    Optical cables?

    I'm looking for a decent toslink cable in the $30 range. Outlaw has their new PDO cable for $20 plus $10 for shipping (I don't understand why it costs $10 to ship the cable, but they're firm on that), and AC4L has an AR HT-180 cable for $15 plus shipping, and an IXOS 106 for $33 with free...

    Refurbished Receivers?

    HK warranties the refurbed receivers sold on their website for 2 years :emoji_thumbsup: I just picked up an AVR-7000 there and really like it so far. Some posts on audioreview indicate that HK puts all the latest fixes into their refurb units. I haven't run into any of the reported problems...

    NHT 2.9/3.3 owners, what amp are you using?

    I had the opportunity to try my 2.5's on my good friend's Krell Theater Amp Standard yesterday. I could not believe what I was hearing from these speakers. Simply amazing.. and almost as good as his Thiel 2.3's (a little less detailed, but outstanding nonetheless). That metal tweeter sounded so...

    TV Screen burn in?

    I've noticed something similar on my new Panny 51" RPTV. When the set is off there's a lighter color circle about a foot in diameter in the middle of the screen. Not sure why it's there, but it doesn't seem to affect the picture. It might have something to do with the glare screen.

    Anyone use GAME mode on 47" Panasonic?

    Hi Dylan, I have the new 51" 4:3 Panny set with the same Game mode option. The builtin line doubler works great on most of my Dish Network programming, but sometimes if there's a really bad station I'll flip it to Game mode to make it watchable. I've rarely had to do this :) I haven't...

    Should glare screen be perfectly flat on RPTV?

    I got one of the new Panny 51" 4:3 HDTV sets delivered a little over a week ago. I've noticed that the glare screen is slightly warped in the upper right corner and has a small dimple in the center/right side of the screen. My room is fairly bright in the daytime and it's noticeable on dark...

    Anamorphic DVD on Panny 51HX41?

    My girlfriend and I are looking at getting the Panny 51HX41 4:3 HD set to replace an old Sony 27" CRT. She wants a big screen for sports, I want it for movies. :) Probably 75% of our viewing will be from the dish (less time for movies now that I have a life). :D Does anyone have any...

    NHT and <$500 amps

    That's the best price I've seen on an AC-2. Thanks! I read a press release somewhere that NHT was going to discontinue most of their lines in favor of a new line of mix n match speakers. Have you heard anything about that?

    NHT and <$500 amps

    Hi, I'm looking for some more advice on some used amps to power the fronts and center of my full NHT setup. I'll be using a receiver to power the surrounds/rears until I can afford a second amp. I've been looking at getting two HK Signature 2.1 amps, but recently found a parasound HCA-806A 6ch...

    I did it finally. Got my B&K !!!

    Ricky, Thanks again for the info. I'll keep checking HK direct for a referb. They don't list any on their website right now. The one I saw on ebay was being sold by them so they might be taking advantage of the amp's popularity and using ebay to get a higher price for them. They've got 12...

    I did it finally. Got my B&K !!!

    Hi Kenny, Congrats on the new setup :) After you get things dialed in can you post on how the B&K sounds with the NHT speakers? I have a similar setup: NHT 2.5i - Fronts NHT Super One - Center NHT Super Two - Surrounds NHT Super Ones - Rears (In the bedroom until I go 7.1) M&K sub I...

    Denon 3802 with mixed 6/8ohm speakers?

    Hi everyone. I'm looking at replacing a four year old 100w/ch Pioneer Elite DD 5.1 receiver with a new Denon 3802 7.1ch setup. I'm wondering if there are going to be any issues driving my mixed NHT speaker setup. The fronts are NHT 2.5i towers: In-room Response: 29Hz -25KHz +/-3dB...
