FS: SVS, Sennheiser cans and Canon Digicam

[izafar]

This following stuff is getting no use lately & I need to offload them to generate funds for future turntable purchase.

SVS PB10ISD Charcoal Black
Bought this here Criverajr about six months ago. This has gotten little use lately as I no longer watch that much movies and dont use this for 2CH listening. It is in very good condition with no visible marks.
I have the original SVS double box packing. I will also include the bettercables sub cable with it.
$old to GWH

Sennheiser HD 590
I have these for a year and it is in very good condition.
$old to danger boy

Canon A95 5MP digicam
This is also a year old and saw very little use since I got the Nikon D50 DSLR. You can get the details here:

I have original packing and this will come with 512MB CF card.

[danger boy]

coolness... i just sent you one back with my info. :D

[izafar]

Great, this knocks one off the list. Sub and camera still available

[MrNightly]

I'm interested in that Camera... the wife wanted to know how well it takes pictures on the go... she wants one that will handle for kids that are active!

Let me know!

[gwh]

How much to ship the sub to 73505? I'm not sure of the weight or the box dimensions.

I'll take the camera if it's not sold to Mr. Nightly.

One of the important features for Kids photography is less shutter lag. In this regards this camera fares very well in compact point&shoot category (see page 4 of the review). But if you really like to capture impromptu snaps of kids (specially infants & toddlers) you should look at a DSLR camera. The down side of DSLR is that are bulky, less user freindly (for wifes) and are costy.

One other feature I like in this camera is swing and tilt LCD screen. This allows me to position the LCD in a way that I can hold the camera low to take Kids picture. This avoids bending down and getting down on kness for talking pictures of small children.

I have taken good pictures of my kids using the camera but has moved to DSLR mainly due to shutter lag issues.

Hi,

The shipping would be $37 to this zip code. The sub weighs 60lbs and had dim of 15"x19"x21"

thanks

I'll chime in here, too, still giving nightly every opportunity in the world to say he wants this.

I wanted to get an Axx camera last year and my wife flat out refused once she held one at the store. She would only consider cameras from the sd line. From my experience I learned that this camera isn't all that small or light by a woman's standards. However, I think the canon elph's are too small for a man's hands.

I can't hide the fact that I'd like to have the camera, but from your post I thought there could be some value in pointing out my experience.

By all means, feel free to claim it, you asked about it first and it's a good price and a good camera.

K. Let me run it by the wife and see if it's what she wants. I'll let you know today.

Thanks.

That's an awesome camera and a really great price. I've got the PowerShot 75 and it takes killer photos.

[MrNightly]

She said no, because it was AA battery run, and not chargeable battery. Is this something to really be bothered with?

I'll pass on this one... (arg...) and we'll see what I can dig up.

[audiobliss]

Not in my opinion. I have an older Cannon Powershot, and I just use rechargeable Energizer AA's in it. That's really better than a camera with some proprietary rechargeable battery, cause say she's at some ultra-important, special event taking pictures and...:eek:...the batteries aren't charged! Well, either she ends up not taking any photos at all, rushing out and buying a (expensive, hard to find) proprietary battery, or buying a disposable camera.

If only the camera used AA batteries, she could've just taken out the rechargeables to charge later (complaining to you about them not being charged...of course it'll be your fault ;)) and popped in some regular AA's. Seems to be the best of both worlds to me.

:)

[jawhog]

Nightly, as I predicted from my experience, AA batteries equal heavy, which in turn equal no WAF. Although you can certainly use rechargeable batteries as AB pointed out. For my wife's elph, which uses the specialized battery, we just picked up a second battery and it's small enough that she just keeps it in the bag.

Iz/Nightly, confirm that I'm up.

[audiobliss]

I didn't even think of the weight of AA's. I guess those proprietary batteries are lighter.

It's all you J.

Just sent you PM for this.

Camera Sold to Jawhog. Only the sub is pending now. This is good progress for my turntable rig, I have already ordered the phono preamp, and with the sale of sub I will get the table itself.

[MrNightly]

Iz/Nightly, confirm that I'm up.

jawhog,

Just wanted to say thanks for the well mannered way this transaction was handled. First come, first serve. Very noble of you to wait until I had passed... that's the way it's meant to be.

Keep it up!

[gwh]

PMer sent on the sub.

the Sennheiser HD 590's arrived today.. i thought the box was empty.. it was so light ;) but it wasn't. the headphones are minty fresh new looking. They sound really, really good. best headphones i've ever own.. or heard for that matter.

thanks izafar

Shack if you are still keeping score. add one very big positive transaction from izafar to Danger boy.

[jawhog]

Camera arrived today two days after payment.
Might as well be brand new as far as I can tell and Izafar still had all the original packaging.
Haven't had a chance to try it out, need to pick up some batteries.
Thanks Izafar! Great transaction.

[izafar]

I am happy the Camera arrived safely, you will like the pictures too.

You should get rechargeable battery pack from walmart/radiohsack. A kit consisting of 8 cells and a charger would cost you around $20, but would be a good investment to go with the Camera. The other benefit of using rechargeable cells is that they allow you to take more snaps as compared to normal cell.

The PB-10 seems to have some electrical issues, makes a big thump noise out of the blue (no its not bass thump), and shuts down for no reason at low and moderate listening levels.... and I think I just heard it fart again (receiver is turned off, sub switch is in the on position.

I've double checked all my electronics and even slid the sub from my bedroom and daughters room in it's place and had no problems.

Looking for a refund or a replacement amp.

Bump

[izafar]

I am sorry to hear this. The sub was working fine before I packed it. I am sending you a PM for next steps.

Thanks,

I have just sent a mail to SVS tech support seeking there help in identifying the root cause of the issue. I have copied you on the mail. Based on there diagnostic I will buy the replacement part and have it shipped to you.

[gwh]

izafar,

Whatever was going on has seemed to clear up, I've had my rig powered on and playing non stop all night and through this afternoon with no problems.
Thank you for contacting SVS support.

Damn nice little sub!

Thanks,
G

[izafar]

Great, I am glad it is working fine now. Maybe Tom's diagnosis was right on that it was something to do with the interconnects. Whenever you get a chance do try different sub cables.

thanks.
