My AVR just died, so I am shopping for a new one. I have set my eyes on a Marantz NR1605, but they seem to have ditched Dolby Headphone in favor of something they call Virtual sound. Does anyone know how it compares? I am using my Sennheiser RS 170 headphones connected to a Creative DD 5.1 & DTS...

I suppose you are referring to my thread? Or did you find anyone else reporting problems?

This thread keeps popping up in Google when searching for the 240GB iMod, so I felt posting a warning here was in order. As mentioned in this thread, the 30GB iPod Video only has 32MB of RAM. Installing the 240GB drive works fine, until you try to use all the space. The problem is not so much...

I have the opportunity to buy a batch of MK2431GAH drives here in Europe. I'd really like to know if they will work without any special firmware needed to be loaded on the drive. I contacted NowDirect and they told me that they sold several hundred of these drives, and they all came back as not...
