The Pannny 55 does great on my children's system with Polk 5.1 setup and biamped fronts, but nothing to brag about. IMHO digital amps are very nice, they are very compact and give a decent sound, but when i want to enjoy uncompressed audio i still prefer my Sherbourn 5 channel monoblock and...

Don't forget the Onkyo Professional PR-SC885P twin with a twist, it also has Pure Audio, and a much cleaner faceplate, can be haggled down to sub-Yamaha prices: http://www.onkyopro.com/model.cfm?m=...eamplifier&p=i

Here's what i did. Went online www.pioneerlectronics.com and searched my zip code. No dealers it said. Then found the zip code for the nearest megalopolis (Akron) and printed the dealer list. Called them all up, teased and baited until the best deal came through. Do not make the mistake...

This is the much talked about and modded player in original condition. Was purchased to get introduced to SACD but soon in storage after i got my Philips. Rarely used in mint condition. No scratches, has remote and manual. SORRY cannot find original box anywhere but will package very...

I have it. Love some of the songs. Beautifully recorded sounding through a Sony SCD, Denon used as a passthrough (AL-24 circuitry on the AVR-3800) preamp, and Sherbourn amp with VTF-3 subwoofer and top of line Para Reference speakers. I would say well worth the $14 i paid for it a...

NONE! I just returned a SIR-T351 after problems with audio dropout and no QAM decoding. The section in the manual about QAM is whited out and tech support says that the BIOS is set up so you can't get QAM ie cable signals. The liers still post QAM as available on the Samsung site. There is a...

Here is my simple $50 fix: Go to the Rat Shack and buy this miniature DVD Player Cyberhome CHD-300 if i remember. My oh mine! This thing is zone free, plays anything you throw at it, even JPG files off Kodak picture CDs. Does MP3 file directory display too. Here is the link...

I would recommend the HSU Research VTF-3 subwoofer highly. Very musical and accurate. I listen to a lot of classical. Currently on auction for around $600 at www.audiogon.com. Check out www.hsuresearch.com. Service is exemplary. Rave ratings. For an amp i am biased by the Sherbourn 5/1500A a...

I use the AVR-3803 as a preamp for center/fronts biwired through a Sherbourn 5/1500A amp. and use its own amp to fire up the rest of my 7.1 surround. This way i get super stereo quality for classical music and enjoyable HT experience sharing the power of both units. GET THIS UNIT and never...

OH, he/she'll pay their own way through medical school :))

HAHA Rob The baby is kicking vigorously at the rhythm of SuperSpeedway Mach II Edition through my PR Studio 100v2 based system. Every time we listen at Dolby reference levels, the little critter is kicking :))) Another audiophile, without a doubt. Thx. Rob

Thx. for reply Michael. That is what i did, looked at the SVS-es and the only option would be the PB2, more expensive of course. I looked at SVS, HSU, Rocket, and Paradigm and just could not find a deal to beat this. I based my decision also on the reliability of the Rava, a Shiva 12"...

Oops, correction, no screaming, just incessant bickering, not to worry happy couple, baby comin in August :)

Hi: I ordered my Adire Daeva after intensive research, with wife screaming "what about the new baby?" in my ear. No specs out yet, just the friendly Adire fellow on the phone t answer my questions. It has a 15" Tempest driver: http://www.adireaudio.com/diy_audio/...re/tempest.htm...
