Long story short, I am sick of the sound from the TV speakers in the living room so I want something better. I thought about using a spare Harman Kardon receiver that I have and a pair of bookshelf speakers (have 3 different pairs) but that would complicate things for the wife and kids having to...

Alright, enough of Neal Morse and Bob Dylan. :nyah: Heavy music is where it's at. :drinkingbeer: The new album Hardwired... To Self-Destruct will be released on November 18. They have released two videos so far for the songs Hardwired and Moth Into Flame. They have never been the greatest...

We took possession of an apartment two weeks ago and yesterday I put together the system that we are going to use here. Nothing fancy, but it will do the job for the 18 months that we'll be staying here. Yamaha RX-A830 receiver Boston A26 front Boston A223C center Boston A23 rear Boston ASW250...

I got tired of network issues with my Denon E300 (I had a Marantz 6008 with the same issues) so today I ordered a Yamaha Aventage RX-A830 receiver. I chose the 830 over the 730 because of the 7.1 preamp otputs. Planning to add a 3 channel amp in the future. $450 shipped from accessories4less is...

Has anyone ever listened the MB Quart Vera or other MB Quart speakers? They have the Vera bookshelf speakers on closeout for $449 and their page shows the original list price at $3600 :scared-eek: It sounds too good to be true and now I am curious to try them :happy-smileygiantred...

I have my CD collection ripped to WAV, ALAC, and 320Kbps MP3 (a copy of each format for each song). I wanted to see how the file size differs from each format and I ripped one of the CDs into FLAC so I have the three lossless codecs to compare to each other. I used the same song for each...

I got sick of the sound of the TV speakers in our living room (my system is in our bedroom) so I started looking for a cheap solution. Fortunately out Toshiba LCD has Variable Audio Out so all we needed was a little amp and a pair of cheap speakers. After some research and looking around the...

It's time for me to get a new receiver with the newer features like networking, internet radio, AirPlay and such. I sold my Marantz 5005 (excellent sounding unit btw) and bought a cheap Yamaha RX-V673 ($600 msrp, $360 from Best Buy). It has many of the features I wanted but I was unimpressed by...

Wow, I just found out that you can store up to 20,000 songs on google's cloud storage for free. This is great. http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/google-mus ... ould-know/

Just saw this today. http://www.amazon.com/ Has anyone tried it yet? How does it compare to the PS3 interface?

Now that we're back in PA I changed a couple of things. Sold the parasound preamp and amp and bought a 42" Vizio LCD, a Marantz sr5005 receiver, an older Harman Kardon 5 channel amp (Marantz was getting hot with the 4 ohm Dyns) and a pair of older Dynaudio Audience 50 to use as rears. Also...

Does anyone have one or played with one? I am thinking of buying one and wanted some opinions before I buy. I have been reading about it and it looks impressive with what it does. I was thinking to upgrade my receiver to one with networking and other features but it looks like the boxee will...

They just released a 4 song EP on iTunes called Beyond Magnetic. These are 4 songs that didn't make the Death Magnetic album. Pretty cool songs in my opinion but it sucks that they will only be available as downloads. No CD or any other physical media format. They will only be available on...

Audiogoners never cease to amaze me. Just take a look at this thread http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl ... vibration- The stupidity of these people really offends me.

I had been looking for a receiver with the features that I want and need and had set my eye on a Marantz SR5005. The new models have come out so the 5005 has been on sale on various websites but I still waited for it to go down more. I lucked out today when I went to Best Buy and asked them if...

What exactly is a HDCD? What is the difference from a regular CD? I ask because I bought the first 6 Van Halen CDs and they were the 2000 remasters and they all have the HDCD logo on them.

I decided I am going 2 channel for now until wifey and I buy a home with a basement. My system is in our bedroom and wasn't getting much use right now so I decided to make it simpler. Sold my Dynaudio Audience 72SE that I was using as rears and I am going to sell my HK AVR7300 receiver and the...
