  1. I've decided to quit school and devote myself to becoming a full time cactus.

    If I may ask.

    What did you use for paint and how well has it held up? I have xpa-1's and other Emotiva gear all with gen 1 silver trim and thinking about changing it to black trim.

    Couldn't tell you as I bought it that way. I'm the second owner of each. The paint job looks to be really well done though. I can't tell that it's paint.

    Okay, a demonstration of ignorance here, but what the hell ... using my Denon strictly as a power amp, would connecting the toslink from my TV to my old AVR actually work or is it just gimmicky junk:

    Are you talking about using your TV as a redistribution for HDMI signals to TOSLINK?  If so, then technically yes.  Just be aware that TOSLINK's transfer rate and bandwidth is much more limited than HDMI.  It will still pass straight Dolby Digital and straight DTS, or straight 2-CH Matrix.

    When I saw your initial post, I thought it was $600 for BOTH amps. :lol:

    Be patient, tax refunds are just around the corner !

    Consider listing them on the Emotiva site if not done already.

    They're up there.  But I'm fried on the Emotiva Lounge.  I have my reasons, but I don't want to spill out the drama here.  At any rate, I'm in no super rush to sell, I actually hooked one back up to my RB-5 heights.  I'll sit on them until they have somewhere else to go.

    Solicitation is also grounds for banishment based on who you offer to service. Pick the wrong one and you're outta here!

    Expect to be reported then.

    geez, you trying to get this thread deleted too making comments like that.  Jim provided two bottles of very excellent wine to my relative on my behalf. Which was very kind and i appreciated.  Then he went rogue -- but i hope he is doing well. 

    So what you're saying is that Jim is a bribemaster.  If so, I am deeply hurt and offended that I have yet to be offered anything for my services.
