JOHN GALT

Don't feel stupid, nothing wrong with making mistakes. Yes but first marrage, now this![]

Thanx everyone! I feel so stupid.

I just bought a HD-CRT for my two channel. I have a oppo unit and a play station 3 (PS-3) that have HDMI outputs, so last night I bought a HDMI splitter and hooked it up to the back of the tv. One cable then goes to the back of the oppo the other to the back of the PS-3. It does not work. I assumed that as long as one of the two was not sending a signal to the tv that everything would be fine, not the case. It will not even work with the units turned off, I checked the cables separately, the splitter I checked each side separately and they work fine. So my question is: What am I doing wrong. I assume that one must be able to hook up a simple splitter opposed to a $200 box to do what I want to do. Any advice suggestions, similar experience?

Your plan sounds grate (sp) we/all think you should start cutting!

So they are not SET, but tube rectified SET. Corn-fuzed! Thanx for the feedback Marvel, I had another ear-opening day with the stereo. Mondays the place here is deserted, so I can crank up without a guilty conscience. Try as I did, I had to put back on the EQ to bright in the top end, or just the way I like listening I don't know witch. Next I am going to put back on the old AA crossovers, and see how I like that, if nothing else I think I am going to have Crites build me a AA crossover, I may want to put on a concert, who knows. That story is a little tongue in cheek, I know of the solder slingers, and they really don't want anyone to know they "reworked" a amp, but I think it turned out real nice. Now that I know it is a hand me down, I will not be hesitant of installing VU meters, and Volume pots. No need for face photo, no marking etc.

Not quite S.E.T. for life. Well I got the new 3.5 watt set 2A3 amp. Excuse the Yelling in advance! I LOVE THESE AMPS, IT IS THE SECOND BEST STEREO PIECE I BOUGHT, I WOULD NOT TRADE IT FOR EVEN A DINNER WITH THE PRESIDENT... That being said I am a laid back kind of guy, and when I went to my friends house to hear his stereo, it was littered with amps everywhere. There were at least two stereos set up at each end of his listing room, one stereo had triamped highly modified K- horns. Sitting on a bookshelf was a pair of set monoblocks, not on the bookshelf but sitting on top of the spines of the books. I assumed that they were the same brand as the other dozen other amps laying around, and as I heard a set amp for the first time several weeks earlier I expressed a desire to buy them. Two weeks later I had them and as the deals final handshake came closer I realized that these book straddling amps were not the same as the others, oh no they had a sordid past. He commissioned these amps made, got them and found them wanting, he then sent them to some of the hot shot solder slingers west of the Mississippi and had them work on them. So apparently this amp was passed around all these solder guru's, and in the privacy of their shops they opened her up, became intimate with her, changed parts of her personality, used her and sent her on to further scrutiny to others having the same base interests in S.E.T. ie ness. Now I have her and those that I know want to know what her name, who is her daddy, and no one wants to own up. I have decided to call it: The Red Dress Amp, how many people savored her color, timbre, and _____, may never be known. But Here she is to stay, I dressed her up, accessorizing her with old stock RCA 2A3 tubes which I got for a song. Here is a picture of it with some more of her kind, an old OPPO player, that I use on my two channel to listen and watch concert DVD, etc. A SAS stereo audio 10 A line preamp, A CHEAP GRAPHIC EQ. And those Bob Crites A crossovers that I have not thanked him for yet, THANX BOB! Not quite S.E.T. for life, though, I am getting a turntable this week, thanx unowho! And a cassette player for all those albums I dubbed so I wouldn't have to mess with vinyl, yet did not appreciate vinyl as I do analogically now! So you are never done, you are never set.

http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/Weather/story?id=4682373&page=1 Link has some photos of damage in Southern Illinois, I have lived there, the earthquakes were tolerable (I was in the good friday earthquake in Anchorage 1964) its the tornado's that freaked me out!

You are only three days older than I ol dawg!

I backed up my birthday by nine months and found out what my parents were digging...

I guess that is Behringer Feedback Destroyer

TYPE OPPO IN SEARCH ON THIS FORUM!

Yes I have to agree, I have heard two systems in the last month with S.E.T. and my ears have been opened! My friend has a set of chinese iron set as he calls them, who introduced me to a different fellow with Quicksilver 300b set, and that was all it took, he also has a pair of Don Allen 2A3 set that I am picking up friday! I am only going to use my pp for a doorstop!

So you are not really John Galt! PS. the humor in here gets weird if you haven't figured that out yet.....the correct ansewer is "Who is John Galt"

John Galt is a character in Ayn Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged! I listen to everything except reggae, and rap, I have many concert DVD also my two chanel has a oppo player.

You are right about Ann, I just liked her for her sex passages...I am reading Gravity's Rainbow now
