Walter Becker has passed away at the age of 67. Steely Dan is one of my favorites. Any time I'm feeling down or life has me overwhelmed, I don't reach for a drug or a bottle, I reach for an album. Usually Aja or The Royal Scam (possibly the most under-rated album of the 70's)...

Just noticed this on their site today. The 1124, 1130 and vsx-80 are pretty decent deals. http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/brand_category/pioneer/1.html They also carry Elac now as well.

For sale is a Marantz SR6005 receiver in excellent condition. I bought this off Craigslist and only received the receiver, replacement power cord, setup mic and the original remote but the volume buttons did not function so I purchased a remote from a 1403 off ebay and even though it isn't as...

These are serious in-wall speakers. MSRP was $399 each. I bought them off ebay earlier this year for use in my back bedroom turned family room and it took 5 MB Quart Vera's (msrp $2250-$2500 each/pr-about $7500 worth) to change my mind. These are the dual 6 1/2" driver versions and are...

For sale is a pair of primus 160's, the original 6" bookshelves in the series. They are virtually identicle to the newer 162 and 163's except for cosmetics. This pair is in great shape functionally and decent enough cosmetically but they do have normal wear and tear that you expect from used...

It looks like Pioneer has released the first new HDMI 2.0 receivers, the VSX-80 ($700) and the VSX-44 ($500). The VSX-80 looks pretty good with Sabre Dacs and and at least some sort of subwoofer eq. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/ephox/StaticFiles/PUSA/Files/Home/VSX-80-Single-Sheet1.pdf

The 5005 is from ac4l with the box and all accessories. I soon after found the 6005 on ebay so the 5005 has very few hours on it and it looks performs as new. It's also on ebay for $349 + sh. I'm only asking $325 shipped free on the HTF. The pictures are of the 5005. The 6005 comes with the...

All of these work fine. Guaranteed not DOA. Might take me a day or two to ship but I will as quickly as I can. Shipping t cont USA only. Audiogon user name Genec. Check my feedback. Thanks for looking! 1) PD-F1009 301 disc cd player. Used condition but very acceptable appearance. Works fine...

For sale is a good as new (really, it is) Integra 301 disc dvd changer. This is identicle to the Yamaha, Marantz, etc 301 disc changers that were manufactured by Pioneer but use a different face plate depending on the brand. They all use the same remote supplied by Pioneer and use the Pioneer...

3 1/2 way design, dual opposing 8" woofers. Center, bookshelf and surround speakers. I expect them to be pretty awesome. http://www.svsound.com/speakers/ultra-series

A seperates based system would be much better than any htib except the Onkyo 9300/9400 which isn't bad for a pre-packaged setup. Think about a factory refurbished Denon or Onkyo receiver in the $350 range from ac4l.com like the Onkyo 609 or the Denon 891...

For sale is an Outlaw 990 with a Harmony 880 remote. The 990 is in perfect condition without a mark on it. I never had the original remote so I bought a Harmony 880 which I will include with the 990. The original 990 remote is available from Outlaw for $48 but you won't need it. The 880 is much...

They're on Onkyo's wesite. "Coming Soon". Looks like the 609 gets Audyssey DSX and Marvell Qdeo for the same list price of $599. That puts it back ahead of the Denon 1911. For now .

Title says it all. On sale for $399 with free shipping. If you ever thought about getting a separate amplifier now is the time.

TheSpeakerCompany.com has closed it's doors. I haven't recommended them very often because I never really had any experience with them. Most of the products I've recommended around here I've at least heard at a friends house, auditioned them extensively in the stores or owned them for awhile (I...

$12,500 for that Aerosmith's "Rocks" SACD? I don't think so. For me, it was about $35 for Mobile Fidelity's Aja by Steely Dan. How about you? And much would you pay for something you really wanted, if it was available in your chosen format? The Yes album, Close To The Edge, Going For The One...

They don't charge a fee to buy or sell and I don't see any advertising. Where does their money come from??

I have an extra un-opened copy if anyone is interested. $5 + $1 for S/H. Gene

I was in Walmart today (looking for more of those darned $5 cd/dvd's) and saw they had the Magnavox BluRay player for only $98. Of course, just as I noticed it some lady picked one up. There was another on the shelf but the box was a bit "taddy". Still, those on a budget got a good deal. I think...

And if so, when does this start to happen? In their early teens, girls seem to go crazy for their teen Idols and Madonna types but at some point things start to change. There's a "WAF" but no Husband/boyfriend equivalent. Guys seem to be the ones shopping for car stereos and Home Theaters and...

In store only. The 875 is a real bargain at that price.

:frowning: Fry's is at it again! Infinity P362 floor standers for $99 each. Regular price is $299 each. Lowest I've seen before is around $189. Looks like this is an in-store price only, not available on-line :frowning: . But still....

In Jan '04 I bought an $999 Apex 55" rptv (I know, but it was cheap and so am I) from CompUSA. I was at least smart enough to get the 4 year TAP service contract @ $99. About three weeks ago, I turned it on and it looked like a bad 3D movie without the 3D glasses. I fussed with it a bit but to...

I may be jumping to conclusion but I've never seen them at such low prices from authorized dealers. $129 and $249 each for the C3 and C5. 4's are $175 a pair. 6's @ $250, 8's @ $500, 10's @ $600 and 12's @ $800. And I think OneCall has them in their clearance center already. I know I've been a...

I've often wondered about this. Is there some performance or acoustical reason why some are 4 and others are 8? It seems like most consumer oriented speakers are 8 ohm while 4 ohm are more audiophile. But that's a real generlization. And what part of the speaker do they change in order to change...

Having a hard time deciding between a mid level avr or entry level separates. For avr's the choices are an Outlaw 1070 for $899 or a Marantz 8500 refurb for $699. For separates, Outlaw 770/7075 at $1298 or the Emotiva Ultra (LMC-1/LPA-1) for $899. As a long shot, Emotiva also has the MMC-1/LPA-1...

I found this site about 3-4 years ago from an add placed in the back of DVDETC magazine. I had bought my first avr (AIWA DV-75) in 2001 and quickly realized that even though I had been listening to music for close to 30 years, mostly via headphones or in the car, I really didn't know what I was...

I saw this stuff called "sound board" at Lowes/HD. It comes in 4 x 8 x 1/2" sheets for less than $10. Is it any good? Forgot to mention that it's a sound insulator, but I guess most of you knew that anyway.

I'm looking for my next (and hopefully last-for awhile anyway) avr and I'm interested in the Outlaw 1075 (1070 actually). There seems to be lot's of love for internet speakers, but rarely is an internet receiver recommended. Probably because most (Adcom, Rotel, etc.) are out of range for most of...

Mine is Bruce Springsteen's "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town". How about the best compilation cd?
