Home Theater Systems and Cable Dressing

Crank up the gain and if you hear too much noise on the softest sound from a DVD (if you really need to hear it) then you have a problem.

Cable dressing after service??....wtf..That's some new audio jargon for me. You know all the fat is from the cable dressing not from the bowl of cables... :P

It sounds like he's looking for one of those fetish newsgroups.

Your cables should be IMMEDIATELY replaced by four-point barbed wire!

Knots in the barb wire are bad for sound.. D from BC

Well, that's a start but you left out the most important steps: the barb wire has to be soak in a fresh citric acid bath made from Florida oranges. They have to be picked between 7:10 AM and 9:00 AM, and only from the northern edge of the grove. The acid has to be extracted, then heated to 142 degrees F by 10:15 at the latest. Then the wire has to soak for exactly 27 seconds in a vat that holds 42 gals of acid, per pound of treated wire. This micropickels the surface to remove the surface slag, which chokes the low end. NEVER reuse the acid for a second batch of wire.

Don't forget to compensate for the phase of the Moon. ;-)
