Nick:

Psyched that you are and real relieved that you share my enthusiasm for its sound.  Enjoy!

(the fluffer comment was due to my feeling that I was fluffing the hell out of it)

thanks Nick, I really appreciate you taking the time to do these hi-fi reviews...

Darrin - did you buy from Doug too?

[dnsacks]

Yep -- actually dealt with Jim, but same deal -- do a froogle.com search and I'm sure the oades will come in @ the same price.  They sent it to me double boxed, bulletproof packaging.

going to have to sell the NAD first but I think this box might be just what I'm looking for.

I just got one of these my self in fact it arrives Fri the 27th ,Im hoping it will take me that much closer to injecting Garica directly into my BRAIN.

At the moment I'm torn between the harman kardon avr 230 and the strda2000... has anyone heard both of these?  any pros and cons of either model would be very helpful.

Nick I just spent some time on your page, big old T for that.  cool page!
When's the review for the Vinnie mod Toshiba?

[Nick's Picks]

i cant really review the vinnie mod Toshiba.
because....
since i've had it modified, i've got an entirely new stereo behind it so I dont know whats what for "new sound" out of it.
besides, i'm only using it as a transport, and the mods were only to the chasis (dampening) and the power supply.

it sounds damn nice to me, but i'm comparring it to the memory of my last "known good' transport.

The kind fedex man just dropped off my new 3000es, courtesty of the Oade Bros.      Looks like I'll be spending a nice evening of hooking up wires.

Have fun

-- the onscreen setup of speaker size/type/location is key (imho) -- get that tape measure ready.

When you do this, how big is the sweet spot?  If you are using dimensions measured to the inch, it seems like that would force you into a small area where sound is best.  Just wondering.
