If you can get the 720P 50" Panny Plasma for $899. , I would buy it without hesitation! Paid $1900. for mine a couple of years bcak. They`re Great Sets! ------------Pete
For Sale is a Near Mint XA7ES (Black). This was Sony`s Flagship Player. Stereophile Recommended Class A. Original MSRP was 3K. The player plays CD`s and CDR`s flawlessly,and sounds Fantastic. There is nothing "Wrong" with the player. I do not have the original box or manual,but will send...
RIP Wilson. Even when he appeared in Blues Bros. 2000,the man could still sing his a-- off. One of the best ever for that kind of music,no doubt. Best Regards, Pete
Just came from a friend`s house to see his new Magnavox 42MF130A "HD" set that he got at CC for XMAS. Was suspicious right away because the price was way too low. Don`t have the heart to tell him even though it has a HD tuner,it`s an ED set. He should have got the Panny ED. Best Regards----Pete
Hi Brad. The antennas mentioned in the first two replies are the way to go. As far as I know, they are pretty much the same. I have the Fanfare FM2G. Getting the antenna outside makes a HUGE difference. These antennas hook up with cable "F" connectors (screw-on-75 ohm ). I am guessing your Onkyo...
Thanks for the responses. Those SB3 look really nice. I`m using two Super Ones in my 2-channel rig ,and Super Zeros for my modest HT setup. Using the same sub for both. My son needs a decent set of speakers,so I think I`ll get him a pair of SB2 for Xmas. Just wanted to make sure that no radical...
Hello All. I have the old NHT Super Zero and Super 1 speakers. It looks like they`ve been replaced by the SB1 and SB2. Does anyone have the new models,and if so do they sound as good as the old models?? Thanx, Pete
If you are willing to buy used,there`s a Sony CX90ES at Ebay. Let me assure you,this is the changer to get. Many say it`s the best "Megachanger" ever made by ANY company. This player sounds fantastic. Original MSRP was $1100. Take a look if nothing else. Good Luck--------Pete P.S I`m not the...
If you can spend that much,definitely go with separates. You could also go wuth a good used power amp,and save some bucks that way. There are nice used ones for sale all the time here-ebay-audiogon-etc. Good Luck-Pete
Hello R.o.b. Everyone is on the right track here with their replies. It is the amplifier that "clips", whether it is the amplifier(s) in a receiver, car system ,or separates. Any given amp, no matter how powerful it is, can only do so much before it clips (distorts). On a mass market...
Don`t know what your budget is, but check out the Sony 555ES 400 disc at Oade Bros. Their prices are great on ES stuff. I don`t think it has digital coax out,but I think you may be too worried about that. The D/A converter in this unit is at least as good,and maybe better than what`s in most...
Hi All. I have a Panny RP82 hooked to my 32" Sony Wega (KV32FS100) via S-Video. Will I get much of an improvement going to the component hookup? (My old set didn`t nave component inputs,so I never tried it) Thanks, Pete
I have a Tascam CDRW4U. Check it out at Link Removed click on CDRW4U in the drop-down box. This is a stand-alone burner that will record from any digital or analog source. Unlike a consumer dual-deck,you can use data cdr`s and make copies from the copy. Record speed is 1x. You can monitor while...
My favorite is my Sony CX90ES "megachanger" CD player. I`ve had it about 4 mos. now. Don`t know how I ever lived with a single disc player all these years.
I plan on staying with Traditional 2-channel Redbook CD for music. There just seems to be too many issues with the new formats. Who`s with me????? Would like to hear from vinyl people as well. Best Regards Pete
Thanks for the reply Craig. I`m currently using a Super Zero for a center,and all the way around for HT. I was never happy with the dialog clarity,and feel the Intro clr could possibly do a better job. Are you happy with the dialog clarity? Thanks,Pete
Hey Brett--- I was thinking the same thing---A chemical reaction between the wire and insulation. Who knows, The Monster XP I used to replace the corroded wire may even turn green quicker!!
