Yes I used to use those too. I feel your pain but again recommend the APC as its a better unit and offers what you need. Regarding the FW. The version they sent me is different. They just sent me an even newer version that I will test right now to see if it kills the sparkles. Stay...

Are you running a Samsung TV? If so that is likely the problem. Motorolla boxes get hosed by Samsung TV's when running HDMI. I have 3 of those boxes and 2 Samsungs in my home so I connect them via Component Video else I have to unplug and replug my boxes every other day due to freezing or...

Some partial good news tonight. Yamaha sent me some beta firmware (ver 1.05). Some preliminary tests I ran tonight indicate I no longer get the blue lines but do get occasional blue sparkles with HDMI to HDMI processing engaged. I will be doing more extensive testing tomorrow and a followup...

so far my local Yamaha contact told me they have had zero returns about this issue so hopefully when they ship my sample to Japan they will find a fix and get this resolved.

Not yet. The only resolution that I found thus far is to set the HDMI to HDMI to "through" mode. I haven't seen any problems with analog to HDMI processing. When Yamaha fixes this problem, I will add a review addendum. Until then, I downgraded the video processing and overall rating of the...

I do this as a courtesy for all manufacturers before publishing reviews. You should have seen the debugging I did for Denon on the AVP before they sent me a 2nd unit that functioned properly. As an Engineer myself, I know the stuggles manufacturers deal with in getting working products...

I must have watched the movie Ghost with at least a dozen different girls I dated in college but I don't recall much of the storyline or the charcters in it ;) With exceptional movies like - The Fifth Element, Terminator 2, I went with my guy friends instead and can recite many of the lines...

Most companies will NOT submit product samples once they know a face off is involved. Definitive, Harman and Klipsch for example are three of the big brands that won't participate in this. According to the marketing guy at Definitive there is only 1 winner and everyone else ties for second...

Alex; If I had the time, I would have built them for you but I am so far behind in my reviews. The part quality in this kit is simply amazing for this price!

Isn't it a relief that one of our top athletes wasn't busted for steroid usage but instead took a few puffs just like our former President did? I wonder if he inhaled though :D

Well I didn't nuke anyone but I did design most of the key audio systems in NAOC (defense plane) some of which are used at the oval office. I still crack up when they asked me to design an Isolated speaker system that could separate Red (secure)and Black (non secure) audio and their output spec...

That's a good idea in general with all reviews from all publications, forums, news sources, etc, in all industries. Everyone has a motive. My motivation right now is to goto sleep

Yes I quit my Senior Level Electrical Engineering job at Raytheon nearly 5 years ago to take this website full time where it also employees 3 more full time people (Clint, Tom and my wife) as well as nearly a dozen contractors. This does not include the Audioholics E-store which is an entirely...

Are you a PSB dealer? We don't take consumers products in for review. PM me and we will discuss. thanks.

I can't tell you how many times I've tried to line up NAD/PSB reviews and my emails and phone calls were simply ignored. If you notice those companies have very little web presence for some reason. Its really sad b/c PSB would do very well on our site. I heard and liked their speakers. The...

Here we go again. Please note the Audioholics Store sells 3 of those speakers NOT the Audioholics site. The Audioholics Store like any of our other advertisers is a client on our site and we offer integrated Buy Now links to all manufacturers whose products we review. I can see from your...

Yes of course but I didn't want to flat out ask people to do that :)

dynamic power doesn't destroy speakers. Continuous power does. Please read: http://www.audioholics.com/education/loudspeaker-basics/loudspeakers-power-ratings-part-iii-the-test-results (note the woofer under test was an Axiom midrange)

You're confusing biwiring with bi-amping. This is really bad advice. The impedance switch set to the "low" setting will drastically increase the chances of amplifier clipping. Clipped amps damage tweeters. You're better off with more than less power virtually ALL of the time. The switch...
