    Did i setup my fronts and surrounds backwards?

    The speakers I'm using are used and older. The are Cambridge soundworks. 3 of them are 6 ohm book shelf speakers and 2 of them are 8 ohm with a bipole/dipole toggle switch on them. I just assumed the 8ohm ones are better so they should go in front? I tried to research but I still don't get the...

    What settings to change when your subwoofer dies?

    So I'm just kind of messing around with some spare audio equipment I have in my bedroom. I'm using a Denon AVR-1312 and the 5 speakers from Panasonic SC-PT660, no sub. I don't expect it to sound amazing, just better than the TV speakers. I have a cambridge soundworks P200 sub that I think might...

    Please help. I want to enjoy music again.

    No, its really just for music. My roommate owns the definitive speakers but I get plenty of time with them too. There's two sections of the basement: a small finished area that has the definitive speakers, a 65 inch sony XBR-65X850D and a Yamaha RX-A660 and the unfinished side that has basement...

    Please help. I want to enjoy music again.

    The receiver is a Sony STR-DG720. The speakers came from a Panasonic sa pt660 system but the DVD player and sub are no more. I've listened to music on the definitive speakers but haven't tried a CD yet. The Diskman just has a headphone jack... Even after some googleing, I am ashamed to admit...

    Please help. I want to enjoy music again.

    Wow so many responses! Thanks! So today I went out a bought some CD's at a used CD store and listened to a couple in the car and it was by far the best listening experience I've had in a long time. Then I went to target and bought THE Discman that they had and when I got it home and tried it...

    Please help. I want to enjoy music again.

    Well, Ive finally realized that music sucks.... I mean the way I've been listening to it does. I'm 30 years old and years ago I threw out my CD collection because it was a mess of scratched and poorly burned CDs and everything is either on my itunes or online anyway right? But now I realize that...

    Little advice on Yamaha reciever settings?

    So my buddy just got a Sony X850D, a 5.1 package of Definitive ProCinema 600 speakers (4 bookshelf speakers, a center and a sub), and a Yamaha RX-A660 receiver and he asked me to help him set it up. I have set up receivers before, but usually when you first turn it on it prompts you for an...

    They don't output audio like they used to?

    I definitely don't. I took the job because I am interested in these sorts of things not an expert in them. And just to clarify, I am not a sales person in the store. I'm just a helper for GeekSquad Home Theater installs. Yeah could be. They kind of look like that. I dont remember if they had a...

    Haha, yup, here is Massachusetts just about every grocery store has a lobster tank. Disgusting little sea-bug creatures.

    They don't output audio like they used to?

    Thank you for verifying my theory. Maybe I'll hunt down a bunch of old equipment and do a disciple test on them a report my findings. I just think its odd there isn't more information of this out there... Maybe, the companies that make music playing things do it deliberately to save money and to...

    They don't output audio like they used to?

    My hears don't ring. I am really bothered by white noise like the motor or whatever it is from the refrigerator, the high pitch squeal of an old CRT TV (I got one for retro gaming but I couldn't stand the noise) or if its hot and I have to use fans and AC, or and my old job at the deli/seafood...

    They don't output audio like they used to?

    Okay, so we are all saying that that the output from a diskman from 15 years ago should be the say as from a macbook or phone today?

    They don't output audio like they used to?

    I've just noticed latley that everything I listen to music on doesn't crank quite as loud as I want it to. I'm 29 and I remember in high school I would always listen to music on my disc-man or whatever, with cheap CVS headphones and if I accidentally turned the volume up all the way it would...
