HDMI video signal but no audio
This happens in my set up occassionaly as well. I unplug the HDMI from the back of my blu-ray player then plug it back in and this remedies the problem. 
Life without a remote
Bent Audio has a stepped attenuator remote so you can add remote volume capabilities. I have two preamps with his attenuator remotes. Problem solved. Check it outhttp://www.bentaudio.com/index2.html 
Blu-ray format... Do you like it compared to DVD?
I run a 1080P projector with an 106" diagonal screen. Blue Ray is far superior. No comparison. 
Help with Anthem D2
Thanks for your responses. I have gone through setup for source and video adjustments but still nothing. I will call Anthem on Monday. Kennyt, I ordered the ARC from a local dealer 2 months ago but still have not rec'd. I will also order this on M... 
Furutech / Air Tight LP Flattener - do they work?
I have the Air Tight unit and very seldom use it. I have been lucky with my LP purchases. It has performed well the few times I have used it though. As Yagbol2 suggests, it would be cheaper to look for another copy. 
Anyone compared Esoteric to EMM labs products
John, my budget is about $5,000 (I would like to buy used)so I'm curious to know alittle bit more about the Marantz SA-7S1. I too prefer the sound of vinyl over digital. It would be great to get as close to that smooth vinyl sound with a digital f... 
Anyone compared Esoteric to EMM labs products
Appreciate the responses so far. I already own the EMM labs CDSD transport and DAC8 and have been happy with the sound. I would prefer a one unit system for my home theater set up. 
Confused... Projector or Plasma???????
Thanks guys for all your suggestions. I thought that a 60" screen would be too small at 16' away. Rgwrjs, what's the difference in picture quality between the Pioneer 150 (I've heard this is an excellent plasma) and your JVC? Chaskelljr2001, I'm l... 
Buying from Canada a hassle for you too?
Ridiculous comments I must say! How do you respond? 
joy killing refridgerator
I have an open concept living area so my kitchen is pretty much open and to the side of my stereo room. I just replaced my old noisey fridge and dishwasher with very quiet models. I was looking specifically for quite (low db level) appliances. Mak... 
Counterpoint SA 5000 vs SA 5.1
If you are using a moving coil cartridge, have you considered a step up transformer. Bent Audio has several different models to choose from. Ranging from 14db to 26db. Could be your answer.

The ASL1009's are 90watt amps. I switched them out for BEL 1001 MKv's mono'd (200 watts per side)which led to tighter bass, better imaging and overall presentation of the music. I have since changed out the BEL's for Lamm M1.2's which present exce...

Do you mean VR-4 GenIII's? If so I compared the two in one of the forum topics going back. I still have both but prefer the VR4 GenIII's. My listening tastes are newer style jazz (with good solid drumming and bass) and classical.
