    Denon AVR-3310CI and AVR-4810CI - Any Info?

    I see that the AVR-4310CI is already listed on Denon's website, and the AVR-3310CI (and lower priced models) are talked about on C-Net and other web sites. It looks like the 4310 and 3310 are $2000 and $1500 MSRP. The spec sheet on Denon's website shows that the 4310 weighs around 34 lbs...

    30" Sub for $700?

    I thought that might get your attention. I've been daydreaming about a possible project and would like some feedback from Those More Knowledgeable Than I (not a real exclusive group....). I've been trying to come up with a way to 1.) Build a sub with lots of cone area for good "Slam...

    Shopping DVR/HDD - Pioneer 420/520 vs. Tosh XS32 vs. Pana 85 vs. ?

    With Costco putting the Pioneer 420 on sale next week for $399, I'm seriously shopping for a DVD Recorder with a HDD. I've read this forum and browsed a little at AVS, but I'd really like to hear anyone's experiences with the combo units listed or any others available for under about $500. I...

    Routers for Jasper Jig

    I have a pair of Jasper Jigs on the way, and now I'm trying to decide which router to get. The Dewalts seem to get great reviews, does anyone know if the Jasper Jigs fit the new model 616 1.75 HP? I can get the kit (plunge & fixed bases plus bits) for $180 at Sears with a coupon I have. A...

    Adire Rava FS - Portland, OR area

    I'm selling my 1-year-old Rava for $350. 4 years left on warranty. This has a 12" Shiva driver, a beautiful oak-veneer cabinet and a 250 watt amp. I would prefer to sell it locally (Seattle to Salem) to avoid having to ship this beast. I love it's sound and power, but it won't fit with the new...

    Low Profile 10" Sub - Need a Driver

    I need to build a new sub to fit under an equipment cabinet, so my size is quite limited. The maximum dimensions are 11.0" high, 12-13" deep and 36" wide, for a gross volume of approximately 3 cu ft. I had planned to use the Titanic 1002, but I just noticed it's overall diameter is 10-15/16"! I...

    17" Monitor OK for testing HTPC resolutions?

    I will be hooking up my new HTPC to my Sony 53HS10 soon, and I have a question for those more experienced in these matters. I have a Radeon 7500 AIW video card if it matters. All the posts I've read say to try any video timings on your computer monitor before using them with your TV. I'd...

    Intel HSF for P4 Socket 478 any good?

    I originally asked this question deep in a thread, but I really need an answer before I can start. I'm assembling a new system with an Intel P4 1.6A CPU, and of course, the stock Heat Sink/Fan that comes with it. The Intel HSF seems to have an adhesive pad where it connects with the CPU. I'm...

    Tweaking a plate amp - PE 300-794

    After an e-mail conversation with John Kreskovsky about high-pass filtering the line output of the Parts Express 300-794 250 watt plate amp, I'm preparing to change some resisters to provide a 12 dB/octave high-pass at around 90 Hz. Now I'm wondering if it would be worthwhile to upgrade the...
