I have a Marantz SR-7400 in pristine condition that I'm currently offering on AVSforum.com for $450 shipped. It's a helluva receiver, and has seen very light use in my brother's system. It's about a year and a half old and comes with original remote, box, and manual. He is going through a nasty...
I just picked up some Senn HD595s and love them. They're a little pricey though. I have heard very good things about Senn 280 PROs,and they can usually be found for less than $100. Stay away from the low-priced Sonys.
Hey, guys, I bought these for an install I did for my dad's friend, and the connectors were too long, so his components would not fit back far enough in the stand he bought (don't get me started on this!). Somehow, I ended up with these after buying having to buy some (gulp) Monster cables (due...
Yeah, I think bluejeans represents a pretty good value on the market, if you're not into making your own cables. It may not make sense for somebody to invest in the tools (even the cheap ones) when all they really need is one specialized cable (35 ft.). Bluejeans makes some good stuff that is...
I have some L5s in a complete NHT Evolution setup (T5s main, M5 center) in my main system. Sounds phenomenal. I initially had some NHT 8.3s (predecessor to ic4), and they sounded alright, but the back of my room is open to the rest of the basement, and I lost a lot of sound back there. I...
Hey, if your dad doesn't have a thing against in-ear headphones, then Shure and Etymotic are worth checking out. Don't get me wrong, I'll take a sweet sounding pair of Senns any day of the week, but if he wants something portable that sounds good, these are the way to go.
Nice review! I'm somewhat in the same boat of looking for an integrated amp to use as a headphone amp AND to hook multiple sources up to at work. I'll be using a Marantz tuner and a 25 disc Elite CD changer. Little out of my price range, as this is just for a desk system (driving some Shure...
Couldn't agreem more! Don't even waste yor time with the 815. It's right there with the entry level Sony's, Yamahas, and everything else you see at a couple hundred dollars. The 1015 shares a lot more with the Elite line than anything.
I have one hooked up in my 2nd system with a NHT in-wall/in-ceiling setup. Being everything else is in-wall/in-ceiling this little sub does an excellent job of rounding out the bottom end. Really has some a$$ behind it when watching movies and surround sound music (Crystal Method - Legion of...
I have a Denon DRA-325R in good condition, no real dents scratches or marks. Doesn't have original remote, manual or box. Looking for $65, shipping included.
It's probably about a wash between the DACs in the H/K and in the Onkyo. The H/K may sound a little better through RCA cables using it's DACs. There's only one way to find out though, and that's to do an A/B comparison.
Yeah, I have no problems whatsoever moving furniture and rattling walls with my T5s. You basically have 2 12" enclosed subs being driven by an outboard crossover and amp. See if you can test drive the Depth Charged scene from U571, and you will be astonished at the underwater blasts as they...
I just utilized the digital camera coupon last week. I bought a Sony DSC-W1 last Tuesday and they honored the coupon no problem even though it was Tuesday and it was a sale price on the camera. I was dealing with the manager for that area though and buying some other stuff as well. The 12 month...
You most certainly can do that, Kurt. It will sound pretty good as well. I have the ST4s bigger brother, T5s, and I kind of like "all of the sound" coming from the same location(s). I think it's definitely worth a shot seeing as you should be able to pick up a 2 ch amp for considerably less than...
Another one for your list to check out are NHT Outdoor Ones. I believe they go down to about 55Hz and sound nice and clean. MSRP is $400/pr. Yeah, I can piss off the neighbors a few blocks away with them. I drive them off my Elite 45TX's 2nd zone. Best thing is though, they don't have to be...
I think that's common among that generation of Yamaha DVD changers. I have a CX-1, which is the 920's bigger brother and it does the same thing. I believe the transports and video guts were based off of the Panasonic CP-72. Not sure if it has the same issue. The video is so good on my CX-1 for a...
You're looking for a Digital Media server that sits with your HT equipment and will be able to access your PCs over the wireless network. There are several variations of these on the market. Everybody from D-Link to Linksys to Roku have something to offer. There is a section dedicated to this on...
James, These are basically on the endangered species list anymore. I assume that you are referring to a CD only changer. I've been around the block a few times on these units. I've tried a Denon DCM-370, Yamaha CDC-685, Adcom GCD-700, and a Sony 70ES. Out of all of them I liked the Yamaha and...
If you could talk yourself (wife) into spending just a bit more, than I would suggest going with the SB-2s. They will give you much more of a fuller sound, and really aren't that much bigger than the SB-1s. Go to NHT's website to check out the specs on the two. I don't know off the top of my...
I have a 6400 in my 2nd system and it does a great job on video as far as I'm concerned. I belive it sounds good on the audio side as well (CD, DVD-A, SACD), but not quite as good as my Elite DV-45A. However, the video on the DV-45A loses by a wider margin to the 6400 than the audio of the 6400...
