Thanks again fdlsys. You were spot on. Working perfectly with the antenna attached.  ;D Damn the electronics of today are advanced  :o

I'm afraid I bought it second-hand and didn't receive that antenna, but I'll connect a copper wire across the coax tonight and see what happens. I did have it tuned to an actual station when testing, but I'll give her another run with the copper in there. I'll report back. Thanks again.

Wow, are you serious? Geez I'm a dumbass! I figured since there was no static, something must be set incorrectly or broken. I'll go buy a coax aerial tomorrow quick and give it another try. Thanks for the help.

Hey guys. Could you please help me with this. I'm not sure if I'm missing something simple on this monstrosity, or if something is broken, but this thing doesn't make even a hiss when putting it on tuner mode? Just complete silence. My cd player plays just fine through it though. How can I...

In that case, I have no words  ;) Are you 100% sure it wasn't the placebo effect at play?

That's exactly it. Surely if your speaker cable is thick enough, bi-wiring shouldn't make any difference at all?

I thought he was referring to the myth that biwiring when you only have one channel on the amp provides noticeable improvements. Like so: http://www.brilliancehifi.co.uk/how-to-bi-wire-speakers.htm Even to a electronics noob like myself, that form of biwiring is a load of ****.

Hey Skeeter I too read that review, but go ahead and read the comments on that review which go more in depth. I am also quite keen on one of these. Are you getting it through NGR? Thanks

Insane. What else do you have "laying around"?  ;)

Holy ****, silver speaker cable!? How much did that cost?!?! Would you say that the slight boost in spl was worth the expense?

I think it's 12 gauge? At least that's what I thought  ???

That's exactly it, we DID test it on his system and I couldn't notice the difference. While he doesn't have ridiculously expensive cable, I think it's a Van Den Hul cable. We swapped it with my cheap R40/m 3mm wire and I couldn't notice the difference at all.

No argument here, I'm a complete newbie. I myself will never have a system that you guys would classify as 'good', but it sounds perfect to me. I have however many times listened to a friends' R80k system which he has tuned perfectly (he's a sound engineer), and while it does sound amazing, I...

@d0dja: Thanks for the reply. You make some good points!

Hahaha. Even if huge sums of money are being spent on creating a placebo effect, if you notice the difference, it is all worth it right? I feel fortunate that I am extremely skeptical of any expensive marketing claims until I've experienced it myself and I have yet to notice a difference in...

Hey guys I accidentally stumbled on this 2000 article on the "Ten biggest lies in audio" when researching the validity of bi-wiring. http://www.theaudiocritic.com/downloads/article_1.pdf It also calls complete BS on expensive audio cables which I always figured. I know the article is 10...

Thanks, will do  ;) The user manual for the CD67SE seems to be MIA. I see there are quite a few people online asking for the manual without luck. I did however see someone mention the CD63 is almost identical to the CD67 and I did manage to find the CD63 manual. Will send it along now. Glad...

Only a pleasure. Emailing the Service Manual to you as we speak  ;)

@alphabet: Thanks a lot. Just don't want you guys getting annoyed ;-) Yeah, I've read 2 reviews commenting on how well NAD and PSB work together. Tafelberg actually has a good looking deal like that at the moment. They have the NAD T737 AVR + T517 DVD player with the PSB HT1 speakers (incl...
