can I ask you guys something... I was at the atique dealer the other day, and he's got a huge basket of old tubes sitting by the front door with a sign in it... 5 bucks a tube. is that somethign I should be looking to grab? how do you know if a tube is good or burnt? most of them are sitting loose, but a few are still in there original box. I dont know much about the tube scene

well bully for you []

thanks guys... I had been trackign that onkyo 1000 already on the bay but I dont need all the universal capability. I have a PS3 already, and many of you are probably saying, why do you need a cd player then... I just want something that stands alone as a unit that the wife can operate, doesn;t cost to much, and has a warm analog sound.

I want to buy a CD/SACD player in the sub 300 range. I am looking at quite playback, high resolution and a warm tone... any suggestions? I have read some good reviews about the Onkyo C-S5VL which does it all but I have heard that it is rather clinical. It's going ot be run throough a Pioneer SC35

In for more YES talk... I am happy with my remastered CD's from japan... I could not imagine a 180gram lp

never heard of it... and not really sure I want to. [] now if you can get me a copy of Dave Drubeck playing Jimi Hendrix we'll talk.

For sale by any chance? []

just a quick question about two subs... there isa guy locally that has a rw10 and a rpw10 for sale... which is a better sub and why please? I've never run a sub in my system, and I would rather have it geared towards music than movies. I've read the technical specs, and they appear to be quite different. I prefer a very tight sound versus a booming sound thanks

tell me where they are... i will goover and get them and sell them to you if they are good if not I will keep them

hmmm... not for me.

damn... I just started a new thread in general... my bad. anyone have any other used audio sources?

tried to view audiogon website... nothing. is anyone else having issues?

I'd say give 'em a try each way and let your ears decide. that's the one thing about the mid/upper Onkyo's, listening settings can be so daunting because they the choices are vast

TY sir... I to love matched components.

May I ask why you/anyone suggests a Onkyo over a pioneer elite? the 3008 is about 200 bucks more than a sc35. so they are both about the same in pricing. is there something worng with the sc35 that I should know about?

Thanks you guys... I was toying with the idea of getting the new Onkyo m-5000r when it hits our shores. I would be combing this with either a Pioneer sc35 or a onkyo nr3008, I am justr aboutto purchase one or the other. I would assume they both have pre outs.

Can anyone tell me how you would use(or if you would even use) an amplifier inline with a integrated reciever? Iunderstand that you would use a pre amp to control an amplifier, but can you use a IR to do the same? howwould you wire/hook it up?

nirvana... how awesome!

Things like this ACQUISITION always end up being ruined by the bean counters... those little fellows are always under pressure to increase margins. what is the first thing to go when increasing margins? Quality.It starts out, well this won't hurt the product very much... then it's this little bit here doesn't seem to effect the sales... next thing you know, it is a completely different item based simply on costing. I try to be positive, but the track record for such business decisions does not bode well for the end users that have come to know and love a brand. Branding is really a difficult thing to build... what klipsch has can not be bought. UNLESS you are Audiovox. this is take years, and there will be some positives that come out of it, but slowly the juice will be squeezed out... the lemon will run dry and the rind will be tossed out with the trash, or sold off once again... in name only. In name only is all we will have left after this purchase goes through.

I am just curious... Where is the Audiovox/Klipsch Aquasition Discussion? anyone with any knowledge on this subject, please post up.

I dont read any reason to stop buying Klipsch in any of those posts above... maybe just stop buying custom 3's

because it would be pretty obscene for this to happen at the levels normal earnphones produce. I would suggest that its NOT the ear phones, but your unit that is sending to much electricity... either that or your ears are somply tickling from the excellence of audio reproduction... :-P

interesting stuff... subscribed. I can lend some credence to the flash vs HD topic. I just got a new ipod touch and compared to an old gen ipod with an HD it's night and day difference. My touch with headphones is uber quite and sounds wonderful
