    portable headphones, not in-ear

    Koss KSC 75 Order them online and enjoy. They will run about $15 from amazon. They sound great, and you will not care a bit if they get sandy at the beach or something. If you want to spend a little money, i'd go for the Grados.

    Mirage Unitheater

    I bought a Uni-theater just before christmas and am pretty happy with it. It is part of a mostly new setup for a new house, and at first I thought it had a very tinny sound quality for television (mostly voices). I was very un-impressed going from low end Onkyo HTIB speakers to the...

    Help choosing mid/low end receiver

    Although it doesn't matter so much now that i've made my decision, what would you have considered in the sub $500 price range? Besides the 3 originally mentioned, I also considered the Yamaha RX-V661. I really didn't look any farther than those 4. I did drool over a RX-V861, but it was quite...

    Ipod control with HK receiver and "the bridge"

    Does anyone have any experience with using HK's with "The Bridge" for ipod control? I am thinking about doing this with a AVR 347, but will now need to rely exclusively on the on-screen controls and wanted to see if anyone had done this. How good are the on-screen controls? Thanks, schiesz

    Specs say 30.6 lbs, and this thing feels like its every bit of that then some. It wouldn't be such a big deal if I hadn't moved a week after I got it, and now i'm having to relocate it to the basement. I am GLAD it is heavy, since I keep reading about how all the good amps are very heavy, but...

    Been using the 347 for a few weeks now and like it a lot. I have run into a setback; it will not fit in my cabinet. I probably don't want it closed up in there anyway because of the heat that it produces, so its a good thing I was planning on controlling it remotely. I think its about to get...

    Broke down and bought a HK 347 from Harman on ebay. They sell their refurb stuff for amazing prices on there, if you have a little patience. I had pretty much decided on the 247, but the 347 wasn't too much more. Should arrive tomorrow. Thanks for the help. schiesz

    Are audiophiles the most gullable of hobbyists

    I don't shoot much skeet, but I do shoot trap. Used to be very good, and have always used a Remington auto. First one was an old model 58 that was my great-grandfathers, then my grandfather bought me a 1100 trap grade when I went to nationals for the second year in high school. A lot of the...

    HDMI audio versus Digital Coax?

    Is it correct that while the S/PDIF is a lower bandwidth connection, the optical has the same capabilities as the HDMI? Or does the optical connection have the same bandwidth limitations as S/PDIF? schiesz

    HDMI audio versus Digital Coax?

    I would think they would all be the same, since they are all digital connections, and rely on your receiver to decode the digital signal. schiesz

    Help choosing mid/low end receiver

    Thanks for the information Seth=L, I really do like the H/K receiver (AVR-247) and would love to try one out, but I have been somewhat concerned over their power ratings. It is good to hear someone with a similar opinion regarding their actual power. If I decide I need to get the H/K, I will...

    Help choosing mid/low end receiver

    This is pretty much what I have been able to figure out through reading manuals, reviews, and posts here. It seems that in order to do this (HDMI to component) the receiver needs to actually decode the HMDI and re-encode it to send the component. I believe that is why most of the OSD's for...

    Help choosing mid/low end receiver

    I am currently trying to decide between a lot of different choices in the moderate-low end receiver market. My budget is close to $500. My current system is an Onkyo Ht-S570, which includes a HT-R320 receiver. This receiver actually does a great job for me right now, but my system will be...
