    Denon AVR 3600 and no set up menu on screen

    in Home Theater

    oldmako:

    You can use any of the Video Inputs on the back of your TV (Video 1, Video 2, etc). Just make sure you are using the "Monitor Out" jack on the back of the Denon.

    Not knowing the connections on the back of your TV, you do need a Composite Video Jack. My brother's new Samsung Plasma doesn't have a composite choice, only HDMI and Component.

    We'll get you up and running.

    Looking for tube amp suggestions for Khorns

    Who would of thought that both Craig and Cut-throat both be posting in a thread that makes mention of S_T amps?!!??!![;)]

    I, too, am curious on what you are up to Craig.

    Thanks

    Cut-Throat,

    Well I don't think I'll be filling that exact hole in the market place. The amp I have in mind will be my offering with Seul (Soul in craiglish Wink ) with just a touch of T added..... Have I sparked your interest yet?

    Help me understand the Heresy III

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Hi:

    The Heresy III's are the best bang for the buck in relation to the new Heritage offerings.

    You do however have the option to upgrade Heresy II's to Heresy III's via an upgrade kit direct from Klipsch. There are a couple of threads out there that shows the upgrade process in great detail.

    Good luck in your adventure and be rest assured that no matter which avenue you choose, it's still Klipsch. [:D]

    Thanks

    Hi Kevin:

    I'm doing good!! Hope all is well with you and yours!!

    Any exotic fly fishing trips planned to escape the winter?

    I didn't explain very well at all what I installed on the bottom of my bass bins. They are neoprene "gliders" not sliders, which can be confused with the hard plastic type cups that people place under the legs of furniture.

    Here is a link to the thread I followed and it's near the bottom of page 2 that references what I'm trying to convey.

    Hi:

    Mine are situated in natural corners and resting on a hardwood floor. I've added 3 "sliders" (no, not White Castle burgers) to the bottom of each bass bin as suggested by HDRBuilder.

    I've added pipe insulation to the tail boards but not to the top of the bass bins as others have mentioned. Don't know why I missed/overlooked that part but will be adding the pipe insulation to the bass bins shortly.

    Thanks

    Weak Phono Output?

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    CapZark:

    I'm running into the same exact problem you are experiencing.

    My BBX is in Mark's hands to see if there are any issues with its Phono section.

    The TT (MusicHall 2.1) works fine connected to my Scot 299c but when it's connected to the BBX LOMC, I have to crank the volume and the gains all the way up just to get an audible sound. A CD/DVD player hooked up to the BBX works fine.

    It's frustrating and I'll keep you up to date on my progress as I go along.

    HT Speakers to go with Cornwall I's

    in Home Theater

    Posted

    Hi:

    I've been using a KLF-C7 for about 8 years with my CW1's and have been more then satisfied with the results.

    There has been times that I've swapped out the C7 with another CW (Non Vert) and the difference to my ears wasn't as substantial enough to warrant such a big center speaker.

    I also have had an RC-3 in the mix and there was a noticeable difference so I use the RC-3 as it was intended for; It's being used with a full RF-3 HT system in my bedroom. (RF-3's, RS-3's).

    Good Luck in your adventure!!!

    Belles vs KLF-30

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Posted

    Like Edwinr, I too have tried a lot of different amplifiers with my Belles.

    Scott 299c, Teac Al700p, Dynaco ST-70, the same ST-70 but with Craig's Point-to-Point modifications, and a few different AV receivers (All Denon).

    I'm not sure what combo I like the best but the Modded ST-70 has been hooked up the longest.

    I also own KLF-30's and do miss having them in my mainstream system. Sometimes you just need that chest thumping bass to rattle the foundation.

    Thanks

    JJ

    P.S I've only used pieces of fruit for the Pre-Amp duties. (JM-BBX w/ cream and JM-Peach)

    Spade Connectors

    Dylan:

    I bought some these and also the Non-Banana ones from Parts Express a while back.

    Maybe I need to give them another try.

    The trouble I had was that the forks seemed too thick and it felt like if I tightened them too much, it would crack the barrier strap on the Scott. The Non-banana style of these connectors were so poorly made that most of the Allen studs were stripped and/or not de-burred to accept the Allen wrench.

    Could have gotten a bad batch from Parts Express and it wasn't worth my time and effort to return them.

    Thanks Dylan

    Crimp connections can be very good, but you need the right type of crimp tool to make good crimps every time. They are not very expensive and this one in this link will do a good job. Looks like they are out of stock right now.

    The next problem is to find good terminals. Seems in the last few years, they have been getting poorer in quality. I think they have been going to thinner metal in the barrels and some I have used don't compress right. When the problem came up, I bought several thousand of the ones I found that worked well.

    Thanks for the info, Bob.

    I think I need to find a good "How to Crimp" primer.

    My technique of jamming the wire into the connector and squeezing the living @#$@ out of it, with total disregard of the position of the connector, is not right way to go about it.
