Okay… not really… but my receiver (the part of my stereo that gives me true Dolby surround sound, a radio, and a switch for a A/V few things (except HDMI – that didn’t exist in cheap receivers when I bought it 3+ years ago)) just gave up the ghost… not smoke but the smell of electronic components melting (and the sound died completely this time.)
Now I need to find a replacement… maybe there’ll be a Christmas sale somewhere? Under $300??? (I was looking a couple weeks ago…. everything that had the minimum of what I really NEED (enough digital audio in, Component Video out, etc.) was $300-400.)
And the Chinese company that made the one I had (which had enough ports for everything for half the price of SONY or other brands)… doesn’t seem to sell around here anymore..
