    Adding an amp to Marantz SR8400. How and Why?

    I concur with Zumbo & others. Any quality 2/5 ch amp will have a better power supply than your receiver & will allow you greater flexibility in upgrading your speakers in the future.

    Tips for HD via satellite?

    Thanks BMX...........................I installed my 1st DTV dish & receiver 5 years ago.......& learned a lot in the process. Have found that most problems can be resolved by just reseating the card or unplugging the unit for a minute. Other than about 10-15 minutes worth of weather...

    Tips for HD via satellite?

    I'm looking to enter into HD service now that I have a HDTV but have a couple questions. My initial plan is to stay with Directv & buy/install the equipment myself. I've installed 3 SD Directv systems already so I'm not a novice in that regard, but I'm not sure how Directv is going to try to...

    Marantz DV-9500 DVD Player Review

    Well, two things about that Gene................................didn't the review on the 2910 say that it's internal parts & build quality were exceptional? And if the Marantz is indeed "in a different class" & is 3X more expensive, then shouldn't it be superior to the cheaper Denon unit...

    Marantz DV-9500 DVD Player Review

    Based on this review, it's a no-brainer.........................................the Denon 2910 grades out similarly for about 1/3 of the price.

    R&R ninja....................not sure why you would lump Rolex into the same conversation with Blows. It's essentially a nice piece of jewelry that keeps time superbly..............unless perhaps you bought a "white van" version.

    Vote: The Banning of MULE

    Naaaaah.................although some of his posts are annoying I don't see where he's committed any bannable(?) offenses. But dude, please, if you're going to bring something to the table, try to get it there w/o stopping at the bathroom twice on the way...........

    Samsung DVD HD841 problems

    You say you've changed the receiver out 4X............with the same model? Or did you try any diff models (Yamaha,Denon)? I'm taking a stab in the dark but it almost sounds like a synchronization problem between the 2 units. No pop in analog because the signal is already converted by the...

    Decision made...............but calibrate now or later?

    Thanks Red.......................sounds like a logical approach. Should also get me acquainted with the Avia disc since I've never used it before.

    Decision made...............but calibrate now or later?

    After months of deliberation I've decided on a HDTV..............................the Mitsubishi 55315. I had my mind set on a Samsung HLP-5663 but, after weighing the costs along with all the pros & cons, I decided to go "primitive" & get this RPCRT. I'll be getting a new (not demo) set $1399 vs...

    Rear Projection CRT vs LCD, DLP - Image Detail

    I'm on the verge of buying a Samsung HLP-5663 DLP for just under $3K after tax..........+ $400 for a 4year warr. However, the same place has a Mitsu. 48513 HD RPCRT for about $1850 after tax. It is a demo (I believe it's the only one) but I find it attractive because of the price. I've read all...

    better quality floor speaker.? how is axiom

    I've had the M60's for over a year now & am still very happy with them. After sampling other towers in the $1000 & under range (Boston,Def Tech,Klipsch,JBL,etc.) I tried these out & kept them. I would have loved some Paradigm Studio 100's but they were 3X as much, & the Studio 60's were...

    Newbie needing help

    I concur with others.................get out there & LISTEN! From top to bottom, check out everything you can. Even stuff that may be way out of your price range. Stick a couple of your fav CD's in your car so you always have them with you. This is so you always have a point of reference when...

    Axiom M80's vs Paradigm 90P's

    As an owner of Axiom M60's I can tell you that driving the 80's with just a receiver MAY not let them sound their best. I started out with just my Yammy hooked to them & was wondering where all the bass that I had been reading about was. Once I pumped some more juice into them the sound evened...

    paradigm great speakers?

    RLA.............there aren't too many renowned hifi outlets around Seattle so I sent RBH an email requesting info on where I can hear them. I've read the reviews & would very much like to demo them.
