Polk Audio SurroundBar Speaker System (Single Speaker) - Titanium Review

I purchased the Polk Surroundbar with some trepidation, as it is an expensive leap of faith purchase due to the fact that I was unable to find a local Polk dealer with a showroom model to test. I thought the unit would be ideal in my TV room due to the fact that I refuse to drill holes in my hardwood floors to accomodate traditional 5.1 rear speakers.

Fit and Finish -

The Surroundbar arrived and I was immediately impressed with the integrity of the product packaging. The fit and finish of the bar itself is very impressive. The product is very heavy and solid, encased with a real metal finish, giving it a very hi-tech and sturdy appearance. In addition, the accessories included in the box (stand, mounts, cables) are of the highest quality and complement the surround bar nicely.

Performance -

When the system was initially set up, I thought it sounded ok. Then I further studied the set-up guide and found that the way my subwoofer was connected and some of the necessary settings on my receiver were incorrect. Instead of the standard RCA type sub connection, I rewired the sub to be in line via speaker wire to the 2 front connections as reccommended by Polk. Also, the speaker size needed to be set to large for all channels. (I've learned to ALWAYS follow the manufacturer's specifications!)

Once the adjustments were made, the sound was incredible. The first thing you notice is the overall power of the unit. The sound is huge and imposing. The surround effect is absolutely incredible both with DVDs and Xbox games. I now have almost a full 360 degree sound experience with distinct separation between all channels. Movies with DTS-ES 6.1 sound are a wonder to listen to. This system replaced a 3.1 full-size Onkyo speaker setup and sounds cleaner, more powerful and much better overall than the other full-size speakers ever did!

Conclusion -

I am completely satisfied with my purchase. I'm getting my demo material picked out so that I can invite my neighbors and buddies to come over and marvel at my new toy. It's expensive, but you get what you pay for with this product - no wires, no drilling holes in the floor, easy setup and excellent performance. Even my wife thinks it's cool!

MY HIGHEST RECOMENDATION.

FRET REST GTR MAINT SYS

FretRest FGMS Fret Rest Guitar Maint Sys Review

About 20 years ago when I worked in a music store, we had one of these for guitar repair, restringing, inspection, setup, etc. I think this was the first "guitar workstation" available, and when it came to deciding which one to buy for my home, the choice was easy. I figured if it withstood the use in the store for the 7 years I worked there, (never had to replace it), then it would be good for occasional use at home. I noticed there were others on Amazon that cost less, and maybe they're the same thing, but I chose not to take the chance.

The workstation is nice . . . everything stores nicely in the tube, the mat doesn't slide around, and it takes only a second to set up. It's convenient enough that you'll use it every time you restring and clean, and it's gold if you've got to do any kind of setup or repair. You can place your guitar face up or face down, acoustic or electric, and have no worries about scratching your finish. Well worth the investment if you play anywhere near regularly because it should last you forever. The only challenge is probably finding a clear spot to put it to do your guitar work . . . I move my mouse and keyboard and use my desk, but a kitchen table or counter top would do nicely, too.

The danger of this class of item is that it sounds like a good idea to make life easier, but then gets stashed in the corner and forgotten about, (like one of those Food Saver things, or other little gadgets you buy with good intentions and never use). This, however, will not befall that same fate or collect any dust whatsoever . . . you will use it EVERY time you have to do something to one of your guitars and wonder why you waited so long to buy one.

Product Feature

• Original Audio Technica Stylus
• Fits Audio Technica AT120E Cartridge
• .3 x .7 Elliptical Stylus

Product Description

This is the original stylus for Audio Technica model AT120E. But it will also fit on models AT103, AT125LC, AT130E, AT140LC and AT155LC.

Audio Technica ATN120E Stylus - Made by Audio Technica Review

The AT120E/T cartridge (previously AT120E) makes beautiful music and gets rave reviews, but much of its performance is due to this ATN120E stylus that is included with that cartridge. I replaced the heavy tracking force ATP2 DJ cart that came with my AT-LP120 turntable with an AT120E cartridge that includes this stylus. To me there was a improvement to the sound quality. Some vocals and instruments 'grated' on my ears with the original DJ cartridge, but were smooth and mellow with the new cart/stylus.

Shop around a little to save some $$; try 'turntableneedles', 'stereoneedles', 'lpgear', and 'moneyblows'. In any case, be sure that it is genuine AT as there are cheaper generic replacement stylus copies out there, very apparent if you browse the styli on 'moneyblows' and elsewhere.

Also check for the AT120E/T cartridge (also known as AT120E) that I have seen selling for a few dollars more than this stylus alone. That cartridge already includes this stylus, and getting the complete set is the most economical way to upgrade your phono from a cheaper so-so factory included cartridge and stylus (see my review of the cartridge).

By the way; if you don't know the stylus interchangeability for your cartridge, check 'stereoneedles' where photos and listings of the various styli are shown in interchangeability groups. This stylus is in group K, and any other stylus in group K will fit the same cartridge as this stylus. Also, 'turntableneedles' has several ways of searching to match stylus with cartridge, even the old or obsolete. I found both sites very helpful when researching to upgrade my turntable.

ADDED LATER: I recently upgraded my stylus from this ATN120E stylus to an Audio Technica AT125LC stylus (linear contact, purchased from 'moneyblows') and I noticed very slight improvement to my music over this ATN120E stylus. I was leary of ordering from a site with that name, but the transaction went well and the stylus arrived quickly and my total cost including shipping was a couple bucks less than this 120E is currently going for here. But I can no longer find that linear contact stylus since it is no longer made (did I get the last one?). So SHOP AROUND, and enjoy the music!

Yamaha RX-V765BL 665 Watt 7-Channel Home Theater Receiver

Yamaha RX-V765BL 665 Watt 7-Channel Home Theater Receiver Review

I had been looking at several of the Yamaha models through the spring of 2009, as well as its competitor's (Sony, Onkyo, Denon), for an upgrade of my ancient Sony receiver (one of the first Pro-logic receivers). I just installed a set of Definitive Technology Mythos speakers ordered through Amazon.com, including a power-hungry Mythos Three center channel. I wanted this receiver to be the core of my Home Theater as it's primarily use for improving my Sony Blu-ray and TiVo Series3 HD DVR experience.

Sports, such a baseball is vivid with the upscale feature from 1080i to 1080p (although it has not yet improved the performance of my Seattle Mariners). 1080i broadcast shows such as Chuck, both sound and look great.

The optional YDS-11SL iPod dock works well with both a 4th generation Nano and an 80G iPod Classic, including the videos.

What is worth the wait is the clean layout on the back, the heft of the discrete amp, and the Blu-ray friendly support with both the scene button and the Decoders for HD audio formats: Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. Yes they do make a difference in your home theater experience.

The audio calibration microphone works as advertised. Silent Cinema (headphone mode) is also a nice feature.

What could be improved - You need to keep the manual next to you for the first week to figure out some of the controls such as accessing all of the iPod controls with the dock. I was also sorry to see HD Radio(tm) missing from this "top of the mid-range" Yamaha's. The older RX-V863 has it, but this one doesn't. Also the four scene buttons are not programmable. I wanted to program the TV scene button for my TiVo (HDMI #2), no luck.

In the end, if you are looking for a quality receiver that performs well on both movies and music, and can drive your amp hungry speakers to their potential, look no farther that this RX-V765. It really was worth the wait.

Cabinet was received well packaged and in good condition. It is well constructed with solid wood. We ordered the Cherry finish which was much more "red" in actual product vs. color in picture...this is the only negative on the product.

JSC Wire 14 AWG Direct Burial Underground Speaker & Lighting Wire 500 ft. Review

I bought this wire to run indoors along a black open ceiling in a restaurant to power speakers. I priced different wires, but it was difficult to find a reasonable price on specifically a black wire. Although made for burying outside, it works well for my purpose, and appears to be the appropriate gauge as advertised.
