When it comes to heat dissipation and your electronics in an entertainmentcentre, I was wondering which is more advised? Blow fresh air over yoursound system or pull heated air away? What seems obvious to me would be tohave fresh air blown in and heated air removed ~ two fans in effect. But, ifyou're only using one fan, is there a preference going with a particularmethod? Is there a difference as long as you have the air flow?

May be quality equipment. I built a small center to house my electronics and to set my TV on. All the supporting electronics, Amp/tuner, DVD burner, DVD/CD player and HD DVR all live behind closed smoked glass doors but the back of the cabinet is 80% open. For 14 years the AMP Tuner has been in this spot with no ill effects except for the occasional burned out LCD back light. All of the rest of the components have done just as well. FWIW my Amp/Tuner is an upper end, $1K Yamaha that I purchased in 1994.

The same is true for RCA cable, toslink, subwoofer cable, speaker cable,etc.You can definately get cheaper stuff, but I've found that has pretty high grade stuff(Belden/Canare cable, Canare/Neutrik connectors) at reasonable pricesfor what you get.Chris

I've bought HDMI cables and audio cables and video cables at

cables were super cheap (half what bluejeanscable charges for HDMI) and very high quality. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for any kind of cable. The web site works great, and buying is easy as well. No affiliation whatsoever, just a happy customer for at least 3 years now.
