    Receiver with "Sleep" option?

    Most Onkyo's have it. Just a quick heads up. However, my Elite 45TX, which had a 1400 dollar price tag, doesn't have it. :frowning:

    Hk Dpr 1001

    I don't have any personal experience, but several people have been disappointed with the sound coming from these "new" digital recievers. This was HK's first try at a completely digital reciever, and several people (at least over at AVS) didn't think it had the Harman Kardon sound characteristic...

    BB discount on Klipsch

    Well it would depend upon whether you wanted direct firing surrounds or not. Do a search here and you may find some of the debate. It comes down to personal preference I think. I have the Reference equivalent to the SS-1's that I use for surrounds, because it disperses the soundfield better...

    Sub at $400...Hsu or Adire?

    So, for 400, which is the better sub, the STF-2 or the Rava. This is for Home theater only. Music is listened to on other system. I'm leaning toward the Adire because of the finish, but it will be tucked away in a corner, so it doesn't matter. Thoughts?

    BOSE name dropped on E>R> last night

    LOL yes but guess what the asking price was? "Bose speakers, 80 dollars.":emoji_thumbsup:

    Good Bye Yellow Brick Road

    I have to say I really like the surround mix on this. Also, although my family has most of the Elton albums, I have never payed any attention to them, because I usually just listen to the greatest hits albums that we own. I am enjoying all the new songs I have never heard before. My dad said...

    Good Bye Yellow Brick Road

    I managed to find it at another BB about half an hour from here. I got the last two copies of the version with DVD. From what I've heard, the mix sounds great. Be careful with those hubs though, these are Crest kids!!!

    Good Bye Yellow Brick Road

    That's great. My local BB didn't have this disc in the SACD or regular cd section. I was so upset! I went in for two things yesterday, and they didn't have either of them. They also didn't have the Return of the King soundtrack. :thumbsdown:

    Any reviews of the Flaming Lips DVD Audio?

    The use of surrounds in this release is phenominal! What a great mix Elliot has come up with this time. Also, I bought this having never heard a Flaming Lips song based on the reviews read here. Thanks. When I first heard the disc, I really didn't appreciate the music at first, but every time I...

    Free SACD with Nov. 21st Rolling Stone Magazine!

    Lee, have you seen the magazine anywhere in Alpharetta? I've checked Media Play on North Point, and also the Barnes and Noble twice. Any suggestions as I really want to pick this up before Thanksgiving to use as a demo. Thanks

    Quick Tommy heads up!

    Does this mean that Elton's YBR will be from Crest as well? I'd like to know before throwing $30 down the drain for this set.

    Any reviews of the Flaming Lips DVD Audio?

    You also can go to their website here and listen to alot of tracks as well. Pretty neat website actually.:emoji_thumbsup:

    Denon AVR-3803 vs. Pioneer Elite VSX-43tx -- which one?

    I'm a happy 45TX owner here. In fact, I bought it just before the new models came out for a sweet price (at the time). If you can find a 45tx, I would take it over the 53 for a few reasons. The 45 has the RS-232 and USB ports which I don't think the others have. The 45 has a much nicer...

    Quick Tommy heads up!

    Turns out these are from Crest as well. One guy over at the Asylum is already reporting cracking. :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: Maybe all we will ever get from Crest is lip service. I've heard it sounds great, but this is ridiculous.

    Who has The Who ???

    Thanks for the mini-review Larry. I want to pick this up, but that price is a little steep for me. Does anyone know the retail on this, and any online etailers that are carrying it?

    Who has The Who ???

    Okay thanks Larry. Be sure to report back. I assume Best Buy will be carrying it. Anyone know how much it is there?

    New Barenaked Ladies CD comes with dvd audio too!

    The disc is called Everything for Everyone, released this Tuesday. Several of the songs are very pleasant to listen to.

    New Barenaked Ladies CD comes with dvd audio too!

    I too picked this up on Tuesday. I noted that in the Postcard track, the mix is somewhat agressive (moreso than the other songs) and I really like it. Better yet, I picked it up for 12.99 at my local Media Play (same price as the single cd) I think it was mispriced, but the add in Sunday's...

    Suitcase Pimps SACD "Love is Grand"

    Thanks. I might have to take the plunge.:)

    Suitcase Pimps SACD "Love is Grand"

    Tommy, thanks for the tip. I have been interested in checking this disc out because of all the positive feedback over at Audioasylum. I know it's a two channel recording. Is it a hybrid? And is the price reasonable? Hmm... guess I can answer those questions for myself. :emoji_thumbsup:
