    Emotiva Audio RPA-1 Stereo Amplifier Review

    Unless things have changed at ATI, their amplifiers are built in the USA. Outlaw Audio uses ATI to OEM them their beefy amplifiers. Of course, like all things these days, some of the parts may be made overseas. As to the "benefits" of having things built in China... I say BS to that...

    Announced: New Pioneer Elite A/V Receivers with HDMI 1.3a

    By the time these new receivers come out I should have satellite HD to go along with my Blu-ray player and 1080p TV. That said, neither the Denon nor the Pioneer Elite receivers use the much touted Reon-XV scaler from Silicon Optix... only the upper Onkyos (and perhaps the Integra line too). I...

    Aerial Acoustics

    Hell, go buy some 10 AWG Belden wire from bluejeanscable.com, some locking banana plugs (if your amp takes those) or gold spades, buy some mesh tubing, a little shrink wrap... and BAM! I bet you'd never know the difference between these DIY jobbers and those $1,000/foot fire hoses being sported...

    Lookin for a few good suggestions!

    You want to up that budget a smidge. You're pricing yourself out of some other good stuff. I would recommend going a step at a time. Otherwise, you're going to end up with equipment and speakers you're going to be replacing relatively quickly. If you can't afford a really nice receiver...

    New Receiver....

    If you only want a lower budget receiver go with the upcoming Onkyo 605 receiver. It comes out in May. It is supposedly the first out with HDMI 1.3 inputs (2) and decoding for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. Don't short change yourself especially with 2007 stuff coming out in mere...

    Onkyo TX-SR605??

    This model does not have 7.1 pre-amp outputs (to attach quality power amplifiers to it). However, it may or may not be a deal breaker for you. The brochure literature for the 605 seems to indicate HDMI 1.3 and the ability to decode Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio lossless formats from...

    New Denon Receivers vs. Onkyos

    No one knows yet. The better Onkyo's are adding the lastest DSP engines from TI in order to do TrueHD and Master Audio lossless decoding and Burr-Brown 1796 DAC's... but, if they aren't implemented correctly can have negative impacts on feature sets and audio quality. Will DeepColor support...

    Any Marantz fans out there?

    As to multi-channel PCM 7.1 over HDMI to the Marantz's there have been quite a few reports that they have a problem with this. There are a few Blu-ray discs like this (6.1 to 7.1 or 6.1 with duplicated rears). I would definitely wait a few months and have a larger array of choices. HDMI...
