Hate this, I need an AV receiver. Help me choose
Slikric, I think what he is saying is that his new TV doesn't have variable outputs. I assume his TV does have outputs. With no variable he would have to adjust the volume on his preamp. If that doesn't have a remote, he has to get up to change th... 
Hafler 220a
The original 220 is a great little amp. I still have one. I bought it in about 1984. I still use it from time to time. They come up fairly often. You should be able to get one fairly cheap if you wanted to. 
"Brand New"...I don't think so
You are exactly right. I don't open boxes to take pictures of items I sell, or open them for inspection. If it's out of the box, I don't ever consider it "new". It could still be a "10", but not new. I'm a pretty trusting guy, but, I simply don't ... 
Mcintosh CD players vs. Wadia Cd Players
Give it up Burt. As soon as you mention you are a dealer, your opinion usually becomes worthless on here. (think back to the trust a dealer to put together a 10k system thread) Unless you recommend something you don't sell that is, which I actuall... 
Great single ended CD/SACD
**dealer disclaimer**I'm using an Arcam dv139 and really like it. To my ear it sounds basically like the cd37. 
thinking selling anthem statement p5 ideas?
***dealer disclaimer***Does it have to be a pre/pro and amp/amps? An Arcam AVR should fit the bill. It would need to be a high-end model for room correction though. 
Faceplates Silver or Black???????
Do you plan to listen, or look at it? All things being equal, I prefer silver. Its never a deciding factor for me though. I currently have both in my systems. 
Would you trust a local dealer to help you put
I'm surprised by how many people think that dealers are driven only by the profit margin. Everything except one CDP, and one pr of speakers, I bought from my local dealer. I walked in in 1985 to buy a particular speaker. He could have took my cash... 
Good DVD Concert?
Most of my favorites have been mentioned. Here are a few more.Clapton unpluggedClapton's Crossroads guitar festival. Filmed in TexasKiss unplugged 
For the sound, or?????
The way something looks is of no importance to me. I don't care if someone ran a grinder over the faceplate. I'm also not worried about the color of the piece. It can be silver, black, gold or purple and lime green. I only care about how it sounds... 
Sub? Can't Decide
You can get an eight inch psb for under $300, delivered to your door. Super musical subs, I'd go so far as to say amazing for the money. 
A mystery for you tech gurus out there
Marakanetz, that was one heck of funny response! Elizabeth, that would normally be good advice, but, if it's actually doing it with all those different inputs, it doesn't seem like it can be the source. Unlikely as it sounds, it could still be the... 
Are 'Thin-Tower' Speakers Voiced for HT?
I have 2 5.1 systems at home. In both cases, I've used speakers that were purchased originally for music. They work great for home theater. If a speaker can reproduce music,and good vocals, why would it not be able to do home theater? You might no... 
How many still listen to CD's daily.
I do every day. Its basically all I use, other than some satellite. I'll always have one. 
wall mounts?
The Omni mounts are awesome. I have one like you need on the plasma in my bedroom. They aren't cheap, but, I've never seen one that was made better.
