I'm probably late to the discussion here, but I see this brought up by a lot of people. Really though, it just illustrates how little most people know about taxes in the United States. If you actually want to learn more - read this article, it does a much better job than I ever could of...
I say yes, sign it. I work in the tech industry and I ask my clients to sign an NDA before revealing anything on our roadmap, it's common industry practice. I know there's some questionable language in the NVIDIA agreement, but it's in there, like some others have said, to prevent questionable...
The only thing that concerns me about the Marantz is the huge number of broken units for sale out there. A quick search turns up dozens of units on various forums and ebay for sale where the seller is stating that Marantz didn't honor the warranty or some such. The Yamaha RX-S series doesn't...
This thing looks crazy. I'm tempted to get one just to see what it actually does, but the only place I could find one it was $450 and really shady reviews.
The Marantz is probably the way to go unless someone with a SoundBlaster X7 using a 5.1 setup can actually show me how that's...
The Dared thing looks really interesting, but sketchy website and pictures. What the heck does the back of this thing look like?!
Someone earlier mentioned the Marantz 1506, which I've been doing some more homework on. I'm currently leaning in that direction. It's affordable, and has a ton...
Interesting idea, but I'm struggling to understand how it would be cabled up to PC and to drive my current speakers. My stuff is more typical to home audio than PC speaker setup (where I would assume that the sub has all the other audio outputs baked in), and I was starting to get my heart set...
Currently correct, but only because I recently had to move my desk. Once I get cabling re-done they'll be back on the bookshelves behind me where they belong. Right now it doesn't matter too much since I'm only getting stereo output anyway.
I'm thinking there is consensus that a receiver is...
This is more and more what I'm finding. It sounds, on paper, like it should be something that is doable, but obviously hasn't for a reason.
Here's those pictures, just so you can see what I'm currently dealing with. Looks like I'll need to make some space for another piece of hardware :mad...
Dimensions are not necessarily a requirement, it just surprised me that there weren't more offerings that aren't basically a full sized receiver. The current unit stands on it's side and doubles as a headphone stand. I should just post a picture, that might make it easier.
That sums it up pretty well. The sub is powered, so I'm good there. I've got an old Yamaha RX-V2700 that I could easily use, but it would be massive overkill. I figured that there would be something available for PC users who want an upgraded sound over crappy powered PC speakers, but don't...
So it's been a while since I've had to do this and I thought for sure there would be more options, but I'm hitting a wall. So I've got and older Cambridge Audio 5.1 system (the small Minx predecessor) and they're fine for my needs, so I'm not in need of new speakers or sub. For years I've been...
