The gemstone amp is pretty fugly, but sounds great and costs a decent amount. Funny this comes up as the best mic preamp I've ever used/heard was simply a black box with a switch, couple inputs/outpus, and 1 led. Everyone calls it the "brick", but it is sweet. When people see it they know what...

Anyone get the $CAN pricing on the AVM-30?

I will ship as long as buyer assumes shipping costs. SC

I have a 25-31 PCi that is really the 22-31. The reason for selling is that the sub gets in the way of the screen I will be putting up. The unit is 1.5 yrs old and has seen moderate use. On average we watch 4-6 movies per month during the winter (Nov- Apr.) and probably 2 or 3 a month during the...

What exactly is this?? I recently got a DV45a and the 2.35:1 movies got larger than they were previously on a Denon 1000. I have a Mits 55511. I set the 45a up for a16x9 tv and the picture got larger than we previously saw, but if I set the player for a 4:3 screen I see the same image as before...

I'm probably the young one here (24), but I'll chime in anyway. My wife is the best! With the $$ from the wedding we were going to get a big screen and she knew this and was all for it. Well, we purchased a newly built house so I've had to let her do all the decor. I was thinking a 48" WS would...

I just got this player yesterday and when outputing the 480P the image is blown up. I have a Mits 55511. I'll put it in standard and shut off the progressive scan and see what happens to the picture size. I now see 2.35:1 films with the smaller black bars (where 1.85:1) movies used to be on my...

Hey there, I have a Mits WS-55511 and finally got a prog. scan DVD (Pioneer DV45a). I set it all up and everything and love the picture, much better than my previous Denon DVD1000!! One question though... all of a sudden all my 2:35 movies take up more of the screen!! I now only have the 2"...

Nick & Brandon, I'm here in MI as well (Waterford) and I can't stand the local dealers. I'm 24 and look younger and going to these places and trying to get service is quite hard. I could walk aroun GRamophone, Almas, Audio Video Alternatives, etc for many hours before anyone actually asked if I...

I prefer DTS and when I played LOTR EE last weekend I had to look at my speaker settings. All this bass everyone was talking about wasn't blowing up my system. It was so tight and defined. That said, is anyone going to correct for the lack of bass compared to the DD signal when playing this...

It is also being said there are clicks in audio playback on the 963a. I guess I'll wait a little while until we can get some more reviews. SC

Thank goodness I'm not the only one who couldn't find squat about audio performance in that thread. Really I'm just as interested in SACD playback and DVD-A as I would be with the video. I'm thinking I'll just get the Denon and hit my man Doug/Jim Oade up for the SACD player. Then it will be...

I'm looking for a nice prog scan DVD player and am currently looking at the Denon 1600. I want nice audio along with no "chroma bug". Either one of the 5 channel music formats will do as I'm sure at some point I'll want both. I also like the feature in the 963 that upsamples CD's as then I...

Good, that is what I wanted. I know that going digi uses the DAC in the unit, but I plan on getting a sep. DAC to use and then run analog in through the rec. I was just confirming my thoughts that a PCM signal could be source direct. Thanks, SC

I'll have a Marantz SR7200 in the near future and I'm wondering if I can use the source direct mode going coax digi into the unit to use it's DAC as opposed to my DVD's?? Does source direct only work w/ analog in?? I plan to get a DAC unit soon. SC

bump.... come on I find it hard to believe nobody hear owns some nice inwalls

I'm selling a pair of Diva 4.1's for around $450 and I must say they are some of the best for 2 channel. Small footprint as well. I must move to monitors. SC

Anyone compared these two products? I've heard that the chroma bug is not very noticable on the new sony. Which will give best audio (2-multi channel). Was leaning towards the RP82, but was told the 2 channel from it is terrible. SC

Neighbor wants to put something together and they must be in wall speakers. I've heard good things about Niles, but he has a budget of around $2K and that might be a stretch. He needs everything, but the DVD player and TV. I'm possibly selling him my Denon AVR1802. He has heard Boston Acoustics...

I just got the 55511 and to set the individual color in the service menu does an increase in # for R-yr, R-yb and same for green increase the color. What would be the best way to deal w/ the red push (slight) on my set?? SC

There is nothing wrong with DAT I use it everyday. See, I'm a taper and love that media as it sounds better than CD. Not, much, but it does. Anyway, I just bought a Mit's so I voted w/ my $$$ SC

Well we moved into our new house and I want a new tv. We were gonna wait, but with financing these days, my as well and get it. A friend of the family is the store manager at a local chain store which carries mits, tosh, sony, and Hit. I've been reading great things about every set, but narrowed...

Is this color balance on all the new series or just the 511 and up?? I'm looking at getting either the 511 or the 311. To get HD it is probably cheaper to get the 311 and a box vs. the 511. I currently use directv with no HD and plan on getting HD over the air and then elminate local channels...

I'm looking to be powering a Diva 6.1,4.1,c3 setup in a couple months so I want to go listen to some amps. Don't have it yet, but I will more than likely be using a 3802 until I find an amp and then use the preouts until I find a used AVM-20. As the Diva's are nice and laid back, I don't want...

Excuse my ignorance, but what the heck is Good Guys?? SC

I am looking at those, but the Rotel is $2K and I've heard the B&K to not be so great with 2 channel. SC

I thank all for your comments. I wasn't saying they were crap, but the reviews are not so hot. I think I'll look into the SHerbourn and Anthem amps as I don't want every comp. I own to be laid back. If the Anthem is neutral that would be great. My listening of music will be going through a tube...

I'm looking into getting either the Theater Grand III or Anthem AVM-20 and wondering about the respective amps??? THey seem to be rather cheap compared to others and I'm wondering why. I'm mainly 75-80% 2 channel, but the soon to be wife would kill me if we didn't have a killer HT system. I'll...

Seth, If you get a chance head over to Winston's on sat. I'll be there as well. I used to own a pair ow B&W 602S3 and then I heard the Divas. The Divas and B&W 600 series are very close in price and I'll explain what I heard. Here is my story: Moved in with fiance and had no speakers so I...

I'm looking into these sets and hoping someone could give me some pros and cons about these sets. I know about the upconversion of the Tosh, but is the PQ of the Mit something to look into?? I heard Best Buy will be carrying the Mit soon. Is there any concerns I should have if buying a Mit...
