Actually I think its a valid concern considering many people tend to stack gear. By bringing attention to this, it lets people know placement limitations. Thanks for discussing our Con's list. I just realized we forgot to mention two of the biggest Cons of the player that we discussed in...

Our information is only worth a one time fee of $19.99 to you? Sheesh :rolleyes: You just proved my point why we can't rely on our readers to generate any appreciable income. As for pop ups and spam mail, those are two advertising venues we will never pursue. Our newsletter is opt in...

I will see what we can do.

The truth of the matter is we have done almost no promotion of our apparel if for no other excuse then a lack of time. Regardless we created it not for generating revenue as much as we just wanted to get our brand out. And Jaxvon, thanks for picking up some stuff :o

Picture this. I just built a psycho light for an 8th grade science project. Set it near my brothers speakers so the mic can pick up the soundwaves and light up the dinky multi colored light bulbs for a cool strobing effect. I pop on Genesis Duke on LP. Crank the volume and enjoy the show...

Exactly. We couldn't even get enough people to purchase our tshirts in which we earn a cool $2-3 per shirt to have the affiliate cut us a royalty check. The bottom line is consumers want free information. I don't blame them. Until that changes, folks will have to learn to live with the...

jaxvon; I tell you what, if you can organize a group of forum members equally annoyed by them but willing to contribute on a monthly basis to make up for the ad revenue lost, we would be happy to take them down. :rolleyes:

All tech issues aside, some of the best sounding 2CH recordings I own are SACD while some of the worst sounding multi channel recordings I own are DVD-A. I personally believe the people mixing 2CH SACD's are more careful in making a recording that preserves dynamic range and doesn't abuse...

it has the potential of sounding better, though the differences will be subtle if both formats are utilized correctly. OTOH I have heard SACD's that sound worse than the CD equivalent mix.

Actually you are thinking DVD-A. SACD has a much higher sampling rate, but is a 1 bit converter. See: DVD-A vs SACD Rock; I agree with you for the most part. CD if recorded well is really tough to beat. The big advantage to DVD-A/SACD is multi channel assuming the discs are mixed...

Man this brings back memories of my childhood where my bro's all used Lafayette Criterion 2002+ speakers, turntables, and 40wpc pioneer receivers. It wasn't all that accurate, but nobody cared and the bass literally shattered my Dad's large wine bottle he used to keep on the kitchen floor...

I was not impressed with the multi channel version of Norah Jones either. If you want to be dazzled, try some 2CH Patricia Barber SACDs from Premonition Records.

Unless otherwise stated by the manufacturer, multi channel receivers are usually rated into 2CH driven simultaneously. For more information on this topic as well as the relevance of this test, please check out the following thread: All Channels Driven Fallacy

you should be fine since they have high sensitivity. I recommend setting all speakers to small with xover around 70-80Hz, especially since they aren't full range speakers. This will save on amp power. Go with the 4806 if your budget/space allows for it since it sounds like you can't run a...

Though everyone makes mistakes at some points in their lives, I agree and its amazing how some people get off so easily on it. I think our current President got off by paying a meager $150 fine and temp license suspension while our Vice President actually got off twice on DUI's. I know too...

Macman; you seem to love arguing. Perhaps if you designed magnetics for a living like I used to before doing Audioholics, you would realize that b/c of better materials these days one can design lighter weight cores of similar performance to ones 20-30% larger a few decades ago. Really and...

Materials have changed, such as core material in transformers, winding methods, dielectric materials in caps, board layers, power supply topologies, amplifier topologies, etc. Wood is heavier than stamped sheet metal too ;) of course if you're happy with 70's style receivers and vintage...

thus the reason why we write articles which apparantly few of our forum members get a chance to read: Product Managing Receiver Platforms also using the weight analogy isn't always applicable if you aren't comparing apples to apples. The old vintage receivers from 70/80s had all wooden...

well obviously you can't but considering the LFE track has little to no content below 20Hz that shouldn't be an issue ;)
