    What could be causing this grainy picture

    Sorry, can't help you with your problem. You may want to re-post this in the "Displays & Projectors" forum though. You may get some reponses there. GL.............

    The idea of buying a demo HDTV..........

    I believe it was the hlp 5663 but my issue was resolved for me...........went back 3 days later & it was gone :cool: Just as well..........I'm leaving my 1 brm flat & am looking for a house. Found one with an unfinished basement..........woohoo! Now if they'll just come off about $10k...... :D

    Is there anything better than Golden Ears?

    Just a word from a non-EE,audio enthusiast............. Does the fact that one speaker cable sounds "different"(not better) than another warrant spending obscene amounts(to most) of cash on them? I would venture to say that for most in this hobby, this could be equated to putting a $3K paint...

    What Is the best live show you've seen?

    Geez gary, you're lucky...........I used to live on the far side of Mitchell Field from the Nassau & played in it while it was being built( I was 7-8 YO)............went to my 1st concert there in '71(?).......... ...........The Osmonds :eek: ........ Somehow I think I would've enjoyed...

    Zeppelin: Robert Plant's Voice

    I agree Rob..............watching Plant sing was almost as enjoyable as hearing him sing. He's a powerful,mesmorizing presence(no pun intended) on stage & I couldn't imagine Zeppelin w/o him. I also find it interesting how his voice evolved over the years. I'm always trying to decide if I liked...

    How much $ did Zep get to whore it out to Cadillac?

    1st off, I disagree with the Notbored guy.................I think Zeppelin peaked with "Physical Graffiti", not with their 1st album. It seems that Caddy is trying to change the image of their cars from being "boats" to "sport luxury sedans". Using "Rock & Roll" isn't a bad choice. Are they...

    Audioholics equipment reviews

    You would think that if the entire staff at that store shared the same opinion of the Marantz gear they were selling then they would already have some literature to support their stance...............it's one thing to say "It's just our opinion", but to get defensive,or skirt the issue, when...

    Axiom M22ti with Boston Acoustics ?

    The M22's aren't floorstanders/towers...................if you've already got Bostons you may want to consider finding a deal on a pr of their towers. I have a pr of Boston vr950s which I use as surrounds(for now) with my Axiom M60's. There is a definite timbre difference as the Bostons are not...

    Ota Hd, How Do You Get Yours??

    The info at Antennaweb seems to be a bit obsolete. It shows numerous channels & directions in my area (Seattle) but when I change to "show digital chans only", it doesn't include the major networks which, coincidentally, happen to be the closest to me (about 31 miles). It only refers me some off...

    Bi-Amping Fronts

    Mtrycrafts......................those are interesting comparisons. I can't honestly say if I could tell the difference had I been part of the tests. What I do know is how the sound of my system has evolved from driving my Axiom M60's with a Yamaha RX-V620 to the 3300, & then adding Optimus...

    What Is the best live show you've seen?

    Saw Alice Cooper back around 1980...........great show with great theatricks but was dampened by a poor sound system...........Zeppelin in the Kingdome in the late 70's was great if you were close enough to decipher the sound(I was :eek: ). Saw Sammy Hagar open for Boston( or was it Journey?)...

    Bi-Amping Fronts

    Perhaps what hasn't been addressed is the quality of the power being supplied. If any old 16 watts will do, why would anyone spend $3K on a Levinson 2 X 100 wpc amp when a crappy Technics 100 wpc receiver would achieve the same results?

    Bi-Amping Fronts

    Math doesn't answer the question. I've never tried bi-amping but I'm much happier with the sound of my system with an amp added to my Yamaha receiver. Not because I can wake up the neighbors, but because at moderate listening levels I get better overall tonal response. And when I do want to turn...

    Rxv650

    The manual should tell you about hooking up to an amp,although I had a RX-V620 & it didn't have any pre-outs for an external amp. Without pre-outs you can't add an amp to it.

    Help ... losing sound

    I'd start by cleaning both ends of the FO cable if you haven't already. It could be just a poor connection that is being rattled a bit by the sound. If you have the option of using a dig coax you may want to try that. If not, & cleaning + re-terminating the original FO cable doesn't change...
