    Two new Borders Coupons

    Does Border's carry I-pods in stores too, or only online? This could be my best chance to get a discount on an I-pod.

    Best Buy Renews My Reward Zone Membership for Free!

    I just looked online and saw I was automaticcaly renewed. I've received nearly $200 in coupons, so it may have been worth it to renew. But I'm glad I didn't have too. That makes three straight years without paying. I lost my card (which they won't replace) but I did get the new best buy...

    Did my CD player kill my receiver?

    Roy, Are you trying to run the main and second rooms at the same time? Well I don't know if your Denon is anything like my old JVC with dual zones (I have an H/K 525 now), but if it is, then you can't have the main room set to any kind of DD/DTS modes and play a source in the 2nd room. Also...

    Did my CD player kill my receiver?

    Have you tried plugging the audio into the VDP (as you did before) and simply connecting to video directly to your tv? It sounds like youre using analog cables? Have you tried a digital cables? If so, same result?

    I picked up a pair of monster angle post connectors, how can I get the wire to stay in the connectors (monster speaker cable)?

    Do you have to get a new box, or can you use the same hd box? I'm in Forest Park so I'm assuming we'll have the same options?

    New Harman Kardon

    Maybe I'm mistaken, but I dont think BB sells HK. I know CC does though (probably what you meant). I have the 525 and I'm using polk rti's (last years models)

    hooking up SACD/DVD-A

    Well I finally picked up a DVD-A disc today, Santana - Shaman. Maybe its just the media that I've tried so far, but the SACD's our winning me over as of date. But I'm looking forward to checking out a lot more before I make any decisions. I also took the 100's back today. I'm most likely...

    hooking up SACD/DVD-A

    Mark, I most likely won't even connect the video cables to my set, as I don't really want to shell ouut the extra cash for another set of components. However, I am pretty impressed so far. I only have two SACD's to date (norah jones, and dark side of the moon), but I am on my way to the mall to...

    hooking up SACD/DVD-A

    I forgot to add that I am only using this as a cd player. I have the samsung 931 for my dvd, and I'm running that off a dvi. Would I still need a optical/coax cable for the pioneer if I'm using it strictly for audio?

    hooking up SACD/DVD-A

    I picked up the pioneer 563A last night. I'm getting set to hook everything up tonight. I was in such a hurry to get out of best buy, that I dindt really pay much attention to the cables I picked up until I made it home. I purchased three sets of the monster interlink 100 level cables. I'm...

    Speaker Cables

    Do you guys think there is much of a difference with the level of cables that Monster offers. I just bought a couple spools of speaker wire, and some interconnects yesterday, and I'm wondering if maybe I should upgrade to the next level of products they offer. The price isn't much of a...

    Christmas returns at out of state chain stores

    How can they tell if its from out of state, excusing any information on the receipt. Are the product numbers different? I picked up a couple of gifts from Best Buy, while traveling for work. I know one of the CD's will have to go back, as the person already has it. I'm not really sure where...

    Best Buy's New Rewards Program...thoughts?

    Got $15 (a $5 and a $10) in the mail last week. I just joined in October and I already got two certs. So I guess they are getting a little better.

    How do i get DTS to work?

    I think what Jon means is the menu for the actual movie, not your player. Every DTS disc that I played has required me to set that up each time. Look for an audio option or something of that sort, on the DVD menu. And set the audio to DTS. Hope that helps.

    Speaker recommendation....I am looking at the Polk CSi40, RTi70 and FXi50

    I drove an hour to pick up the 100's after purchasing them from my local store. When I get there to pick them up, the clerk is taking a long time to pull them out. I decide to llok around in the meantime, Then low and behold, the 150's at $249. Seems like the last pair in Chicago. Best of...

    A newbie is almost ready to buy...

    Randy, I agree with Jerry that the CSi30 might be a better match for the 38's than the 40, and save you a couple of dollars in the meantime. I picked up the 30 to go with my 150's and I think I'm going to take it back and pich up the 40 to match. As far as the H/K 525. I got mine from...

    Speaker recommendation....I am looking at the Polk CSi40, RTi70 and FXi50

    Chris, The RTi's are all on sale, because the new models are scheduled to come out with in the next couple of months. I'm pretty happy with this years model, but I may trade up when the new models are released.

    Polk Rti 150

    Just picked up the 150's today for 249 each. I think that was the only circuit city in chicago that still had any.

    Speaker recommendation....I am looking at the Polk CSi40, RTi70 and FXi50

    I purchased the 100's last week for 189 each from circuit city. But I had to pick them up from a different store, because my local was out of stock. So I finally got around to picking them up today. When I arrive at the other store, to my surprise, they have the 150's in stock. So for another 60...

    Ryan, I look forward to playing a lag free game if we're on again. I think most of those turnovers were a result of the lag.

    Speaker recommendation....I am looking at the Polk CSi40, RTi70 and FXi50

    Just in case you were looking at the bigger fronts, the circuit city's near me have the RTI100's on clearance for 199 each.

    just got myself a Paradigm system...(suggestions wanted)

    I'm looking to get a pretty similar setup. Monitor 7's, CC370, mini's. Anyone know where I can get a good deal on these in the Chicago area?

    B&W or Paradigm speaker systerm? Help me out please?

    I too have fallen in love with the paradigm brand. I heard a set about two weeks ago, and I can't find anything comparable. I'm pretty new to HT, and my budget is limited. But for the price I paid (under 600 w/shipping), I think the H/K 525 was a pretty good deal. Even with my terribly old...
