Bring back the draft! That would set many of our youth straight.

Enjoying my gear and making the world a better place.

Some things never change.

For satire to work, there has to be plenty of truth to it. This satire works exceedingly well!

Onkyo has always been overrated from my experience and the H-K has been underrated.
Does your H-K receiver run cooler than your Onkyo did?

Exactly, they and others of similar mind have been in public office for years. What they have said is consistent with their beliefs since they have been in office. They are favorites of the...

There is a lot more to this story that the mainstream media is not reporting. Yes, what else is new?
Unfortunately the two subjects are not alone in their thinking.
Their affliction has become a...

That is what I've found. I've been running two LSiC's side be side on my main system for several years now. Each speaker is powered by its own separate amp channel with the amp inputs receiving a...

A lot of AVR manufacturers have eliminated pre-amp outputs and/or 12v triggers as they have added HDMI and ethernet connectivity on their mid-level gear. With the costs and economics involved,...

Do the newer Onkyo receivers still overheat as they did in the past?
I would check that out before purchasing one.
My last Onkyo receiver failed due to over heating and was replaced by an HK...

Welcome to Club Polk. Yes the XPA-3 will do the job. I have been using several different Emotiva XPA series amps to power my several Polk Audio LSi speakers to my great satisfaction for several years...

You can definitely control the volume from an external preamp, integrated amp or receiver so the DAC without a volume control would not be necessary for those cases. In your previous post, you...

Nothing wrong at all. Perfectly good cables and other products are often sold for big discounts when a supplier decides they want to clear out stock.
I purchased most of my cables that way.
There...

From all reports, Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100 is a great DAC and the cable you selected will work fine, but do you really need 8ft of cable for your setup? Additionally, I don't believe the DacMagic...

That cable should work.

The USB DACS that draw power from the laptop don't draw very much. It has never been a problem for me.

The Emotiva XDA-2 is larger, more expensive and requires a...

Check what sort of outputs your sound card has. Does it have stereo or multichannel outputs? Fiber or analog?
They usually have a 3.5mm (1/8") stereo output as a minimum. In that case, you could use...

Welcome to Club Polk. I recently purchased a pair of MEElectronics AF32 bluetooth wireless headphones for $50.
You can find them on Amazon and ebay.

They do work well, light and comfortable to...

Welcome to Club Polk. Bi-amping with a receiver can make a difference, perhaps not so much for sound, but for reducing the probability that a receiver will go into overload protection. That is what...

The XPA-2 is fine, but get yourself a pair of XPA-1's and you can really crank them up. My RTi12's sound so good with them for music and HT!

Does the sub dance across the floor now?

You have got to be kidding! Cables are a serious subject around here. Some have invested a significant sum of money and perhaps a more significant amount of time on cables and research on cables....

A pair of Monitor 40's sound quite good with a HK3490.

I own three of these stereo units and they were all fine. The store may have received a bad run of units which can happen from time to time with any manufacturer.

A second sub should definitely give you more deep bass. I run multiple subs on my systems and am very pleased with the results.
It also can add to the visual symmetry of your system which is always...

With HT you need to power your center channel at least equivalent to your front speakers. That is why the XPA-3 is a better choice in terms of performance and cost. The surrounds can be handled by...
