    Here I sit... no processor...

    Well, the Sunfire TGII finally kicked the bucket...
    Dunno WTF happend, but i think something burnt up inside, sudden static, then nothing.
    So today I boxed it up, sent off to Sunfire for repair.
    Now what!?
    Ahh, plug in the variable RCA out of the Denon into the Aragon and continue on like a trooper! Well, not after replacing one of the 802 bass drivers because of the Sunfire freak out. :x

    And you know what? its not to bad!
    Maybe when the TGII gets back from repair, Ill sell it and kick it old school.... or something? :lol:

    Sucks to hear that. Hope you get back your toy soon. Any idea/plan on what kind of processor you want next (if any)?

      Perhaps we could arrange to have it air dropped for service by one of our resident pilots? Bummer on the outtage. That's the thing about all things mechanical or electronic. When they fail, it's a drag.

        Maybe Chris could do one of those hi-speed parachute-braking-sled drops to him. :

          Hmmm... I'll submit a request to the Air Force tomorrow... in triplicate... with a TPS report cover sheet...



          Don't hold your breath.

          On a serious note, the basic perspective I've found to be VERY helpful in these situations, is this: Whatever your hobby is, WHEN something breaks, (not IF) fix it to go faster/better/louder/whatever. If you're going to spend money to repair something, then's the time to spend a little extra and either fix it better than ever, or just buy a new and better one. Even if it stretches your pocketbook.

          IMHO.

          Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

              Ahh, the Tim Taylor school of repair thought process. Increase horsepower, wattage, add a motor, jet propel it, turbocharge it, and super tune it!

              I remember well Tim's chain saw 2 cycle garbage disposal. :B

                Using a reciever for the processor section only?
                by Race Car Driver
                Well, with my sunfire TG back from repair and still giving me problems (going back to sunfire again with less then 5 hrs of use on it) Im looking for something to replace it.
                Now at work I can get a nice pioneer or denon reciever at a discount.
                Now I dont need it for the power, but we...

                RSP-1066 vs. Sunfire Theater Grand III
                by spiffnme
                OK...call me dizzy, but maybe I've changed my mind (again)

                I've got the Rotel RB-1075 amp on it's way to me now. I plan on getting another Rotel 2 channel amp later on. (probably the 991 or 1080) So I'm trying to decide on a processor to go with these amps. At first I thought I'd simply...

                Low/Dollar Receiver (as processor) options
                by tpremo55
                I'm assembling iteration one of a home theater and am looking for a low dollar pre-pro. I've looked at the emotiva UMC-200, but the lack of analog video inputs makes it less interesting to me. Good pre-pros that meet my needs start around $1000 and I'd rather spend the money on a projector.
