    Yeah, it could be fake.

    Weird receiver issue

    Considering the number of times that I have bought things (especially speakers and subs), kept them for a while, and then either sold them at a loss, given them away, or stashed them in a closet, probably not.:( I hate to even think about how much money I have wasted that way over the years (or...

    SPL for KEH 5005 speakers

    There is no "should" when it comes to setting your SPL levels. Only you can decide how loud you want it.

    DTS DVDs

    Sometimes DTS sounds better, but it is by no means guaranteed. I even have some DVDs where Dolby stereo is the better soundtrack (with DTS and DD both available.)

    The Number 23

    SK adaptations are a mixed bag. Cujo and Dreamcatcher, for example, both sucked big ones, while The Green Mile and Misery were excellent. Most fall somewhere in-between.

    Interlace vs Progressive

    Sony players use a proprietary deinterlacing algorithm ("Precision Cinema Progressive") that works very well. It may be superior to your TVs deinterlacing.

    Weird receiver issue

    The sad/ironic/unfortunate part of this is that the Denon pair (reciever and DVD player) were a rather pointless, spontaneous purchase to begin with. I already had decent electronics (not to mention that I am in the "electronics don't make a big difference" camp.) I am already back to using my...

    How Do You Rate Your Pq?

    I rate my PQ as excellent, but I don't watch TV. I only watch DVDs. (This includes TV shows, which I buy in season sets.)

    Weird receiver issue

    Is there a way to test that the binding post on the speaker is not damaged? It came loose once (after I over-tightened it), but I fixed it by retightening the nut from inside. No issues since then until now (and that was months ago.)

    Weird receiver issue

    The owner's manual states that the power switch will blink red in protect mode. It blinked green.

    no-name receivers??

    I am not sure that I have a lower limit as far as a receiver and DVD player. The cheapest available willl do just fine. I think it is neccessary, however, to invest some $ in the speakers as they are what make almost all of the audible difference. Also, speakers with low impedance and/or low...

    no-name receivers??

    That depends. If the speakers are easy to drive and the volume is moderate, I am not sure that it would make any difference.

    Marion confesses...

    I had no idea. I guess the steroids must have worked, as that is quite a transition. Of course, even if they didn't have serious side effects, I would be against their use in a competitive situation (unfair advantage.) When I was at the University of Montana, one of the football players went...

    The Number 23

    The critics stomped this one into the ground. The reviews were so hideous that I haven't even considered trying it.:(

    Weird receiver issue

    It is a simple 2.0 setup. The speakers are Boston VR2s. I have checked all the cable connections. The cables are Kimber PB4 (because I have them. I am no longer under the illusion that they are "better".:)) I have some generic 14 gauge I could try. Would a bad cable or connection cause the "on"...
