its a refurbed dell dimension 3000, no AGP, just 3 PCI slots. I tried the NVIDEA FX 5200 with my main dell system (4600) and the picture is pretty bad, unacceptable in terms of what i would like to do. In terms of audio, i set up the SB Audigy 2 NX and sent a digital signal to my arcam avr 200...

because i only have a pci slot available, no agp. Doesn't that card only have s-video out, or am I missing something.

I'm in the process of upgrading a computer to use it for home theater and was looking for video card advice. I'm going to add the m audio 2496 for audio to my receiver and I planned on getting a cheap video card with a s-video out just so i could set playlists. After thinking about it, I figured...

i can't help you with your problem, but i am curious as to the defects with the arcam AVR200. What problem did you have with it?

Out of curiosity, I was wondering how long the batteries lasted on people's remotes when they program it and use it for multiple devices. I have my TV, DVD player, Tivo, digital cable box all programs so I can use one remote. The batteries started to fade on die on me after about 6 weeks...

Chris, when buying speakers the main two I looked at were the PSB 4Ts and the Klipsch RF 15s. Both have a unique sound that is very different from each other. Initially I preferred the Klipsch, probably because that is a sound that I was used to after having the promedia 2.1 for computer...

i bought the best buy extended warranty, they are responsible for everything, parts, labor, etc. Preliminary tests, show the farther away the receiver is, the softer the pop. Guess I just need to figure out what kind of signal the TV is sending out to interfere with the receiver.

"I think the culprit is the TV" I agree, but after reversing the channels, the popping noise is more concentrated in the left side (always the right channel) I guess i forgot to mention that in my original post. I have had a technician look at the tv, but he said nothing was wrong with the...

"Might be a faulty degaussing mechanism, or an arcing circuit that arcs when your power reaches a certain level or saturation" any chance you can explain this a little further, is this a issue with the receiver or TV? Unfortunately I can't try another TV, as the one I have is 32' ~200lbs, and...

just an update, still having the popping sound. I've now have the receiver hooked up with no inputs at all, just the left and right channel. If I power it on, and watch TV (no conections between the two), I'll still get the popping sound coming from the speakers. I've tried the Monster Power...

unfortunately, there are no connections from the TV to the receiver. All video is sent directly to the TV, and all audio is sent directly to the Receiver. There are no connections involved between the two. I had a technician come look at the tv, but they have never heard of such a problem. I...

its one pop at a time. Sometimes there is 30-45 minute break in between them, other times its more frequent. I've even thought it occured in tandem of when I turn on house appliances (microwave, dryer), but there isn't a 100% correlation, as I can't duplicate the sound on demand. I don't get...

not to hijack this thread as it has been extremly informative; but i believe I have a power problem at my apt and think someone might have a solution(product) recommendation for me. The problem is when playing music, watching TV, DVDs, etc, the right channel will experience a static pop wound...

you get pick up a Klipsch or PSB setup for $1500. For Klipsch check out the RF 15s, RB-15s, RC-25 and a RW-10. For PSB, check out the 4Ts, 8C, 1Bs and Subsonic 5i. I found two authorized online dealers who can do those packages for under $1500. E-mail me at [email protected] if interested.

I was wondering if anyone on the board bought any factory blemished speakers online. If so, what kind of blemishes did you notice. A lot of people seem to suggest them, i'm interested to know what they end up looking like. Any info would be appreciated. PSB specific would be better, but any...

I'm writing to see what people's opinions are of the the PSB 4T and Subsonic 5 vs PSB 7PT. I can get both of them for approximately the same price. I've heard the 4Ts and liked them, but thought they were a little weak on the bass responce. I could add the Sub 5, but I am concerned about...
