Hey at least Forbes seems to appreciate your work. That's something to be positive about.

Thought I would point out a few tools beyond the obvious wire strippers, sound meters etc. that I find useful when setting up an HT system. A small mirror - Ever like to look behind a component and show you where that connection is before you yank every wire out trying to get where you need...

The following is my wholehearted, sincere, contribution to anyone considering purchasing Monster brand interconnects. Monster Cables have succeeded by preying on the unknowing, so in the case of this company, knowledge truly is power. Few people will argue that Monster's products are bad...

In my mind the above is really where it hurts consumers the most. Even if a customer has read cable information, be it misleading or truthful, it's difficult to express doubts when at the point of sale since Monster is going to be all you hear from the salesperson. While it is unfortunate...

Sure they complain, and even for reasons similar to what you describe, but that doesn't mean they don't complain in an email first. I've been able to quell the frustration etc. before it becomes a negative feedback. If their first response was to give a negative feedback, and respond as you've...

My suggestion, though you may not like it is to space the sofa a ways out from the sliding glass door so that you can get behind it enough to go in and out to the backyard, and have room enough for the kitchen entry. Move the love seat to the where the sofa was, then put the tv where the love...

I've been selling items since '99, have 100% feedback, and not by accident. I can appreciate your approach to buying from those who have some negative feedback, but not buying from those with 100% who have busted their *** like I know have, is just flawed logic.

I was well aware you were comparing it to products of the same ilk. I guess my underlying point is that if you are going to review a niche product, that you might also understand that you are writing for a niche market, and an elitist one at that. The fact that a $700 cd player could be...

Acoustics discussion just isnt a sexy topic, pure and simple. Ex. Look dear, at the new TV I got us!!! Ex. Look dear, at the new bass traps I got us!!! See what I mean?

Read today that Samsung is in development of a new 102" plasma display, the worlds largest.

Excellent response hawke. I appreciate all the information and hope you understand that my criticisms were intended to be constructive. I look forward to seeing all the changes.

You must be confused so I'll refer you to this statement above: As for your comments on marketing, I''m going to go out on a limb and say that the people who do this for a living have a pretty good idea what they are doing. So should they decide not to send their product in for review, for...

It is presumptuous to assume that your review's critical nature is the reason that companies will not provide you gear, and sounds to me more like sour grapes than anything else. While I have more experience with NAD's product than Anthem's I have serious reservations in regards to this notion...

cheap option A friend of mine had this same problem , and so I came up with this quick and dirty solution for him. it's a pretty cheap solution but requires 18 rca cables all told, which kinda sucks. Anyway if you want to try, what you do is buy two of these (link below). Run 3 rca from the...

receiver as amp There are various ways to to do this that achieve the same basic result. Essentially you use the second receiver as you would an amplifier by sending it line level signals and using it to drive two of the speakers. One way to do this is to send the pre-outs of the left and...

just an idea Since your primary interest is in music you might consider going with a stereo preamp and 2 ch amp. You can find these at great prices used, and then spend the rest on new speakers.

This all sounds like the best connection you can make. However, in some instances I've seen where certain pvr's look very soft using their component outputs. So if you have the inclination you might experiment using the s-video output on it as well and compare the two to see which looks best...

I'm really beginning to think I'm in the wrong forum when $700 dollars for a CD player is considered "ridiculously low priced for it's performance". Other fun ways to blow $700 bucks. X-Box & HD pack $200 Pioneer 578A or 563A combi player $160 5.25" Sony DVD/-+R/-+RW/ burner $180 JVC...

Products of the year??? Yea...ok Do you really feel like you have evaluated enough different products to warrant giving away an annual categorical award? C'mon you guys only reviewed what one flagship receiver? ...and what maybe 5 receivers all told this year? While I do enjoy reading...
