Component cable for long runs
Saki70, I have some Tributaries Silver component cables in a 6m length that I used for years with no problems. I haven't used them in years, but as mentioned the last time I used them they were very good in picture quality, sharpened and color res... 
Name The Intro
That was fun, I missed a few as well. It reminds me of Denver's 95KIMN radio back in the 60's having these contests and I loved to play. But being a long distance phone call, I was parentially guided to NOT to make those calls. This also brings to... 
Well recorded solo piano and solo acoustic guitar?
Bruce Cockburn-speechless, for guitar 
Receiver HDMI problem
As Cerrot says the handshake is vital. Also make sure all your resolution settings are the same on each component in the signal chain. Whether it be 720p or 1080p, everything needs to be the same to help in that "handshake" with HDMI. In my experi... 
Should i have my Harmon Kardon repaired or replace
I would replace it, if your brother gave it to you, at this point it owes you nothing. As old as it is, chances are repairing it, may only obligate you to invest more if it breaks again. Especially if you're only use is the phono stage, depending ... 
new gilmour album
Thanks for the heads up, Oilmanmojo. I hadn't heard of him doing anything new. 
what do members day dream of to Pink Floyd?
I wouldn't say that I daydream, but rather reminisce about the first years of my developing appreciation for the music and talent it took to create. I still can sit and listen and find that the stress of the day fades.... 
Peachtree Audio Nova 220SE price drop
Kinda like car rebates. They offer the bigger incentives on the models they can't sell. And usually because a new model is coming and inventories are high and they want to help their dealers move these, so they be more inclined to order the new mo... 
Chris Squire, Rest in Peace
Thinking back on the times I attended Yes concerts, he was the animated and "theatrical" for the lack of a better word, on stage. He not only loved music but also performing. I would be truly surprised if we ever see another Yes album. Hear the Mo... 
Looking for Device to Boost Sound from a Home-Secu
As Dweller said, get the service involved. Any tampering may have a negative effect on the alarm system. If it is a private system that is not monitored, then add a headphone jack at the speaker and plug it into an amplified external speaker. Poss... 
What to do with replaced tweeters
It is up to you but, if you ever think you may sell the speakers, I would keep them. Even though the new tweeters sound better, but most buyers want as much of the original speaker/component when buying. Just an opinion of course. 
Electronics Repair in Denver
50 miles north of Denver in Loveland try Don Barr at The Sound Doctor. He will have it for a while but if it can be fixed he can do it. 
Cleaning, polishing Speaker Cabinets ?
I use a citrus based cleaner, then apply bees wax and buff to a nice shine. I find that using a soft dust cloth for the final buffing brings the bees wax to a gloss. Then I check by rubbing my fingertip on the finish to assure all the wax has been... 
Revel F208 Review by Earl
Thanks you for your response. In reading your comments on the rock presentation at higher volumes, if interpret correctly, that more power seems to bring them to life. Would you say that maybe a different amp/pre-amp would correct the "thinness" a... 
Revel F208 Review by Earl
Earlxtr, thanks for your review. I did hear them last year at RMAF and was impressed as well. I do have a question, as I currently own F32's and would consider trading into the New Performa series, but the local dealer doesn't stock or display the...
