It's been awhile since I looked at Stereophile but from what I could remember, they do summed nearfield responses of the speaker and also sum in the port contribution. This is tricky and one must be careful to properly scale driver response and measuring a tweet nearfield isn't always very...

bass measurements in anechoic chambers arent accurate unless of course if the chamber is over 60ft in length which they typically aren't. Its a good idea to ignore the bass below 80Hz or so or if the manufacturer is savvy enough they will develop a correction algorithm to compare and overlay to...

From what I understand, NASA lost a lot of their brain power from the moon days due to age/retirement. I'd love to see private contractors compete and race to Mars but could you imagine if joe six pack builds his own rocket in his backyard and it blows up? Obviously we need good competitive...

See if you can force re-download the firmware by entering the screen that says "download firmware" instead of "Check for firmware update". Also, verify you setup a Net Radio account and copied over your units MAC address in the online registration. I detail this within my review.

Guys; I just added this page where I briefly go over the diagram they sent me and explain the benefits of balanced design. http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/processors/denon-avp-a1hdci/review-addendum-balanced-transmission-further-explored We have a service that does this, thought it...

Anyone catch the Mission to Mars series on Discovery HD hosted by William Shatner? This is pretty exciting though I am a bit disappointed most of the technology is recycled from the 60s. I wanted a 2010 type space ship :)

Ah that makes sense. What perplexed me about the Dali's is they sounded so incredibly open and airy but were a bit too hot at top as you could see in my formal review and measurements: http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/speakers/bookshelf/dali-mentor-1-bookshelf-loudspeaker-review Despite...

I just finished recording it (50 min long) but had some tech issues with my software which causes some background noises. I also had to contend with a thunderstorm half way into the interview so I hope you guys don't beat me up too much on the sound quality. This is my first podcast and its...

that Curtis guy has been on a vendetta against us for nearly 2 years on Ascends own forum. I find it interesting that as soon as someone on AVS accused him as being an employee of Ascends, the owner of Ascends instantly chimed in. Its bizzare actually since we already conducted a favorable...

Block Diagram of AVP and POA Attached is a block diagram I just got from Denon Engineering that shows the circuit topology and component scheme used in these products. I will discuss this in the Podcast interview today and also add an informational addendum page in my formal review. In the...

It's almost NEVER a good idea to go with 5 Full range speakers in a surround system b/c the speakers will almost always never be properly placed for optimal bass response. You are better off with 5 monitors that play flat down to 80Hz at high SPL and 2 or 4 subs. See...

I guess some people still have a hard time understanding that the Audioholics E-store is essentially another advertiser of ours just like an Oppo, Emotiva, Axiom, etc though our E-store is a pretty lousy advertiser so far since the overhead is eating into the thin profits its seeing partly due...

I wanted to start this thread to gauge who from our forums is coming to our event this October. Please post a reply here if you are coming. We are preparing an A/V System giveaway that only registered people attending our event are elligible to enter. I highly recommend you register now...

I thought about that long ago but there is so much overhead in Magazines and you basically have to water down the content to stuff more ads to pay for it. We will be offering Audioholics memberships soon which will result in a variety of benefits to our readers, including printable and...

thanks for pointing that out. He is likely pissed at us for 1 of 4 reasons: 1. Canadians are almost always exluded from our contest (not our choice) 2. He was banned from our forums for violating our rules 3. He's a dealer from a company whom the Audioholics E-store also carries the same...

The robot in this movie looks like a rip off of Short Circuit Johhny 5 done in the 80s. It doesn't look too hot but my 7yr old daughter wants to see it so I guess I am stuck :(

Here's a video on it: http://gmy.news.yahoo.com/v/8573163 So many atoms so little time.... :)

This movie was great for what it was. My wife was hysterical the whole movie. It was certainly more enjoyable than some of the recent flops we've seen.

Thanks this did the trick on my unit.

That doesn't seem right but I will ask. Since the update, I can't get Net radio to work. It just keeps saying "please wait". I use a wired connection as well. I have a valid IP and everything. Not sure what's up but I will look into it more this weekend.
