A fella offered a trade for my DA5000ES. Wanted to send me a DA5ES... But he sold the DA5ES outright a little while later... I guess a direct sale is the best option but I would be open to some sort of barter... I am surprised no one has pounced on this DA5000ES yet...

There is a B&K Reference 50 on eBay right now for a Buy it Now price of $1450.00 B&K Reference 50 It's not my unit, I am just watching the sale from afar... I suspect the Series 1 Reference 50's from B&K will be dropping in price quickly as the current owners upgrade to the Series 2...

There are 3 channel amps out there Drewbert - I know because I own one. A very nice B&K Components Reference 4430 200 watts times three into 8 ohms with .007% THD. Adcom makes a 3 channel amp (GFA-5503) as does Anthem (MCA-3 mkII) and Aragon (8008 x3). Try doing some research at...

I am sorry Jerome but your view of eBay is myopic and quite a bit out of touch. eBay has more sales and more customers worldwide than General Motors and Walmart COMBINED. Shill bidding is watched by eBay and will result in immediate suspension of the seller. Shill bidding can easily be...

If you like how the H&K works (soundfields - settings etc) you can stay with it, the power you get from a quality stand alone amplifier will almost always be better and cleaner than any from a new receiver. That said - Sure you can buy a three channel amp first and then look for a 2 channel...

Your HK 230 is way underpowered and you will really appreciate the upgrade of an external amplifier. If you are going to limit the power requirements to 125wpc then I would go with a 5 channel amplifier. There are many good manufacturers of amplifiers out there so don't just limit your search to...

Yes, The old RCA must go... I am thinking Commercial Panasonic Plasma - most likely 42" ED but I am still a bit on the fence... I couldn’t do a projector like you have simply because this is a living room and with young kids/cartoons/etc it would be a pain... DLP might be a good idea...

It all depends upon who the seller is on eBay. Heck you can buy from Sears and other major brick and mortar merchants via eBay. So I wouldn’t be afraid of the fact that the item you want is listed on eBay. You must check into the seller though. Feedback is a good indicator but it is not the...

Michael TLV, Thanks for your reply. Do you think that since there is no difference between HD and ED in just the 42" size that I should go with that size Plasma ED at my viewing distance or should I go to a 50" DLP or LCD and suffer the side viewing problems to avoid the burn in issues?

Wally, I guess I need to update that profile... My daughter is 4 now... LOL She is a joy for sure! She is my reason for being. You have a very impressive HT. I think the Sony STR DA5000ES may be a good addition to it for you. Sure you don't want to scrape a little change out of your...

You may want to check out the B&K Reference 50 Series II Pre-Amp. I think I read a review here on Home Theater Spot that indicates the B&K will do what you want. Of course you will have to purchase a multi channel amplifier to go with the B&K reference 50 Series II if it will do what you are...

Greetings, I am hoping to obtain some advice from those who have gone before me into the Large Screen universe. Please be gentle as I know I am a late arrival to the widescreen party... I currently own a 32" CRT RCA TV and am about ready to upgrade. My family viewing time is spent with 70%...

WallyB Thanks for the compliment... I wish I had the extra cash to have two Sony ES receivers lying about but I do not. The DA4ES is better suited for bi-amping my Definitive BP30's so it must stay. The DA5000ES is a fine piece but I missed the sound that bi-amping provides. With an...

Any Questions... Don't hesitate to email me directly at [email protected] Thanks for looking! Scott;)

Greetings All, Before this goes on eBay I thought I would try AudioGon and a few of the forums to sell this perfect Sony Receiver. I have been a member here on HTF for over 2 years but have never sold any of my HT stuff here. Check my eBay ratings though... I will deliver as promised (eBay...

Shiu, What did you "upgrade" too? And... I think I remember you and I being of like mind on some subjects here on HTF about 18 months ago... Was that you? If not, no worries, just wanted to say "hey" and thanks again for the help! Scott

Shiu A Thousand Thanks!!!!! In the back of my head I kinda knew it had to be something simple.... And there it was, as soon as I read your post it just made complete sense to me and I ran, did not walk to the DA4ES and changed the speaker selector switch. Poof, there it was Blue...

Thanks Bill, But no, it’s not that simple.... I have pressed those buttons a zillion times in the last 24 hours... to no avail. Sony has no clue and neither does the local authorized factory service guy, until he has the unit on his bench. His "optimistic" opinion is that my problem...

Greetings, I posted this on Agoraquest and have not yet received a reply, I am crossposting here to see if anyone has a suggestion. Thanks, Scott Problem w/ DA4ES I have had my DA4ES for over 18 months and thought I knew most of the ins and outs of this unit but tonight I am stumped...

Just go to Home depot and buy a spool of commercial speaker wire, 12 or 14 gauge 100% copper twisted strand sealed in clear insulator material - and.... Less than $40.00 for 250 feet!:D Thats what I did, and my brother, and our stuff sounds great!

I would just call the "FUK U OK A" SONY Dealer, if I were you.... Unless the SONY dealer say's to you "FUK U OK A". But, I have no idea why a SONY dealer would do such a thing. But I guess "FUK U OK A" is not the nice little free love town it once was. Yeah, Thats right, that was...

You’re getting a load of answers here... I don't know if you can handle the overload of one more? But I am on the side of spending money wisely! Go to Home Depot. And remember, Home Depot has two different aisles where they sell speaker wire. One aisle has all of the other speaker wire...

I happened to be reading a white paper the other day that may be of interest to Chu's and sort of correlates with his theory. In fact I will paste it here for everyone to read. The Telestron Corporation has developed, in secret, a whole new type of Home Theater Cabinet System to combat the...

Glad we could help Jeremy, Whats the update? All broken in and working well? :emoji_thumbsup:

By the way, Steve.... Hope you like it when I am .... What was the word? Reserved? Yeah, Thats the Ticket! I was Reee Served... Yeah.... Knuck Knuck Kncuck..... Wise Guy!:D

[SIZE=2]Yeah Randall, ;) I hope you didn't drive your friend over the edge with your reaction... JVC has some real POS's as well! LOL And Re:

Re: Brett DiMichele I was not starting any kind of Onkyo bashing thread here. If you care to re-read my 2 posts in this thread, they were just the opposite. I was pointing out to a teenager that his lack of knowledge showed, and that he should not bash another brand, especially when in fact...

I know this may look like "piling on", but I saw these reviews of Randall Duncan’s recommended (Onkyo TX-SR500)on Cnet and just had to post them here. They just prove my point, that all manufacturers have less worthy products than the high end models they sell. When I began looking for info...

Randall, I will simply refer you back to your own first post here...

[SIZE=2]Hey Jeremy,
