    Top 10 Guitar Players all genres

    This seems to be a list more catered towards "10 most popular guitarists" and not 10 most skilled. While I like a good deal of Eric Claptons music, he is IMO one of the most overrated guitarists in the business. His blues stuff is all standard chord progressions that any decent guitarist can...

    Total Eclipse tonight!!!!

    wow nice shots. I was tempted to take some pics as this happened past my daughters bedtime and she really wanted to see it but I figured they wouldn't come out well. Now I can show her these. Thanks Buckeye.

    EQ vs. Room Treatments

    That is why I said "at least" 1/12th octave. And I agree the display of the SMS-1 is virtually useless as we indicated in our review. I always use LMS and a 1/12th octave FFT to verify results. Nulls can be dealt with to a very minor extent with systems like Audyssey. Ultimately using...

    Axiom Audio A-1400-8 First Look

    I am VERY confident this amp will be a significant step UP from the Sunfire one.

    Michael Bay wins the Format War

    Haha this is a hillarious editorial. BTW, I have the Transformers HD DVD and I think the audio fidelity sucks on it. Way too much compression. I should have saved $10 and got it on SD, especially since it wasn't a movie I plan to watch regularly.

    Florida man dumped from wheel chair by the police

    Wow this is crazy. I've been following this story every morning on the Bubba the Love Sponge Show in Tampa. What are the odds it affected someone that visits our forums? Poor guy and thankfully the bad cops were caught!

    APC AV H15 1.5kVA H Type Power Conditioner Review

    The Buzz is caused by a ground loop. If you tie all the grounds of components connected to the H15 back to the chassis pin on the backpanel it will go away. Rotel amps have some of the largest inrush currents in the industry b/c of the multiple capacitor bank in the power supply and little...

    Sub 'Distance' setting

    This is a great discussion and an important one. What matters most is the integration between the sub(s) and the satellite speakers. Its good to start with the correct sub distance but always wise to experiment. In my system I am using Audyssey Pro MultEQ stand alone processor for the sub...

    EQ vs. Room Treatments

    Room EQ doesn't negate the need for passive room treatments. It compliments it. My advice for getting better bass goes in order of importance: 1. multiple subs properly placed: anyone serious about getting good bass and still using 1 sub to do it is seriously missing out 2. some passive...

    Netflix goes Blu

    Downloadable media will never displace had disc sales in the home theater market. People like owning a disc and the Audioholics like us prefer better audio and video quality.

    APC AV H15 1.5kVA H Type Power Conditioner Review

    The Rotel is a clone of the S15 with Battery backup, not the H15. I love the S15s and recently upgraded to S20s with the only drawback being the latter don't have any 12v triggers.

    Denon's separates are here!

    Back when I was a poor college student, I worked for a high end audio shop repairing equipment and installing at client houses. WE sold McIntosh. We never charged for install b/c the profits were so good, we didn't need to. Today the margins in most mass market stuff, especially displays...

    Denon's separates are here!

    Much better than you realize. I have played with many Krell processors in the past and not one of them came even close to the processing power, bass management and overall quality of the Denon AVR-5805. The Krell does however have a much nicer box, aesthetics, snob appeal and resale value...

    Denon's separates are here!

    Everyone seems so fixated on power ratings. This amp weighs over 132lbs! It is very conservatively rated and is bridgeable down to 2 ohms stable! I suspect it will pump out nearly 500wpc into 4 ohms and even more bridged. As for pre/pro, Denon flagships have for the past few years been...
