Really Boring Stuff Only II: Return of the Boredom

[Adam]

I'm goi ng a little buggy over here thinking about the AH Deal of the Week.

Just make sure that the 665 has the connections that you want. Without assignable inputs, that's the biggest limitation of that receiver, IMO.

I know that I don't want that rec'r based on al the flak it got in the thread following Tom 'First Impressions' article. I'm not clear what that assignable inputs bees wax is about. I want either what you have or what Greg has based on you guys having it and having done all the leg work.

... but if I wait 8 more years ...

 

[Adam]

I'm not clear what that assignable inputs bees wax is about.

It's about flexibility to some extent, but with that receiver, it would be a necessity for me to ever recommend it.

Here's one example of why: If you have a source with component video and two-channel analog audio (such as a Playstation 2) that you want to decode (e.g. for Pro-Logic), you're boned if you want to run both through the 665. The only video connection that can be coupled with a two-channel audio input (that is processed) is a composite video connection.

It's been something like three and half hours, and my deal thread isn't up. Maybe it didn't make the cut.

I thought that this was quite cool. Where do you think the following picture was taken?



It's Mars! It had me fooled. Sure looks like a coastline with water, doesn't it? Click the picture for the original link and explanation.

I'm working today.

 

[Adam]

I'm working today.

Clearly.

 

[MidnightSensi]

Clearly.

Haha, inbetween surfing the 'net that is. Not hourly, so, it doesn't help to procrastinate. Sometimes I disconnect my network cable if I really have to get a lot of stuff done.

Darn it. I thought of a pretty good post for the "Guidelines..." thread, but it appears to be gone now.

Snooze, ya' lose.

 

[Adam]

Snooze, ya' lose.

You were supposed to close it, not delete it.

I'd call you a hot b***h, but I just don't have a set of balls like Alex. Well, that and I'm not as courageous as him.

Oh man, I had rep points there!

 

[Adam]

Oh man, I had rep points there!

Yeah, I had three points from you, too. Gone. All GONE!

BTW, repped points won't go away, just thanks.

 

[Alex2507]

Oh that's a relief because I'm closing in on like 30k and really need it for my self esteem.
Without that validation I would be ... what? ... clueless and unpopular?

I would take 10 cents on the point to put toward upgrades.

It's hilarious that a thread about creating a guideline for the mods gets deleted by the mods.

Yeah, probably thanks to you.

But, you sold Jerry some speakers, so he shouldn't be too mad at ya.

... thinking about trading in all of your tomorrows for just one yesterday?

... relax RJ, we're not giving you up.

I'm goi ng a little buggy over here thinking about the AH Deal of the Week.

It would take care of my HDMI, has pre-outs and of course the Oppo ...
A free life time techno slave to irritate the piss out of ...
I just don't want to part with any of the money that I just screwed Matt, Chris and Jerry out of ...

The amp section of the 665 is questionable.
But considering it's only $300 (over the cost of the Oppo)............maybe JL is looking for a deal.

Sorry. sorry. just sayin'

 

[majorloser]

So Alex, I guess your rep points will now be approaching 30 instead of 30,000

I was wondering where you were at. Dang, brother - you've been raking it in!
