    CD/DVD-A/SACD Dynamic Comparisons

    WmAX; I agree with you 100% and feel it is truly sad. We will be posting an interview article on cables with a high end speaker manufacturer that will surprise everyone. Realize that many of the high end manufacturers try to support their dealers who usually promote very high $$$ cables...

    Yamaha RX-Z9 -or- Anthem Statement D1

    John; The D1 looks like a hard to beat processor. After they upgrade it for i.link and HDMI, we will likely be doing a review on it. But it looks really good, at least on paper that is.

    Yamaha RX-Z9 -or- Anthem Statement D1

    Check your speaker connections. Perhaps you have a short causing the protection circuits to kick in? Circuit City sells Yamaha Z9's? Thats news to me :)

    Yamaha RX-Z9 with SF Cremonas?

    I can personally vouch for the Z9 sound quality. My home theater just doesn't sound the same without it :( Amp section is superb, DSP processing is exceptional (if that sort of thing is your bag). I can't wait for the next Z series Receiver from Yamaha! BTW both my listening tests and...

    My little system and a pic

    Facing out usually works better to avoid cancelling especially when in close proximity. However you need to figure a way to blend the mains with the sub and not have an excessive bass bump or cancelling within the overlapping bandwidth of the two. Its not easy (though not impossible) which is...

    My little system and a pic

    Nova; Definately a nice setup. If I may suggest somewhere down the road try experimenting with a nice 5 Channel power amp. I have found RBH speakers to truly sing with the best of amplification. Not to say the Denon AVR-3805 is a slouch, but you owe it to yourself to feed them a dedicated...

    Biamping 3805: Wrong Poliarities?

    Jack it is difficult for us to mention a problem that didn't exist in our test unit. When I meet with Denon at Cedia next week I will bring this up with them, although their tech support I spoke with in the past didn't seem to think there was a problem.

    RCA Cables

    The Jon Risch Cross Coax is about on par with a decent quality 12AWG Zip cord cable one can buy at a supply store such as Lowes or Home Depot. The problem is, it is rather involving to produce and delicate to handle. It is certainly worth a try as far as DIY cables go. We will soon be posting...

    Speaker Cable Faceoff 2: Introduction & Measurements

    The only motivation I see if if you prefer a flat cable or prefer the cosmetics. I personally use the Starflex and have both at my disposal.

    Loud Music Can Cause Lung Collapse?

    Apparently yes according to a report in the medical journal Thorax, they described cases of young men who suffered a lung collapse -- technically called Pneumothorax. According to the Reuters Report: “A pneumothorax occurs when a small rupture in one of the lungs allows air to leak into...

    Speakers; When is good enough, enough

    Keep all the expensive equipment, but dump those cables. It is ridiculous to have a cable with an RLC box slapped on it to essentially roll off the highs, especially for $23K. Tone controls should be done in the digital domain, if at all. Here is an interesting link showing the inside of an...

    Audio Cable Tester Requirement

    By all means post the spec here. I am certain you will get some good feedback from all the cable loonies (like me) participating on this forum ;)

    Speaker Cable Faceoff 2: Introduction & Measurements

    Starflex and Flexygy measurements are similar enough for them to be indistinguishable sonically. They are both good cables with great terminations and cosmetics.

    Flat Speaker wire?

    Try the River Cable Flexygy. They measure well, have great terminations, aren't too overpriced. Best of all you get a 10% audioholics discount by using the code: AH504FX There are cheaper alternatives from Ram Electronics but I haven't tested them yet...

    SACD approval for Denon Link 3rd Edition

    You will have your answer when we meet with Denon at Cedia in less than two weeks. BTW, SACD/DVD-A via a digital connection with proper time alignment and bass management is not a essential part of my breakfast :) Once you have it, you can't go back.
