yeah guess i am a unlucky one.
i ordered a pair of vacuum tubes for my amp ~ it cost 156 pounds not included shipping. the pictures & descriptions shows that its new old stock & perfect working condition.

it arrive and i plug it into the amp ~ a loud burst sound occur due to there is air particles collided with the electrons in the bulb. this is also due to the item is used till the end of the life. not a good experience buying frm ebay at all.

yeap but no action was taken. he is a power seller & many good ratings : 1000 + , bad : 30+

With the existance of BDs, i am looking for a AV receiver.. as the existing LCD loudspk sound is practically blur & lack of bass.
i ended up with two(2) models of Yamaha AV receiver which is RX-V1800 / RX-V861. anyone here using the above models ?

thanks for the recommendation.
v1800 is quoted 4200 while v861 is 2600. price difference is 1600 ~ one is able to support DTS-HD while the other is not. one is able to upscale to 1080p while the other 1080i only. since the current lcd which i am using support till 1080i only, most probably i'll go for v861. is there any other special feature on the v1800 ?

i agree with the v1800 being the future proof. as the development goes, each year there is a new format~ as manufacturer like yamaha replaces their model yearly.

infact, DTS-HD is very new and one of the reason its pricey. i m thinking with the savings of 1600 i may replace the AV receiver in 3 years as i believe the AV receiver has both the feature which upscale to 1080p & DTS-HD price will decreases over time.

i am kinda noob at this AV thingy....pls enlightened me...after getting the AV receiver we still need a set of speakers right? doesnt diff type of speakers affect the sound as well?? can i say tat diff combination of speakers + receivers create diff sound output? then how do u match n combine the best sound produced??

yes, you will need a set of speakers. you must always take note of impendance matching between the amp & speaker.. for AV receiver its normally 6/8 ohm. car audio 4 ohm and home stereo 8/16 ohm.
low impedance spker is always easier to be driven by a amp but not recommended if you're using a high power AV amplifier. there are lots to be learn in audio ~ from amp, speaker, power filter , cabling , room treatment n ...
altho you've all the expensive gears and etc, but you don't know how to position it, it will sounds like cheap gears. alot to be learnt in audio ~ i actually gave up this hobby some years ago.

2600 is quoted frm A&L Audio. 2800 quoted frm Desa HT for V861. V1800 .. Desa HT quoted 4200 and Harvey Norman quoted 4300.

i am still scouting for the Onkyo SR605 b4 i make my decision. can PM me if you know to find one ? i heard there s a shoppe in SS2 specialize in Onkyo products ?

desa HT previously carried them and they've stopped.
A&L , CMY don't carry them as well.

that's what i heard also.. if betw. Onkyo & Yamaha, they will suggest Yamaha if the price difference is not 2 much with the same features.

i am eyeing for this title as well.
is celine dion confirm performing concert here over in m'sia ?

the price has been decreased to 14.95 .. so tempting
gotta saved up for v1800

i am eagerly waiting for her concert in our shore ! the tickets is yet to be available.

rats & open season .. MUST GEt ! sapu both.

After several specs comparision & sound listening session .. the Yamaha V1800 is definately the killer. the background is indeed very queit and the music is clear & transparent when playing Eagles as demo. Next, demo'ed gladiator with DTS .. in the beginning chapter of the war scene, sound of the arrow is so real that you can feels as if its flying across you. Eventually i am back with not empty handed this time. which model ? you go figure it out.

aiman, do you think can make it for hitman release ?
