equipment isn't as popular as HDMI; hence the HDMI-HDMI predjudice?! But again, thanks for confirming this for me:D Best regards, DC

    Banana Plugs - solder or screw?

    Hi there, I've come to terminating my speaker cable with some bananas & I was informed that the screw connection would be fine, but have found that many audiophiles choose to solder. I assume that this is to do with resistence etc., so which would provide the better connection? This is my...

    DVI-D / HDMI...Identical Signal?

    Hi Folks, Just asked a business mate of mine about my DVI-D to HDMI cable that I feed from my DVD player to my HD LCD Screen and he says that the signal would be identical to a signal that would be provided by a direct HDMI to HDMI connection. However, I have heard it said that the...

    New 7.1 HT Set-Up - Bass Management Contradiction?

    Hi Bryan - no worries, I know the feeling;) I've pretty much read the manual from cover-to-cover and have scrutinised the tech-spex and I can't any reference to slope; as for the xover points - 40; 60; 80; 90; 100; 110; 120; 160; and 200 hz respectively. Yes, it can send the bottom end of...

    New 7.1 HT Set-Up - Bass Management Contradiction?

    Thanks again, This is very similar to how a few people I've asked reckoned it would work on my sub - however, to test this theory I used a relatively bass heavy stereo CD track (that would obviously bring the xover into play etc), audibly AND SPL meter testing the reaction to the different...

    New 7.1 HT Set-Up - Bass Management Contradiction?

    Thanks SheepStar, Glad I'm not the only one;) I mean, this is kinda what I've been doin' to attempt to solve my dilemma, but it goes against the grain of all the stuff I've read/been told etc., and of course, is pretty much unorthodox for calibrating one's sub into one's system:D But I...

    New 7.1 HT Set-Up - Bass Management Contradiction?

    A little snippet of additional info... It occured to me this morning that there's another thing that might be influencing my prob. The sub has a "Movie/Music" switch; am I right in thinking this is similar to the "Slam/Depth" switch on REL etc subs. I recently read that "...the 'Slam'...

    New 7.1 HT Set-Up - Bass Management Contradiction?

    Many thanks MDS, Yeah I understand 'bout the xover not being an absolute, but I deeply appreciate the rest of your explanation. I'll confess to not fully comprehending everything you mention, but yeah, I can grasp the basics of what you're saying. But I still haven't a clue as to the slope...

    New 7.1 HT Set-Up - Bass Management Contradiction?

    Hi Bryan, Cheers for the reply - mmm, I'll happily plead ignorance here and say that I'm not sure exactly what ya mean by 'slope' . If it ain't too much trouble could you elaborate; moreover, I assume this info should be in the manual? I only ask as I haven't seen any reference to it's slope...

    New 7.1 HT Set-Up - Bass Management Contradiction?

    Hi there folks :D Well, after searching high ‘n’ low and having read (and in many cases re-read) ALL of the articles here on AHs regarding Bass Management and Subwoofer calibration/integration, I still can’t seem to arrive at a conclusive answer to my dilemma. But a little background to...
