    Apollo 13 re-release

    I was in Circuit City today and they were showing Apollo 13 on one of their Hitachi TVs. To put it bluntly, the picture looked horrible. I figured it was becuase of their eqipment, so I went home to check it out on my steup. Although it looked much better at home, the picture was still...

    Sony TA-P9000ES still availble anywhere?

    I'm interested in a, preferrably new, Sony TA-P9000ES. I've looked ALL over and cannot find one, as they have been discontinued. Keep in mind that this is the *P* model, not the E model. It is a 5.1 pre-amp. Is there a replacement for this produt or does anyone have any idea where I might...

    More Anthem AVM20 Questions

    I suppose this should go under the other The Upgraded Anthem AVM-20 2.0 Thread but its already at about 20 pages and my question keeps getting lost in the shuffle. Maybe this should be part II of that thread? Anyway: Am I the only one that hates to reset the surround modes each time the power...

    TA-P9000ES Question

    I just recived this unit yesterday and so far it sounds great. One question though...on the front panel there is a mute LED with a small hole. It would seem that this should be a button rather then a hole. According to the manual it says to "push" it to turn muting on, but there is nothing...

    Big Screen Flicker?

    *Sigh* In my continuing adventure with finding a functing TV, it appears that I have yet another problem. This is the fourth TV I have been through in the last month. I was watching TiVo when I noticed a sort of flickering of brightness. It is very subtle, but it is noticable on all inputs...

    Denon 3800 Setup

    Just took delivery of my brand new Denon 3800. I haven't hooked it up yet since I'll be moving in about four days, but I did look at the manual.

    YAAT: Yet another Anthem (AV20) Thread

    I just put my deposit down on my black AV20, but I'm wondering what processing modes it supports. I can't seem to track down a definitive list. Even their website is missing it, as far as I can tell. Obviously DD and DTS, but what else? Also - what kind of balanced interconnects are people...

    What happened to my 5 year ES warrenty?

    While going through some paperwork, I pulled out the manual and paperwork for my XA777ES SACD player. I happened to glance down at the "Limited Warranty" sheet and notice that it said "3 year limited warranty" instead of the 5 year that I thought I was getting. This is, obviously, a Sony ES...

    555es SACD Thump

    I've been enjoying my 555es player in the last week or so up until a few days ago when I discovered the player making this aweful thump, thump, thump sound as certain discs spun inside the player. Its sort of the same effect you might get if you have a flat tire, but a lot faster. It's as...

    775 vs 55es SACD players

    Just got my 555es a few hours ago. I replaced a 775 with this beast and so far am extremely happy. I've only had it about 4 hours, but here are my thoughts. Here are my inital impressions about unimportant things: Build quality is impressive. The extra weight is noticable.I like the style...
