    Power Conditioner for under $400?

    I have used Furman Conditioners for years. They are meant for Pro-Audio type stuff, and you can usually find them at places like Guitar Center for ~$100 There nothing special or fancy looking, just conditioner with about 8 plugs on the back. One cool thing is the lights that pull out...

    Does this set look good or what...need feedback.

    Plus the off axis is much better with DLP and LCD (and plasma is great). However its usually off axis side to side, the Samsungs for sure if the TV is lower than you its start to loose its brightness. But the side to side is a good improvement. Flat screens usually have a matte type...

    B&W 302 speakers

    When I first had them, I placed each on top of a small 8" powered sub (Atlantic Technologies PBM162) and they sounded great for the price. After having the Maggies for so long, the extended highs would start to hurt my ears after extended listening, but that shouldn't be the case in most...

    Does this set look good or what...need feedback.

    I'm not much into extended warranties, but $130 sounds very reasonable. CRT's may be proven, but there are still issues that pop up here and there. I'm in the market for a big TV (65") and I started looking at DLP's, but I might be able to live with a CRT (my house is fairly dark and...

    B&W 302 speakers

    If you are referring to the DM302, then yes I have had a pair for about 4 years. I paid $250 for them, and at the time they were pretty good. They had a lot more "sparkle" then my Magnepan MMG's. I think the Maggies are pretty soft up top, but I'm used to it. I actually ended up replacing...

    subwoofer driving me crazy. it's bulky and not powerful.

    If your interested in attics as subs search "infinite baffle subwoofer". Its where you use a seperating wall to make a large space the box...in this case the attic becomes the enclosure. This lets the sub operate very naturally, since it has an ample amount of suspension behind it. However...

    Snobby Salemen Selling High End

    I have a Stereophile thats several years old. I believe it was the guy the does Analog Corner (Sam Tellig??) maybe (may have been a letter to the editor though), anyways they talked about a Hi-Fi shop up in the New England area, that charged like a $50 "consultation fee" just to enter the store...

    Flat vs. Standard Speaker Cable

    I have Nordost Solar Wind and some of the origal cables (the basic copper speaker wire, and the biwire one 2-something)....anyways there OK cables, however beaware that the speaker cables are kinda stiff, so you can shape them easy, and with that if you step on them they crimp up real nice...

    Capacitor Sound Blind Test Results

    I saw this happen to a particulary popular person on a particulary major audio message board, in about a years time they went from "so your saying that insulation types on wires make a difference?" to "I can easily tell the difference in material types on <equipment> feet".....very sad :( I...

    Which is best digital AV Receiver and Why?

    Also a feature to consider...and I don't know which do, but ones that will convert one video input to another...like composite to S-vid, or S-vid to compnent....that way you don't have three sets of inputs running to your TV. I think several high end models do this....at least with composite to...

    Any modern recievers with LD AC-3 inputs anymore?

    I'd like to get another reciever eventually, and I would like to enjoy my Laserdisc to the fullest. Currently I just use the PCM output for stereo or Pro-Logic since my Signature 2.0 doesn't have a RF input. And it seems like once DVD's started selling, manufacturers stopped putting in RF...

    Well, I had my first post deleted at AudioReview.

    I don't really like how at avsforum.com, you can't say the names of sellers or their prices, unless their the companies that advertise on AVS. Yet the companies that advertise on AVS mostly cater to high end stuff, so it makes it difficult to really do good research their. I've had posts...

    Speaker Wires for Kit Speakers - Diabolically Cheap!

    I believe you! All my speaker wires are held up off the ground by little tripods made out of cotton swabs....because we all know from Audioasylum that cotton is the best dielectric. I even use cotton strands to make the tripods. :D :rolleyes: :p My stance, I've used just about...

    Trick Question for the Gurus here... Has this been done before? please read.

    This would be a good trick. You could purchase just cheap TOSLINK cables and somehow affix them infront of the units LED, then run the wire to some panel...you would have to be fairly close to on-axis to see it, and it probably wouldn't be bright, but it would work. Heres a thick fiber...

    MP3Pro??

    I'm sorry did you say something? :D I have heard from several places, but not actually red the spec, that MP3pro deletes most if not all the information above 10 Khz, and then "sythensis" it back upon playback. So in effect it gets rid of half of the audio spectrum. This may be how it...

    Wal-Mart Battling for $10 CDs

    As for me I love Wal-Mart...I hated it when I was younger and had liquid cash and listened to what others said, but now that I'm an adult and have budgets I'm there all the time. Plus my mother and uncle in law both work for Wal-Mart and they like it there, its not the best job sure....but its...

    Moment of Weakness - Epson Home10+ or Infocus 4805?

    Have you guys heard anything about the Infocus LP540? Although the X1 and 4805 are pretty popular and a sweet deal, I wonder if the LP540 is better. It has 3 LCD's instead of one DLP cheap. Are there any benefits over the two configs, or would they be about equal? Also the LP540 runs...
