great legs, ok head
The legs on this tripod are very sturdy and stable. They are oversize aluminum and they are strong. The head is plenty stable for stills but nowhere near smooth enough for video. But you can change the head so it shouldn't be a problem finding a good head to go with these legs. I use a Velbon head for video. Still I looked hard for a tripod with the same features and quality in the same price range and they just aren't out there. This remains one of the best deals for tripod legs over the past 15 years. I bought my first one about 15 years ago and I broke a foot on it not long ago. I looked hard for a new one and found a good used model instead. I knew what I was getting and it was worth every penny. This tripod was very popular on video forums way back when. As I said you needed a good video head but the legs were hard to beat for the price.

great piece of eastern KY. history
The EK railroad was a big part of life in the 19th century and the early 20th century. It opened up the iron industry that grew into the steel industry of the region which continues to this day. It's a must for anyone living near the old lines if they care about their heritage. Well presented and full of relevant information it's a treasured piece of my collection of history books.

great receiver but a little dated
2 von 2 finden das hilfreich It doesn't have the latest and greatest features (like HDMI inputs and Dolby TrueHD) but what it does have is excellent sound quality. This was a high level receiver when it was made. It does have plenty of digital hookups and outputs. And it has lots of features rarely seen anywhere. I have no problem with the lack of HDMI. I just use my TV for video selection and do the audio selecting with my receiver. It takes an extra push of a button to switch inputs. But the system sounds great overall. I love the fact that it has pre-level out connections for separate amps to run your speakers. I only use the Denon to power my surround speakers which it does very well. I have separate amps for both the front channels and the center channel. I do that because nothing made currently puts out the power of my vintage amps. Very few walls rattle like mine do as a result.
This receiver was a great bargain for me. It replaced another Denon with similar features but less power. I need the extra power to the surround channels to keep up with the high power fronts and center channel. There are features on pretty much all Denon amps that prevent the "too much theater sound" effect where systems effectively reproduce the sound actually played in a theater. That's great if you have a theater. If you have your system in a man cave, like I do, you want a little more control. Keep in mind that true theater sound had speakers behind the screen and the sound is mastered to work with that setup. I have a different setup. I can use Cinema EQ to make the sound right instead of copying what was right for an actual theater. It's a great benefit.
Denon makes quality stuff. That's the bottom line. And if you're willing to settle for older technology as far as hookups go and surround modes these older Denon receivers are a steal. You get great sound at a truly great price if you look around a little.
