yeah, the RP82 is a bedroom system for me as well. the main system (click my WWW link above) has a pioneer elite dv-09. I haven't been disappointed with either the panasonic or the pioneer. then again, I've had the pioneer since mid-2000 and the panasonic is only ~6 months old if that...

good idea. I have the RP82 myself and am pleased so far (except for the noisy transport). but what about these comments on reliability that I found on Amazon. plenty of good reviews but these are a little disturbing. any truth to them? "Be Warned. Many users of the previous model DVD RV31k...

trying to help a friend out (who has no net access and minimal budget) and get the most value for his dollar. I believe his television is a mid range 27" sony or panasonic. there is an s-video input but no component inputs. the receiver is an HK AVR220 with the JBL NSP1 speaker system. MP3...

which device did you use for the modulator?

yeah, my DV-09 does that but I don't want to leave it on all of the time. would be neato if there was a device that created random images based on an audio input or something, kinda' like medai player in windows.

odd request, I know but let me explain a little better. I have a lexicon MC-1 and I can assign a video signal to accompany any of the audio only sources such as CD or FM tuner. what I want to do is find some device that I can plug into the MC-1 as a video source that will generate moving video...

what I want to do is connect 15" LCD flat panel to the multizone output of my Lexicon MC-1. the cable length between the MC-1 and the display will be about 27 feet. most of the sources on the MC-1 will be available to the multizone output (DVD, Sat., SVHS, CD audio, AM/FM). The two options are...

these are the orange ones with nicer (looking) connectors that look like they might be made by a different company than the one that manufactures the rest of their GoldSeries line. these are certianly priced pretty low at $14.99 for a two meter cable. here's a link...

how do the bettercables silver serpent component cables compare to the version that they replaced? I'm thinking about buying the silver serpents to go between my Pioneer Elite DV-09 and 610HD, thus replacing the previous version of the better cablescomponent video. if I do this, I will be...

well, the back of the DLS looks a lot like the back of the monitor audio ASW-110 I had a couple of years ago. variable crossover and phase shift. while the Sony may have more boom, the DLS seems to be more on the side of audiophile. searching this forum, I see a lot of posts recommending...

true but sometimes it's better to use the crossover in the sub. some are better than others. I suppose in this price range, none of the subs have 18dB crossovers. :frowning:

the DLS sure seems like a bargain. the Sony WM40 seems to be a good one as well. doesn't look as well made, though. will have the see the Sony up close because from the pics I've seen, it doesn't appear to have an adjustable crossover.

Dustin, thanks for the recommendation :D actually, I'm going to need to place an order with Parts Express anyway. never considered them as a source for a sub. by the way gang, I realize that I need to listen to subs and make up my own mind (have given that advice myself) just looking for...

already have an M&K 350THX in the other room :) here's what the budget system consists of so far: receiver: HK AVR-220 speakers: JBL NSP1 DVD: Panasonic RP82S I'm looking for a high bang for the buck budget powered sub that can be had new or used for under $250 (under $200 preferred)...

thank you to the folks that have contacted me privatly regarding receivers that they want to sell as well as the postings here. I suppose that I should have been more specific with respect to price range. I'm looking to spend no more than $300 for a used receiver. and frankly, the H/K refurbs...

Stephen: thnaks for the tip on the H/K refurbs. they look like just what the doctor ordered. Michael, thanks for the link. that's more than I'm looking to spend, though. looking to stay under $350 for now.

hi gang, haven't logged in here for a while. anyway, I'm putting together a bedroom system and am looking to purchase a used receiver (already have a really nice main system - see my web page). anyway, I've seen some of the recent threads on new budget receivers but since this is a bedroom...

oh... is there a recommended computer case (one that is known to be pretty quiet)?

Hi Gang, Can someone point me to a FAQ or answer the following questions: 1) what are the minumum recommended system requirements (I have a spare PC with dual Pentium Pro 200 CPUs and 256MB RAM)? 2) What do I need to look for in a video card? 3) Is there any reason to seek out a hardware...

1) how does the X-box work on a 16x9 wide screen TV (Pioneer Elite 610)? can you use standard "full" mode and fill the screen as with an anamorphic DVD or do you need to use one of the TV's 4:3 stretch modes? 2) has anyone actually had a chance to compare the Microsoft supplied component video...

great links, thanks!

what about the big reflective ghost in the middle of the screen (seen mostly in darker scenes or durring the credits)?

looking for something like this but specifically for Pioneer Elite RPTVs: http://www.bus.ucf.edu/cwhite/theater/ToshibaTips.htm thanks!

whould appreciate any info (links etc.)

I'm not sorry I opurchased my Bryston 9B. I often listen at reference levels (0 and above). The amp has never clipped once. http://www.mindspring.com/~pmbenn/HT.htm Link Removed

I'm very satisfied with the Jon Risch recipe. They sound so much more open and natural than the bettercables wires that EVEN MY WIFE noticed. She walked in and noticed the difference immediatly.

here's what I did: http://www.slip.net/~pmbenn/cables.htm BTW, I learned about the cable asylum from someone in this group.

Does anybody use the Mogami 3082 coaxial for speaker cables?

Anybody use Mogami #3082 as speaker cable? I was told that #3082 (coaxial) is a very popular despite the fact that it's only 14 gauge. I'm considering this cable because I have M&K speakers and have heard that M&K uses Mogami in house. Is the Mogami #2921 a better choice? thanks
