Nathan, Thank you very much for your reply. I live in Toronto, Canada and spoke to Yamaha Canada today. As you stated above, 2400's were sold in the U.S. without DPL2x. I was told today by Yamaha Canada that they held off selling any 2400's without the DPL2x upgrade. This explains why I was a...
Hi Everyone, I am about to pull the trigger on a 2400. I was unaware of the DPLIIx upgrade issue. Are all of the 2400's out there in need of the upgrade or are the newer ones being shipped with the upgrade already done? If so, how can one tell if its a unit in need of an upgrade or not...
Hi Gregg, Is this the PSK module or the VSB? I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. How much to ship from where you will be in Canada this holiday season? I assume that the $75 is in US funds.... Phil
I just bought a demo model RP 62 from a Radio Shack in Toronto. Judging by the serial number not having a "B" in it, I believe it to have the Sage/Faroudja chip set in it. I probably won't keep it, so if a fellow HTF'er wants it, pm me in the next few days or so. By the way, because it was a...
Looking for a copy (new or used) of Super Bust a Move for the Game Boy Advanced. I am located in Toronto, Canada and a local buy is prefered, but certainly willing to make a deal with anyone who is willing. Thanks for looking, Phil
I'm going to strongly recommend that anyone who is interested in receiving friendly, courteous service and very competitive pricing check out at HDTVat Bamburgh Circle in Scarborough (Warden Ave. just south of Steeles on the east side).
You will find that they will go out of their way to...
Wow.... Thank you all(David, Patrick, Ted, Geoff, Mark, Mike, Keith, Ted and Eric, sorry if I missed anyone) for your continued inputs. I am taking all opinions under advisement, and will be sure to demo any receiver before I decide. I have also been told the same thing regarding Yamaha...
Brae, I appreciate your comments and will take a serious look at the 45TX. I never intended or want this to be a flame thread of "mine is better than yours...". I am only seeking opinions of those who have knowledge or experience in comparing these two fine receivers. I welcome any...
Thanks to all that have replied,
I do not have an easy task ahead....I think I'll have to find an ELITE dealer to give the 45TX a listen to.
At this point though I am leaning toward the RX-V1 or the new RX-V3300. I would love have the Z1 but I didn't win the lottery last night :)
Phil
Mark, Thanks for the tip, I will certainly look at the 3300. It sounds promising. Any idea on the MSRP? Luis, I have not found the current line of Yammies "bright", but I have also never heard the Panny... Thanks for your input guys. Phil
Hi Everyone, Need some advice, as the title asks, I am considering picking up a used RX-V1 from a friend for use in a front projection theater in my basement. It has also been suggested that I check out the VSX-43TX (similar cost). I am open to suggestions, and will be using the projector...
Fabio,
I can't find the words to describe the site and your H.T........"OH MY" is all that I can come up with.
Incredible, or magnificent doesn't do it justice...
Great Work.
P.S. add me to the list of the envious.
Phil ;)
James, On the 2200 you need to supply power to the "zone 2". I am not sure if the 2300 has a "self-powered Zone 2" or not. I use an old Sony amp to power my outdoor speakers. The 2200 and the 2300 have "selectable" Zone 2. A lot of receivers have a Zone 2, but it is not selectable, you...
James, I have owned a Yamaha RX-V 2200 for about 9 months now and a RX-V 1000 before that and a Sony 975 before that. I use the 2200 for mainly HT, a little music, and the selectable Zone 2 powers my outdoor speakers. I love the Yamaha's ability to process two different audio/video sources at...
Chris/Trevor, Sorry that I had to cancel....Chris thanks for your comments, sounds like you are ready for an AE-100 of your own. Hopefully Trevor and I can get our schedules together this week. Phil
Hi Everyone,
Gabriel,
My budget is growing out of control...will probably end up somewhere around $8,000-$12,000 CDN depending on the equipment I finally decide on. I am blessed with a very understanding wife....so far.:D
As for all the others who posted replies with screen suggestions...
Hi Trevor, Thanks for the invitation, next week is good for me, just pick a day...I am assuming it will be in the evening after work? I will be tied up for most of the long weekend, so Tuesday onward....so it is up to you and Chris... Phil
Chris, Thanks for doing that for me...Hopefully I'll get a chance to see his set up first hand. Eujin, I appreciate your thoughts, I am definetly leaning towards the Sony, now my I have to try and figure out the appropriate screen for it (or the AE-100) Any screen suggestions? Phil
Hi Chris,
We met at the GTA meet:) ,...If you are refering to Trevor, I misplaced his number. I guess you managed to get over there and take a look. I would love to see his AE-100 if he's willing...can you run it by him for me?
Phil
