What New Stuff Have You Bought? If You Care To Share Thead! :)

[zieglj01]

The price was real good - and I wanted a new/different AVR -
New from Ebay for $188.00

This receiver is nice - brand new in the box for $188, plus $20 shipping

The seller even double boxed it with padding stuffed inside

It is better looking in person - all the RCA inputs are gold and has 2 HDMI monitor
out-puts (only 1 will do the on-screen menu and audio ARC).

It was made for the pro-side like schools, Churches, mall stores, restaurants, sports-
bars and the likes. However, just as good for us on the consumer side.

Everything sounds clean so far, and the video picture is nice/good.

Nice on screen operations - and what I like, is the on screen volume level display

I am a fan of the receiver orange window alpha/numeric display

The remote is not first rate - however it is easy to read, and handle

Yes it is an Integra (Onkyo) receiver - however for the price a solid deal.

If someone is on a tight budget, or needs a second receiver - this is hard to over
look for the price.

I modded some old BTech speaker stands (platform wasn't sturdy enough to hold the Alphas) using Simpson Ties from Home Depot and I got the Alphas out of the cabinet.. sounds much better now.

Just cut a deal to pick these up Monday after work.

4 JBL GT1000 10 inch Subwoofers Sub Woofers 10" GT 1000 Old School | eBay

Looks like we need a new rule where you can only post stuff after you've bought it.

But, you can put up a picture of your new dresser. I actually like that better than four woofers.

I never knew Tascam made receivers. I knew them from their cassette decks way back when.

Good job - yes, they should sound more life-like now.

I do like the one I have, and it replaced my Denon

that Tascam avr looks very much like uncover brother of Yamaha...

Speaking of new purchases - I got this on amazon for $50 after long price alert watch. As for knife itself - it cuts like lightsaber

Built around the Integra 30.4 receiver - one vender is selling the Tascam for $1899.

Still sitting in the box, was heavily debating this vs The MacBook Pro Retina 2.4 8GB Ram 256G SSD. I like the 2 in one, the display is awesome w/ touch

- Have read there are problems with WiFi which is a deal breaker (can do the upgrade myself to better internal card for $30 bucks)
- Battery life is just 6 hours

Will decide in the next day or so.

Ok I found out that the laptop I purchased already had newer WiFi card and CPU, so I opened it, tested it and posted a quick review in the forums

It might not be the latest, but to me it sounds the greatest. Processor was for free in mint condition with out any marks at all. Cost to me was the remote ($85.00) Needs a little cleaning, that's about it.

Sorry no watts, it's a processor. It's pushing 3800 watts into 8 ohms and 5600 watts into 4 ohms. Amps are Cinepro 3k6-Cinepro 1k2 and AB International 800.2

I love those old krells ...

When you have a Krell and get upgraditus ... well, what then?
