Kain Posted July 23, 2001 Share Posted July 23, 2001 I was reading some user reviews of this receiver. I noticed that some were saying that there is hissing at certain volumes. Is this true? What are your opinions on this receiver? ------------------ Computer: AMD T-bird 1.0GHz@1.0GHz AOpen AK73 Pro 2x 128MB Mushkin High Performance REV3 222 IBM Deskstar 75GXP 30GB AOpen DVD-1640 Pro (16X DVD/40X CD) ATI Radeon 64MB DDR VIVO Hercules Game Theater XP Samsung SyncMaster 900IFT CSW DeskTop Theater 5.1 DTT3500 Digital Home Theater: TV: Sony KV-ES34M91 (34" FD Trinitron WEGA) DVD: Sony DVP-S9000ES Receiver: Sony STR-V555ES Speakers - Center: Klipsch RC-3 Mains: Klipsch RF-3 Surrounds: Klipsch RS-3 Subwoofer: Klipsch KSW-12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ben Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 I had two of the 555ES recievers and both hissed like you would not believe. They even hissed with nothing connected to them but my RF3, RC3, RC3. Sent them both back and got a Marantz SR19EX. What a product!!. NO HISS AT ALL. Fantastic Product.

avman Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 i have the strda-777es receiver and have noticed NO HISS, but current es receivers aren't made, imho, like mine-made in japan, not malasia, 62 lbs. vs. 40 lbs., etc. etc. MARANTZ-WELL MADE PRODUCT! if you can get marantz, i'd say make that one of your top choices, also yamaha. avman. ------------------ 1-pair klf 30's c-7 center sony strda-777ES receiver dishnetwork model 7200 dishplayer satellite receiver/digital bitstream recorder pioneer dvd player sharp 35"tv panamax max dbs+5 surge protector/power conditioner monster cable interconnects/12 gua.speaker wire surrounds and a 'teens sub coming! klipsch-so good it Hz!
