| Marantz SR6006 HDMI out to TV problem. Thanks for the suggestions so far. My hdmi cables are Monoprice high speed cables. Should I try a different brand? Have a 50 foot hdmi from monoprice that runs from the receiver to the bedroom. It seems to be fine.My planned approach is:1 Try a di... | |
| Which Would You Choose? If you don't have a problem with reconditioned you might want to check out accessories 4 less. They handle both denon and marantz in recon and new. Good service/pricing.Steve | |
| Blu ray upgrade? RealremoThanks for the thoughts.My thinking was that a much newer processor with the Dac60 converting dig to anal. might match or surpass the s/q of the dac+B&K Ref 20 (h/t processor) that I use now for 2ch. The ref20 2ch with dac60 was compar... | |
| New Receiver? Marantz SR-5005 Thanks,This is only the first step in my upgrade. Pre amp for 2 channel will come next. $'s will make it a slower process.Have looked at B&K but it does not offer what I am looking for in my price range.Using the ext dac my thinking is that on... | |
| Urgently need your input. I am in the process of sending the unit back. Reason I gave was "no longer want or need". I will try to send them another email detailing the risk/problems of this and other Onkyo products. No followup on the email I sent asking about the problem.... | |
| Urgently need your input. Thanks once again.The more I read and think about this the less confidence I have in the Onkyo. Beginning to think that even if it worked for years I would always have that thought in the back of my mind.Will be sending it back on Monday or Tuesda... | |
| Urgently need your input. Appreciate the input. Have sent onkyo support the question and hope to hear back sometime next week. Don't know if I can wait for them. Anxious!SandmanMay think about opening it up if they don't have any type seal that has to be broken. Feel sure ... | |
| Blu ray upgrade? Dbphd,Your thinking is right where mine is. Have been looking at receivers today.Considering Denon, Onkyo, Marantz (reading on some of the older units discussed Pop of Death). Can get decent units in the $500 range. Used as a pre in 2 channel with... | |
| Blu ray upgrade? Thanks to all!Seems the upgrade will benefit both video and audio. Will start watching for a deal on the oppo.Steve | |
| HDnet concerts on Dishnetwork? Watched "Trinity Sessions Revisited" last night. Much better. 5.1 placed me in the middle of their circle and direct had a little depth and seperation.Spinaker01After listening think you may be right. Concert to concert may be the problem. Just di... | |

| Proceed AVP? Thanks for the responses.Missing the first few notes on a cd is a deal breaker. Have been looking at older pre's thinking that I would wait for the formats to get sorted out befor buying into it. Guess for now I'll just continue with my current pr... | |
| Pacific Valve Dac 60...Tubes? ToufuThanks for the suggestion. Hadn't even considered the Jan Philips. Will be keeping an eye out for a pair. IggyminThe 7308's are a bit pricey but from what you describe it sounds like a buy it now or buy it later. Might be best to just skip th... | |
| Pacific Valve Dac 60...Tubes? A little more research shows the tubes to be Sovtek 6922's. Discussion reveals these are about the poorest of the 6922 so I am looking at a pair of Amperex ECC88 Holland A Frame Orange Labels. Just want to dip my toes into tube rolling so these wi... |
