    Marantz receiver service claim denied

    Purchased as refurbished unit from A4L. I called A4L who told me to call Marantz but that everything should be covered under warranty as A4L is authorized Marantz dealer. Marantz had me call United Radio who finally got back to me with the rejection. I'll try all 3 companies again...

    Hey, all. I'm not sure if this is the appropriate forum, so feel free to correct me and I'll adjust accordingly. I bought a Marantz SR5008 receiver from Accessories4Less on their Black Friday sale. It worked great for a few months, then started throwing a lot of white noise across all...

    Boards other than Intel DP67BG at around $150 USD?

    Acer Iconia tablet Best Buy $243 w/tax + $10 gift card

    I have the Iconia and would recommend it. Having owned an Iconia for several months now: IMHO, the screen can be too bright for night time reading in the dark. It's got a great resolution, looks sharp, etc., but it's just too bright at the lowest setting. I ended up placing a protective...

    BF3 MP Crashing

    While Origin and the terribad Battlelog have a lot to do with this, it will get better! I've been playing Battlefield games for years. This is just typical, week 1 type stuff for a new Battlefield game. Relax, they'll get it together.

    DIR-655 replacement -- NAT size question, Torrents, etc.

    Hey, [H]orde. I need to replace my DIR 655. It is dropping connections with some degree of regularity now. I've tried changing channels, but at this point, I suspect the router is dying of old age. Back when I purchased it, that was a highly recommended router due to many of the...

    My local Staples was completely sold out of all applicable tablets, but THEY suggested that I order on kiosk, have it shipped to the store, then pay at register with discount. No problems at Salem, NH. I went with the Iconia for the mini HDMI and USB functionality.

    Xoom -- 3.2, price drop. Buy?

    Hey, gang. Just looking for some opinions on the Xoom now that Android 3.2 is out, and the Xoom underwent a price reduction. In light of the changes in the marketplace, do you think the Xoom is the "it" tablet over the Iconia, Transformer, Thrive, etc.? If not, why? I'm looking for...
