    Walt Disney Treasures?

    I bought the current treasures at the Disney Store for $24.99. Week one, they were giving away a $32.50 stuffed amimal with purchase over $50 plus I preordered the 101 Dalmations II animated to get $10 giftcard and lithos with that same $50+ purchase. So, they could be had cheaper on amazon.ca...

    Calibrating

    If you know of a GOOD local hi-fi dealer, you may consider using their technician for a house call. They were about $70 per hour but just a calibration would not take very long. In addition to first-rate calibration with little hassle, I got some great advice and other assistance in snaking some...

    Weekly Roundup 11/12 (May The Force Be With You!)

    Got AOTC for 9.99 from Blockbuster. I saw a sign up that said that they pricematch. I asked the clerk "what about 9.99 from Toy's R Us?" Yes! She said that she had just called TRU. It couldn't get any easier then that.

    Power Amplifier questions & advice

    In my system, I felt that the Lexicon NT 512 (same as Bryston 9B-ST THX sounded more musical than the Sherbourn. This amp is very similar to the ATI and Outlaw. The noise floor on my Lexicon is so low!! I optimize that with the balanced inputs. I think that the understated power ratings of 120...

    Onkyo DV-SP800 universal player posted on Crutchfield's web site.

    Well, I didn't end up waiting to compare. I ordered the 47Ai today. Thanks for everyone's input. Again, no mention of any of these features/ differences anywhere else! Annette

    Onkyo DV-SP800 universal player posted on Crutchfield's web site.

    Keith and Kevin, Thanks for the info about video off. With all Bryston electonics and KEF speakers my system is very resolving so I need to be sure. Now I'm running out of excuses not to go out and pick one up. Good points also about the differences between 47A and 47Ai. Pioneer seems to...

    Onkyo DV-SP800 universal player posted on Crutchfield's web site.

    Keith, As far as bypassing video circuits, which we know the Onkyo can do: the reason why I think there may be a difference is that in the SGHT review of the Pioneer Elite DV-47A June 2002 they said: "(the pioneer elite) does NOT offer a feature common to many "universal" players: a...

    Onkyo DV-SP800 universal player posted on Crutchfield's web site.

    Thanks for the heads up! For those of us in the market for universal DVD, SACD, and DVD-Audio, there is more for us to sort out. I would like to compare this unit with the Pioneer Elite DV-47Ai. Additional competition is coming this month from Yamaha. My local dealer is taking preorders on that...

    Got speakers.. NOW WIRE!!

    Ed, You'll have to call them for a price, but you really should consider Audioquest Slate internally biwired from Audio Advisor (.com). The biwired option is not listed on their website but you can call them for a quote. I just ordered some biwired. Several of the local dealers love this...

    Kef Reference Model 4.2's help required ; )

    Glad to hear that KEF continues to make strong improvements in their line. I really root for them; I've still got some 103.2's for my surrounds from 15+ years ago. Got such a deal on my Ref 3's on eBay- the prices on the new line weren't even in the same universe so they weren't even a...

    Kef Reference Model 4.2's help required ; )

    As an owner of the Reference 3's I think that this line is wonderful. I have not heard the new Reference series but they are so much more detailed, realistic, and transparent compared to some of the classic, revered 80's models such as the 104.2's. I noticed locally that the less expensive...

    The Upgraded Anthem AVM-20 2.0 Thread

    Attention Tony and other frustrated MASSACHUSETTS residents, Here's the info on 2 authorized sources in Massachusetts that I found. Anthem could not tell me their names when I asked why there are no dealers listed on the website, but when I asked about the specific dealers, they checked out...
