    Sony DVP-S7000, Any owners, or previous users?

    Sony Flagship DVP-S7000 DVD player. I just put some money down on this player at (you just guess where)..... Anyway, it looks like a solid machine, and it received much praise during its time. It should stack up to the Toshiba SD-9000 I would hope, but I don't expect it will leap bounds...

    Panasonic PT-200 CRT projector, Circa 1990

    I have located a large higher resolution CRT projector (Panasonic PT-200, circa 1990). I have skimmed through Google long enough to know that there isn't any available information on the web. So go figure, I have a couple of questions. 1.) Is it worth the asking price of $150 if the thing...

    A REVIEW! Insignia IS-HC040917 receiver from Best Buy

    Well first the good news. I got the receiver earlier than expected and was able to review it sooner for those who might like to get one for x-mas. I applied for Best Buy's credit card and I got it, yea! So I used the credit card knowing that I wouldn't likely keep this receiver as I was only...

    Subwoofer humming and beeping, help!

    Now, I know it isn't the amplifier. That is unless I have two subs with the exact same problem. I had a KLH 8" powered woofer.:D I know it is crap hence why I call it a powered woofer. It would do this strange thing where it would beeb/hum at any point while it was on, being driven hard, easy...

    Official Playstation 3 Blu-Ray player Thread

    I hope I can make this the official thread, but I wasn't sure. Anyway, who's got one? I know whoever has one probably won't take a break from it for a week, but just in case you get some time, let us know how it performs. I am sure everyone would like to know about Blu-Ray performance in...

    Forget about the Sonic T amp, this is cheaper.

    I am a tinkerer of sorts and had a great idea not long ago to use a computer speakers amplifier to power full range speakers. It sounds like a silly proposal, but I gotta say I couldn't be more satisfied. At Wal-Mart they sell a 2.1 PC speaker system for $24.99 before tax. The system is from...

    Is this true?!? (Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive add-on)

    I read that the 360 HD-DVD add-on only plays HD-DVD movies, and there is debate on including HDMI with the drive. Is there any truth in this? Do they have plans to utilize HD-DVD for their games in a different version of the 360 that perhaps has the HD-DVD drive built in? It seems like...

    Just curious of what HTF has to say on the behalf of using Behringer PA type amplifiers for home theater or stereo rigs with a pre-amp and good speakers, say Martin Logan or Snell. Thanks for opinions in advance.:)

    I want a processor or receiver with pre-outs

    I have been scoping out some receivers with preouts and some processors to find the best deal. First priority is music, so no sacrifices can be made with 2 channel sound. I already have an older Rotel Pre/pro with pro-logic and no 5.1 analog input. I don't want to make a step down in stereo...

    Proof that you don't have to spend tons of money to get a good sound system.

    I just want to share with those who may feel that it is simply to hard and expensive to get a good system. First of all don't look at Bose. Good that bridge is crossed. I would like to share my personal experience as a demonstration to show that you don't have to be rich to get good sound...

    VON SCHWEIKERT Does anyone have experiance with these guys?

    I found these on Ebay. I am not questioning if they are good, just are they worth the money. When a company makes claims that they are the Best speaker company in the world I begin to question them. Since there really is no Best speaker company that would be a hard claim to make, at least...

    What really is the difference between these two receivers other than Elite or not. They have virtually the same features and power, what gives.
