    Refurbished vs New thoughts

    Personally, I always get new electronics at discouted prices when new models come out, but I've pieced together 4 budget systems for my friend and they all bought refusbished from A4L; 2 of them perfect, 2 of them with glitches, which were promptly replaced with a working unit. In my case 50/50...

    Vizio E701i-A3 70" TV Do I need extended warranty

    TV's and electronics get outdated so fast that it's not even funny and everything is pretty much disposable these days. I wouldn't worry about the extended warranty, because for the price you'll pay for the warranty, in 2-3 years you'll essentially be able to get a better TV (unless it's $50 for...

    Dual SVS SB 13 Ultras or Dual Powersound Audio XS30's????????

    I can't compare the two subs, but I do have dual SB13-Ultra set-up in a room slightly larger then yours and when I hooked those up I could not believe what I was hearing. I've never heard anything sounding this clean and precise ...and it was all very effortless. The SB13 is an incredible sub...

    Blew another amp...can you guys help?

    If you want to run 4 speakers in stereo mode, you should probably look into getting a basic 5.1 AVR, hook up your 4 speakers to front L/R and surround L/R channels, one speaker per channel, and run that set up in multichannel stereo mode. If you do decide to get an AVR, I don't think you'll...

    B&w CM10 vs Nautilus 804

    This is very interesting what you said. You obviously sold the CM's for a reason. Obviously something was missing. You won't really match your center channel with 804's, 805d's, or anything else, as they have a different tweeter. Maybe your taste has changed and you need to sell the rest of...

    B&w CM10 vs Nautilus 804

    I've never heard the 804s, but I did hear the CM9's and CM10's and I wasn't impressed, even though I heard people raving about them, especially the CM10's. If you can, listen to both and make a decision based on that. Sure the 804's will give you bragging rights, but in the end what matters...

    DIY -> pretty speaker cables

    ...and I totally forgot... this is what you need to do, if you are looking for true 3-dimensional or even 4-dimensional sound stage: Attach two AA batteries to the ends of the cable, paying attention to the polarity and direction of the flow. What this will do...

    DIY -> pretty speaker cables

    16. Although it says that you could use a hair dryer to shrink the shrink wrap, unless you like to watch paint dry, I recommend a heat gun. Be sure you place the right color of the shrink wrap over the right plug at both ends of the cable. 17. As I said earlier, due to the thickness of my wire...

    DIY -> pretty speaker cables

    11. Once you have the plugs disassembled, drive out the screws until they are flush with the inside of the barrel. 12. Before you strip of the insulation, slide in wire inside the plug. The distance between the end of the pant leg and the edge of the plug is how much you need to cut off from...

    DIY -> pretty speaker cables

    The steps: 1. Cut your speaker wire to proper length, making sure you leave yourself a little extra slack; I did an average of 25% of what I measured. Do not strip the wire jacket, yet, as it will be more difficult to feed the cable through the sleeve. 2. Feed the cable through the...
