I have looked on eBay, but nothing listed there yet. I will look at Audiogon also. Thank you for your replies.

I have loved my Klipsch KSB 3.1 monitors since their introduction. Recently, a jerk broke in and stole them. I don't think the KSB are sold anymore, or at least, I haven't found anyone locally that carries Klipsch. How, or where can I find out which model replaced these terrific bookshelf...

I think the british have more sensational tabloids than we do

Here is my horror story. People like Jacob Aaron have no clue as to what I may buy IF I actually had a knowledgeable salesman answer my questions truthfully, honestly, and respectfully. I am sure Jacob Aaron can recognize a patronizing attitude when he's exposed to it. If there was anyone...

I tried the direct connect from dvd to monitor, but that just made the delay worse. In the interim, I've taken the chicken way out and returned the Onkyo. I won't purchase again until I have actually had a chance to hear a receiver under consideration. I should have done that to begin with, but...

"It happens with projectors frequently from my experience." There was a time when I was a projectionist for AVHQ, I was spoiled on digital scan converters, Barco Reality, and inter-changeable lenses. I didn't buy into home theater as long as I could play at work. I left the Q years ago, but...

I own 2 dvd players, and both of them seem to have problems with sound lagging behind picture. 1. Apex 1500 2. Panasonic RV-31 The digital side lags just enough to be annoying. It doesn't matter if you use coaxial or optical. I never noticed it before, because I had never an HT receiver...

Okay, please disregard this question completely , as I took it back in favor of an Onkyo SR 501 (closeout). The diff in price was about $10, but the general specs seem a bit better. My very first stereo component was an Onkyo receiver, so I am hoping this product will be as trouble-free.

Okay, scratch question #1. The manual did not answer that concern, however I did stumble across that answer on my own. What does suck, is that after all that programming, the tone settings do not stick after being saved (for example, from jazz station to rock station). I am still trying to...

I have heard the woes of this lower end Sony product - AFTER purchasing a demo model for a price of around $239 from Circuit City. They have a special on open-box items, offering free 3-year extended warranty, so It seemed like a good deal. Thus far, the biggest problem is getting through the...

There is a store in my area that has this model on clearance for $189. It seems to have everything I need for a one bedroom apartment, but a search of HTF did not turn up any hits. Anyone have any opinions about this unit for an entry-level system? Thank you.

Sometimes a warranty is great for shoddy consumer equipment. I bought a panasonic dvd 3 years ago, and it stopped working almost as soon as I got it. Because I had a second machine, I never got around to talking it back until a week ago. The extended warranty covered all the costs, and BB called...

Two thoughts $10,000 Plasma is still considered a niche product, so the fact a large retailer would carry it is noteable. In the the past, $700 was a mere starting point at which a quality HT receiver was offered. With the prices coming down, Best Buy's market doesn't need costlier...

Let's not prejudice other dvds, either.

In the analog connection, impedance mismatches can cause this.

I found that Klipsch makes small speakers that are musical, and could work for home theater.

Would you folks please remember that Elfin magic? Mr. Keebler is so disappointed in you!!!!

I very much liked the first 2, but the 3rd was nothing but hokey and campy. Big letdown to the great potential displayed by 2/3 of the fantasy

a few dvd players have submenus that you must choose which audio output to use (analog / coax / optical) further, your HT receiver could also use this. Check you r manual to see if it tells you how to select the differance types of audio inputs from your sources. It sure sounds as if...

For once, a real paradigm shift *cough*

THanks for the reply. I hadn't considered the battery charging circuit to be a contributing factor of noise. What would you think of one of those combo units made by companies like APC, that have 6 outlets, 3 with surge suppression, 3 with backup power? In that way, my HT reciever could have...

I have not spent much time at best buy, but I see the same issue there as there is at CC or Compusa...some items are best price while others are worst price. I can go to Walmart to spend the least on a USB hub, or go to best buy to get the best price on an mp3 player. When I was shopping for...

I'd like to protect my gear with either a ups or power conditioner. I've seen a couple of threads about surge protectors, but nothing else which weighs the advantage of the other 2. Some of the electronic retailers really pushed certain products which tout 'filtered' power. Do not both ups...

Praxis? Isn't that the Klingon moon that blew up?

Let's not forget to save enough time to watch a movie :)

Not sure about the rest of you, but the Asgard ship reminds me of a countertop plumbing fixture

I know nothing of theory, only how it works on my Legacy Mac.... 1. It works every time it's connected, BUT 2. Disconneting sometimes freezes my Mac 3. It's just as fast as my 'fast' internal bus 4. It can play mov, avi, and mpg movies as well or as worse as my internal drive (optimized...

I certainly didn't expect this much negative response. You SG Grinches! You can't spoil my mondays :) And I remember well how un-deserving Euros got American programming first. I never could understand that.

The first generation of portable firewire drives allowed footage to be recorded straight from the camcorder. They even got their power straight from the camera. Has that feature been removed?

When I referred to new episodes, I meant the ones starting next week. I realize the monday night run is old stuff, but considering they aired on premium channels first, a great many are new to me!
