I just bought a UPA-7 to replace my XPA-3. With 12ohm speakers soon to be all around, I figure 80/100w is waay more than I'll ever need. I'm one who thinks head room is a load of crap, so I chose this route instead of an XPA-5. We'll see next week.

It's about time they fixed that issue. I may have to go get one again now that it will actually WORK properly lol. Make sure you let us know what you think of the before and after Animo. Well, seeing as it is still before, I can safely say, I am somewhat relieved. Would have returned it or put it up for sale, if it stifled my subs performance below 20Hz.

I just bought a DCX2496 so I can eq and get all my subs up and going with out daisy chaining. Each of the 6 outputs is assignable and completly seperate. It was this or the SMS and the sms is nice but after having one and not liking it too much (before new firmware) it doesn't have the capability to setup 4 subs indepently. So DCX it is!
Something new weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Rather, I envy you man! Those XPA-1s look so amazingly cool. Do all of them come with S/N #s?

Do all of them come with S/N #s? if you mean serial numbers on the front, I guess they do . . not sure as these are the only ones I;ve seen live and in person. But I'm sure they all have serial numbers of some sort. Interesting though . . . you're the second person to make the same observation about the S/N being displayed on the front.

OK, this is off the beaten path but check this out . . I stumbled onto this vintage beauty Heathkit Laboratory Oscilloscope Model IO-18 (or is it 10-18?) TWENTY FREAKING DOLLARS This craigslist ad was cryptic, saying something about "What the heck is this?" in the title and nothing else. I clicked it and this popped up. I called immediately and left a message. They guy calls back seemingly unaware of the post,saying his wife did it. I told him what the ad said and how much. He comes back, that's the wrong price but he would sell it for $50. Probably still a great deal but I said no thanks. So the guy calls me back this morning saying SWMBO ("She Who Must Be Obeyed") said its got to go and its mine if I wanted it. Off I went into the bowels of San Antonio in an area I had never been to in my life even though I am born and raised here. Long story made short, I'm out the door in 5 minutes with this cool looking box. Now, if only i knew how to use one . . . ;D

FYI ".....The O-12 5MHz bandwidth oscilloscope came on the market in 1958. The O-12 is practically the same as the O-11 that came on the market in 1957. It has lots of similarities with all previous Heathkit oscilloscopes and can, more or less, be traced back to the very first O-1, that was the first Heath kit back in 1947. The O-12 was replaced by the IO-12 and IO-12U* in 1962, which in turn was replaced by the IO-18 (made 1968-1970) and IO-18U* in 1968 and they were replaced by the IO-102 in 1971. (See also the IO-104 page). *The Brittish Heathkit factory in Gloucester produced several kits with the letter U added to the designation. Among them was the IO-12U and the IO-18U. The U meant The United Kingdom. The IO-18U differed from the IO-18 in terms of a slightly modernized style like the rectangular CRT......" www.vintagemanuals.com/manual.php?manufacturer=Heathkit&model=IO-18

I just bought a Western Digital WD TV™ Live HD Media Player. When it works it's quite nice . It allows me to stream HD and SD video from any of my computers or internet sites like you tube through an HDMI connection to my pre amp and from there to my 61 inch HD set. The video quality of HD content is really good. The youtube streaming is really nice. as well.
Unfortunately, they are having firmware issues that have not yet been resolved. Mine locks up pretty regularly requiring me to pull the power plug and let it reset. I'll be calling their tech support again tomorrow to see if they have any resolution coming. If not, it goes back to Best Buy
