    AH, this car comes with a ---- system!

    <font color='#000000'>Did you buy a 350ZX, or an Infinity? I had a Maxima with a Blows system. It sounded pretty good for a factory system but replacing it would have been a bear. It CAN be done however. They have some funky setup of 1 ohm speakers with attached amps for each one &amp; the amps...

    Sun-fired

    <font color='#000000'>Profit margins are cool. If you're a dealer. As far as audio equipment, I'm a consumer, so I need to get the most for my money. Would I demo a product that reviewed this poorly? Absolutely. Would I pay list price? Never. I picked up a Yamaha 3300 for almost a $1000 off...

    Led Zeppelin & Rush

    <font color='#000000'>I didn't make it through the whole video but it has a cut of &quot;Over now&quot; from &quot;MTV unplugged&quot;. It has about 100 mins. of their best hits. It doesn't have &quot;Don't Follow&quot; which is a wonderful acoustic song but the rest of the tracks sound great...

    Led Zeppelin & Rush

    <font color='#000000'>Looking forward to hearing Zebras new stuff. Can't seem to find their original CD anywhere in stores.May order it online.Just picked up the Zep &quot;How the west was won&quot; &amp; it's pretty good but I prefer &quot;The song remains the same&quot;. Also just picked up...

    New Carver amps

    <font color='#000000'>Thanks Rip. &nbsp;I checked on the Carver site &amp; they are not among any of the amps listed. In fact, no one in their forums was discussing them either. &nbsp; Another benefit of these amps is that they are supposed to use 60% less power, according to salesman. He...

    I need your recommendations..please.

    <font color='#000000'>If you've already decided on the M22's why buy separate amps? Just get a good receiver (any of the ones discussed in this forum) for $1200 or so &amp; call it good. If that doesn't do it for you, you can add amps later. From what I've read here the M22's will be just fine...

    Speaking of audio snobs

    <font color='#000000'>I had a similar experience with an Armani &amp; Rolex-wearing Lexus salesman once. But we're not talking about cars. &nbsp;I went to check out the Pioneer 563a @ Bestbuy &amp; I was fortunate enough to talk to the only guy there that knew anything about audio. He suggested...

    New Carver amps

    <font color='#000000'>Stopped at a local non-chain stereo store today &amp; found they had the Carver ZR series amps with a new power supply design. The salesman described it as a constant-flowing power supply &amp; it had no noticeable transformer in it plus very small caps. The model he demo'd...

    Infinity Entra Speakers

    <font color='#000000'>I would agree on the Fortes. I had a pair that are about 10-15 yrs old now &amp; they are very smooth. I had been driving them with an older Pioneer receiver &amp; up to about 1/2 volume they were sweet. Started screaming after that, but I'd have liked to have heard them...

    How Helpful Is Audioholics?

    <font color='#000000'>I have found this site to be a great deal of help as well as an educating experience. I find the reviews to be unbiased & objective. In fact, some of the technical data supplied in a few of the reviews has gotten me to delve into some of my old electronics books for...

    funny problem

    <font color='#000000'>I've read this a number of times trying to figure out the problem &amp; all I can figure is what you're calling a VCD is actually a DVD-A. If that is the case you will only get a signal from the analog outputs of the DVD player. The DVD player will convert the audio from...

    Yamaha RX-V2400 audiophile review

    <font color='#000000'>I went back &amp; looked again(Magnolia HiFi). They only carry Pioneer Elite, whether it's a receiver, DVD,etc. They had the Denon 2200 for $499. There is a Circuit City in the area, but I guess my next question would be: How much happier will I be with the Denon compared...

    Yamaha RX-V2400 audiophile review

    <font color='#000000'>Just curious. Are you getting these prices for the DVD-A players online? My local hifi dealer has some models but they are all between $400-$500. I'd love to step up to DVDA/SACD but don't want to shell out that much right now as I'm sure that, like everything else, the...

    Novice Needs Help with Creating System

    <font color='#000000'>Don't know what you paid for the deftechs, but for your 1st HT system it's probably not a bad start. A $500 HTIB would be a waste of money. Some $1000 HTIB aren't too bad &amp; will give you a frame of reference for future, although for music I find them subpar. A friend...

    Klipsch SC-1 vs. RC-25

    <font color='#000000'>I think the the SB-2's would be OK with the 1804 as you will most likely not overdrive them. The 90 watt vs 85 watt ratings are peak ratings &amp; the receiver is not going to constantly be pushing that amount of power thru your speakers unless you listen to it at max...

    Yamaha RXV2400/Paradigm/Denon DVD-2200 Frustration

    <font color='#000000'>It would be interesting to know if anyone has had this problem with other brands of receivers such as Denon, Onkyo,etc. I recently bought a Yamaha RX-V3300 that has a problem with the L surnd chan not coming on when powering up the unit. I have to turn it off, then back on...

    <font color='#000000'>I don't know what an &quot;i.link&quot; is. I have a mitsub. dvd/cd player hooked to my Yamaha receiver &amp; it works great with the F.O. cable. If an &quot;i.link&quot; is something for video only it wouldn't apply to my setup as my video sources are directed straight to...

    Why Video Signal Through Receiver or PrePro?

    <font color='#000000'>The only &quot;advantages&quot; would be possible ease of switching between viewing equipment &amp; being able to terminate multiple component video cables in the event that your tv only has 1 component video input. If the tv has several inputs it's recommended to plug your...
