I got the impression from some of God's comments that he talks to a number of mortals from time to time. Also, in the pilot, God reveals Joan prayed for her brother to survive. Said she would behave, do well in school, etc. I figured she got God's attention.

I just got my Comcast HDTV STB last Friday in the Richmond, Va area. I get ESPNHD, INHD1, INHD2, HBOHD, SHOHD, ABCHD, & NBCHD. No Fox, CBS or PBS at this time.:thumbsdown: Since I already had Comcast Digital Cable, there was no monthly or installation charge. Extra STB are $5 per month each...

If you will settle for a 5 channel amp, you might consider a Marantz MM9000 at http://www.ac4l.com 5x150w for $700 delivered. Marantz has discontinued the MM9000 - these are new amps with a 3 year warrenty. I bought one to go with my Yamaha RX-V630 driving various Paradigm speakers. I just got...

Having read these boards for a while, the general consensus is buying used or refurbished receivers/amps is pretty safe. However, folks are really talking about used higher end stuff. I suspect it is a little more risky for lower end stuff. Personnaly, in your situation, I would go for a...

Two Outlaw M-200 (200w@8ohm) monoblocks go for $575. Outlaw even has a free shipping promotional offer. Any comments on 2 M-200 versus a comparable Parasound or Rotel, which cost considerably more. For example, a HCA-1500A retails for $995. I would drive Paradigm Monitor 7's for music.

You can also start watching the "Hardware for Sale" forum here and www.audiogon.com for used equipment. Used is definately a good way to get the best possible equipment for the money invested.

Another option I have been considering is saving longer and buying a used 1205. THe $210 PA-2000 was tempting though...

Thanks for the response. I passed on the deal because I wasn't confident about the quality of the PA-2000. I was hoping for some opinions from this post, but unfortunately didn't get any before the deal expired. I must say I am surprised - I thought I would get some pro parasound posts. :D

I currently have a Yamaha RX-V630 and Paradigm Monitor 7's for mains. I was thinking abour upgrading with a 2 channel amp for music. Have been thinking about a Parasound HCA-750a or HCA-1000a. Saw the deal at Onecall for a HK PA-2000 for $210. How would the PA-2000 compare to a HCA-750a in my...

There are windows on the left side of the room my HT is in and once every few months a military helicopter will fly near our house. My son and I were watching the Seth episode of Stargate SG-1 season 3 on DVD. In the episode, there is a military helicopter that flys by off screen from left to...

Thanks for the info. I was thinking about getting Jukebox anyway.

I have a RP-62. When playing a CD I burned with MP3s, some play fine and some "skip" or "hiccup". The MP3's play fine on other MP3 players (Computer, SonicBlue). I called Panasonic support and they said they have never heard of this problem and suggested taking it to a local authorized repair...
