    Let's take a tally: Who on the HTF is on the SVS PC+ preorder?

    I'm order #5281, placed 9/07. I know it's going to be a few days since I'm toward the end of the list, but I'm dying to start seeing/hearing reviews.

    Low household voltage causing noise

    If I don't care much about powering the system during a total power loss blackout, would http://www.tripplite.com/products/co...?model=LCR2400 from Tripp Lite work just as well as the SmartOnline 2200 listed above? This seems very similar to the Furman AVR 1215 at a better price. Am I...

    Low household voltage causing noise

    Thanks for all the input. For the past couple of days, the weather's been cool here and no major voltage swings - holding at 117 - 119. I'm checking the HTS5100 voltage reading every few hours and am ready to check the service voltage coming into the house when it drops again. I am...

    Low household voltage causing noise

    Chris, It's a small world sometimes. Tom Sharp is my builder. I found one of your helpful replies on another topic and it actually prompted my original post. I figure there's a wealth of power supply and electrical knowledge on the forum. In your experience, is this type of voltage...

    Low household voltage causing noise

    Periodically (more often lately), I get low buzz/hum out of my speakers with no signal present. I believe it's coming from my H/K AV6-65 receiver. It doesn't appear to be tied to volume, other components (I disconnected them one by one), or other electrical appliances in the house. My home...

    a receiver /pre-amp/amp combo under $3500

    John, Thanks for the response and comments. I wouldn't find adding the extra amp bothersome as much as I'd like to be able to do 7.1 out of the box and not shop/research more components for a bit. Ultimately, this setup is moving out of the two story family room, into a dedicated HT in what...

    a receiver /pre-amp/amp combo under $3500

    John, Those are some excellent questions.. "Need" video conversion? I'm not sure anyone "needs" products at this level, but I like the thought of everything being up-converted. I'm not sure I understand your statement, "you have 7.1 and don't want to add a 2nd amp?" Currently, with the...

    a receiver /pre-amp/amp combo under $3500

    ok, so complexity of the connections isn't a valid reason not to go to separates. Not to sound like flamebait, but what is? I'm looking to upgrade as well. Going from a HK AVR 65 to ?? I was just about to order an elite 49tx to drive my Infinity Overture 3s, Infinity CC-3, Velodyne CT120...
