    The Process of Surround Mastering

    My comments about Bob's endorsement of his Transparent Cables. Audioholics Editorial Note Adding a 50 cent RLC zobel network to a speaker cable and charging tens of thousands of dollars for wire is not necessarily a technological breakthrough. It should be noted while we don’t agree with...

    Transformers trailer

    I wouldn't be too sure of that. The new movie didn't follow the storyline of G1 all that much and even the G1 movie didn't have much respect for the original characters. They killed off nearly all the main G1 autobots...

    Emotiva Audio RPA-1 Stereo Amplifier Review

    Outlaw amps are assembled in USA but most of the parts are from China just like other amps. Its really a matter of semantics as to where they are assembled. Outlaw makes some great amps, or should I say the guy that designs ATI amps makes great amps for Outlaw. LOL.

    Live Earth Performances!

    Some great performances from many notable musicians: http://liveearth.msn.com/concerts Best of all it was for a great cause. Genesis redeemed themselves from their shameful VH1 performance IMO. Metallica was great as were so many others. Don't miss Spinal Tap....Check it out!

    Is paying $4,000 for a pair of speakers with one tweeter worth it?, confused

    Definately. You should go for the speaker system that has the most woofers and tweeters in it as possible. Get a few of these woofers in your house: http://www.soundimage.dk/images/Giant%20woofer.jpg and some of these horn speakers...

    Is paying $4,000 for a pair of speakers with one tweeter worth it?, confused

    You're wasting your time with RBH speakers. You need these: http://www.kpbj.com/images/general/CoverStory_2001pg10.jpg They are far superior to any multi tweeter/woofer speaker system on the planet. I am sure they will play plenty loud too :rolleyes:

    Amp through power conditioner?

    If you are using an APC conditioner or any other legitimate conditioner that has UL approval, then it shouldn't be a problem at all. I have an MPS-1, Yammie 2700 receiver and other equipment all plugged into an APC H15 and I use this system to host partys where we sometimes play music at...

    OMG I felt the same way. In fact as I was driving home, I couldn't help to have a heavy foot and until my wife yelled at me for doing 100mph on the expressway, I didn't even realize I was speeding. Hmm... I think my Acura TL would make a great autobot :)

    Microsoft Extends Xbox 360 Warranty

    Agreed. I never got the red ring of death with mine. Insteady my unit would freeze up minutes after I started to play any game I had. They fixed it since then but I still have major issues with one of my games. I call the software company and they blame Microsoft. I call Microsoft and they...

    Transformers trailer

    The movie was awesome overall. My (few) complaints: Was hard to tell who was who (transformers) Optimus could have been a bit tougher I would have liked to see more on Cybertron The Positives: For once in an Alien type movie, humans kick ***! The movie had great action and an...

    Dynaudio Audience 52se 'popping sound'

    that's a bunch of bunk and the same excuse Dynaudio tried to feed me when I found the same issue with these speakers. The problem is, they are tuned too low and the drivers have insufficient excursion capabilities to handle it. This is a common problem with bookshelf speakers attempting to...

    Transformers trailer

    Glad to hear this. Rotten Tomatoes gave it fairly positive reviews and they hate almost everything. While it may lack the charm and nostalgia of the old G1 show and movie, I am sure the lack of messed up animation of dual Starscreams, Spike carrying a giant robot transformed into a casette...

    Emotiva Audio RPA-1 Stereo Amplifier Review

    SNR is all relative. Most manufacturers rate SNR at full power. I scale it back to 1 watt where the amp spends most of its time to level the playing field. An amp that does 80dB or better at 1 watt is excellent. The quietest amp I ever measured did around 90dB at 1 watt. SNR was never an...

    360 Failure rate approaching 33%?

    Let me add to this by mentioning my XBOX 360 failed and required service after 3 months of light usage. Almost everyone I know who owns a 360 had similar reliability issues. This is unacceptable and makes me kinda regret I upgraded to a 360 from Xbox. I did it all for Star Trek and Halo 3 and...

    Emotiva Audio RPA-1 Stereo Amplifier Review

    The power xformer in the RPA1 is 2x that of the MPS-1. I think the caps are the same on both. The RPA-1 definately handles low impedance loads better than their other amps.

    Emotiva Audio RPA-1 Stereo Amplifier Review

    Most preamps and receivers can output 2Vrms or greater. The 1.2Vrms # you are referencing is likely not a max figure but a standard output level the manufacturer specs distortion under a specific load. I have never run across a Denon receiver that can't output more than 2Vrms unclipped.

    Emotiva Audio RPA-1 Stereo Amplifier Review

    Not sure who fed you this line of BS but I can assure you Outlaw's past products, such as their last processor, was built by East Tech in China. Almost no manufacturer manufacturers their products in America. They are all built overseas and sometimes engineered and/or assembled in the USA...
