Yeah you can, and you'll save a lot of money that way. There are some *really* good how-to books on the subject - I don't remember which ones are good cuz I haven't read any in years and years - but...

The worst wiring isn't in 40s homes, it's in 70s homes. Back in the 70s there was a copper shortage for a brief period so it became economical to use steel-aluminum alloys in wire. Only problem is...

No that would be my ex-girlfriend.

So I just bought a 100' roll of good speaker wire (not *great*, but much better than the off-brand 16 gauge I was using - I don't have Sid's budget).

Simple question: If I use slightly different...

I had all but given up on JBL after the utter crappiness of most of the original Northridge series but DAMN. These sound awesome, the frequency response was good (no apparent gaps) on every music I...

$119.

But, I'm thinking I might spend $45 instead and get a KLH 5-disc. Yeah, KLH is a comparatively sucky brand, but it'll hold me over until I got the money for some real shizzat like the new...

I'm thinking about picking this unit up as a cheap way of adding multiple-CD capabilities to my HTUC (home theater under construction). I'm sure there's better sounding multi-CD changers out there...

That wouldn't work with his 525 though, none of those receivers have phono inputs

Due to unexpected financial difficulties I'm turning out to be a lot farther out from the "dream system" I posted about a month or so ago than I thought.

In the meantime, I've been moved into my...

I am thinking about getting surround stereo from a car amp by taking two sets of bookshelf speakers and hooking both the right and left channels in parallel.

For instance, take this hypothetical...

I wonder about putting the sub next to the bed...?

edited to add: or at the foot of the bed, but front-firing into the frame.

Hmm, didn't think of used. But a quick search on eBay found that HK sells refurb. AVR125's for as low as 60-80 bucks, depending on how many people were bidding. And since the bedroom speakers are all...

Well, I'm going to be making my own sub box with the correct amount of in^3, adding thicker wood on the bottom as needed to raise the height so it's almost flush with the boxspring and then sliding...

So next weekend I move from my current studio into a one-bedroom and I'm'a have a sound system in each room of the apartment. Bathroom is a ghetto Sony boombox. Right NOW, the main room sound system...
