    Replace lamp+housing or bulb only?

    Is there any reason to buy the complete housing replacement along with the bulb? For example, for Sony HW45ES the manual specifies LMP-H210 as the replacement. I can get that on B&H (Sony authorized) for $300. Or, using the bulb specs from the B&H product page, if can get a UHP 215/150W 0.8...

    Salk SS8 for a song!

    Found someone in St. Louis, MO selling the SS8 AND C7 for under $9000 :eek::eek:. http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=d9cqksg4q6lqlsabb0sm28ghs1abeqb5&topic=149473.0 I am in no way associated with the sale or seller. Just trying to get them sold so that I can stop arguing with...

    HTKamikazee Product Posts

    Can we move all these posts to a new section called... wait for it... 'Product Announcements' and not clutter the rest of the forum please? It is especially aggravating when there is a different post for every speaker in the same product line, see SnapAV Episode® Signature 1300 Series (Model...

    Calibration conundrum

    I have been using the REW + Umik1 setup and always used the 0 Degree Narrow Band mic calibration file. I kept the mic on axis and fixed for the duration of the testing to prevent variation across measurements. Today out of sheer curiosity (and being sick of moving the mic for each speaker) I...

    A class act, this lot...

    Thanks to the hawk eye, Steve81 and our kick buttowski mods, Mark (jinjuku), Matt34 and Master Chief, Gene, all being such a class act, my accidentally permanently banned handle has been reinstated. I want to extend my unbounded gratitude to these guys and aver that Audioholics is the best...

    A tale of two receivers (Onkyo NR818 and Denon X4000)

    This is not really a review per say. I played with two awesome AVRs and this is me recapping the fun experience for my AH brethren. My apartment’s living room HT is about 12 ft. across and 22 ft. long, when including the open floor plan kitchen. My MLP is about 9 ft. from the TV/brickwork...

    I found this speaker, The Horn Shoppe Model 2, comes with an optional grill that makes it simply irresistible... :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D. Love it.

    In depth: Mastered for iTunes

    One of the tech blogs that I frequent did a long and technically strong article on the "Mastered for iTunes" alledged audible superiority over general 128 kbps encoded MP3s. I'm not getting to it until much later today, but it has the makings of a great read and perhaps good discussion here...

    Ikea selling built in TVs

    Ikea will be introducing a line of HT cabinets that have TV, BD player and 2.1 sound built in. Brilliant! Coco's take on the product, equally brilliant.

    Neil Young Experiment?

    Neil Young files for trademark on a new audio format among other things. Put together they look like the makings of a (potentially) higher quality audio service than what the market currently offers. Here is the Rolling Stones article and the USPTO filing. I don't need another online...

    Time to reorganize forum

    Can we move the 'Beginners and Audiophytes' section to a more prominent location than (what I consider to be) an afterthought? While we are at it, let's also give them a ton of stickies on layout, calibration, "AH recommended system for your budget", etc. The Mods will need to enforce that all...

    There's a spare TV behind Andrew Gash

    So, make better use of that real estate, thusly: Interactive presentation screen for Andrew. (Something comes up on the screen and Andrew points to it and speaks about it, for example, the big torroid used for the Audioengine A5+ plate amp.) "What is in the box" photo stream Hot chicks...

    Stickey tips and tricks

    Perhaps we can make a "Tips and Tricks/ Known solutions to common issues" thread in the Amps, Pre-Pros & Receivers Section. Information like this is priceless and with little knowledge of what to look for, an AV noob would only chance upon it. On this ancient thread, there were some useful...

    FS: SVS PB-12 Ultra Piano Black

    This sub cost me $1600 all told and I'll let it go for $1000 (prefer local sale in Seattle area but will ship at buyers expense). I will throw in an Auralex Gramma for the price too. Original packaging is long gone... This thread has all pics you could want and an interesting read about this...

    Frankfurt Auto Show 2009

    I had the good fortune of being there just at the right time so that I could catch the 2009 show. Unfortunately, my SLR decided to malfunction, so my backup point and shoot was all I had. So, I am really dissapointed with the pic quality... but, here are the highlights... BMW had line up of 3...
