Hey, Not sure this is the right spot for this, but I have a media server which i use to stream media over the network to my Sony PS3. I use it often for video, but also for audio. However, I find it rather wasteful to run the PS3 and my TV just to listen to music. My receiver is an older Yamaha...

Greetings! I'm the owner of a Toshiba 50HX70 and we've had warranty work on it three times now. It JUST died on us a few minutes ago and will now have to go through the Christmas break without it. The problem each time was a defective convergence circuit which needed to be replaced. The last...

Hey folks! I did a quick skim of the thread topics and was surprised no one has mentioned anything about the just released Paradigm Studio 100s v3. I walked into my local Paradigm dealer (Advance) and I noticed a pair of studio 40's on clearance sale. Clearance?!? Then I saw a new speaker...

Hey everyone! A buddy of mine just bought a Cayin CD-15A CD player. http://www.sparkaudio.com/gp.asp?id=99&m=1 He tells me it's really "high-end" but I had to tell him I never heard of the company. He tells me it's made in China and that the company is really big in Europe. I haven't...

Hey! I just got back from a wicked concert. The band is called "The Music", from Leeds England. Wicked concert, I haven't heard anything this good in a long time! I've had their debute CD since it came out in NA and it totally blew me away. A lot of people like to compare them with...

Hey! Just a question here. I have a Yamaha RX-V2200 receiver and a Yamaha CDC-685 5 disc carousel. I performed a little experiment by hooking up the player to the receiver with an optical cable AND a set of kimber cable interconnects. Basically, I wanted to A/B test the difference between the...

Hi everyone! This is a really strange problem and I could really use some help here. I've noticed many of the icons that normally appear in the SysTray no longer show up even though the process they're associated with is running in the Task Manager. Now, I know about the option to hide...

Hello! I have a Pioneer DVD-105S DVD drive which is equipped with digital output. My sound card unfortunately is the lame-o chip on the MB itself and doesn't have digital output capabilities. I tried to hook up the digital output from the DVD drive directly to my receiver. I bought a computer...

Hello! This is for a my car, not my home, but I was wondring if any of you DIYers have any recomendations for speaker covers? What properties are important when looking for a speaker cover? To use these in my car I simply have to wrap the material around a holding frame and then snap it...

Hi people! So this past weekend I went into my local Paradigm dealership to find out that the head rep of Paradigm for our region (Jeff) was visiting. His "Paradigm Reference" T-Shirt kinda gave him away so a buddy and I pounced on him with a few questions. :) He seemed like a really nice...

Hey! Well I bought an HTR-5450 (aka RX-V520) a while back and teamed it up with a pair of Paradigm Studio40s. I've read several postings here about how many of the lower end receivers may not deliever the full rated power when driving all 5 channels. This has lead me to believe that to help...

Hi there! I've seen a lot of talk about SVS subs on this forum but I've yet to hear anyone mention the Canadian made subs from D-Box (www.d-box.com). My cousin has one and I have to admit it sounds pretty good. My only concern is that he bought it at Costoc for around $300Cdn. I'm just...

Greetings! I've been looking for a set of bookshelves to act as my mains in my room. The thing is, these bookshelves will be on bookshelves, right up against the wall (well, with perhaps 2 inches clearance). The speakers I've been looking at are the Paradigm Studo40's. The sound blows me...

Greetings! I'm looking for a new set of bookshelf speakers for my bedroom. These speakers will act as my mains, I have no center yet but I do have some very generic speakers for rears. I don't have too much to spend and I've narrowed down the selection to two candidates: Mission m72...

Greetings Toshiba fans! I posted this on HomeTheaterSpot without a response and thought I'd ask here too. I've got a 50HX70 with a manufactured date of Feb 2001. According to some on these forums this set may have the 3:2 pulldown problem that has been talked about. Well, I went out and bought...

Hello folks! I live in Winnipeg, Canada and I recently bought a Toshiba 50HX70 HD ready TV. I'm really happy with it, however, normal cable is almost unwatchable. I know it's not the TV's fault, it's just that the standard NTSC standard blows. SO, I want to go the digital route (like...

Hi! I've been looking at 4:3 RPTVs and I have decided that I like the Toshiba 50XH70. The picture looks great and the price is right. However, I've heard that a major drawback is the lack of an anamorphic squeeze on a DVD source. I've also heard that Toshiba will be releasing new sets this...
