Sorry, not sure which forum I should post this in so I put it here. Please move it if necessary. I have the following I want to sell as a lot (complete 5.1 system): * a pair of Mirage OM-7 floor standing speakers in very good condition * a Mirage OM C2C-1 center speaker in very good condition...

Doesn't matter now. The receiver blew up today. Heard a big pop and then there was smoke and stuff and it died.

Hi. I searched the forum for this sort of thing, but only found really old threads. So I'm asking again. I need a receiver for about $350. My setup is: computer > USB Sound Blaster HD (analog) > receiver > book shelf speakers & subwoofer. I only use 2.1 on this, but I need it to play loud...

My setup: Windows 10 PC via USB Sound Blaster HD (analog) > receiver > speakers/powered-sub. No new sources, and no cable service. It used to work just fine, but now... lots of humming. Thanks.

Hi. I use an old (16 years?) Denon AVR 8303 receiver with my computer. It's always worked fine for me. But recently there's been a lot of humming coming from the speakers, especially when I turn up the volume. Is this the receiver? Is it going bad? Thanks.

I wish I could do bottlehead, but they're way too rich for me. I'll have to find something cheaper.

Huh... that's so simple. Thanks! Now to find a DIY amp kit.

It's an Aperion. The back looks like this.

Hi. I thought I already posted this, but I can't find the thread now so I'm posting again. I listen to all my music on my PC. I have a nice external USB sound card and currently run that into a receiver. My subwoofer (with its own amp) is hooked up to the receiver. I want to build my own...

Hi. I'm wondering how to get a stereo tube amplifier to work with a powered subwoofer. There's a couple of tube amplifiers I'm interested in, but I don't know how to get my subwoofer working with it. The basic setup is this: PC sound card to amplifier (to subwoofer how?). Currently I use a...

Thanks. I like that amp. My sound source is my computer via one of these: https://emotiva.com/products/dacs/dacs/big-ego

Thanks. Would this amp be a suitable match? http://usa.denon.com/us/product/hificomponents/amplifiershf/pma50

Thanks.

How do you use a subwoofer with a stereo amp?

Hi, I have two B&W 685's and an as of yet purchased sub that I want to use with my computer. I need a suitable, good quality amp or receiver (nothing over $1000) to match. All I need is an optical-in and a subwoofer port. Suggestions?

Great, thanks for the input, but there will be no blu-ray player for me any time soon. I spent the money on a Fender Stratocaster instead.

Handshaking? As in, communicating?

As well as unspeakable horrors at the hands of my wife.

Oh yeah... model number. Kinda missed that. [smacks forehead] It's an HLN56W w/ 2nd gen DLP. Incidentally, I just did a google search for that model number to do a visual check and google returned a long dead thread on this very forum where I once answered a post about that particular TV...

I'll apologize beforehand because this has to have been asked already, but my searches didn't come up with anything. I have a Samsung 56" DLP from 2002 that has a DVI input. I'm thinking about getting a blu-ray player, but I'm not sure if it will work with my TV, at least through the DVI...

The TJs have this dinky little subwoofer in the center console. Mine died (my wrangler is a trail rig which sees much abuse) so I'm going to replace it and the dinky little amp that powers it. There seems to be, however, way more wires coming over to this thing than I need and I'm not sure which...

I have two of these that I'm thinking of selling. They're in great shape. How much should I ask for?

Problem resolved. M-Audio makes a sound card with a direct line outs for each pairs of speakers and one for a sub. $64 at newegg.com.

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. Please move it if I erred... I currently have a PC with an Audigy2. It's hooked up to a 2 channel Harman Kardon amp that drives two JBL E50s. I have a cable with a 1/8" stereo plug on one end and two RCA plugs on the other end going from the...

wow. wow. wow. wow.

Recently, I had the opportunity to listen to some very nice speakers (won't name brands) running on a $1000+ CD player, $4000 pre/amp combo, and wired together with $300 speaker cables. I was somewhat surprised to discover that I liked my comparatively humble setup much better. I have Mirage...

What about the Sony DVP-NS975V? No DCDi, but 'PureCinema' instead. Will it suck? If you have a Sony HDTV will it be a good choice?

My X just did this in her basement. It was a massive project. There was a new metal beam involved, which took 11 large guys to move and 20 to lift up into place. They had to cut a chunk out of the basement floor, too, to put in a structural support for the new post.

Wayne, you're awesome! I'm going to have to do this in a few weeks and your directions will be invaluable. Thanks for posting such detailes instructions.

Thank you!
