Hey Folks -- Looking for a round up for currently in production Home Theater Power Conditioners/Voltage Regulators. The Brands I currently have in use around the house (APC, Monster) do not appear to be in production anymore. I've seen teardown of Furman Power Conditioners with them having...

Hey Folks! Been away for a long time but thought I'd poke my head back around these parts to throw out something I'm working on and seeing if there's any interest. I'm currently working on a 12v Linear 2000ma Power Supply for my recently acquired MUSE DIR9001+TDA1543x4 DAC to replace the cheap...

My recent project has been setting up a game/entertainment room in our house. This included a darts board, Mortal Kombat 2 arcade machine and also setting up my neglected Stanton Turntable. Well... I honestly had nowhere to put my turntable and nothing to power it! I was able to find the $15...

Hey Everyone! My wife and I moved recently and our new house has allowed me to setup a game room where I've hooked back up my turntable. Here's my setup: - Stanton STR8-90 Turntable - Harman/Kardon AVR7300 (Stereo Mode, 2x 125w) I have several questions, so please bear with me :) ...

I'm looking to set back up my turn table now that I have room in my new place. I already have two floor standing Infinity speakers (4", 1"). I'm looking for a good phono pre and a class A or AB amp for it. I'm sort of a novice when it comes to working with phono, so I'm open to...

I'm going to be cracking open my H/K AVR7300 this weekend to attempt to repair an issue I'm having with the power. When I turn on the mains power, the stand-by power button does not light up. I verified and the unswitched outlet is getting power. Meaning it's not a wiring issue from the...

IGN is Reporting that the lack of a video scaler in the PS3 is causing problems for certain displays. It looks like whatever the content renders at, is how it's displayed. For example, quite a few games say 720p. So if you have a TV (like my previous mitsubishi) that doesn't support 720p (my...

XBox360 HD-DVD Player So last night my friend and I called around San Diego and finally found an EB Games that had two HD-DVD players in stock that weren't already reserved for Pre-Orders. :D The unit itself seems very well constructed and is very sturdy. It is made from the same material...

My wife and I recently moved in with her parents in order for us to be able to save up for a down payment on a house (dude, seriously, **** southern california). Anyways, I had to sell my Mitsu 55" and get something that would fit better into one of the bedrooms they're letting us use...

Hey Everyone, My wife and I will be moving soon and we're selling our current home theater setup so we're not forced to move it. Our newer place will be smaller and I won't have room for speakers or a super large system, so I'm having to think about saving space. To this, my current...

Link If you're one of the first adopters who mortgaged the house to buy the earliest HDTV displays, don't expect to get full HD resolution when you take out a second mortgage for a high-def disc player when they come out later this year. Today the copy-protection rules for Blu-ray or HD DVD —...

I've been reading a lot lately about the War on Terror and giving it some thought. To me, the War on Terror has -a lot- in common with the "War on Drugs". Bad men in other countries (cartels, terrorists) are doing bad things that are going to hurt the United States. Back in the late 80's...

I arrived at my local Walmart at 4:15pm to discover I was the 14th person in line, and would probably receiving one of the FOURTEEN units my local Walmart would be selling at midnight. Lucky Lucky :) After taking some time to set things up and playing with it for a few hours, I think I'm...

So, my long term goal over the next 12 months is to convert my home theater to HDMI. In this process, I plan to purchase a new DVD player (Denon 3910) and a new receiver (waiting for all next gen. units to come out next year to make my choice). Currently, I'm looking for a replacement for...

UPDATED 11/11/05: Added AVR 340 Service Manual Recently I went looking for a copy of the service manual for my Harman/Kardon AVR 7300, because I wanted some details on the internals (DAC's used, DSP, etc). To my dismay, I found that places were actually SELLING these PDF service manuals...

So, lets do something about this. I'll create a poll for receivers in the $200 - $400 category. My first recommendations for this poll are: Harman/Kardon AVR130 (MSRP $399) Yamaha RX-V457 (MSRP $349) Perhaps some on the lower end of the category?

I'm really tired of seeing these, "Which receiver should I buy with my $xxx.xx budget" posts. There seems to be about 20 a week and I feel they really take away from actual conversation. Should we just put together a poll? Gather 5 receivers in every $200 price range and post THOSE choices...
