    Advice on Velodyne DPS Subwoofer

    We have a review of the DPS-10 coming out shortly. Its really not a musical sub as much as its for high impact wow effect for home theater. If your looking solely for 2CH audiophile sound, we found that there are more suitable options in this price range such as the Rocket sub mentioned here.

    Hsu discontinues all tube subs

    Bass requires alot of power and its not advised to use the amps in your receiver to power a passive sub. Depending on the enclosure size, bass alignment and piston area one needs anywhere between 200wpc rms and in excess of 1000wpc in order to achieve high SPL in the bass region. There is...

    Denon DVD-2910 Player Review!

    Haha, good luck finding a consumer product with potentiometers with greater precision than 0.5dB not to mention channel to channel tracking of that level of accuracy. Also, make sure you don't move your head more than a centimeter, blink, or sneeze when flipping between sources or you will be...

    Denon DVD-2910 Player Review!

    Much of it depends on the recording, not the player. Most of the titles coming out now are compatible with a 5.1 configuration. Some of the earlier DVD-A discs such as Toy Matinee werent and if you didn't have bass management on the player or in the receiver, the subs were sent full range...

    Yamaha Digital Sound Projector Review

    Why not arrange for a demo rather than drawing a conclusion based soley on misconception. This product isn't meant for golden ears, high fidelity two channel. Its meant as a solution for multichannel surround for people with limited space and speaker placement options. Did you read our...

    Denon DVD-2910 Player Review!

    This is valid under 4 conditions: 1) Anechoic environment 2) Prime Ears 3) On headphone 4) At certain frequencies and SPL levels Throw loudspeakers into a real room with real people and this changes dramatically. We will have a very detailed article addressing this topic by next week...

    For those w/3910

    This is a problem I noted with the DVD-5900. Anytime you toggle Dlink it also resets your channel trims. I don't think they have a fix for this but are aware of it.

    Vinyl and seperates

    This is an old argument usually fought by people into esoteric tube amps and compression horn loaded speakers. While there is some validity to the arguments, properly executed redbook is nothing short of stellar and has unfortunately gotten a bad rap b/c of poor quality recordings, or poor room...

    Hi Current AV reciever

    The RX-V1500 really isn't meant to drive low impedance, low sensitivity speakers such as the Dynaudios you own. The most cost effective solution would be to add external amplification and use the RX-V1500 as a pre/pro. AV123 makes a phenominally good 7CH amp called the MPS-1 for $2k that...
