| Receivers "Mantaraydesign":The Marantz SR8002 is not their NEW flagship receiver. That receiver has been out now for at least two years. We're waiting for Marantz to come out with a new flagship model that matches the rest of the models in the present line-... | |
| Receivers "Mantaraydesign"I second "Audiobyus1's" recommendations. If you are buying a receiver in the high-end of the market, I would go with a Denon, as well as either an Arcam or a Marantz.Otherwise, as the lower end of the market, then it's either NAD, ... | |
| First Plasma/LCD purchase ever - a few questions.. "Rockadanny":Do you have any specialty audio/video dealers in your area???If so, why don't you pay a visit to one of them and get a second opinion.Surely, I have nothing against Best Buy, as it is one of my favorite stores. I would buy a lot of th... | |
| your reference dvd How about "Fast and the Furious (#4)" when it comes out in a couple of months??? From what I saw in the preview on TV, there is going to be a lot of surreal action in THAT movie. And the soundtrack should be pheonominal (spelling??).AND"Cerrot":I ... | |
| Top ten DD turntables of all time? In my opinion??? It is ReVox, Denon and then Technics EXACTLY in that order.I put together my first system back in 1983, and that unfortunately was completed with the addition of a NAD 5255 Compact Disc Player back in 1985. Had I went the vinyl ro... | |

| av receiver help needed "Okeeteekid":I second "Ninja's" H/K recommendation. Nice receiver, for a home theater system. As good as it sounds, I don't think I would use it in a high-end audio system. I have an Adcom Preamplifier and Power Amplifier for those purposes.The H/... | |
| AV receiver with hd radio tuner... I believe Yamaha has a model or two (but not certain though).--Charles-- | |
| your reference dvd I don't have a Blu-Ray DVD Player yet. I am either going to shoot for a PS-3 (w/80 GB Hard Disk) or the $800.00 Denon. The new and forthcoming player from Oppo is also a prime candidate. But in the meantime, for my reference movies??? For picture ... | |
| High-Def TVs? Dave:The switchover takes affect on February 17, 2009. By then, won't have a choice. Because TV Stations will no longer broadcast shows in an analog signal. Everything will be broadcasted in an all digital signal.So, that's when it would be wise t... | |

| $800-1000 home theater receiver "Ucmgr":Okay...... exactly, what kind of sound do you want?? Are you looking for a richer, fuller sound??? Or are you looking for a crisper and leaner sound???I like Rich's recommendation of the Onkyo 806 Receiver. I also like the various offering... | |

| External DAC for PS3 "Wonderful_electric":Your Quote -- "But what do you think about the latest top of the line offering from Meridian?"My Answer -- I "REALLY" don't know. Because up until recently, I have been satisfied with my 508.24. So, I haven't auditioned any of... | |
