Title is self-explanatory... http://money.cnn.com/2009/04/30/smallbusiness/how_monster_cable_got_started.fsb/index.htm

I think the answer is no, but I thought I would ask the learned membership here and see if anyone had a definitive answer. I am considering a new pre/pro (now using a 3806 as a pre/pro, but I read about the Emotivas and fell in lust) but would like to preserve the digital link for the HD audio...

Anyone out there that is using this player with a non-Denon receiver or pre/pro with the firewire connection for audio (especially DVD-A and SACD)? I'm not unhappy with the Denon combo, but I am getting the audiophile upgrade itch and would like to consider other pre/pros or receivers that can...

I currently have a Dynaudio 7.1 system, with Audience 72 mains, a 120C center, 52s for the sides and 42s for the rears. I am contemplating adding a set of dipole speakers to the sides and switch back and forth between those and the direct radiating 52s depending on the source material (ie...

The engineer in me tells me that I should have a backup PJ lamp for my Panny PT-AE900U "just in case" and for the eventual replacement need. However, since the lamps are $300 plus, I am wondering if I should just stick the money in the savings account and replace the PJ with a 1080p model when...

I for one would be interested in opinions on great values in audio and video equipment-it's easy to throw money at a problem (if you have it, that is), but it is much harder to find good price-to-performance values in the a/v market with all the quasi-scientific "data" that clouds the truth...

One of my Denon 3806 receivers now has non-functional speaker leads for the surround and rear channels. The preouts work fine when I use an outboard amp, but I don't get any response from the rear or side channel speaker connectors when I try to use them. I also no longer hear the relay click...

Anyone here have experience with Horizon multi-conductor speaker snakes? I have been looking without success for some time for a 6 conductor, 12 gaugeg speaker cable for my main and center channel speakers. Horizon appears to be a pro audio products company. Among other things, they make a...

Due to layout constraints (the center of my pull-down projector screen is in front of a door to my garage), I plan to mount my center channel above the projection screen, which will put it about 7 feet off the ground. I evaluated the possibility of a floor stand, but I will have to move it out...

Anyone else here with a 3806 have problems with their Zone 2 function when using the internal amps? I seem to have an intermittent issue, where the Zone 2 sound will function one day but not the next. I have fiddled with the Zone 2 settings, including disabling then reenabling the surround rear...

I suspect that I am not the only former musician on this forum, since I have seen threads from a lot of current musicians here as well. If you have had any prior experience as a musician, professional or otherwise, please share the highlights of your experience here. I'll start with my own...

I just bought a Sharp Aquos LC40-C32U 32" LCD HDTV at my local Costco in Torrance, CA for $999.99 plus tax ($1199.99 less a $200 instant coupon). This is apparently identical to the Sharp LC32D40U 32" LCD HDTV, but with a Costco-specific model number. I have not seen the retail version (the...

I'm considering building a sub cabinet that would pull double duty as a center channel speaker stand. My assumption is that, if the sub is crossed over at a low enough frequency, it won't matter that it is not located next to the left and right main speakers. Thoughts? Comments?

I have a brand new in box Da-Lite Model B manual pull down screen (PN 93165) with the following specs: 92" diagonal, 16x9 aspect ratio High Contrast Matte White screen material More info may be found here: http://www.da-lite.com/products/product.php?cID=9&pID=229 This screen is still sealed...

Does anyone know if Denon receivers (I have the AVR-3806, FWIW) that have a HDMI "repeater" capability amplify the signal or simply resend the output as a unity gain device (ie, same signal power out as that received from the input source)?

Does anyone here have any experience with this product? http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=2225 I am trying to decide how to connect my Panny AE900u to my Denon DVD-3910 with 50 feet of cable distance between them, and this looks promising. It seems to be cheaper and a bit more...

I just picked up the Band of Brothers set (came in a metal tin) for $50 at Costco last week. I have seen every episode multiple times, but I never seem to get tired of watching them (same with Private Ryan).

I am currently dealing with a cable length issue in my HT setup using a Panny PT-AE900u, a Denon 3806 Rx and a 3910 DVD player (with DL3 enabled). I have approximately 50 "cable feet" between the projector location and the main electronics cabinet. I have tried a 50 foot HDMI cable with no...

Listing deleted-I will be listing individual items on Audiogon and/or eBay

I would like to find a remote that I can dedicate to Zone 2 use with my Ddenon 3806 receiver. I also need to control the Zone 2 functions out of sight of the receiver IR sensor, which means I need an RF remote or an IR remote with an IR repeater. Denon makes an IR repeater for the 3806 (and...
