Please Help Ambient Bass Resonance
Glad the "pads" are helping out the situation. They are decoupling the TT from the resonances of the shelf that it is sitting on. Something I suggested you look into in an earlier post. It is the opposite approach of Stringreen which seeks to coup...

IME, light output is only more important than black levels in a room where you can not control the ambient light. If that is the issue than LED's are even better as they do not have as a reflective screen surface as a plasma and are capable of eve... 
Center Channel Speaker Question
If your dialogue alone is hard to understand it may be more of a "lip sync" issue. Try closing your eyes and if the dialogue is now understandable then its a lip sync issue. I know it seems crazy to try but if your lip sync is not adjusted correct...

I agree with all of the above excellent recommendations. However I had a similar situation develop and found that I had to to decouple my TT from its shelf as well as the tube phono stage from its shelf before I could eliminate the feedback altoge...

I don't thing that images are "drawn" anymore. Each pixel on the screen of LCD TV has corresponding bit in frame memory buffer and whole frame appears at once.Correct. I apologize for the over simplification. You are also correct in that there is ...

There is plasma and there is LCD. Who makes an LED TV?LED is really an LCD diplay using a LED to backlight the panel instead of a flourescent tube light bulb. Some of the the newer panels add to the confusion by calling them LCD/LED Tv's which alt... 
Reviewing the Reviewers - and the decline of HiFi
If one just looks at reviews as a jumping off point and do their due diligence (homework, footwork, inquiries) and stop relying on others to gift them the answer to their prayers, than all would be well in the world.We've become a spoon fed countr...

when I set mine to highest rate (240Hz) movies look like video made by home camera (soap opera effect). There is a reason why movie makers still record exactly 24 frames/s while technology allows for much moreLets not confuse pseudo higher frame r...

As I have posted previously I believe that Plasma is the best way to go. However if you do want to consider LED I strongly recommend that you make sure that pixelation caused by motion is not bothersome to you. I, as well as about half of my custo... 
Bob Carver LLC has been purchased by Emotiva
As with lots of maunufacturers these days they may start having the sub assemblies made overseas to save costs but do the final assembly/packaging/shipping here in the USA. Sort of a "have your cake and eat it to" scenario. 
How powerful is a Wavac MD-300B
I have a 300b Jolida amp that sounds much louder than the 8 watts would have you believe. It might be because of the structure of the harmonic distortion. Our ears/brain judge volume in part by certain distortions. So I appreciate that it "sounds"...

IMO, LED's still can not rival plasma tech concerning black level, which of course means truer colors. Also, although LED's can output more brightness they can not out do a plasma in dynamic contrast which is any fully black image next to a fully ...

Very unusual. thanks for the correction. Glad it was only the fuse.

Definately the Panasonic Plasma unless you need a thinner display or a less reflective surface or will be using it extensively for gaming.FWIW, a few years ago Panasonic bought all of Pioneer's Kuro tech and have integrated much of it into their p... 
Parasound A21 help?
The "on" button should light up red and then after a few seconds you should hear a click and the power switch will glow blue. Check your speaker hook ups for any shorts or try disconnecting the speaker leads.If the rear panel fuse is blown you wil...
