    DLP Improvement?

    All I can say is......................thank you very much fellas. HDTV is going to be my next step in HT. I considered buying a Samsung 56" DLP on close-out but was worried what I would be forfeiting in the way of future expandability. I've been reading this forum for about 4 hours today & feel...

    TV Over Broadband (IPTV) Revenue to Top $17B by 2010

    As Verizon/SBC advances on its FTTP program they'll have the ultimate one-stop shop. It will,however, take years of running FO's & even then I'm sure they'll not cover every inch of their territory. So, unless you live in a metro area, it will be a while before you'll have it available along...

    A question for EE's & amp experts..........

    I don't think I have enough play in the receiver settings to get a match but the other amps have level controls. I'd ultimately just like to get another 2-ch B&K & dump the cheapees..........

    eBay Buying Suggestions

    Is it common for Paypal mistakes to happen? I went to the "Pay Now" button in the listing to send the payment, just as I had for my other transaction, so how could I have sent the payment to the wrong acct.? I figured if there was a problem it was on the sellers' end since they posted the...

    Receiver Has No Juevos

    I agree with a couple points..............Sonys are kind of weak although the ES models I would grade as "OK"................& it can be hard to get used to watching movies in 5.1 as,for much of the movie, you're only getting sound & dialogue from the center speaker. I had to adjust the center...

    A question for EE's & amp experts..........

    It appears as though a couple of you were correct..................it appears to be an input impedence issue. I reconnected my mains to the B&K & shut eveything else off again & just played some more with it..............it's fine. In fact it sounds pretty good. There is about a 20 point...

    eBay Buying Suggestions

    Rather than start another thread, I thought I would get your opinions here............ I've had all of 2 ebay transactions(both purchases) & both were amps. The 1st one went w/o a hitch. I paid (paypal) within an hour of the auction ending & had contact within 12 hours after...

    A question for EE's & amp experts..........

    Thanks for the idea...............sounds like fun. I'd love a chance to hear a bunch of different amps. Magnolia is the closest local that boasts separates but they only carry a limited # of amps(B&K, Krell Showcase). There is a Definitive Audio outlet in Seattle that carries Rotel & Marantz...

    A question for EE's & amp experts..........

    Thanks jaxvon............... This thing is probably a decade out of warranty, but perhaps if I can find someplace to bench test it & there is a problem, I'll give them a call & see what they can do...........

    A question for EE's & amp experts..........

    Thanks for the response Rob.............yeah, can't seem to get around the fact that good,clean power cost money. I've been searching ebay for months & sure enough, everyone else wants what I want :( . I'll keep this thing & chalk it up to experience. Not going to blame the unit, it's just a...

    The Sound Quality of the B&K 507

    I have a friend who just got a 507 about 6 months ago & has it driving an Axiom setup of M50's,QS4's,an EP-175 sub,& I'm not sure which center. I'm impressed with it. I've heard it in listening rooms as well & it's as good a sounding receiver as I've heard, although I've not heard the ZX-9 or...

    A question for EE's & amp experts..........

    Getting back to the reason for my thread, I'm not getting out of the B&K amp what I had expected or hoped for................I've got two old Optimus amps that I have in mono right now (FL & FR speakers). Upon hooking them up there was immediately an improvement in the overall response from the...

    A question for EE's & amp experts..........

    dohanc....................It has big heat sinks on the back of the unit & they get pretty warm at even low volume. Unfortunately, I bought this unit off ebay & the manual wasn't included. It has has balanced inputs on the back(along with the rca plugs which is what i'm using) & a button which...

    A question for EE's & amp experts..........

    It's more the latter case in that this amp just does not produce volume or punch like I believe 200wpc should............yes , it's a seperate with no control knobs.....just plug & play. The Yamaha 3300 is rated at 130wpc. We can figure that it's probably at least a little overstated. I have...

    Reciever info needed!

    I'll throw my $.02 in..................for $450 or less you aren't going to find any receivers that have "great" power............100wpc or so. I've never owned a Denon(only Yamaha) but I hear that they have a higher current power supply which may attribute to their warmer...
