| Marantz Receiver Bad HDMI After I had my Marantz AV8801 serviced, I bought a small, quiet USB fan and set it on top of the unit. It worked great for a number of years until I sold it. I wish I would have kept it and sold my Onkyo instead. | |
| Dealer Discount Most people don't have the first clue about business. They're not making $10K on a $20K pair of speakers.Out of that $10K they have to pay for: FacilityWagesUtilitiesTaxesInsuranceBusiness machines/computers/suppliesWeb siteMarketingPlus they may ... | |
| A question about my Rogue Sphinx II amp I wouldn't go so far as to call it "theft", but using a dealer's time like that and not purchasing from them is definitely not cool.In regards to your actual question, many integrateds don't have very powerful headphone amps. I didn't see any spe... | |

When I got my SHL5 Plus the dealer loaned me some stands while my custom stands were being made. The ... | |
| Marantz Receiver Bad HDMI The HDMI boards on these devices seem to often be a weak link. Onkyo had some huge recalls a few years ago. I had an issue with my Marantz AV8801, but got it fixed under warranty. I now have an AV7704 that I bought refurbished. I think I've had it... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Boston - Don't Look BackVocals and the top end were sounding a little flat on the SL 1200. Played around with VTA (which is super easy on this table!) and things opened up nicely and the bass has more texture and tone. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? My initial impression of the SL 1200 was that it emphasizes bass, but in a kind of "one-note" way. Mid-range and highs are good, but not as detailed as they could be. After listening for a while, expecially with the live Deep Purple album, I gre... | |
| Computer for home audio I'm using my 10 year old Dell XPS 9000 (which is still my main computer rig) to stream Tidal and Qobuz through USB. It's feeding a MHDT Orchid DAC, and I have an ARC VSI-55 with Harbeth P3ESR and a Simaudio 430HA headphone amp. Sound quality is ... |
