    You obviously missed the page title where the article was clearly labeled a preview comparison NOT a review, but thank you for holding such high regards for our reviews. WE do expend great effort in our formal reviews with details and measurements.

    Great timing for an Emotiva interaction...

    Mechanical hum in the transformer is not caused by a ground loop. It's an issue with the actual transformer most likely.

    Great timing for an Emotiva interaction...

    Agreed. People have become anti-social relying too much on email/facebook and texting. How about dealing with a person face to face with a phone call. Things get done more efficiently with less misunderstanding that way. Emotiva is a VERY easy company to get on the phone during normal...

    A warning to anyone considering Emotiva products

    I think this thread has run its coarse. The OP has been able to tell his entire story and clearly express his displeasure. Emotiva shared more of the story with me about this customer issue and hearing both sides of the story now has me satisfied that this issue has been very fairly resolved...

    A warning to anyone considering Emotiva products

    That's what I get for speed reading and multi-tasking. This thread seems very one sided however and I won't speak for Emotiva other than the fact that I've never experienced safety issues with their products. There are always product failures with any company and my experience is that Emotiva...

    A warning to anyone considering Emotiva products

    Let's not jump the gun here. Emotiva is a solid company that has demonstrated their willingness to support their products over the years. They have grown by leaps and bounds and perhaps their customer service hasn't been able to quite keep up on occasion as a result. As for moral character...

    Audioholics Adds New Muscle: Hires Bestselling Fitness Author Hugo Rivera to Head Up Marketing

    Yes don't judge until you download. Our guides are VERY educational. Nobody wants to read 4-500 page books. Ebooks on specific topics are far more appealing for people researching.

    Audioholics Adds New Muscle: Hires Bestselling Fitness Author Hugo Rivera to Head Up Marketing

    There is a lot of synergy between us back since our college days. I'm really excited that things have aligned in such a way that we can be working together again. I'm even more excited by the notion of having more available time to start writing again.

    The Truth vs Hype about Expensive HDMI Cables

    This is NOT True. Most exotic cable manufactures have NO measurement gear to measure cable performance. Most of them don't even believe measurements matter. They love to promote engineering principles that their cables are allegedly designed to offer superior performance but then deny the...

    The Truth vs Hype about Expensive HDMI Cables

    To clear up a few points here: As far as I know, Audioquest doesn't have any staff EE's working at their company. At least I've never found one during my trade show visits or past dealings with article interviews. Most of their cable is contracted from Belden but with nicer cosmetics and...

    At low F we use lumped RLC model. However at audio frequencies don't matter as I've stated many times in this thread. Sqrt(l/c) is appropriate.

    New Article Category/Title

    "News" doesn't have the same SEO power as "Preview". I did this b/c most of our competitors reviews are more akin to press releases written by the manufacturers. Thus we came up with a new category of article to compete SEO wise will still often offering more meaty content than their so called...

    Kimber Kable?

    <!--[if gte mso 9]><![endif]--> It seems pretty reasonable from what your saying. Basically any properly designed audio amp is severely bandwidth limited at RF frequencies. Most power amps have a small inductor in series with the output that will normally block any RF from getting in as...

    Regarding RF Ingress into an Amplifier [/COLOR] It’s been proposed by some folks on this thread that speaker cables can act as an antenna at radio frequencies and ingress RFI into an audio amplifier. I emailed Emotiva about this topic to get their thoughts since they not only design and...
