    Does more money buy you better performance with home audio gear?

    People often think "you get what you pay" for is an absolute. In consumer audio there is often more fluff than substance in terms of marketing claims. So, does this old adage still hold true when dealing with home theater equipment? In order to answer this we have broken the argument into...

    She definitely got a much needed dose of humble pie. She was getting out of control with her ego and bad attitude and I am a bit of a fanboy for her myself.

    Audyssey on the AvpA1hd

    It's all manual PEQ and digital delay and xover function for each sub. Not auto so it takes some know how to use.

    Audyssey on the AvpA1hd

    Guys I was thinking about selling my prokit since I am now using MiniDSP for my bass calibration. I also have the original Audyssey XT32 stand alone pre/pro. If anyone wants to buy the kit and/or the probox, PM me. I will sell it super cheap. Just make a reasonable offer. thx.

    Thoughts on MCACC Pro.

    Don't worry about volume level position. Your sub preamp likely has a lot of voltage gain. Turn it down below 1/2 and recalibrate.

    Thoughts on MCACC Pro.

    the reason the sub level is set so low is b/c you have the gain set too high on the sub. Lower the gain on the sub, rerun the calibration and you will see the levels will go up. This will also increase sensitivity on the sub auto on/off circuit so you don't have to blast the levels to get it...

    The Dolby Atmos Home Theater Paradox

    LOL oh yea I got to get me one of them :) Hugo and I predicted this over a year ago! At least they are only reflecting high frequencies which have a chance of providing a heightened though somewhat phasey effect.

    SUPERGIRL CBS tv series

    Considering what it is and how much Supergirl has always sucked, this show is actually watchable. Some of the acting is cheesy but so far it has a decent story arc and characters going for it.

    Tidal: The Worst Music Service Online — Except for All the Others

    Again I am NOT the author of the article. Please go back to the beginning of the article and note Wayde is the author. That said, I do believe SACD and DVD-A does offer higher resolution than CD. From a technical standpoint this is easily proven. The higher sampling rate of DVD-A allows for...

    The Perfect Remote? An Audioholics Soundbyte.

    It seems like remote controls are the one piece of any equipment that we’re never really happy with. Many manufacturers seem to have given up. They know their remotes are barely adequate and trust that you’ll just go find a better, universal remote to use. We take a quick look at remote...

    What has the biggest impact of sound quality in your Hi-Fi system?

    While some focus on minutiae to “improve” the fidelity of their home theater or Hi-Fi playback system with esoteric tweaks and snake oil exotic cables, we instead suggest focusing on the big three that matter most; the quality of the source, the room acoustics, and the speakers. If you don’t...

    Tidal: The Worst Music Service Online — Except for All the Others

    Tidal has earned notoriety as a new online music business since it arrived last spring. But, unfortunately, it’s making headlines for everything but its CD-quality music stream. Sadly, a Tidal Hi-Fi subscription is your only option (known today) in North America for an all-you-can-hear online...
