New System Thread

[Seth=L]

Can't edit old posts anymore so here are my updates-

This thread is subject to swift changes.


I am only a college student living in a 2 bedroom apartment. I don't have much money, because I spend it on audio stuff that I know I don't need. So I guess you could say that I am helplessly addicted, thank goodness it isn't drugs or smoking I am addicted to.

I am an audio scavanger, so the stuff I find may be outdated or banged up, but I always strive to get the best bargain possible. You may see me nose around in a Hi-Fi store asking them a bunch of questions, and possibly making a fool out of a stupid deceitful salesman.

I have moved my system to my living room as it used to be in my bedroom.

Components:
Television- JVC I'Art 27" Flat tube with cool 16:9 compression mode for DVDs
DVD Player- Toshiba SD-9000 non-progressive, but a tank with true black levels.
CD Player- Magnavox CDB-650 Swing arm transport, Coaxial SPDIF out, needs mods to overide oversampling.
Receiver- Yamaha HTR-5890 7.1 THX Select.
Speakers- Four NHT 1.5 bookself speakers for front left and right, center, and rear surround, Infinity IL 10's for left and right surrounds.
Assorted interconnects from Acoustic Research, Audio Quest, Magnavox, Monster, RadioShack, Labtec (out of business, I believe it was a division of Recoton before it was bought out by Audiovox), Straightwire, and some Mickey Mouse "came in the box" junk cables.

I like your A/V equipment rack

Doesn't the light from the windows make your TV look darker than it should? Have u considered moving everything to the left/right wall? Nice system overall!

Longwall won't work, I watch most of my movies when the sun is down anyway.

I will be posting more pics shortly.

That was what it said on the box, that is watt it should be. By the way what does P.M.P.O mean?

What on God's green earth does that mean. I find translating your posts rather difficult.

I personally thought it sucked, but I am way past that now.
