Worst news. He was a fantastic guy, right to the end. Death be not proud. Who's going to make us cables now. Sincere condolences to his family.

Wishing you a full recovery, Carl.

Fight with them. Seems their latest software is breaking stuff. I thought it was my decoder. Extra View (4U decoder) had the dreaded error about three weeks ago without any changes having been made on my side. I sat on the phone with someone trying many things, it wouldn't even scan as it...

Grew up on an overdose of music due to our uncles' involvement in the industry but sound quality was never a big thing. It was a combination of music and a system that swung me. Campus days ('92) I walked into a sound shop and they made me listen to this album. Proton + KEF was the sytem. ...

At a loss for words. I did not expect this. Sincere condolences to family and friends. World is losing a lot of cream.

I agree. I couldn't be upset after that. We were baffled about what the coloured rocks were though but an answer came quick from #2, "Oh I know what that is...play dough", Me: "Ini?" But yep, it's super dry play dough.

My son is 7 now and two weeks ago when I had a sit down to listen I noticed the left speaker sounded a bit weird. So, I took off the grill cover and discovered some serious poking had taken place since I last had the covers off (December 2017). Exhibit A So I summon the two older ones up and...

One recent news item suggests (in hindsight) that Onkyo cutting ties with Gibson possibly led to this Chapter 11 filing. https://www.channelnews.com.au/onkyo-cuts-ties-with-gibson-brands-philips-supply-chain-falters/

I would so like a cherry LCR 600 S3 like my speakers. That's a LCR6 S2 in the picture...and it's black ash. Soundwise, it's a better match for the 602s than LCR60 S3 but colour is meh....and the yellow cones are more like orange cones.

You don't say  ;D. The back is indeed a cable mess as well as what is currently visible. I've just put up the TV screen three weeks ago and the HT amp has been missing for a year and a bit. I'll also feel a little bit better once I've tidied up. I love the imaging of smaller speakers too.

Long time no member's kit pic. Now 15 years with the 602s3.

Tried to get a pair of legs/stand for a Sinotec recently. They don't keep spare ones. They can give me one from a returned unit, had to take my contact details and put me on the the waiting list. I'm not the first owner and the TV is a UHD unit from 2015. No wonder they just swap things out...

Sweet room, Timbaland.

Nice house. You can bet the owner loves everything inside it and I suspect that's all that matters.

Very sad to read this. May his family find comfort and strength in this difficult time.
