Thought I would show off my new receiver.

It was only 15$

It is a brushed aluminum beauty

Also, a question, why do many receivers not have anolouge surround inputs?
 

made it much simpler to hook up to my pc.

Looks great (and like a fingerprint magnet xD). Not sure about the inputs though. It should come as standard is my thought.

My old receivers didnt have surround analoug inputs, just digital surround and stereo analouge.

Bought it from some drug addict right?! ^_^

IDK, some guy on craigslist

 

Nice receiver. I am not experienced with Onkyo since I am on my first AVR anyway. It became a Pioneer since the Onkyo look just plain boring and have a flat and always the same design.

Yeah, im on my 3rd, my first i got for free, but it had no surround inputs. (sony STR-d965)

My second i got for 40$, but the HDMI was wonkey, and it wasnt that great (sony str-dh520)

Then this i got for 15$, and its perfect

When I build my speakerboxes, I just put the amp in the box. Saves a fair bit of hassle, aside from noise from frikkin long ass cables.

But receivers are different.

You've got me looking into used receivers on C-list. Do you have any tips for the initiation, meet, money transfer/pick up? I've contacted a few people using Craigslist before, but never actually met them or bought anything.

Idk,I usually ask a price that is too low, they counter offer, and that continues until they say yes.

But on this receiver I didn't, as is was only 20$, I just asked for 15.

Then I just go there, look at it, make sure it looks good, then give them money, then leave with my m good deal

Dude, SR606 is a great receiver. Say uh what's your home address, I need it for... stuffs :ph34r:

Yeah I can't believe I found it for that.

The only problem (that I already knew) was that the HDMI output is broken.

But it looks like an easy fix if I ever need it.

Nope.

Also, now I have a temp probe, so I'll test receiver temps, stock, with fan in cabinet, and water cooling

Some people would tell me the address only when I was about to go there, but that's it.

Are you going to school?

uhh... Yes. My setup does not need a reciever and I was making a back to the future reference. My setup has amplified speakers. The job of a receiver is usually to be an A/V switch for TVs and a speaker amp. When used on a PC, its only used as a speaker amp.

Nice okay. That's good to know. Someone responded to me with a reasonable offer for a receiver. I might be purchasing it later today.

I used mine as a DAC

You're missin out man... only a little bit though

The back of my PC is a giant squid of cables. But I dont mind. What I do want however, is something to run my headphones and a 5.1 setup at the same time. This way I can just mute the speakers and use headphones if I want, and I dont need to restart games to switch audio outputs.
