    RX-V2500 Build Quality and other brands

    The Outlaw is essentially a clone of the more expensive Sherwood Newcastle but with added DVI connectors. It looks like a decent processor, but potential buyers may wish to check out this thread at AVS to determine if the Sherwood/Outlaw has the latest firmware to resolve these issues noted by...

    RBH speakers

    Mike; The Yamaha/Infinity speakers you mentioned aren't in the same league as RBH Signature Series. They are more comparible to the RBH CT series products. If Signature product is not within your budget, you may wish to check out their MC or CT line up.

    Audio analyzers. Which one?

    The phonic one looks like a good option. Also check out Sencore. They have a new portable RTA that looks promising. If you do get any of these, please give us some feedback. Let us know if they have a plotting and graphing feature and if you can adjust the scale. Thanks.

    Official Denon AVR-5805 Review Support Thread

    I plan on uploading the software this week and testing it. Please be patient as my schedule is tightly packed for the next few months. Thanks. Update 08/16/05 I just uploaded new firmware which hosed my 5805. I am working with Denon to investigate this situation. In the meantime I am...

    Audioholics Party

    All; Thanks for the great compliments. You know I love a good steak as much as anyone but I still haven't dined at Bern's yet. I heard its very good, especially the wine list. FYI, there is a killer Argentina syle place called Latin Grill off of Tampa Road in Oldsmar that IMO has...

    Interconnect Article

    Seeing this article makes me realize I should never waste my time speaking with so called Journalists when they phone me asking for information/advice on audio related topics. I got burned by USA Today on an article turned advetorial for Monster Cable. And, it seems my efforts to explain cable...

    Audioholics Party

    Sorry for the bad pics but in all of the confusion and rush for making party preps, I forgot my digital camera in our hotel room and had to rely on others less than perfect shots ;) We will likely hold a public party at one of the trade shows such as Cedia or CES in the future or in my home...

    Pre-Pro under $2000

    Personally I would go with a Yamaha RX-V4600 over the ones you listed and use it as a pre/pro. It has a better processing section, HDMI, i.Link and none of the bass management bugs that the Sherwood appears to have.

With that in mind we hosted a night of celebration, live music, dance, fine dining, and prize giveaways to 65 of our closest staff members, family, friends and sponsors in the luxurious ballroom at...

    yamaha 4600 + paradigm's

    I ran the Emotiva amp though its paces and then some between my test bench and my Uncle's Colombian parties and only in the latter condition did the fan come on, but the music was so loud, you couldnt hear it. I did manage to activate the fan when doing my amp tests but it didn't sound...

    Interesting talk on Power Conditioners

    Sleestack; We are just getting into investigating this topic, and quite frankly I cannot believe the snake oil involved. I am not too familiar with the APS products but if its marketed as "Audiophile" than I would be a little leary :rolleyes: So far the ones we have found to be of sound...

    Interesting talk on Power Conditioners

    That review reads more like an advertorial than a real review. I would be very careful using a series mode conditioner/power device like this for two primary reasons: 1) They aren't UL tested or approved 2) Many of these type of devices act as a spike amplifier, NOT arrestor...

    and the million dollar question is...

    Be very careful with series mode power conditioners: 1) They aren't UL tested or approved 2) Many of these designs actually amplify incoming spikes and surges

    DVD Review: Al Di Meola – One of These Nights

    Shadow; I am a fan as well and time permitting I will pop in my copy and do a little write up here about it. Both Al Dimeola and Pat Metheny are two of my favorite guitarists.

    Hot Separates System Recommendation Tip

    the amp section in the 2500 is more than capable of powering most surround speakers. People typically drive the amp sections harder for stereo since only 2 sources are producing the sound, you sit further away from the front speakers, and you have to turn the amp up louder. In addition, the...

    Yamaha RX-V4600 Receiver Review Thread

    As we have stated about 1000 times, The All Channels Driven Test is a bogus test. It simulates a worst case test condition into a best case test load and most publications running them use a VARIAC to hold the line voltage constant during the test to give the illusion of more power by...
