    OK, KEVIN'S GOT THE RECEIVER, BUT I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE DVD PLAYER. I'LL LET YOU GUYS KNOW. On a side note, it has been pointed out to me that I made a mistake. The Police disc is actually DTS 5.1, not DVD-A. I appologize. You could say I'm in shock over the death of my car, and the...

    Toshiba SD-4700, Yamaha HTR-5560

    I'm actually just throwing in the cables, so the price would be the same. As far as the amp goes, I'd sell it for $145, shipped, with the charger. I've used it for a few street gigs and coffee shops, and it works fine. It's pretty loud, and pushes 30 watts RMS through an 8" woofer (with bass...

    Toshiba SD-4700, Yamaha HTR-5560

    Ok, how 'bout this: If some one wants to take both of these units off my hands, I'll sell them for $500.00, plus Shipping. That's $250 below market price (Not even counting retail), not including all the goodies I'm throwing in.

    OK, nix my comment about buying a Panasonic DVD-A player. My car died the other day, and I am without transportation. Time to sell some HT stuff:frowning: . Doesn't Toshiba make Onkyo's DVD players for them? What a small world! Yamaha and Denon are owned by the same company (Nippon, I...

    Dual Deck CD burner

    This is a like new Koss CD burner, bought at Best Buy a couple months ago. I've burned maybe 10 discs on it (if that). I have to sell it to pay for car repairs (actually, to get a replacement). New, they sell for $200-$250. I'll sell this one for $150 plus shipping, with everything, in new...

    Why are tube amps better?

    Thanks Jack, Unfortunately, my car is S.O.L. That ends my tube amp venture. I'm selling most of my HT equipement on the HTF Market Place, if anyone's interested.:frowning: So long, Tube dreams of glowing tubes and analog warmth!

    My car's motor is toasted, so I've gotta' sell a lot of stuff to pay for the repairs. Here is what I have up for bids (figuratively speaking): A Brand New Yamaha HTR-5560, which retails at $500.00. New, they are between $450 and $500. Everything is there, and in like-new shape, and I'll...

    I checked Panasonic's web site, and the chapest DVD-A player they have listed is actually $799. Sorry.

    Why are tube amps better?

    The reason I was looking at it was because it would reduce (or effectively eliminate) wear and tear on my vinyl. I also thought that it might eliminate some of the pops and hiss associated with vinyl. I didn't know if it would reduce the sound quality or not. Oh, yeah. On reading back my...

    Why are tube amps better?

    5 or 6 figures! Good God! Now I can see that I've picked the wrong hobby! I'll probably have to sell a lot of my HT equipment soon, as my car threw a rod, and I have exactly $673.32 to put towards repairs. With the glowing Central Ohio economy, that might be enough to get my oil changed:) ...

    Griping at Best Buy employees (was "Panny RP-62s Release Date at Best Buy")

    Humm...I'll have to check that out. I did a quick check on Panasonic's website a while back, and there were only 3 DVD-A players, the lowest of which was in the $400 ball park. I'll check up on that later and post what I find.

    Why are tube amps better?

    By the way, is anyone going to answer my question about the needle that doesn't touch the record?

    Why are tube amps better?

    Larry B- In answer to your question about face-to-face meetings, who needs cards? With all these "retro tube amp" fans and guitarists, I'd say it's safe enough to assume that the smiley faces (as well as swirly colors and "tasty" sounds) never leave the periferal vision of many of us. If you...

    Griping at Best Buy employees (was "Panny RP-62s Release Date at Best Buy")

    To stay on the subject, the above posts are correct. The Panny isn't a DVD Audio player. I'm not sure when Panasonic will released a DVD-A player in the under $250 range, but I hope it's soon. I have the Toshiba SD-4700, but I'd definately go for a Panasonic, if it would play DVD-A, and match...

    Kelly- Ouch! Best Buy idiots? I'm assuming that you are quite familiar with using an outdated inventory system that crashes AT LEAST once a day. If you were, then you'd know that 15 minutes isn't that bad of a time frame. Just think...in the 15 minutes that "idiot" spent helping you...

    Why are tube amps better?

    Does anyone know where and for how much I can get one of those needles that doesn't touch the record? I think that they use a laser or something similar, much like a CD player. If anyone has one, what does it do to the sound quality, as far as pops and hisses are concerned?

    Why are tube amps better?

    Ah, yes...this old debate! How is vinyl inferior to, say CDs, DVD-As, SACDs, HDCDs, etc.? How can you get better than the original? Answer-you can't. Sure, vinyl has hisses and pops, but that's part of the experience! As I've said before in other threads, digital is great, but when you...

    Any amps that "double-down" into 4 ohms in a magazine/lab tests?

    Humm...very interesting. That's basically what I thought, but I just wanted to check.

    Why are tube amps better?

    Saurav-My receiver doesn't have a phono stage, if you are asking about that. The Eq I'm using has a sensitivity regulator (correct term? It's called a direct box in the studio). I read somewhere that vinyl has a natural mid boost (low and high dampening/run off, I believe). If not, how...

    Any amps that "double-down" into 4 ohms in a magazine/lab tests?

    Hey Saurav, while we're at it, here's a REALLY stupid question: It seems like speaker sensitivity is key. That being the case, how does wattage relate in the following senario: Say you have a 100 watt amp, and two sets of speakers, both with the same SPL. One set is rated at 300 watts, RMS...

    Any amps that "double-down" into 4 ohms in a magazine/lab tests?

    Yeah, thanks. That helps out a lot, actually. Sorry I might seem a bit slow to catch on, but to honest, I've never really been a "spec" guy. More an "ears" guy. Now, I'm just trying to get the tecnical side down, without loosing the "if it sounds good, it is good" mentality. If you think...
