Awsom71

I paid $320 for the unit with shipping cost included($60.00) I haven't tried the master reset yet like Gnote suggested ...only because it took quite a bit of time to go through the complete system setup program. If it gets to be a pita for me and I have the extra time - I'll give that a shot. Other than that I like the unit very much ...it definetly has enough *** for making my Belles sound great.

There is no dimmer switch on the main unit ...just the remote. And the dimmer on the remote only changes the dim level on the remote, not the main unit.

Yes ...it's the RC969 Remote.

Went to page 68 in the manual and tried what it describes ... It only changes the backlight on the remote and not the main unit.

It seems that no matter what mode it is in the display goes off after a couple seconds. The only way to visually see that it is powered on is by the green glow around the power on button. When it's off - it turns red.

After just purchasing my AVR-3805 and getting everything setup yesterday ...one of the things I'm not fond about is the display on the front of the unit goes out after 2-3 seconds after a function was performed or volume was turned up, etc. I have looked through the manual twice and can't find anywhere where it explains how to enable the display to stay lit and not turn off. Anyone have one of these awesome sounding AVR's with the same issue ? Is there a setting I just can't figure out or find ? Any help is greatly appreciated. Butch

That's a hell of a deal on that GTP600 .... I have one that I use for 2 channel in my garage on my LaScalas and it is an awesome preamp. Good luck with the sale ...

The Yamaha HTR that wasn't cutting it is being replaced. Awaiting my Denon AVR5803 to arrive sometime this coming week from the NYC area. Those Belles are hungry - but I just can't go for the tube equipment just yet. Maybe in a few months I'll be looking for some nice McIntosh goodies.

Here we go ...

I will post pics as soon as I get the room finished and organized. Right now everything is disconnected and the wife wants to kill me.

Selling the Heresys and DX7's if anyone is interested ...they're both like brand new without any marks and sound perfect.

The search is over ...I've been looking for a long time and finally found a pair just down the road from me. (No Shipping) After I hooked them up in my living room and replaced my Heresys - I found that the Yamaha AVR I've been using just don't cut it. Looking for a nice AVR - any suggestions that would work good for my setup ? Trying not to go to an amp/preamp setup, but will if I have to. Right now I have a Cerwin Vega center channel and two Cerwin Vega subs with two Cerwin Vega rears.

Enough said ... As far as a Mustang blowing away my Corvette ...now that is another story all together. That there be fightin' words ! Thanks guys and have a great Christmas.

I have a guy at work that is selling a pair of Polks and tells me that they would blow my LaScalas away ... I have never heard a pair of these before and just wondering if he is blowing wind or are these as awesome as he says. I'm just curious ...being that he is asking $500 for the pair and I'm seriously thinking of buying another pair of LaScalas in the next week or two.

Normally I would agree with you but .... I spend the majority of my time in the garage ! The wife and daughters spend the majority of their time in the livingroom !

In reading this post ...I went into my itunes library and noticed that 95% of my music was at 256kbps. Is that where it should be ? If not, how would I change it without having to download over 1000 songs all over again ? I am fairly new to this whole deal - but noticed that some music played back from my ipod touch sounds much different from other tracks. As an example: I downloaded the Fleetwood Mac Rumours cd onto my ipod touch and the volume is much decreased than other tracks - what is the deal with that - it is at 256kbps as well Any thoughts ???

Correct ...my mistake. It is an ADC. Yes you can find a ton of stuff when you google "soundshaper" but there isn't anything for the actual 910 model. I know if was manufactured in 1990 - and that's about it.

I have a ADM Soundshaper 910 Automatic Computerized Equalizer / Analyzer Looking for the operators manual for this specific unit. I have tried searching on this unit and can't come up with anything. Does anyone have any ideas where I might find this ? Here's a picture of the unit.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes guys ! I gotta tell you though ... I'm not hearing as huge of a difference from the Cerwin Vega DX-7 I just swapped out for the Heresys that I thought I was. Maybe I need to upgrade my Yamaha home theater receiver .... Also, anyone have another way of verifying the age of my LaScalas other than the serial no. ? The serial no. are so faded off the tag that you can't read it. The person I bought them from 5 years ago told me he was the original owner and had purchased them in 1978.

Although sometimes I am cautious of Craigslist .... I had some extra time yesterday surfing around and came across a guy that was selling a complete audio system for $500.00 What caught my eye was the word KLIPSCH in the description of items he was selling. I contacted him to find out the speakers he was including in his sale were a pair of Heresys. Of course I wasn't interested in the other items at all and asked if he was interested in selling the speakers seperately. He said for the right price he would let them go. When I arrived to take a look at the speakers they were in pristine condition. Serial no. 8422105 and 8422106 (if someone could verify for me - but I believe they were built in 1984) He wasn't able to hook them up so that I could take a listen - but in looking at these I thought what the hell I'll take the chance. I offered him $200.00 and he agreed and took the cash. When I got home to hook these up - they sounded just as I remembered them sounding like from 20 + years ago. They don't have the kick in the chest feeling as the LaScalas I have in my toy garage ....but well worth the $200.00. I replaced the (2) Cerwin Vega DX-7 speakers I had setup for my home theater with these Heresys. Now just looking for a set of stands for them.
