I cannot answer this question honestly because I haven't tried them all. but the 750 has worked fine for me. I have made 60 cds so far and I am very satisfied with the results.

The 5 in 1 model has been available for several years. Innovative Technologies has good support through the Internet web site and through the 800 phone number that you can find in the owner's manual. I found the 5 in 1 to be very durable as I have made over 80 CD's. Amazon also sells replacement needles for the turntable, and it would be wise to buy a dozen needles when you buy the media player - digital recorder.

I think this unit is. I researched and compared, to the unit Bed Bath and Beyond. Love it. Someone visited my home and asked how old it was, thought it was an antique. The look of the unit is quality. Highly recommend.

hp psc 2175 all-in-one It's an oldie but a goodie. I bought a "57" on line and it failed in less than a month of light to medium use. Had to replace it at the office supply store.

Strong points are the versatility of having a REAL receiver. Input ANY device such as blu-ray/dvd, cable box/DVR, xbox/playstation, etc. Alternatively, so many of the "All-in-One" units that have integrated blu-ray/dvd players you cannot change very many things about they way they are setup and often not add any additional input sources. For the price of less than a lot of receivers in its range, you get a full set of 5.1 speakers and powered sub with this setup. WELL WORTH IT!

Mousa, I'm looking at the same thing, and here's what I've found from checking out Onkyo's website. They have all the current models listed with specs, features, pics, and links to authorized vendors (Amazon included). I also recommend cnet's website for third party and customer reviews. http://www.us.onkyo.com/prod_class.cfm?class=Systems Here's a summary of what I found there: The 5300 gets stepped up to the 6300 with up-conversion on the analog inputs plus powered zone 2 (which allows for same or separate audio to be output on two channels to another location), then the 7300 adds some minor speaker upgrades with tallboy front speakers & bass reflex. For $200 more (MSRP), the 9300 gives you THX certification, upgraded optional on-screen interface, a larger subwoofer (12" ^ from 10"), and an extra Composite input, but no longer includes the optional IR iPod dock. I'm leaning toward the 7300 since the cost vs. the 6300 is minimal and the 5300 doesn't up-scale, but haven't made the purchase yet. My local fry's has them in stock and will price match so I plan on trying them out there first.

No. You're not going to like this unit for other reasons as well. Do some research and spend a little more.

I would suggest a receiver that is close to a 1000 wt range. These speakers are great in a 5.1 or 7.1 system. Pioneer receivers are more expensivebut they are better in my opinion.

Go for Pioneer VSX 921 k , It's a 7.1 channel, if u need to add 2 additional speakers in future....

I cannot answer this, but I can comment that these are very middle of the road unitsI have 4 of them for my 7.1 system, I picked them because of the write-ups.They are well worth the money & are more full range than you would expect for there size. they play very loud for blue-ray & can take the volume & beating.Gary P

Kathy, I found this unit to buy. It has surpassed all of my expectations. I would buy this unit again and again.

This is quite a powerful audio receiver. Depending on whether you want to take full advantage of the 7.1 feature or stick with simply 2 speakers, you will want to shop for the best front, side, rear, surround speakers and subwoofers. It is hard to recommend the "best" speakers because they range in value and price. Try searching online for speakers and see what will fit your budget. All the best :)

this unit is costing more, however, you only get what you pay for. I love this unit cause this provides my puter with a great back up to my playing music. Never go out on the job w/o BACK UP!!! Now I have 2 units, one 8 GB and the other 16 GB. I can program an evenings music on either and not have to worry about losing any part of my commitment. I say, "go for it".

2U is correct, although it is a bit (very tiny bit) out of spec, so if you sandwich it between two 1U units (that go edge-to-edge) you might have some issues.

And the answer for the units we purchased is: 'Straight-In'. Hope that helps?

YES, I DO. Never any problems with it. I would just recommend a good brand name one. I love this unit and hope you have fun..and luck with it!!!

Better. No comparison. 3000 is a solid unit, hassle free. But that unit is old,there are other options in that price range now... check out the numark. Or see if you can find a used m audio xponent. Owned that one for years.... way superior to either.
