Bear with me as I give a little piece of history to set this up. After scoring speakers (and amps) from the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago nearly two years ago, I'd decided to re-create their setup up to 2009 in my theater room (they went IMAX in 2010...) That said I'm ready to...

Had a weird problem with the HK AVR 7300 and it got me thinking about taking the system further towards component level gear. I'm guessing it would basically be a preamp/switched control center, HDMI/ Optical/Component/etc. ins and outs, perhaps with all the usual DVD decoding functionality...

The Sony XDR-F1HD has excellent analog performance. It has a hot, selective front end, and even on analog signals, got rid of my horrendous multipath problems (I live in Manhattan.) Used to have to move my antenna for every station to minimize multipath distortion. Now, one position of the ...

I couldn't resist the lure of a Soundcraftsmen A100 MOSFET amplifier and P100 preamplifier still NIB. So today I drove over to Anaheim, next to Santa Ana, CA the old home of Soundcraftsmen, to take a look and make the deal. $234 later I was on my way back home with the boxes in the back of the...

Hi All, I recall a thread about this sometime in the recent past where an unfamiliar (to me at least) new player was recommeded. It was a US company (I think) and the player had a rather unusual look to it. I think it had a brushed aluminum faceplate and some blue LED lighting if memory serves....
