Whether all tickets are sold out, or just advanced tickets are sold out, to me, it doesn't matter because I am proud to announce that KROQ KEN IS GOING BOTH WEEKENDS in 2013. MY TWELTH YEAR IN A ROW. See you (lucky 80,000 people) next April!
Whether all tickets are sold out, or just advanced tickets are sold out, to me, it doesn't matter because I am proud to announce that KROQ KEN IS GOING BOTH WEEKENDS in 2013. MY TWELTH YEAR IN A ROW. See you (lucky 80,000 people) next April!
Frankly I like it that way. I look at the poster and then I don't even digest it all until 2 weeks later. My stomach acids have trouble with jizz.
'10, '11, '12.1, '13.1, '14.1
Doubt they sold 172,000 tickets in five hours to a festival which is 11 months away and has no lineup.
Im assuming the 'Advanced Tickets' means they sold out of the allotted presale tickets, and there will still be 10-15000 tickets for sale come January. At least I hope so for my sake.
Upcoming Shows:
U2: 6/28 @ United Center
Lollapalooza: 8/1 @ Grant Park
Tickets will be easy to find the week before the event, regardless of how fast it sells out. That being said, its quite possible next years event will sell out completely during the presale (as is the case with Glastonbury, if I'm correct.)
Congrats GV.
If there are no more tickets left then Eddie Vedder and Paul should issue a formal apology, because scalpers would be fucking stoked.
I would start a complaint thread for sure.
from coachella.com front page...
"The general on sale will happen early next year."
No worries for the people who didn't get tickets. Plenty of people are using the payment plan. When they default Goldenvoice will use those tickets for January sales.
Every year they do the advance ticket sales for 3 days only... and then follow with regular tickets sales 3 or so months before the actual event. Why would anyone expect anything different? The only reason they do the pre-ticket sales is to offer the payment plan option. Not to mention the advance tickets ALWAYS SELL OUT FAST. The amount that will go on sale before the event does not change because of it. The reason they sell out is because there are only a limited avail for the pre-sale.

They have never done the presale for 3 days only. The payment plan is not the only reason they do it because they allow you to pay in full during the presale. And the reason people might expect something different is because this is the first time that both weeks presale has sold out.

Verlander hopes Interleague dose is cure for ills
Fireballer looks to continue mastery of NL vs. Liriano, Bucs
If there's any cure for Justin Verlander's recent struggles, it's the National League.
Verlander is 19-2 with a 2.64 ERA in Interleague Play in his career, and 7-0 with a 1.29 ERA over the last two seasons.
But things haven't been so rosy for Verlander in May. The fireballer is just 2-2 with a 7.32 ERA, and opponents are batting .296 against him.
"I think you learn that getting out of composure's never a good thing for a pitcher," Verlander said. "You talk about the pitchers with poise -- you can't tell whether they're winning or losing. I want to be that guy that's out there and if somebody just tuned in, they can't tell what's going on. Just continue after one pitch, reset and focus on the next pitch."
Verlander's counterpart, Pirates lefty Francisco Liriano, got to know the Tigers pretty well during his time in Minnesota. But not in the way he'd like.
Liriano is 5-7 with a 5.93 ERA against Detroit in his career, a trend he'll hope to reverse when the Pirates visit Comerica Park to begin a two-game set on Monday afternoon. Liriano is 3-0 and has allowed just two earned runs in three starts this season.
"It'll be no mystery for him to face them, so there should be some comfort zone for him," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "He's done OK against that team -- couple matchups have gone his way, a few that haven't. He's been pitching well, and this will be a good opportunity to see what he can do against one of the best lineups in baseball."
Pirates third baseman Brandon Inge will be reunited with Verlander and some other former teammates Monday. Inge spent the first 11 years of his career in Detroit, and he will face off against the Tigers for the first time as an opponent.
Tigers manager Jim Leyland called Inge a "terrific athlete and competitor," and praised his loyalty to the organization.
"His toughness and competitive nature was second to none," Leyland said. "He played every day and competed hard every day, and that's all you can ask of a player."
Pirates: Jones on track to DH in Detroit
Garrett Jones will likely serve as the Pirates' designated hitter for both of the team's games in Detroit before they return home for a pair of contests against the Tigers at PNC Park. Gaby Sanchez will play first, and Travis Snider will likely remain in right field.
Jones is a .269 hitter with a home run and four RBIs in 67 career at-bats as a DH.
• The Pirates have won 16 games this month, their most victories in May since winning 17 in 1999.
• Righty James McDonald is expected to make a rehab start for Double-A Altoona on Monday. McDonald has been on the disabled list since May 7 with stiffness in his right shoulder.
• The Pirates are fresh off their first series win in Milwaukee since last June 1-3.
Tigers: Veterans will be honored
The Tigers will wear camouflage jerseys on Memorial Day and honor members and veterans of the Armed Forces. The team donated 1,500 tickets to local servicemen and women and their families for the game.
• Detroit has won 49 of its last 68 home games dating back to July 4, 2012, the best mark in the American League in that span.
Worth nothing
• Liriano has appeared in 23 games against the Tigers, his most against any team. He is 3-4 with a 6.18 ERA lifetime at Comerica Park.
• Verlander took a no-hitter into the ninth against the Pirates at Comerica Park last May, then threw a complete game at PNC Park a month later.
• The Pirates have an extra-base hit in 45 consecutive games, the longest streak in baseball. The Tigers are second at 42.

New In This Update
Human Testing
To date, 35 New Jersey residents have been approved for WNV testing. Twenty-one have tested negative and none have tested positive. Blood and/or spinal fluid samples from these individuals were tested for the presence of WNV. These individuals either had symptoms or signs that met the established WNV testing criteria.
Human testing for WNV is being conducted at the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services' Public Health and Environmental Laboratory in Trenton and at public health labs in other states. Testing results are sent to the CDC for confirmation.
Crow Testing
Mosquito Testing
Additional Information & Advisories
The risk of WNV infection has increased with the arrival of summer and people should take steps now to eliminate mosquito-breeding areas around their homes and protect themselves and their families from infection.
Among the personal precautions residents can take now are such measures as eliminating standing water on their own property (such as clearing clogged gutters, draining flower pots, recycling old car tires, etc.), and repairing window and door screens. In the spring, summer, and fall residents can spray insect repellent on their clothing and exposed skin in accordance with labeling directions, wear long sleeved shirts and pants when outdoors, or curb outdoor activities at dawn, dusk and during the evening.
The West Nile virus, an arboviral disease, is transmitted through the bite of a mosquito that has picked up the virus by feeding on an infected bird. WNV is not directly transmitted from birds to humans. WNV infection generally causes no symptoms or just mild, flu-like symptoms; however, the elderly are at higher risk of more severe disease.
In New Jersey, a total of 43 people have been diagnosed with WNV between 1999 and 2002. Lab testing confirmed WNV infection in these residents, with two resulting fatalities. WNV activity (identified from avian, equine and/or mosquito surveillance) has been detected in every county in New Jersey.
New Jersey's WNV surveillance, control and prevention activities involve the coordinated efforts of a number of federal, state and local agencies. These include the New Jersey Departments of Health and Senior Services, Environmental Protection, and Agriculture, the CDC, the State Mosquito Control Commission, the Rutgers Mosquito Research and Control Unit, and local health and mosquito control agencies.

Unfortunately before i got that project off the ground someone offered me a drink and then i found out i had no mental defence against that 1st drink and i woke up once again flat out on the 'frozen' grass. In January in Scotland, like you say its a wonder i'm still here today.
Think somebody up there likes me?

Jordan Zimmermann faces the Tigers tonight at Joker Marchant Stadium.
LAKELAND, Fla. — Plenty of pregame news here this evening. I'll go into more detail on all this in some separate postings, but here's the quick rundown…
— Jayson Werth is hitting second tonight, and Jim Riggleman said that's going to continue to be the case entering the season. Werth will bat second, with Ryan Zimmerman third, Adam LaRoche fourth and Michael Morse fifth. Leadoff remains a question mark, though you've got to believe it's either going to be Nyjer Morgan or Ian Desmond.
— The team still hasn't settled on the order of the rotation to open the year, but the only decision left is whether John Lannan or Jordan Zimmermann starts Game 2 after Livan Hernandez. The other guy will start Game 3, with Jason Marquis fourth and Tom Gorzelanny fifth. All five starters will make the Opening Day roster, though it hasn't been decided if Gorzelanny will take his first turn in the rotation or pitch out of the bullpen for the first week.
— Henry Rodriguez, who hasn't pitched in a game in a week, indeed does have a physical ailment: neck spasms. He was treated by a doctor and should be able to throw a bullpen session tomorrow, but the chance of him getting enough work in by Opening Day is remote. Sounds like he'll start the year on the DL.
— Chad Gaudin will begin pitching out of the bullpen this week, and Riggleman all but said he'll make the club as a long reliever. Assuming Rodriguez and Elvin Ramirez land on the DL, that would leave one final bullpen spot for either Collin Balester or Rule 5 pick Brian Broderick.
Plenty of game updates to come here, and more details on all that other news to come in separate posts…

MLBN's "30 Teams in 30 Days" feature today painted a very optimistic picture of the Nats, talking about significant improvements from last year and a big jump in games won. Made me wonder whether they were talking about the same team that so many commenters here see as essentially dysfunctional. I look forward with optimism to a week from today.
- Anonymous8 - Mar 24, 2011 at 8:46 PM
Steve M. said… JD – Have at your lineup. Unless you move Werth or Morse up, you are screwed and hope these guys develop. Desmond and Ankiel will still get on base 3 of 10 plate appearances and they will stay on base unlike Nyjer who took himself off the bases way too many times. March 24, 2011 12:59 PM Look at that Steve M. They moved Werth up to the 2 hole!
- Mark'd - Mar 24, 2011 at 8:56 PM
SteveM, when I read your suggestion I laughed thinking not a chance they move Werth or Morse to the 2 hole. It is crazy but going with any combo involving 2 of Desmond, Espi, Ankiel, Nyjer or Bernadina are all low OBP guys.
- N. Cognito - Mar 24, 2011 at 8:59 PM
I want to thank you Mark. I have found true religion after coming to your site.
- JD - Mar 24, 2011 at 9:01 PM
I actually like this a lot (moving Werth up). If Morgan is toast as seems to be the sentiment I really hope that Desmond is somehow convinced that you are allowed to take a pitch now and again and a walk is a good thing.
- Ernie - Mar 24, 2011 at 9:09 PM
Concidentally I just picked up 3 Nights in August, about LaRussa managing a few games against the Cubs in 2003. Early in the book it mentions that when he was with the White Sox in the 80s it was his decison to move Fisk up to the 2-spot, where (the original) Pudge went to town. I had completely forgotten about that until reading it again, and here it looks like Riggleman is thinking something similar.
- N. Cognito - Mar 24, 2011 at 9:13 PM
Werth batting 2nd!?Tooting horn – I believe some genius poster here proposed that soon after the Nats signed Werth – horn tooting over.

Toot away! I love when Riggs thinks outside the box and he needs to do more of it.
- N. Cognito - Mar 24, 2011 at 9:35 PM
Werth batting second is really a decision by default. He has a good OBP, is a good baserunner and has some power. His HR totals should come down, not playing Citizens Band Box Park.

N. Cognito-While you're tooting, remember to send a couple toots my way as well. I've been asking for it since we signed him. I love this move, especially if Morse can be what we all are hoping he will be.

Kilgore has an interesting post on the subject. If I am reading correctly, Werth and Rizzo are the brain-trusts behind this Werth to #2 business. This year is going to be a lot more fun than any since 2005.

Nice to see that they are taking Bobby V.'s advice on Rodriguez's injury. Now, BallyStar vs. Broderick—let the debate begin! Forgetting Rule 5 (hard to forget) and options (also hard to forget) who has the better stuff, or whatever else counts? Methinks BallyStar??

With Werth in the 2 hole it looks like we can forget get em on get em over get em in baseball. No more no out bunts from the No. 2 man. Asking Werth to sacrifice himself in a small ball game is not gonna happen. With a muscular lineup we will not be playing the girly man bunting game. We will play a balls out American League style pound them to jelly game. Situational hitteing is overrated anyway. We won't be wasting a perfectly good out just for a lousy 90 ft of basepath. We don't have any bunters anyway so why waste time with that aspect of the game. Good by and good riddance to the Girly Man Nats of the past! All Hail the Half St Bombers of 2011!

I really like Espinosa but there was an example of how plate discipline can change games.Twice he swung at ball 4. Instead of bases loaded and one out, the inning is over. In a real game with a tighter score, that kind of thing can make the whole difference.
- Theophilus - Mar 25, 2011 at 12:20 AM
Broderick pitches one inning. Has he gone more than one on any occasion? Should we believe they are trying not to overexpose him?

It's so funny watching the Tigers' TV guys on MLB TV. They didn't announce a single one of the Nationals' batters in the 8th. Just kept talking all Detroit, all the time.
- phil dunn - Mar 25, 2011 at 12:56 AM
This game leaves little doubt that the regular season will see an Ankiel/Hairston platoon. This should make JayB happy beacuse Morgan is probably toast.
- Nataholic - Mar 25, 2011 at 1:10 AM
Careful what you wish for. Ankiel and Hariston are not great solutions to starting the CF problem.

It makes me angry that Bali will be sent down while Coffey is a part of this team.

I am watching the game on Tape Delay on the MLB Network. Its in the 5th inning and after JZim struck out his 6th batter the Tigers announcers said this Zimmermann is impressive and in mid-season form and struck out everyone on fastballs.Real nice outing!

I'm with Jeeves. Coffey has not helped us at all this spring. Ballestar deserves the slot. It was not a smart trade, and keeping him up compounds the error.

by Marshall Chase Yamaha AVENTAGE®: Premium design and performance Yamaha designed their AVENTAGE series of receivers from the ground up with sound quality as the top priority.

And to top it off, AVENTAGE receivers are backed by a three-year warranty. The RX-A1020 boasts other nice engineering touches like a symmetrical amplifier layout with a center-mounted transformer to reduce the signal path.

Not only do you get a fast and convenient way to listen to your favorites, but anyone in your home can stream from their player to share their latest find. AirPlay requires a wireless home network and a wired connection between the receiver and network.

You'll enjoy better clarity and dynamic range, perhaps as never before. Or if you'd simply like to hear music in another room, those extra powered outputs can be used for a pair of speakers in your favorite lounge or work area, entertaining you while others enjoy the movie in your living room.

Affordable Audiophilia Written By Gianni Bambino, Naples, Fl on Sunday, August 31, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This product was purchased from Crutchfield to replace a 9 year old Onkyo WRT receiver that did not have hdmi inputs. The Yamaha rxa 1020 exhibited far better sound, a full and complete sound spectrum and great custom adjust-ability. I purchased the rxa 1020 from Crutchfield and received great service all of the way around. I found that for the size of my room, listening preference (powerful overdriven sound with plenty of reserves in the tank), that the rxa 1020 was just not quite powerful enough. I spoke with Crutchfield representatives about my feelings and they allowed me to return it and upgrade. Crutchfield is an exemplary company that sets itself apart from everyone else, they listen, advis and do their best. I just can't say enough good things about the experience. I hope that you find the same quality of service as I did in your dealings with Crutchfield. Pros: Great sound, customization, ease of use Cons: could use some more power
Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A1020 Written By sdk, Mentor, OH on Saturday, July 19, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After reading the manual, I found the RX-A1020 to be easy to setup. Yamaha's auto-calibration system seemed to work great. It even told me that I had the surround speakers on the wrong channel and that that a speaker was out of phase. Still testing out the system. One note of concern, I have the TV audio out going to the receiver's Audio 1, and my CD player going to Audio 2. While selecting Audio 2, with the CD player, off it seemed like the Audio 1 was bleeding thru. I haven't rechecked that since I corrected the speaker connections after the auto-calibration.
Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A1020 Written By Dave, Illinois on Tuesday, May 13, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Replaced an older Pioneer Elite AVR, the Yamaha 1020 is much cleaner sounding. The video up scaling is great on DTV, 1080i to 1080p. The only thing I don't care for is the way it handles HDMI control on a Plasma without ARC or control.
Excellent choice! Written By NeonJ, Germantown Hills, IL on Monday, May 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Cooper at Crutchfield guided to this receiver as a replacement for my Onkyo . The sound and picture provided now through the Yamaha is far superior to any I have experienced formerly. A great choice and total satisfaction! fortunately had the help installing of a friend who installed home theater systems for a company in Phoenix. He made sure that the sound thru my Bose accoustimass 10 speakers is fully utilized. Pros: sound and picture is superior to my Onkyo which burned out.....high-end piece of equipment for a reasonable price. Cons: no printed manual with receiver and need Ethernet cable for full capabilities.
Yamaha Aventage RX-A1020 Written By Slowrider, Birmingham, AL on Friday, May 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This unit is amazing. Sound is excellent and it was easy to set up. Pros: Everything about it. Cons: None so far.
Yamaha Aventage RX-A1020 Written By LouC, Apopka, FL on Wednesday, May 07, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This unit replaced a Yamaha RX-V1065 due to a circuit board malfunction with the HDMI output jack. The setup on the 1020 was close to the 1065 but had much more features and functionality. It did take me somewhat longer to get the receiver the way I wanted, but by this being the case I came to learn more about the unit. Pros: Hi-end everything you could ever want I believe in a home theater receiver. Cons: No printed manual. I downloaded the pdf. file to my tablet which made it easier to some degree, but not as efficient I would say as having a hard copy in your hands.
Everything & More Written By hotrod, mohave valley on Monday, May 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) third yamaha receiver ive owned in 40 + years, first one oi shorted out the speaker wires and never did find anyone that could fix it to last longer than a year or two. second one, a RX-V620, still works perfect and sounds assume. with everything being HDMI i figured it was time to upgrade, im really glad i did. the technology has advanced a lot since my old RX-V620. Pandora, internet radio, server, and much much more. this receiver has plenty of features for you to enjoy and ofcourse the quality sound of yamaha. one thing though, if you have any problems dont bother calling Crutchfield, seems the tech is beyond them, call yamaha. i made the mistake of calling Crutchfield more than a few times about setting this unit up and every time i was given the wrong information, oh well they try. only had to call yamaha once and that was it. Pros: everything, plus Crutchfield has a great price and return policy. Cons: would of like it to have 145 watts.
Great upgrade from Onkyo Written By TomC, AZ on Monday, May 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is my fourth surround receiver, first Yamaha and first time the microphone and speaker setup worked without any tweaks! It even told me I had a speaker out of phase. Hands down better setup and sound than the 2 yr old "broken" Onkyo it replaced. - Pros: Great sound, easy setup, bad remote made the decision to go with a harmony remote easy Cons: Remote: Too many buttons Remote: Seriously? Look up codes on the CDRom? How about a web site?
AVENTAGE RX-A-1020 Written By Rick G, Bedford, TX on Tuesday, April 29, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great unit. Has a lot more flexibility than I ever imagined. Very thorough system. It can handle anything from Phonograph to Blue Ray and Satellite receivers. Great Sound through Klipsch and JBL Speakers. It sounds good right out of the box but improves greatly after the YPAO mic setup is performed. Much cleaner subwoofer sounds after setup. Pros: Very versatile handles a variety of inputs and outputs. Extremely clear sound. Cons: A little complicated to setup. Must read manual thoroughly. Subtle remarks regarding setup become very important.
Big Improvement from my prior Onkyo Written By JP, Nevada City, CA on Wednesday, April 23, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) A definite buy. Tremendously glad I bought this receiver amplifier. It serves Mac Mini's media collection (in iTunes served to the Yamaha through Plex Media Server) through a ROKU3 to my Polk speakers/SWoofer superiorly and pleasantly. Such an advance in overall function! I am satisfied with the value here. Crutchfield gave me great service. Pros: I don't use cable/dish for media but use DSL to receive the media we need (international news, PBS, Comedy Central). My ROKU hooked up nicely to the Yamaha; they work as a great pair, and I control them through the excellent Yamaha app on my iPhone when I need to change volume on the Yamaha or the input source ((between the ROKU and the Mac). Nice app interface. Great sound (I have a lot of ripped classical CDs that I serve with Plex, itunes through Mac, or lexcellent Net Radio with Yamaha. Cons: Just One, and it could be big: the Yamaha networks very nicely, but it requires ethernet hard cabling. Luckily I already had that in the wall to connect with my network router. I suspect these units were sold as a nice special as the replacement model is going to have WiFi networking, which might be worth waiting for for many potential buyers.
Yamaha makes EXTRA ORDINARY receivers Written By Ron, Glenmont NY on Monday, April 21, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) In 1986 I purchased a Yamaha receiver, it still works great. 5 months ago a I purchased a Yamaha 3030. I liked it so much I just purchased the Yamaha 1020. For the price it's a real bargain since it has almost all the features and capabilities of the Yamaha 3030. So what is so great about it. First, it is well made and bullet proof. It will last for years and has wonderful sound. It is powerful and flexible. I have mine hooked up so that it can power a 5.1 speaker system and a separate set of speakers in a remote location. This means that you can watch a movie in one room and listen to CD, FM radio, airplay, apple TV radio or iTunes, internet radio, phono in another location. With the Yamaha iPhone (or Android) app I can control all functions easily from any location on my home network. Don't forget the legendary soundscapes and equalization of the Yamaha. This has always been a strong suite of Yamaha equipment. You equalize the system with a supplied microphone. You can do this for your favorite listening location, or you can average a few locations where listening is common. Once this is done you can tweak the sound and adjust it in any way you wish, or simply go with the defaults. Once this is done the receiver allows you to mimic the sound stage of many venues and shape the sound for various musical types. You can also adjust dialog levels. It can become as complicated or as simple as you wish. Fuss with it each time you listen, or not. Up to you. Pros: It has very detailed instructions and can be customized to fit any situation. You run all your equipment through it and you can probably get the receiver remote and or the app to control everything you own in one place. If you get stuck setting it up or have questions, Yamaha support is over the top helpful. They will spend as much time with you as you need on the phone answering your questions and explaining how to set things up. If you stump them, they will get back to you with the answer Cons: To enjoy full capabilities you MUST hard wire the system to your network with Ethernet cable. Once you do this you can take advantage of the app to control the receiver from your phone, you can use internet radio, pandora, airplay etc. By the way.... Internet radio is incredible. You must also hook the receiver up to your TV with HDMI, other wise it is hard to use. This is because the on TV screen menus are essential to augment the receiver's display. This is all more than worth the effort.
Yamaha RX A 1020 Receiver Written By RLD, North Ridgeville, OH on Monday, April 21, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I love this receiver. This is my third Yamaha receiver and they never let me down in terms of features and quality. Super quality for the money. Pros: Easy to use, great sound, and the HDMI passive switching is terrific. Cons: None that I can think of.
Woks Great Written By Anonymous, Geneva IL on Sunday, April 20, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Awesome sound, but takes some effort to set up. At first I could not get any control or Airplay to work with my ipad. The solution was to upgrade the firmware to v1.6 via the USB port. You simply download the latest version from the Yamaha website (follow the instructions) to a USB fob, then manually upload to the receiver. Takes about 15 minutes to load, and then everything works great. I can control with the outstanding AV app, and even play Spotify thru Airplay as well. Best performance I ever heard! Pros: Well made. Plenty of power. Lots of tone options Cons: Takes a bit of effort to configure
More than expected Written By HECTOR R. ALICEA, GUAYNABO, PUERTO RICO on Thursday, April 17, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This receiver is, by far, more than I expected. Although, learning your way around is not easy, it will take you to a higher level in sound production and equipment integration. Pros: Small and easy to placed. Cons: Manual needs to be printed (200 pages) in order for you to learn the whereabouts of everything!
Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A1020 Written By Anonymous, Pearl River, NY on Monday, April 14, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've had this unit for over a year now and it's great all my friends come over and can't believe what a beautiful sound that has it makes TV viewing a pleasure
Simply the best....once again!!!! Written By Carmine, Surprise, AZ on Saturday, April 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Having tried a few different receivers over the past few years, I've gone back to the first brand receiver I owned - Yamaha!!! Yamaha has done it again, delivering an outstanding product with outstanding build quality & absolutely stellar sound quality. Feature-packed & built like a tank, the RX-A1020 is hands-down one of the finest pieces of A/V equipment in my rack.... Pros: EVERYTHING Cons: As with most A/V equipment these days, a printed user manual would've been nice, but a local copy center works....
Great HT Receiver! Written By AMP, Houston, TX on Wednesday, April 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is the best receiver I have ever had. It is replacing an older Yamaha model, and it is leaps and bounds better as far as features and sound quality. It was easy to set up and I keep finding new features that are awesome. I would recommend this receiver to anyone that is looking for quality sound and multiple music source options. Pros: Easy to set up. Excellent power and sound delivery. Features galore. Cons: It's a heavy receiver. Make sure you have a sturdy entertainment stand.
Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A1020 Written By Mikeb, NJ on Tuesday, April 08, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased this to replace a 12 year old Onkyo that was on its way out. I've only had it for a few weeks now, but so far am quite happy with it. The free shipping from Crutchfield was incredibly fast in getting it to me and the for the few questions I had in setting it up the tech support was very helpful. Pros: Works well, sounds great. Very solid piece of electronics Cons: no printed manual, just CD pdf form is a little bit of a pain.
First yamaha Written By Jesse, Minneapolis, MN on Sunday, April 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Can't find anything comparable for the sales price. Great sound and powerful. I run this with a klipsch synergy surround system.
Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A1020 Written By Bill K, Fairless Hills Pa on Sunday, April 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I replaced a 2 year old Onkyo AV receiver with HDMI problems that I had repaired once for the same HDMI problems so I decided to give Yamaha try and I am very happy I did it sounds Great way better then the Onkyo . Pros: Set up was easy ,Pre outs for a Emotiva Amp ,Zone 2 ,HDMI 2 and Air play ,Control app for iPad works way better then Onkyo did ..... Cons: None
Awesome Written By Anonymous, Lyons, CO on Saturday, April 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This receiver is awesome, I upgraded from an older Yamaha receiver and did not expect there to be that much of a difference in the sound. There is and it is incredible. Pros: Has all the connections I needed and sounds great. Cons: Wifi is not built in
YAHAMA AVENTAGE RX-A1020 Written By STEVE W, RHODE ISLAND on Saturday, April 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I CHOSE THE RX-A1020 FOR IT'S MULTI CHANNEL PRE-OUTS. I HOOKED UP MY OUTLAW AUDIO 7700 AMP IN FIVE MINUTES. I THEN HOOKED UP THE HDMI WIRES AND I WAS GOOD TO GO. IT TOOK ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO RUN THE YPAO SPEAKER ROOM CORECTION PROGRAM. IT SOUNDED BETTER THAN THE ONKYO PR-SC886 I REPLACED. THE ONE BIG DIFFERENCE WAS THE DIALOGUE ADJUSTMENT ON THE 1020. I BOOSTED IT UP AND ALL DIALOGUE CAME THRU CRYSTAL CLEAR WITHOUT CENTER CHANNEL SOUND INTEREFERENCE. ALL IN ALL I AM VERY HAPPY AND AM NOW CONSIDERING THE YAHAMA CX-A5000 FOR A LATER PURCHASE. Pros: EASY SET UP. SOUNDS GREAT Cons: DOWNLOAD VERSION OF MANUAL IS HARD TO FOLLOW. I ORDERED A PRINTED COPY FOR $9.00.
AVENTAGE RX-A1020 Written By WayneW, Minneapolis MN on Saturday, April 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great receiver. Easy set up. Sounds fantastic plenty of power for my Def Tech system.
What a great addition to the Living Room! Written By Paul McK, Mississippi on Thursday, April 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) When I set up the Yamaha receiver, center box, in wall rear speaker, and Kliptsch side set, the room sounds better than the theater! Pros: Ease of use and installation Cons: None so far
Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A1020 Written By Anonymous, valencia, california on Thursday, April 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy set up right out of the box, sounds fantastic, more power than I had imagined. Looks great, has all the features I can use. Don't even know what half of them are yet. Pros: All the above. Cons: Like a lot of others noted, remote is a bit awkward with lots of buttons I don't think I'll ever need. Fortunately, I have a logitech universal remote to take care of that problem. I also didn't like the flat sounding phono input so I opted for a cambridge preamp which took care of that as well.
Impressive Written By Stevo, Greenville, SC on Tuesday, April 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After much research into home theater receivers, I chose Yamaha. Overall, the RX-A1020 is a great value. Loads of features. This model has hook up for a turntable which was important to me. The manual is a little intimidating but I managed my way through it! Pros: Lots of features. Great value. Cons: Manual needs improvement.
Better than Sony and Onkyo Written By MarkH, Carmichael, CA on Monday, March 31, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This replaces a fairly new Onkyo that stopped producing any sound and an older Sony that I was still using since it would pass stereo through HDMI and power 5.1 speakers while the newer Onkyo did not. I use the receiver to power an HDMI network that serves three TVs, two of which do not have separate sound systems. The HDMI output from the Yamaha works perfectly for this. Thanks for Crutchfield staff double checking this for me before purchase. Pros: Nice clean sound and enough ability to tamper with it to boost voices for TV watching. Compatible with Apple TV and plays nicely with my Sony PC's HDMI output, which I've had trouble with in the past. Cons: Does not have a dynamic range limiting setting to completely avoid the ads with the screamers being louder than the drama you were just watching.
RX-A1020 Written By WTDay3, Covington, WA. on Sunday, March 30, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I just purchased my first home, and I really wanted some tunes and a small home theater system wrapped up in one simple system. I've always had an ear for Yamaha receivers, and based on other people's reviews I figured I'd pull the trigger on the RX-A1020. Crutchfield had this item on sale w/ free shipping, and this item was originally priced at a M.S.R.P. of $1199.95... Essentially half-off making this a no-brainer deal. I am in the process of getting all of the installation pieces purchased to make for a clean install, and have yet to turn on the unit. I will also have to modify my current entertainment system as this unit is deeper than I had anticipated, but this is my fault for not checking the units dimensions against the dimensions of my entertainment center. Pros: Prices and style! Very sleek and clean looking unit. User's Manual is on a CD so I don't have to thumb through 90 pages written in 10 different languages covering three different models. Cons: The User's Manual is on a CD. This isn't a giant issue as I have a laptop if needed but my PC is in my "home office", and obviously not in the same room. I also knew this small fault when purchasing the unit so I really can't complain. I'm just noting it, but at least I don't have to read or lug around a 90 page User's Manual written in 10 different languages covering 3 different models.
Yamaha receiver Written By Arebell, Seattle on Sunday, March 30, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very good to excellent receiver Pros: I just got the receiver connect this week end. So far it is working out to be a fine receiver. HD radio was easy to get working and with HDMI connections , the home theater went together easy. Cons: I am having problems getting the app on iPad connected to the 1020 receiver.
Superb! Written By janovak, Syracuse, NY on Friday, March 21, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Extremely pleased with my purchase and Crutchfield. The Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A1020 replaced a 12-year old Onkyo TR700 receiver and is a noticeable improvement in sound, features and ease of set up. The receiver layout and connections were well thought out. Time will tell; however, the apparent build quality leads me to believe it will provide many years of trouble service. Pros: Sound quality, ease of connection and set-up through the TV display. Cons: None to mention.
great unit Written By satisfied custumer, TC, Mi on Thursday, March 20, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) the equip was sent and arrived in good condition and on time. a lot of options for sound quality and design of the system. cants wait to add more equip to it. what an upgrade from our 25yr old unit. Pros: lots of options, looks good, 2nd zone option Cons: a lot to read, directions for hook-up are a little confusing,
Another Great Yamaha Receiver Written By David H, Chicago, IL on Tuesday, March 18, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased this receiver to replace an 11 year-old Yamaha, which still sounded great, but had no HDMI connectivity. I also wanted something with more power, since my highest listening priority is music, and with Apple compatibility. I could not be happier with my choice. Paired with my Def Tech tower speakers, this Yamaha makes my CDs and albums sound the best they have ever sounded. The clean 110W of power produce music that is simply incredible. Movie soundtracks in 5.1 sound great also, by the way. I think this receiver could be set up a lot more quickly than I did it, using the simplest procedures and all the defaults; however, I chose to go through all the details. This might be a bit painful for some people, but I'm an old school guy with many fond memories of setting up the stereo system in every new dorm room or apartment or house. I enjoy going through the process. The YPAO system worked flawlessly for me, but I defined the speaker sizes first (after reading some other comments). Everyone has their own way of using their equipment, and I like to get things set with all the options just right to fit my usage patterns. I was able to do just that. The A1020 has so many configuration options that I would find it hard to believe someone could come up with a use case that could not be configured. Finally, the PDF manual was well indexed and easy to navigate using a laptop. I'm glad Yamaha didn't kill a tree to print it. Pros: Great sound, great sound, great sound. And nice configuration options. Can't beat the price. Cons: None
A engage rxa-1020 Written By Billy R, Fayetteville Ga. on Sunday, March 16, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very good receiver that I bought from a world class store. Best price with free 2 day shipping. Very good customer service as I did have to call with questions
A satisfactory purchase Written By TT, California on Friday, March 14, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am replacing my 6 years old Onkyo receiver. My needs are: 2 HDMI outs, more than 5 HDMI in's, Airplay. able to play my pc music , HD radio, 2 sub-woofer out, independent second zone. So far it is meeting all my needs. My set up are: Goldenear supersat 50 x 3 , Speakercrafts in wall surround x 4 , Hsu Research sub-woofer, Panasonic 55 inches plasma, Epson front projector, Elite motor screen. xb360, oppo blueray, att u-verse, tvpad, pioneer multiregion dvd The only set back was setting up the airplay, pc etc. It took a few days to figure it out., but once set up I am very happy with the result. I think the sound is better than my old Onkyo, but this is subjective as I did not do a AB comparison. The surround effects is definitely better than Onkyo. This is my third receiver purchase from Crutchfield and delivery is very fast Pros: All the features mentioned Cons: A little difficulty in setting up Airplay etc, but the problem is dealing with my pc and not with the unit. Would be nice to have a You Tube video etc to help me. So, I did not deduct any stars from this unit.
WOW Written By Rarshaiz, Texas on Friday, March 14, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This receiver can do it all and then some. I replaced my 15+ year old Onkyo receiver so it was a very big jump in technology. I have actually fully replaced my entire home theater system including speakers. I am using Klipsch 52 II series all the way around with this receiver at the moment I only have the front three hooked up with a set of Bose Acustimass surround. This receiver adjusted the surround speakers to actually work very will with movies I can now hear them way better then with the old system. I can not wait to have all speakers running which should be in a week or so. As I said this is just one piece of the entire home theater being redone. I read a ton of reviews on a great many receivers and at the $699 price This one was the best bang for the buck. Sure I could have spent more for a higher end system with a 9.2 setup but reality is this one was less then half the price of that and lets be realistic 9.2 is extremely rare on blue rays at the moment, actually, I have yet to see one come out so why spend more for something you wont be using. I read a couple reviews here as well that complain about not having a manual other then on disk... Get with the times its 2014 and paper manuals are out why waste the paper and help preserve trees. If you want a paper manual its real simple print the thing out. Not me Ill stick to the PDF version. So far this receiver has been top notch. Pros: Price and all the features that i have yet to use but plan too. Cons: Nothing of note.

YAMAHA Great price fast free shipping ;-) Written By Aaron, Superior WI on Wednesday, March 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) what can i say the product sold itself for the price It does what I Needed it to do an after awile after messing with the remote and setting getting fimilar with them everthing sounds great just gotta figure out the reason why my sub isnt working Pros: loooks great sounds great so far no compliants-staff was very hepful very knowledgeable on helping make my decision between a few receivers some places give you that hurry up an buy additude-Axle Made me feel like i was getting the best bang for my buck(s) and so far I feel pretty confident with my purchase - Thanks again Axle Cons: besides the sub not working-wasnt to happy with the shipping company leaving my products out in the cold without ringing the doorbell or contacting me somehow i thought it was very unprofessional ya we had crappy weather but we have had ppl on the news recently following and stealing ppl's packages anyone coulda jus walked off with my expensive products
Totally Pleased Written By Regular Guy, Alaska on Tuesday, March 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Got this receiver based on running multiple zones, ease of use, power, input/outputs, AirPlay and availability of app control from devices. It does all of these and more. Setup was fairly straightforward, took more time to rearrange the cabinet and wires than the setup the actual device. Sound quality is good, plenty of power for my setup (DefTech 600) as well as driving zone 2 simultaneously across the house. App control is pretty good, but still a few kinks that Yamaha needs to work out. All of this plus the price makes it a no-brainer while it lasts. I was considering other models with similar features for $500 more and haven't noticed the extra weight in my pockets bothering me one bit. Pros: Multi Zone, AirPlay, Easy setup and use. Control Apps for Apple and Kindle. Nice set of inputs (RBG and HDMI) Cons: Yamaha App control could be a little bit more streamlined. It works fine, but causes some temporary issues for people using zone 1 if you are controlling zone 2 using the app. I get a few "stop it" comments from across the house.
Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A1020 Written By bob d., brevard, nc on Monday, March 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) very pleased, first time with two prior receivers and one prior sub plus new one one year ago that i have been able to adjust properly.also i am pleased with the mellow sound and true fidelity.i am not very compitent in these matters but i did find the manual maddning 4-5 refferals on one subject many different times. i am still working on the many features but mainly winging it or forgetting certain things . 150 pages to understand as well as copy is too much!!! Pros: excellent sound quality, good remote,overall quality,good back panel. good Crutchfield. support! !! Cons: bad manual . should not have to run 150 pages on my copier for an excessevly complicated manual. fm setup seemed to be more difficult then it should be.
Nice surprise! Written By Smith, Arlington, VA on Monday, March 10, 2014 I had an Onkyo receiver for several years and loved it - but its HDMI board died, so I replaced it with another Onkyo. When ITS board died last month, I decided it was time to switch brands. I looked around online, and the Yamahas seemed to get great reviews. Crutchfield was offering the Aventage RX-A1020 at a great price (it's being replaced by a new model), so I decided to give it a try. What a nice surprise it has been! Setup was a breeze, and the sound quality and speaker balance are significantly better than those my Onkyos offered. It runs cooler than the Onkyos, also. Pros: Easy setup. Love the second zone's independent controls. Cons: The USB port for connecting an iPod is BEHIND the drop-down front-panel door - so, when using an iPod, you'll need to leave the door open. Looks sloppy to me. Instead, I connected red/white composite plugs to my old Onkyo iPod dock and plugged it into one of the composite inputs on the back of the RX-A1020. It looks much neater.
Sweet power! Written By Anonymous, Leesburg va on Sunday, March 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Super power and numerous (perhaps too numerous) functions I tried the onkyo 626 and elite v43 before trying this one out. I have some power hungry speakers and the 1020 fed my beasts! Pros: Power power power. Net radio Cons: This and all receivers need an hdmi connected tv to fully set up. Which is complete BS! I wish apple would be simpler to run too many steps involved
Overall, an amazing AVR. Written By Zoookle, Pittsburgh, PA on Thursday, March 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Awesome, I originally bought this for mainly music play and I must say it has really brought my video's alive. Lots of my pros and cons can be opinionated. Lots and lots of features and all work great - HD radio, USB, pandora, sirusXM, DLNA, and turntable compatible. The Android app works amazing, i'm able to: change input, volume, preset (2ch stereo, 5 channel), and play music from my device from anywhere in my house, very cool. This thing has all pre-outs available which will be great down the road when or if I want to upgrade! I usually run 5.1 for video and 2.1 for music so the internal amps are good enough for me now and they get plenty of power. My Setup: Yamaha RX-A1020 Bi-Amped Polk RTi A3 bookshelf (L & R) Pre-out Polk PSW125 Sub Polk blackstone TL150 (Center and SL & SR) 14 Guage wire banana plugs to AVR bare wire to speakers. Pros: Pumps out great sound even with low quality movies (mp3 encoded) Presets are good and really add's some cool effects (like reverb to a specific hall) Quick reference directions give you everything you need, they save paper by giving you the manual on CD. (only had to use the CD to connect the remote to my TV) Front panel has easy to get to headphone port, component, HDMI, USB, YPAO mic and full controls! Cons: YPAO is easy to use, but is not as accurate as expected. Still manually edited levels. Font panel doesn't have a "Line In" port for a 3.5" jack. Remote is so-so, but it works. Android app doesn't allow you forward the sound output to the receiver so the music file must be saved to your device to play. For example, I cant stream a youtube video on my phone to the receiver for sound without a physical connection.
Outstanding AV Receiver! Written By Phil, Gilbert, AZ on Monday, March 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) What a GREAT sounding AV receiver! My wife hated my other setup with Denon and was upset I bought the Yamaha. After I installed it, adjust it, my wife came out and said, 'Now that sounds good." Happy wife is a happy life and I have a new Yamaha AV receiver...life is good...Thanks Crutchfield. Pros: The sound....just awesome. Easy to set up. Enough power to shake the walls if you like. The price Crutchfield sells this for is almost like giving it away. Buy one before they are all gone. Cons: Nothing.
Yamaha Adventage RX-A1020 Receiver Written By DanS, Chicago, Il. on Monday, March 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Having just upgraded my Blu Ray player to the Oppo 103 BluRay/SACD/DVD Audio player, I needed to upgrade my Sony ES Series Receiver to one that included HDMI inputs and outputs. My Studio Series JBL speakers sounded very good with the Sony but I needed "cleaner" power in order to drive them with the new DTS and Dolby HD Audio formats. I also needed a receiver that combined legacy inputs/outputs with the latest HD features. This receiver delivered in every way from the audio perspective. I thoroughly enjoy my Dual 1229Q turntable with the Shure V15 type3 cartridge. Hooking it up to the A1020 was straightforward and the results were excellent. Further, I was able to hook up my Sony ES SACD player thru the multi-channel inputs on the A-1020, further ensuring an Excellent DSD sound. The speaker placement adjustments were also excellent. Not a bad seat in the house as they say. The multiple sound fields that are offered are very good. I especially enjoyed the "straight" one as well as the "pure" and the "7 channel stereo" versions. This receiver really delivered on clean audio power. I am hearing things now that I have never heard before from my sacds and dvd audio discs. Lots of kudos to Crutchfield for help in recommending this unit based upon my needs/inputs. Pros: Easy to set up and calibrate the speaker placements. Plenty of undistorted power. Enough inputs/outputs to satisfy legacy as well as new/future requirements. Well laid out remote control. Cons: Minor - large unit. Make sure you have room for this on your stand!
Yamaha Aventage RX-A120 Review Written By Nancy, Springfield, VA on Sunday, February 23, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is an excellent receiver, movies sound great, Apple Air play is fantastic, the sound is REALLY incredible! We've yet to plug in a turntable, but I have no doubt it will sound great. The set up is fairly easy, helps to read the instructions! :-) The fact that you can set the sound for multiple areas of the room is really nice, everyone hears the same fantastic sound. I highly recommend this product. Pros: Sound, versatility, ability to play HD radio, pandora, apple air play, and records. Also nice you can set up speakers in a remote location, although we have not tried that yet. Fairly easy to set up and use for those of us who are not really high tech! Cons: Big and heavy.
Yamaha Rx-A1020 Written By NoAudioSlush, Warner Robins on Sunday, February 16, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Buckle you belts because this one is gonna blow your pants off... literally! No seriously with improper or no pants suspension devices and a set of JBL Pro Series speaker (insert your speakers if applicable, here) it will happen. This amp will push the limits of human hearing all the while producing virtually inaudible distortion. Translation, this rig is clean sounding and produces great performance at all levels. Thanks again Yamaha for proving once again you know what you're doing when it comes to reproducing accurate audio and video recordings. Pros: Everything is Pro here! Cons: Your neighbors will be distraught, unless they have one too.
Love it, but one big shortcoming Written By MbdD, Alabama on Saturday, February 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Best receiver I have owned, but I buy a receiver about every 15 years. Performs as advertised. I have it set up for 7.1 surround with new Polk speakers (TL 250 With a Sub I think - a great deal from Crutchfield) and an old set of Bose 301 for the back channel. Pros: Up sampling of video really works. Sounds great in almost all modes. Powerful. Clean and clear. Really enjoying my record collection now... Direct phono input. Really a high quality product. Party mode sounds Reeeealy great. Cons: One big disadvantage... You cannot watch TV and listen to music from another source... Like right now, I'd love to have the Olympics on the TV screen and listen to iTunes over AirPlay... But alas, when you choose a music source, the screen is pointed to the menu for that source... And you can't get rid of it.
So Many Options Written By Richie, Barrington , NH on Sunday, February 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Love the easy accesability ,(ie. Front USB ports and HDMI)and Phono inputs were important to me
Best receiver I've owned to date. Written By Sean H., Dallas, TX on Wednesday, February 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sounds great! Definitely an upgrade over previous receivers, and with the YPAO adjustments I no longer have to either guess on subwoofer levels or crank volume to get the bass to where I think it needs to be. On-screen display is a big help in the main house where all gear is hidden in a closet behind the wall our tv is mounted to. No more getting up to go make sure my volume is set correctly. My only complaints are that the UI needs some beautification and Yamaha should definitely consider omitting some inputs and port types like S-video. I'd like to use 90-degree HDMI connectors, but Yamaha gives you so many connectivity options crammed into the backs of these things that they won't fit. I suppose I could go with 270-degree HDMI connectors, but I don't want gravity working against the cable. Bought two of these... One for the house and one for the man cave. Couldn't pass up the deal. Crutchfield wasn't the absolute cheapest, but they were close enough and their reputation for great customer service was needed. My first unit was DoA, but Crutchfield came through on a quick replacement that shipped very quickly. Pros: -YPAO actually works! -Build quality. Despite DoA unit, these things appear to be very well made. Team lift! -Welcome built-in features like On-screen Display, HD Radio and AirPlay. -VALUE!!! Cons: -UI looks like a 1990's web page. -Too many inputs and input types. Seriously, Yamaha, consider reducing. -Remote is garbage, but if you're in this range I hope you're getting a quality universal like Harmony Touch.
RX-A1020 Written By RX-A1020, Merrimack, NH on Tuesday, February 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Love that is has 3 sets of RGB ports, not all my old devices have HDMI Pros: will convert analog to digital Cons: wish it would conver digital (hdmi) to analog (rgb)
Yamaha RX-A1020 Written By RickS, Winter Garden, FL on Monday, February 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought the Yamaha RX-A1020 to replace an Onkyo TX_NR709 receiver that failed two months out of warranty. Apparently the NR stands for needs repair after warranty. Onkyo service support has never responded to my problem and apparently is non- existent. So far the Yamaha outperforms the Onkyo in ever way. The amplifier section is much cleaner and more crisp. The DAC's in the Yamaha receiver are superior to the Onkyo. And the Yamaha works. The reason I only give the Yamaha four stars at this time is I need to see if the Yamaha receiver will out live the warranty. If it does I will give it five stars. If you are considering purchasing an Onkyo spend the the extra money on better quality product. Pros: Very clean and crisp amplifier section. The ipad works well as a remote and allows you to control the necessary options of the receiver. The digital to analog converters work very well. Cons: I would have liked a printed manual, that works better for me in learning a new piece of equipment. The online manual works for quick reference. The receiver has lot of features and I found it hard to learn them all with only the online manual. The remote is hard to operate in a dark room since is not back lit. This can be overcome with the tablet or phone apps.
So many choices Written By Einge, Richmond, va on Sunday, January 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) So many choices...hdmi, net radio,, Sirius, pandora, and all of then are easy to use. Pros: Choice, easy to use, switches easily between inputs. Cons: The app needs some work.
Fantastic Receiver Written By mark7070, New York on Saturday, December 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great receiver. Easy setup, advanced, but not overly complicated. I replaced an reasonably new Pioneer receiver which I hated. This is so much easier to use and to my ears sound more musical than the Pioneer. Pros: Great sound, plenty of inputs/ouputs. Good value for the cost. Big, easy to read display (from across the room). On screen interface in best in class. Cons: Remote: while fully functional, it would be better if it were a bit bigger so the buttons could be bigger.

PVC Bendit Makes a Unique Christmas Gift!
It's that time of year. They're starting to play those freakin' songs everywhere, and if you're lucky, it's even snowing now and then. You know what that means: It's time to go hunt down unique Christmas gifts for your loved ones. There's about three ways you can go: the funky boxer shorts with the candy canes on them, a gift card, or a present that they're actually going to use.
10 Best Practices When Bending PVC Pipe and Conduit
You'd have to be a seasoned electrician or PVC afficionado to bend even close to the amount of PVC that I do here at the shop. I'm not trying to brag, I'm just trying to share a few tricks that I've picked up along the way. I'd say there are ten things you need to know to become a PVC bending master, and I'd say it's high time that you knew. Most top ten lists start at ten and count down, but there's no punch line here, so here they are, starting at number one:
Don't Forget About Craigslist - You Can Find Cheap and FREE PVC!
Even though PVC is cheap, it's still nice to find some for free every now and then. When you're bending PVC for business, you really don't want to cut corners on your craftsmanship. In today's weird economy, however, it really does help to cut costs somewhere. Sometimes, a little boost is all it takes to keep your business afloat. Even if you're riding high on the greasy hog, it still doesn't hurt to find a little something for nothing. Don't worry, your good friend craigslist.org just may be able to come to the rescue.
Theater Groups and Drama Departments are Early Adopters of the PVC Bendit System - Sets, Props and Costumes
We've been facing a big surprise here at the shop. It turns out that theater groups and drama departments are bending a lot of PVC, and they happen to be our #1 clients. Making props, sets and costumes using bent PVC is nothing new, but the methods that they were using can't hold a candle to this.
Calling All Bioplastic Makers - We Want to Work With Plant-Based Plastics
What I want to see is a bioplastic product that has most, if not all of the properties of PVC.
I want to work with pipes made from these plastics and see what we can come up with here. I would like to see pipe extruders buy bioplastic resins and give them a shot. There is certainly a market, and that market will only continue to grow. A lot of the projects that we're working on here are geared toward self-sufficient living, and certain toxic facts about PVC just don't sit all that well. Electrical Conduit Work Demands the Right Bending System
Underslab work is demanding. Not only do you have to compete for space with rebar and/or remesh, but you've got to get it perfect the first time. When you say you're done, everything you just did is going to be permanently cased in concrete, and from there, a mistake is a disaster. Add on to that the fact that you're going to have a concrete crew working right on top of your work, and you've got more than a little cause for concern.
Great Link: How to Stain PVC Any Color You Like
Make Magazine has a site called makeprojects.com, and on that site, there is a cool article.
Stain PVC Any Color You Like will show you how to do exactly that. The Cost of Bending PVC Over Buying Bends
The average retail cost of a single PVC pipe fitting is about $2.00, but the price for certain bend fittings can run up over $40.00. Obviously, if you're only going to do one project with PVC, you might as well go buy some bends. For people who work with PVC every day, like electrical contractors, doing your own bending can save you and your clients thousands, if not millions of dollars. There's another cost to consider as well: the appearance of the finished product. While appearance is not the most important for certain applications, like electrical conduit that is hidden by drywall, there are other times when it is vital.
The Maker Faire in New York - New Applications for Bent PVC
The World Maker Faire, NYC, 2011, was a great opportunity for us to share what we're doing with people from around the world. But better still, it was a chance for them to share with us.
Come See Us at Maker Faire NYC, September 17, 18, 2011!We'll be at the Maker Faire in New York City this September 17th and 18th! If you're going to be in the tri-st hot milfs ate area, you NEED to be at the Maker Faire. This is a collection of some of the nation's best creative talents. From robotics to food and everything in between, this is an event you don't want to miss. There will be thousands of Makers and thousands by the dozens of visitors. If you can, think of it as the Technological Burning Man. The Self-Watering Greenhouse
(Please excuse the gratuitous capitalization – I like this subject.)
I love to garden, but here in Colorado, the radical shifts in weather, dry climate and strange cycle of seasons can be somewhat limiting. The dryness of the air can sap moisture right from plant leaves, and the hail can leave beautiful plants looking like Bonnie and Clyde when the law finally caught up with them. Surprise frosts can show up as late as July and as early as, well, July. On the opposite end, daytime temperatures can easily exceed 100 degrees in the summer. We sometimes have 80-degree shifts in temperature in less than 24 hours. Confessions of a PVC Bend Junkie
I have to confess that I am an unwitting victim turned complete addict. This all started over a year ago. A friend and business associate of mine came to me and told me about a friend who invented a machine to bend PVC. At the time, I was running a small but successful restoration and remodeling company and selling art on the side. The thought was somewhat intriguing, but I was in a world of boards, nails, drywall, mud, tiles and the like.
For me, PVC was the stuff that carries poop away. Bend PVC and Start an Industry from Your Garage
In a world of seven billion people, we're in a world of about a billion innovators. Even that is probably a conservative estimate. Since we've learned that we can improve the quality of life through new ideas, it's become nearly instinctive. You can hardly go a day without hearing some new idea that could revolutionize the way we live, and if you're the right sort, you can hardly go a day without having a new idea yourself.

Bending larger diameter PVC Pipe is a breeze with PVC BenditWe had a request from a customer to bend 3 inch PVC in a 21" diameter arc. For a demonstration prototype they were building for a navy customer. After reviewing their design porno gay
sketch we suggested using two ½ inch Bendits with a 1 ½ inch sleeve to increase heating diameter. We also suggested that they could get a tighter bend with a little smaller diameter pipe and still prvide a curved conduit that would meet their needs. The photos are of the finished bends. The Aerospace customer said: "Just wanted to say thanks for getting me the equipment so quickly. I have attached a picture of successfully bending a 2.5" White schedule 40 PVC as well as 2.5" Harvel clear schedule 40 PVC pipe into a 9.25" radius. Everything worked out fantastic and we'll be testing things next week." Interesting Bends in PVC PipeThese seven bends are made with ¾ inch schedule 40 PVC. They are the leg parts for a set of floor planters. With any structural type of bend, it is critical to be able to duplicate exact bends. These were done using our Build-a-Bend System. You can view a slide show on Build a Bend here Welcome to PVC BenditAs the inventor of PVC Bendit, you can imagine I have some pretty strong opinions regarding this topic. But the simple truth is, during the 18 months I spent developing this tool, I bent a serious amount of PVC. During this time, I found exactly what works, what fails, and what the best practices are. This experience allows me to comment on the topic with a certain degree of authority. |

Meet Dina Popovkina, a 24-year-old graduate student who researches neurobiology and behavior at the University of Washington. In The Studio's current Mind and Machines exhibit within Wellbody Academy, Dina talks about how her early ambitions to become an astronaut were squelched when she realized she got sick riding rollercoasters. She shared with Wellbody Blog how she found her way as a woman in science on her journey from the Ukraine to the UW. And she explains her research about how the brain comprehends visual information.
I didn't always want to be an astronaut. What drew me to it was exploring, finding out something new, something that had never been done before.
I came to the United States when I was about 12 from Ukraine. Here, the science education is really great, and there's opportunity. In Ukraine, there are a lot of girls who were interested in learning languages and being involved in science, but there aren't many opportunities for them.
