| Can't see menu on Denon 5308 Most menu systems are output thru the S-Video or Composite connections. Double-check those connections, especially if you're using the S-Video - they're notorious for backing out a bit and breaking the connection...-RW- | |

| Is it Amps, Preamps, cables, etc. OR Technology??? Dude,You're a lucky guy, spend 150k and end up with a receiver! That's one of the best stories I've ever heard. Good on ya, I'm glad it worked out the way it did. I guess I better take a look at one of those Onkyos. I did buy an Onkyo receiver for... | |
| Have you used a high end PC on your DVD or Pre-Pro I used a very nicely home-made Audio Asylum recipe power cord that Dave Pogue had laying around. It uses nice, thick Belden cable and high-quality connectors on either end. The IEC end fits snugly, very nice. I used it to power my Denon 3910 DVD p... | |
| Pre-Pro Suggestions? I have a Harman/Kardon Signature 2.0 pre-pro gathering dust in my family room. I could put that in your hands for $275 + shipping. Research it and read the reviews, this used to be a $2400 pre-pro and was worth every dime of it. It sounds terrific... | |

| Buying a 10 years old loudspeaker "up till now..."So, the speakers were buried in a corn field? It's not "till", it's properly spelled "until". If you're going to be pedantic, it's best you be correct in your postings, too...-RW- | |
| Best DIY tweak? A good ear cleaning and some of British Columbia's finest exports would top my list.Oh yeah, a nubile 20 year old hottie to snuggle up to would improve the experience, too. Just don't tell my wife...-RW- | |
| NAD C372 & Gallo Ref 3.1 Electroid wrote:"Amps that are ballsy double their RMS power from 8 to 4 ohms and then again at 2 ohms. The NAD doesn't come close. Note the specs on the NAD page talk about its "dynamic power" at 4 and 2 ohms and even that doesn't come close to d... | |
