    Want to trade for a Marantz RC-3200 remote

    I would like to trade a Home Theater Master MX-500 and a RadioShack 15-1994 for a Marantz RC-3200. The MX-500 is 11 months old, and in VERY good condition. The RS 15-1994 is slightly older, but was used only for getting discrete codes to copy to the MX-500. Both are in PERFECT working order. I...

    Prog. Scan DVD for Marantz SR-8200 Receiver?

    Hello all! My JVC XVD-721 progressive scan DVD player just bit the dust.:frowning: It began locking up in on layer changes, displaying random pixellation and otherwise showing its a$$ a few days ago. I think the laser pickup assy is toast. While it is technically out of factory warranty, I...

    To "Y", or not to "Y", that is the question!

    I hate to rehash the age-old question of whether or not a 'Y" cable makes any difference on a sub's output, but I will. :) After an exhaustive search, much online reading and a whole lot of soul searching I just bought a Velodyne SPL1200 sub from Onecall. I was originally going to choose...

    TechFlex size Canare Star Quad 4S11?

    Does anyone know what size of TechFlex I would need to jacket my Canare Star Quad 4S11? I made three 14' speaker cables a couple of months back, and have decided to dress them up a little. I would need three 15' lengths, and possibly 2 additional 12' lengths to dress up my surround cables from...

    IXOS 206 VS. Vampire 558 Banana Plugs

    Does anyone know for sure if the IXOS 206 Banana Plug is the same as the Vampire Wire 558 Banana Plug? They both appear to be made by the same manufacturer. I *believe* these are the same connectors used by Bettercables on their speaker wire products. The reason I ask is that I am going to...

    Thumbs up on the Marantz SR-8200!

    Well, I'd have to give the SR-8200 a resounding "buy" rating. After returning a SR-7200 with all of the assorted click/pop problems, I am happy to report NONE of these issues are present on my SR-8200. Despite having to spend an extra $600 over the purchase price of the SR-7200, I am thrilled...

    Hello all, My out of warranty Pioneer Elite VSX26-TX has started experiencing problems with the DSP board. Sound started cutting out and sometimes it takes 10+ minutes after powerup to finally output sound. I am going to have a local shop re-solder the DSP's (I found the locations in another...

    Lovan Director center channel stand

    I have a Lovan Director center channel stand for sale, $55 + shipping. It originally retailed for $79.99, and I used it with a B&W LCR6 for about two months until I went with a wall-mounted unit out of necessity. It is the larger of the two sizes that Lovan makes, and is quite heavy! I have the...

    3/8 plate glass for Mits 55807

    I just traded in my 55" Mits 55807 for a 65" 65807, and can no longer use the glass I had cut to help support the weight of the center channel speaker. The dimensions are 22 7/16" D x 50 1/2" W x 3/8" H. It really looks good on top of the TV, and supported the 30+ lb weight of my B&W LCR6...

I would buy the Dish 6000 with the OTA 8VSB tuner cartridge (running MediaCom basic cable into it for locals until I erect an antenna), and run it through the DTV input on my...

    55" or 66" WS HDTV at 13 feet?

    Hello! I'm considering buying either a Mitsubishi WS-55807 or a WS-65807 Widescreen HDTV in the next few months. My wife wants the 65" one pretty bad, but I'm a little unsure (what a switch!). Our room fill fit the monster 65-incher OK, so dimensions are not the problem. What I'm wondering...
