    A Worthy Antenna

    I have one of those Radio Shack powered antennas - the one that looks like a flying saucer on a pedestal...with rabbit ears. I have not been too fond of powered antennas, having used Terks in the past, but yesterday I decided on a hecksperiment. I matched it up with a power supply and...

    Line-level cables: The only difference I ever heard was when my not-terribly-expensive Cable Talk cables stopped passing signal. My cable collection was smaller in those days, and thus my choices were limited...so I tried a pair of component video cables. They actually sounded better than...

    Serious preamp (line amp) question:

    Many years ago I was lucky enough to score a TM-1001 tuner from a fellow who also owned an Ampzilla and two huge Saba speakers - he raved about it and after I used it I raved about it too. It was one of the best tuners I ever owned. Then I goofed, went to my local Radio Shack and bought the...
