I'm in the same situation as you, not enough component inputs on my tv or receiver. I'm going with the Marantz SR-8500. The new Marantz SR-7500 has 4 component inputs. The SR-8500 has 4 component plus 2 DVI inputs.
It was alot funnier than I expected, I'll definetly be watching it again. Brent Butt is hilarious in his stand up show, this show lives up to that. I Laughed throughout! :emoji_thumbsup: :emoji_thumbsup:
If you go with B&W or Paradigm you should get a receiver with more power than the Denom 1800. A higher end Denom like a 2803 or even a Marants 4400 would be great. I personally know that the flagship Kemwoods (sovereigm line) work very well with Paradigm, especially the Studio 40's and 60s. A...
Just in case the non-Canadians are wondering, here's what the loonie looks like: And the toonie: The toonie is a physically a bit larger than the loonie.
I own the Kenwood (Sovereign) 4700 and like it very much. The features and price pretty much sold me when i was researching a new unit, and when I auditioned it against Denon and Marantz, the Kenwood made my smile. Great receiver, built like a tank (and weighs about the same). The D/A converters...
Silica gel was developed just prior to WWI and was used in Allied gas masks; then, in WWII it was used extensively to keep penicillin dry. It remains the highest capacity adsorbent available today. Not a "gel" as commonly thought of, and not to be confused with "silicon gel", silica gel is a...
Chad, I think it was around $150 when i got it, but that was on an upgrade plan a year ago. They're much cheaper now especially with new contracts - around $50. I'm not sure if they can hook the 8390 up on pay-as-you-go, but if they can the phone can be bought outright for around $250.00. (i...
Hi Chad, IMO, a GSM phone is the only way to go. I had digital PCS for my previous 2 phones and the GSM was a big step up. People on the other end of my phone conversations think i'm on a regular land line because it is so clear. I'm in Regina too BTW. I have a Nokia 8390, its the best...
I have a Kenwood VR4700 with the sub re-mix option. From what i understand, this option allows you to send low frequencies (below 80hz) both to the subwoofer AND the main speakers when they are set to LARGE. Comes in handy when you have near-full range mains and a good sub. ie: Paradigm...
I think the whole 'instantly deaf' thing is a bit dramatic. The frequency of the sound has alot to do with it.. for example, SPL competitions for car stereos frequently exceed 160db!! I'm sure that's a note under 100hz though.

Get what you pay for, sure... The properties alone of CAT5e high speed cable make it an excellent alternative to lamp cord. Highly pure copper, Teflon dielectric.. minimal skin effect. What's lampcord? Stranded tin in plastic?
I guess the only way to find out is to replace my computer...
I built my cat5 speaker cables about 6 months ago and really enjoy them. Before these i had a pair of monster cable MCX-IS biwire, they were around 200 bux for the set. After building the cat5 did alot of AB testing (not blind mind you but i was skeptical of the cat5 in the first place) and...
