Thanks Andrew, I've been wanting to try out a Harmony remote for a quite a while, to compare to the URC remotes I'm using now. $38.99 is an inexpensive way to try this one out. Thanks again!!!

Also on the ad it say you can control 5 devices, that is a misprint you can control about 7 or 8 devices which is more than enough for me at the moment.

Crown XLS series amps are currently on closeout sale. I just picked up an XLS-1000 from Amazon for $159. These are very nice amps IMO. I've owned one prior to this one - the 1500 amp. More than enough power for most needs and its very clean sounding. I used it to drive a pair of ERT's for about 6 months - never could get the amp to clip before crying 'uncle' due to how loud that combo got. Nice thing is they can be bridged into 4ohm loads so they are quite tough. They can also be used for driving a passive sub or you can let them 'idle' for surround speakers. Andrew Robinson wrote a review of these amps on his website. Give it a once-over if you're currently looking for an amp. You won't be sorry.

Wow a way better deal than what we get from Amazon in Canada www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B003HZPKSM?keywords=crown%20xls&qid=1442637240&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1Crown XLS series amps are currently on closeout sale.

I don't know if they ship to Canada or not but its worth a try - and that price is cheaper than Amazon ATM. If you're close to the border you might even be able to pick it up at one of those Goin' Postal or whatever they call it. I ended up buying another XLS-1000 from B&H since Amazon decided they were going out too fast - they hiked the price back up.

I use a Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 to do what this unit does and paid about double what this one goes for, the 2i2 is even higher at the moment. Essentially it's a two channel ADC, you can plug instruments (like electric guitars, basses, and keyboards), as well as balanced microphones, I also use it with the balanced stereo output of a 12 x 4 mixer (it uses a Neutrik type connector that accepts both 1/4" and XLR connectors). It allows you to convert your analog signal to digital (USB) for recording in something like GarageBand, Logic, Audacity, and other software (I mostly use GB). You can also use it to do 'needle drops' - digitizing LP's for your music library. This unit is made by Behringer and my quick look at the features seems very similar to the Focusrite units. My mixer is a Behringer, and it works well, though I like the sound of an other mixers I've had more, it's good enough for what I do with it. garbulky likes their DAC's (for the price I'd guess), so maybe their ADC is decent, it actually has a DAC too for monitoring (balanced out with TRS). In any case the price here is so good I'm tempted to buy one, but I have no use for two units like this. If you have need to digitize instruments, mics, mixers, etc; or if your wanting to try a needle drop you might check this out. Looks good to me. This link has a video describing the unit as well as a special price of $60, don't know what it will be normally, but the comparable Focusrite 2i2 is about $150 at the moment. www.music-onlineshop.com/p2-3040/Edit: Sweetwater has it for $75 and Amazon for $99 so this is a good price, think I'm breaking down.

I haven't used these cables, but Reverb is a reputable company. They look well made - and hey - they're orange! (for better or worse). Even Monoprice is about double this price. $5 and free shipping for a 20' XLR cable

I got this e-mail this morning and have been contemplating one of these for my bedroom two-channel set up.
