Integra 9.8 video comes and goes?
I have been down that road. It's time to throw it in the garabage and get a new one. The hdmi board is toast. It will cost you over $1000 to get it fixed and it will take forever to get it back. Buy a Integra 80.2 or 80.3 and move on. The sound/vi... 
Pioneer Blu Ray Player BDP 05 FD
So an Oppo 93 or a Oppo 95 will sound better and have better picture quality than the Pioneer 05 using hdmi? I don't use analog out. 
audio Research REF 110 and KT 120 tubes
How about putting one of these KT 120 tubes in the Ref 3 power supply location? I would think that would make for an improvemnt in an already great preamp. They will be available sometime this year, correct? 
Arc Ref 3 tubes
I suppose that could be. It is on a four season porch where it gets down to about 60 degrees during the night and 75 degrees during the day. I never play it when it's 60 degrees on the porch however. I guess if it was a bad tube I would hear it th... 
Integra DTC 9.8 and DHC 9.9 Processors Firmware
What you need to do is turn on the Integra and then you need to press display and the on/off button at the SAME time on the unit itself. I am told. 
Arc Ref 3 Integra 9.8 XM Radio
I control the XM volume using my Integra Processor not the Ref3. I am using the processor input on the Refs as of now for XM Radio. It is the same method as when listening to movies through the processor input of the Ref3. I'm trying to figure out... 
Favorite HDMI cable under $100/M?
Has anyone compared the Pangea HDMI to the BetterCables Silver Serpent HDMI? I have the Silver Serpent, but have never tried the Pangea one. I too am using the Audioquest HDMI-3. Maybe it is time for a switch and save some money. 
Dolby True HD vs. DTS HD
I see the original post has been robbed. Let's see now, what was the original question asked? 
Integra DTC 9.8 and DHC 9.9 Processors Firmware
There are 415 pages for the dtc 9.8 on the avsforum thread alone. I kinda would like to cut to the chase and know if the answer is version 1.7 or whatever it may be. Instead of reading through all that. 
Aftermarket power cable for power conditioner?
Has anyone tried a different power cord from the wall to a Furman IT Reference 15i? 
Mods for ARC preamp / amp
I think Elizabeth summed it up just right. I don't think I would want somebody besides ARC messing around with my $10,000 component. I own the REF 3>REF 110>CD 7 combo. 
Are lossless Codec's worth upgrading my processor
I have an Audio Refinement Pre2DSP Processor. It does DTS decoding, but not the new formats such as DTS HD etc.. I have a Pioneer BDP-05FD bluray player. It is supposed to decode all of the formats internally in this player. Is it correct to say t... 
Audio Research Amp/Pre matching
Ditto on the REF 3 upgrades? I never heard about this. Does this mean I can send mine into ARC for an update/upgrade like the CD 7 power supply upgrade they offered a while back? 
ARC Ref 3 bad tube?
No, the problem then was bad PRP resistors in the ARC Ref 110 amp. ARC used a different kind of resistor at one time and then switched to a different style. I sent the amp into them and they fixed that problem and gave it a full check up. That is ... 
A good 5 channel Amp? Help
Audio Refinement Multi 5. You can probably get one for around $1000 or less used. Lots of great detailand neutral just like you are looking for. It is almost tube sounding but yet a solid state amp. Great bang for the buck! I got this when I switc...
