| Need help picking a preamp. There's a TAD 150 signature posted here for $700 - which is a good price on a great tube preamp. I don't know the seller, but own one myself. | |
| Most resolving solid state amp you've ever heard? I agree - Eagle 4, or Eagle 2C' (same amp, different face plate) I have both. | |

| channel cutting in and out a "pot" is a potentiometer - which is what controls your volume (ie it's the thing behind the volume knob that actually changes the volume level). It does this by having a "wiper" rub against a variable resistor. If the surface between the wiper a... | |
| channel cutting in and out I agree with Shadorne - it's likely a dirty pot. | |
| budget lcd or plasma: 720p good enough? I have a 50" 720p DLP display as a main TV, and a HT with 720p front projector on a 10 ft screen (see my system page). It's more than just "decent" IMO and I'm very happy with the resolution (even with the 10 ft dedicated theater), though maybe if... | |

| IEC connector install question 1) I bought a nibbler tool at Radio shack for this purpose. You'll also need files to smooth things out.2) yes, that's what I would do. | |
| Phono? I think the best tweak to the Belari would be to do some Tube rolling. You could probably have some fun there. I agree with Riley804 otherwise. IMO the next step from the Belari is probably to sell and add $50 (better still $100+)or so to what you... | |
| Does anybody listen to 'CAMEL' ? Camel is one of my favorite bands. I have pretty much all of their albums except a few of the the live/compilations. My favorites are the first 5 (#1, Mirage, Snow Goose, Mooonmadness, and Raindances), and then the last 4 (Dust and Dreams, Harbour... | |
